Document date, and posted date.

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

According to accounting department document date, and posted date must be the same, some of the employees told me: you'd better change them, they must be the same. But they must be the same as document date. So, after a very tired meeting I understood it. How can I set every transaction by document date in the purchase order module?. Here you have a attachment of one case.

Thanks,

    Yes, they're already aware of this situation, we had a meeting, and we talked about every detail, thanks for responding!.

    Hello,

    I know it going to sound weird, but you're my hero, it worked.

    This could cause problems when the document date is for a closed accounting period.  What if an invoice comes in late?  Does your accounting department really change prior period information that may be closed?  Having the posted date separate from the document date is a good tracking tool to see how long an invoice may take to get 'approved' and processed.

    Hi Freddy,

    It looks like your system is currently set up where the posting date is coming from the Batch ID.  If you go to Tools >> Setup >> Posting >> Posting, it will open up the Posting Setup Window.  Choose Purchasing as the Series and the Payables Trx Entry as the Origin.  Look for the Posting Date From and see what it is set as.

    If you want the Document Date to be the same as the Posting Date then it should be set to Transaction and not Batch.  This will default the Posting Date to the Document Date.

    Repeat this in the Posting Setup for any other screens that you want this to take effect in.
