2917116 - Fulfillment Date in Pro Forma Invoice

Symptom

You would like to know how the Fulfillment Date in a Pro Forma Invoice created from a Sales Order is determined.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Sales Orders work center. 
  2. Select the Sales Orders view. 
  3. Select Sales Order XYZ (XYZ represents the Sales Order ID). 
  4. Click on the Pro Forma Invoice button. 

You would like to know how the Fulfillment Date in the Form Template is determined.

Cause

The Pro Forma Invoice is a simulated Invoice that is created from the Sales Order reference and not persisted.

The Fulfillment Date that we see on Form corresponds to Provision Date in the pricing terms for the proforma invoice that got created (not the pricing date on Sales Order).

This Provision Date on the Pro Forma Invoice is filled in output classes by the default value of the Invoice Date, which is the Posting Date of the Sales Order.

Resolution

The Fulfillment Date is determined from the Posting Date of the Sales Order.
