Checking Document Values Before Posting

You can assign a date check to a user. As a result, before posting orders or invoices, a new page opens on which certain document values can be verified again and adjusted if necessary.

Note

If you assign a date check to a user, please take into consideration that the document dates in the new window may be overwritten. The document dates in the new window are the dates that will be posted regardless of the dates that were entered in the document. Thus, it might be necessary to enter the document dates again in the new window.

  • Use the quick search (ALT+Q) to find the page User Setup.
  • The page User Setup is displayed.
  • On the page you will find the column Posting Date Check

Posting Date Check Column

  • To edit this column, click Edit List from the menu bar.
  • A new page opens in which you can edit the fields.

The following options can be selected for each user in the Posting Date Check column:

  • No Check
  • Empty Values
  • Document Dates
  • Workdate

If you assign one of these values to a user (except for No Check), a new page will be displayed before posting. On this page, you can check the following document values and adjust them if necessary:

  • Document Date
  • Posting Date
  • Due Date
  • Payment Discount Date

Note

The document values Payment Terms Code and Payment Terms Description can no longer be edited. To be able to change these values at a later time, you have to cancel the posting via the Cancel button.
