SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Customer Invoicing work center.
2. Go to the Invoice Documents view.
3. Select the Invoice ID ABC (ABC represents the ID of the invoice)
4. Click Cancel.
5. In the New Cancellation Invoice screen, click View All.

The Posting Date field is grayed out.

The system behavior is correct since the posting period is currently in status Open and Not blocked.

If the posting period is open and an invoice in that particular period is canceled, the Posting Date field in the new cancellation invoice will be grayed out and read-only.

It assures that the invoice and the cancellation invoice fall into the same accounting period.

To be able to change the posting date, it is required to close the period following the steps below:

1. Go to the General Ledger work center.
2. Go to the Companies view.
3. Select the company ID XYZ (XYZ represents the ID of the company)
4. Click Set Process Control.
5. Select the relevant Process Control and change the Process Control Status to Blocked.
6. Click Save.

After that, it will be possible to change the posting date in the cancellation invoice.
