Navision Document Dates for Payments

In Nav 4.0, “Document Date” for a payment was same as its invoice’s document date

Now, in NAV 2013, “Document Date” for a payment is same as the cheque posting date.
Is it possible to change “Document Date” to match the Invoice date?

Hi Rana,

The “Document Date” is set when creating the payment. As default it is set to match the Posting Date. And typically you would only change it when receiving an invoice later than the actual posting date. Like if you receive an invoice dated 28.11, but you don’t receive it until 3.12. In that case if your payment terms for example is Current Month+30 days, but you already closed the month of November, then you can set the Document Date to 28.11, and hereby get the payment date to calculate correctly.

And it’s same for payments. The document date will match the posting date (of the payment), unless manually changed.

This was the same in NAV 4.0.

So if it didn’t behave this way in NAV 4.0, then I’m sure this was a customization.
