Subract n days from a date

Using 2004s service pack 10. Is there a way to subtract x number of days from a date using a formula? I saw an earlier post that said to use function module RP_Calc_Date_In_Interval but when I search for this it says it doesn't exist. Is it called something else in 2004s? Is the only way to accomplish this using a function module?

If formula variable does not work and if the "no of days is a fixed number", then next alternative is to have a routine in transformation and make the subtraction.

How to calculate number of days from a date field

Dear BW Experts.
I have a field 'Create Date' in the BEx query. Now we need to create a variable which should give the number of days from the date of running the query (sy-datum) to the Create Date.
This will help the users to get records which are say, 30 days old (Sy-datum - create date = 30) or 10 days old etc.
Could you suggest as to how to create this variable.
Thanks,
Sai

Hi,
Step 1: Create variable on "Create Date" with User entry processing type
Step 2: Create a restricted KF for Sales & restrict it on "Create Date" to get "Sales on day"
Step 3: Manipulate the values of "Create Date" on which you could restrict "Sales" again and again to get other values
Step 4: Create one variable (ZPUTMNTH) for u201CMonth to Dateu201D with processing by u201CCustomer Exitu201D. This variable was created on u201CDateu201D characteristics.
Step 5 : Goto C-mod t-code and use EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001
to calculate "month to date" user input is "Calday" Key Date
WHEN 'ZPUTMNTH'.
IF I_STEP = 2. "after the popup
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
WHERE VNAM = 'ZPDATE'.
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW(6). "low value, e.g.YYYYMM (200606) part of key date (20060625)
L_S_RANGE-LOW+6(2) = '01'. u201C low value e..g. YYYYMM01 (20060601)
L_S_RANGE-HIGH = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW. "high value = input
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'BT'.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
Assign if helps.....

Payment term - 90 days from document date on 15th of the month

Helllo,
Can anybody please tell me how to configure following payment term?
90 days from document date on 15th of the month i.e. as follows:
u2022     Document date = 03.01 => Due date = 15.04 (90 days completes on 03.04)
u2022     Document date = 15.01 => Due date = 15.04 (90 days completes on 15.04)
u2022     Document date = 27.02 => Due date = 15.06 (90 days completes on 28.05)
u2022     Document date = 18.03 => Due date = 15.07 (90 days completes on 16.06)

Define no 'fixed day' and 'additional months'. Go to payment terms section and enter 90 in 'No. of days'

Subtracting Days from a Date

Am using Acrobat Pro 9 for Windows. I have a form where I want to subtract days from Date1 and the result is Date2. The Date1 and Date 2 text boxes are unformatted. I've tried reading the "date" articles and experimental with some formulas but I'm afraid I'm still Acrobat illiterate. Any ideas? Thanks.

It would be best if you set up the Date1 field to be formatted as a date. That way, Acrobat uses a built-in routine to automatically validate that the entry represents a valid date. You can then use a custom Calculate script for the Date2 field that looks someting like:
// Custom Calculate script for text field
(function () {
    // Get Date1 field value
    var v = getField("Date1").value;
    // If field is empty, blank this field
    if (v === "") {
        event.value = v;
        return;
    // Convert the date string to a date object
    var d = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy", v);
    // Subtract 5 days
    d.setDate(d.getDate() - 5);
    // Set this field's value
    event.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", d);
Change the date format (mm/dd/yyyy) in the code above to match what you want to use.

Can I create a field that calculates number of days from a date field?

Hi all,
I need a field that will calculate the number of days elapsed whatever date is entered into the date field, and update that number of days based on the calendar/computer calendar date. Does that make sense?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/arkmnsxjkl4r156/AFBS_FacilitySpecialCareList02.pdf
I set up the form so that my boss can add or subtract clients from the list. Each client needs to have its own "Days since added to the list" number. Sorta like a little aging report.
Is this possible?
Many thanks,
Laura

Wow, I'm so stumped. I tried to copy a bit of formcalc into the exit event for my current date field to try to make this happen, but I can't get it to work.
My attempt at scripting is embarrassing, but here it is:
form1.sf1.CCSub.CCGroup.#subform[0].DateField2::exit - (FormCalc, client)
form1.sf1.CCSub.CCGroup.#subform[0].NumericField2.rawValue = Date2Num(DateField1, "MM-DD-YY") - Date2Num(DateField2, "MM-DD-YY")
and here's the file:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/arkmnsxjkl4r156/AFBS_FacilitySpecialCareList02.pdf
Can anyone help me get this right?

Need to subtract one day from the date appearing

Hi, I am modifying a script in such a way that for an output type there is an invoice date appearing. This invoice date should be back dated to 1 date less to the actually date that is appearing currently.
For ex the date is 2007.08.30 it should appear as 2007.08.29.
While debugging I found that it is picking up the data for the date from the structure vbdkr and the field is fkdat. From the following code in the script.
/:   DEFINE &SALES_ORDER& := &VBDKR-VBELN_VAUF&
/:   INVOICE DATE,, : &VBDKR-FKDAT&
What changes do I need to make the changes in the script or in the driver program?
Can you please suggest?
Thanks.

Hi..
You can get this Functionality by Calling a FORM (subroutine) from the Script Layout itself There is no need to change the Print program.
Eg:
In the layout set -> window -> text elements. Write this before displaying invoice date
/: PERFORM F_DATE_SUB IN PROGRAM ZPRG01
/: CHANGING &VBDKR-FKDAT&
/: ENDPERFORM
INVOICE DATE,, : &VBDKR-FKDAT&
Create the report program ZPRG01: In the program ZPRG01
FORM F_DATE_SUB TABLES INTAB STRUCTURE ITCSY
                                              OUTTAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
DATA: L_DATE TYPE D.
READ TABLE OUTTAB INDEX 1.
L_DATE = OUTTAB-VALUE. "you need to convert here
SUBTRACT 1 FROM L_DATE.
OUTTAB-VALUE = L_DATE.
MODIFY OUTTAB INDEX 1.
ENDFORM.

How to get Unpaid balance from 30 days from chose date

hello All,
i have to get the UPB (unpaid balance) from daily table and i need to check the UPB from last month. there are seperate daily and monthly tables. And depending on user enter date range as parameter value i need to look up the monthly table.
for example if user enter date range 08/01/2011 to 08/15/2011 then i need to check for month of July from monthly table to get previous month UPB.
please help
Thanks

Have you tried the add_months function?
This would allow you to find the date a month before the given value, then you could truncate that to get the previous month. I haven't tested, but I assume the code would be something such as below:
select trunc(add_months(to_date('15-08-2011','dd-mm-yyyy'),-1),'MON')
from dual;
01-JUL-11I don't know the layout of your tables, but hopefully this will help.

Customer Exit for Number of Days from 1 st Apr to last date of Month Enter

Hello BI Experts,
I have a requirement to count the number of days from 1 st April of current year to the last date of month entered.
For example : The use will enter say July 2010 or 003.2010 (as Fiscal Year Variant is V3 ).
Today is 14 July ...So we have to first find out the end date of the July month ie 31 st July
Then go to 1 st April 2010.
Now calculate the Number of days between 1 st April to 31 st July 2010.
I consider I have to create two Customer Exit variable
as below
1 st customer exit Bex variable say ZLY_MTH ( Last day of Month Entered)
and i_step = 1
2 nd Customer Exit BEx Formula variable say ZF_NUMDAYS ( Number of days between two dates)
i_step =1 .
Please provide me the logic for the above two.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Amol Kulkarni

PSUDEO CODE:
1. Initially LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE WHERE VNAM = 'ZMONTH'.
2. Get the Month input using VAR_MONTH2 = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW+4(2)
3. Now calculate Month+1: VAR_MONTH2 = VAR_MONTH2 + 1 (Refer **)
4. Now calculate the Current Year: VAR_YEAR = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW+0(4).
5. Get the 1st Day of the Month (VAR_MONTH2): CONCATENATE '01' '/' VAR_MONTH2 '/' VAR_YEAR INTO L_S_RANGE-LOW.
6. SUBRACT 1 (0DATE) from this DATE (This will give the logic for last day of the current month)
Insert this code also for using the date conversions
        CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
          EXPORTING
            INPUT = VAR_MONTH2
          IMPORTING
            OUTPUT = VAR_MONTH2.
Pls. check out this logic. Guess it would solve your need.
Thanks,
