Documentation

Definition

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

Use

When you want to generate a list of sales documents or sales statistics, the document date you enter determines which sales documents are selected. You can define the document date to meet the needs of your organization.

Example

For sales orders, for example, you can define the document date as the date when the order actually arrives at your offices. Alternatively, you could define it as the date when the order was written up by a field sales representative.

Procedure

The system proposes the current date. You can change it manually in the sales document.
