Hi RD,

I would recommend you to go by posting date rather than going by document date.

Document date basically represents the date on which the original document was issued.It's free field and you can give any value in there and the system will not thow any error.

Where as,you can choose only those value from the date range in the Posting date field for which the posting period is open, other wise the system will throw an error.

So posting date give you more relevant information than document date.

Moreover, posting date is used in most of the companies as a baseline date for determining the due date of the financial postings.

Hope it clarifies your query.

Thanks,

Hi,

Go to Transaction Code-OBB8.

Select the payment terms  for which you want to checkand click on the display icon.

On the next screen, you will find the relevant details for the determination of baseline date-

(a) No Default

(b) Entry Date

(c) Document date

(d) Posting Date.

Either one of the above would have been selected for the determination of the baseline or due date.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Amlan
