Symptom
Exception in the supplier invoice "The date of this document must be before the due date and the baseline date for payment, which you can find under Payment Details."
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign.
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center
- Go to the New Invoice Without Purchase Order common tasks.
- Fill the necessary fields.
- Select a future date for Invoice Date field.
- Select a date before invoice date to the Due Date field.
- Post the Supplier Invoice.
Check that it was created with an exception: The date of this document must be before the due date and the baseline date for payment, which you can find under Payment Details.
Cause
The Invoice Date must be before the Due Date and Baseline Date.
Resolution
This is a system behavior. When the Invoice Date is in a future date, after the Due and Baseline Date, system will create the exception. To fix the error, either you need to change the invoice date to DD.MM.YYYY or enter Baseline Date for Payment as DD.MM.YYYY.
You can also have the same error for Customer Invoice.
Notes: The Baseline Date is a date you expect to complete a certain milestone, that is, a validation date for the payment terms. This date determines the permitted cash discount or when the invoice is due.
The Due Date is when something needs to be finalized, paid for, etc.
