Billing document - Baseline date change status

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

I have the following issue with the baseline date for the billing documents.

Billing date proposed by the systems based on the goods issue is 30.01.2010 while the date of creation of document is 31.01.2010. In FB03 transaction baseline date status is showing as changed from 30.01.2010 to 31.01.2010. Following is the setting done: In OBB8 for the said payment terms the baseline date shown is the "posting date' and in VTFL item level copy control

it is defined as "Data VBRK/VBRP 007 Inv.Split (Rec/Div)".

Why is the baseline date getting changed by the way User is entering the bill of lading in the outbound delivery >Header>Shipment (on 31.01.2010)..not sure if this is in any way contributing to the baseline date change...Appreciate your reply.

cheers

Joseph

Baseline date is generally governed by config in OBB8 but we can influence it by writing code in USEREXIT_FILL_VBRK_VBRP. This will obviously affect baseline date in billing docs. The same should get copied into the accounting document. Now the catch is if the accounting document is changed (e.g. Payment terms) then system will populate baseline date as per the config.

So may be you should check if there is anything in the userexit and whether accounting document was changed.
