Value Date query

[#1]

Hi Everyone,

As we all know that the value date field is an editable field in FB02. I have noticed that

if click the pencil icon in FB03 and make changes to text or any other field and save the

document, the value date entered before, disappears from the document. If I edit the document

from FB02 then the value date does not disappear. Kindly give your suggestions on this.

Also sometimes when I enter value date in F-28 and post the incoming payment, the value

date does not get displayed in FB03 and in Table BSEG Field VALUT. Please give your

valuable inputs on this also.

Regards,

Dear Manzoor,

Follow this path and ensure that Value Date, ie, BSEG-VALUT is not appearing here.

Spro->Financial Accounting (New)-> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New)-> Document-> Rules for Changing Documents -> Document Change Rules, Line Item.

If it is available here then, double click it and unselect the check box field can be changed.

Please comment if this is not the solution.

Best Regards,

Thanks Yogesh & Anss for your efforts, but the problem persists.

First of all, the value date field has to be an editable field, so I cant change the Rules for Changing Documents.

The problem is described by Two scenarios:

1. For a BR document posted with value date, say, "25.03.2011" if I edit the 'text' field in FB03 without changing the value date and save the document, the value date gets erased.

2. For a similar BR document posted with value date "25.03.2011" when edited in FB02 without changing the value date and the document is saved, the value date does not get erased.

Awaiting your kind suggestions.

Hi,

There is a Propose Value Date settings in SPRO ->Financial Accounting Global Settings (NEW) -> Document ->Default Value Date. By enabling this function system autoamtically changes the Value date to current date.

Hope this helps you in understanding how the Value date is arrive in case of changing the doc info.

Give a suitable points for the solution.

Hi,

i think this problem is related to ABAP. there can customize fields in the screen through program's. Or go to posting key ob41 in that screen layout set value date field as required entry with help of field status variant tab

Hi Kumar,

I dont think the problem could be related to ABAP as this is standard SAP and not an ABAP Development.

Also if I change field status for posting key 15 to make value date mandatory, I will have to make changes

in the reconciliation account field status also, which will have other repercussions. Awaiting your kind suggestions.
