Definition

Reference date for the cumulation of goods receipt quantities.

Use

When the agreed cumulative quantity is determined, goods receipt quantities from the PO history are cumulated. In the process, the system takes into account all transactions recorded up to and including the reconciliation date entered.

Three dates are listed in the PO history for each transaction (goods receipt, return delivery, reversal). By specifying the comparison date, you determine which transactions are to be taken into account in arriving at the agreed cumulative quantity and which are not.

Example

A goods receipt is recorded on 01.03.1998.
The posting date is recorded as 12.31.1997 in order that the delivery is booked in the correct period (December).
The delivery note date (12.22.1997) was also entered.

For the fiscal year changeover, all deliveries made up to and including 12.31.1997 (according to the date in the vendor's delivery note) are to be included in the agreed cumulative quantity.

By choosing the Date of delivery note, you ensure that the system takes the above delivery into account if the reconciliation date is 31.12.1997. If you choose the Date of entry, the delivery would not be included in the agreed cumulative quantity because the date of entry (01.03.1998) lies after the reconciliation date (12.31.1997).
