Accounting Date to default to the date the invoice was last approved while posting

22 votes

Invoice Accounting Date (for AR and AP):
- IMOS considers the accounting date as date of posting the invoice but this is editable

We want the date when the invoice was last approved (last approver) as the default date for Accounting Date.

Also, optionally, would help to have a configuration flag to prevent changing the accounting date once default is set per this rule.

Should apply while posting single invoice or in bulk as appropriate.

Please note that the Exchange Rate Date should also default to the last approval date when applicable (non-USD transactions).

We've added a new config flag for this, CFGDefaultAccountingDateToFinalApprovalDate. There is a hierarchy of flags used to set accounting date, which is described in the flag's description: When enabled, defaults the accounting date to the invoice’s final approval date. Only effective if invoice approvals are in use, otherwise the accounting date will default to today. Enabling this flag will have no effect if CFGActNoDefaultAccountingDate or CFGActDefaultAccountingDateToInvoiceDate are enabled. Takes precedence over CFGPromptActDateInInvoiceBulkPosting.
