Documentation

Definition

The date on which you want the sales document item (the sales order item, for example) to become effective for sales management purposes.

Use

In IS-SW, the date is used to evaluate eligibility for price protection. The price protection period (defined by sales org.) is added to this date to calculate the date until a sales order item is price protected. If the customer requests delivery prior to this calculated date, then the customer is price protected (eligible for the lower price determined at order and billing). You can define the date to meet the needs of your organization.

Example

For sales orders, for example, you can define the item date as the date when the item is ordered by your customer. Alternatively, you could define it as the date when the item was written up by a field sales representative.

The system proposes the document date from the sales order header. You can change it manually in the sales document on item level.
