PM00202: Request for clarification

Hi:

I'm working with table PM00202 (Vendor Period Summary) and am noticing that my fiscal and calendar year entries don't always agree for a given period. Further scrutiny seems to suggest that the "Receipt date" and "Posting dates" seem to be playing a role here (looking at the invoice entries).

In the case of the calendar entry for a given period, the "Receipt date" appears to have been used as the period cutoff while in the fiscal period tally, the "Posting date" seems to have been used.

I'm a programmer still learning GP, not an accountant. :) Does the above make sense? Is this an accounting thing that I'm unfamiliar with?

Oh, I should mention that our fiscal year is from January to December. As a result, I expected both entries for each period to be identical hence my confusion.

Thanks,

Pab

Thanks for the link, that is good information. However, I still don't understand the relationship between each of these dates and the fiscal vs calendar year tallies in PM00202.

Since our fiscal and calendar years are the same, couldn't I expect the fiscal entry and the calendar entry for a given vendor to be identical?

Thanks again,

Pab

Hi,

The receipt date(document date) and posted date can be different. Please click here to see very good post by Victoria about different date fields on various transactions on GP.
