Documentation

Definition

Specifies the month in the threshold date.

Use

The document date is compared with the month and day you enter for the threshold date in order to determine a proposal for the settlement reference date.

Dependencies

  • Setting: Move to End of Previous Period
    • If the document date is the same as or before the threshold date of the current year, then the system proposes the end of the previous settlement period for the settlement reference date.
    • If the document date is after the threshold date of the current year, then the system proposes the document date (usually it is in the current period).
  • Setting: Move to Start of Following Period
    • If the document date is the same as or after the threshold date of the current year, then the system proposes the start of the following settlement period for the settlement reference date.
    • If the document date is before the threshold date of the current year, then the system proposes the document date (usually it is in the current period).

Example

Example 1. You made the following settings:

Day of Threshold Date:    31
Month of Threshold Date:    03
Setting:    Move to End of Previous Period

  • Document date: February 17, 2005
    The document date is before the threshold date of March 31, 2005. Therefore the system proposes the end of the previous period for the settlement reference date, that is, December 31, 2004.
  • Document date: April 17, 2005
    The document date is after the threshold date of March 31, 2005. Therefore the system proposes the document date for the settlement reference date, that is, April 17, 2005.

This setting is useful for service charge keys, for which the invoices are normally received at the beginning of the following year, but the settlement has to be made for the previous period.

Example 2. You made the following settings:

Day of Threshold Date:    30
Month of Threshold Date:    11
Setting:    Move to Start of Following Period

  • Document date: November 17, 2005
    The document date is before the threshold date of November 30, 2005. Therefore the system proposes the document date for the settlement reference date, that is, November 17, 2005.
  • Document date: December 01, 2005
    The document date is after the threshold date of November 30, 2005. Therefore the system proposes the start of the next period for the settlement reference date, that is, January 01, 2006.

This setting is useful for service charge keys, for which the invoice is normally received at the end of a calendar year, but the settlement should not be made until the following year (for example, insurance that is paid in advance).
