Comments on the DGI conformity:
- The entered date cannot be inferior to the one of the document (invoice, credit memo or additional invoice) marked with the previous number. This control is performed when the Chronological control is activated in the sequence number counter used by the entry type which is linked to theinvoice typespecified.
- The entry of invoices, credit memos or additional invoices, can be limited, for a user, to a range of dates defined by theACHSTRDAT - Purchasing start dateandACHENDDAT - Purchasing end dateparameters, when they are entered.
- Date modification is authorized only if the new date applies to the same accounting period. This control is performed when theFRADGI - French fiscal regulationparameter is set to 'Yes' and the period component belongs to the counter.
- In the Distribution and A/P-A/R accounting modules, an entry which is at the origin of an invoice, a credit memo or an additional invoice cannot have a date greater than the date of this invoice, credit memo or additional invoice.
For instance, the date of an invoice displayed on a credit memo cannot be greater than the date of this credit memo.
Likewise, a delivery note displayed on an invoice cannot have a shipment date greater than the date of this invoice.
A control is carried out to check the dates. The picking left lists and selection windows are filtered accordingly.
You can use an entry point to disable this control, by defining a specific parameter: CTLDATORI - Document date control (TC chapter, INV group).
