Linking Invoice Received Date to Due Date

Posted on by JG-25091601-0

Hi there!

Trying to get the Invoice Received Date field to auto default Due Date based on Vendor Lead times, however having difficulty. Currently the document date is auto defaulting the Due Date. I am trying to keep the Document date as the original order/PO date, however, because the document date is what updates the due date, I have to overwrite the document date to be the date my invoice was received. I can't get the invoice Received Date field to drive the due date. Any suggestions?

That's how the system functions out of the box, there's no connection between the invoice receive date and the due date. By default:

The Document Date is automatically populated with the work date when you create a new document, and you can manually change it after

The Due Date is calculated as the document date + the payment terms (i.e. if the payment terms were net30 your due date would be the document date + 30 days)

The Invoice Receive Date is blank by default, and you can manually populate it.

I am trying to keep the Document date as the original order/PO date,

It sounds like it would be better if you used the Order Date field for this instead of using the Document Date. Then you can use the Document Date as the date the invoice was received.

Thank you Valentin.

That would work except once you post a sales order or Purchase order, it is not visible on the document. I need the original order date visible in BC on the posted invoice. Suggestions?

The Order date field is there, its just not added to the posted purchase invoice page and its not available to add when you personalize your screen. But if you customize the profile you're using, you can add it to the page.
