Payment terms - Baseline date calculation.

[former_member348872]

Hi

In payment terms configuration, we have option "No Default" for determining Base line date.

If we have payment terms with above configuration.......

In Fi, Baseline field will be blank while posing Customer Invoice, in which case We can enter baseline date manually. However If Invoice is generated from SD-billing document, we dont have any field "Baseline date" while posting billing doc. In such case how system determines Baseline date. When I checked few billing documents, Baseline date is defaulted with BIlling date even "No default" option is selected.

Is there any configuration in SD that prompts this action. or is it always billing date is defaulted ?

Please clarify

It is the billing date which forms the baseline date for FI. It is possible to contorl the billing date using the copy controls in SD or manually also user can change. Using exits also it is possible to change the billing date.

If you want to control the date that is being passed on to FI from SD, then there are user exits available to control this.

Hi !! Madhu,

There is a way, but not exactly what u require! You can check while maintaining the condition records in t.code VK12, observe the last two columns available, one is called a 'Fixed Value date' & the other is called 'Add Val Days'.

If you make any entry in the field 'Fixed Value date' this will be the date from which the payment terms start taking effects. Or if you make an entry in Add Val Days' in this case the payment terms start taking effect from billing date + the no. of days mentioned in this column.

You cannot make a entry in both 'fixed value date' & 'Add Val date' fields at one time.

Give your feedback if this has worked for you.
