Payment Terms for Invoice doc

[Former Member]

Hi,

When we create a payment term in obb8 we create the default for the baseline date from 4 options.... but actually when we see create the billing doc VF01 we just get the billing document date.... in case i want to change my baseline date i am able to do it only after FI posting has been done but this doesnot reflect in the Output of the invoice. How can we change the baseline date from billing doc,,,

Any ideas....

OK there are a few things to consider here.

The billing document also has a posting date, and there may be the occasion when a billing document does not post automatically into Finance.

However once it has posted into Finance the output can be determined.

You need to specify which date the baseline date is calculated from, however you could in Finance change the value. If this is an issue, restrict the field from being changed in Finance.

In SD you will have the date of the invoice plus the payment terms, however you can only make sense of this once a FICO document has been created.

Hope this helps.

The main obejctive of this is that we want seperate date for posting date and baseline date for due date calculation...

for e.g. customer receives the goods on 29th... we get the POD on 2nd... then billing is generated on 2nd .. but we want to start the due date calculation from 29th while system does it from 2nd as thats the posting date... is there any way we can change the baseline date for due date calculation......

Did you try "No default date" in the definition of the terms of payment, in which case , you have to manually enter the baseline date?

Sridhar,

Even if we give No default date then also system picks up Billing date in VF01 as we dont have any field there for baseline date....

Try copy control and make the document date as the date to caluculate the baseline date in the payment terms.

You can always change it in the sales order after you change the payment type. you can also use the value date field in Sales order once you recieve the invoice. you can ask billing person to go to so and change the value date so ur reflective of the new due date

if you go the header and in the billing document you should find that information.
