Symptom
You are trying to post a supplier invoice but receive the following error:
Document date too old; Receipt date must not be more than 10 years in the past.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Supplier Invoicing work center
- Select view Invoices and Credit Memos
- Select the respective Invoice
- Click Check
- Error: "Document date too old; Receipt date must not be more than 10 years in the past"
Cause
If the document(invoice) date/ receipt date is more than 10 years old, it is not possible to post it with that old document/receipt date.
Resolution
You can change the document/receipt date to later date so that it is within 10 years and then you can post it.
If you still want to post the document with the old document date, then you can include the old invoices on the Open Items Payable migration (Business Configuration->Migration of Accounting Transaction Data). It will create a version of the invoice that has a posting date same as migration date, but you can maintain the old document date and it will show up on the aging list as such. There'll be no "source document" created, i.e. if you try to open the invoice on the UI it will not show anything, but there'll be an accounting posting for it and it will be a document that is represented in the system, even though an old one. If there's taxes, they can also be included via the template.
