AP Discount Due Date Not Working

[Tim_Miller]

We're having an extremely intermittant problem in AP where the Discount Due Date is not being calculcated correctly. This only happens once or twice a month (over a couple thousand invoices) and I thought it might be a keying error but it happened yesterday and one of our clerks saw it happen. In the instances we've seen, the discount due date is either set to the invoice date or 30 days from the invoice date. The discount available is being calculated correctly, which really makes it strange because what's happening doesn't match any of our existing payment terms Has anyone seen anything like this? We're on A7.3, cume 11, and we only use AP & GL. JDE was able to find some problems like this but they all were with clients using purchasing. Thanks.

Tim,

I've seen this happen when the invoice date is entered
and then the discount date is automatically completed.
The user then changes the invoice date but the
discount does not get updated. The only work around I
found for this without deleting the invoice and
re-entering, was to blank out the discount date (field
exit). Invoice entry the resets the discount date
based on the invoice date.

I concur with Mike Dupaix. Once the date fields (due date, discount due =
etc) are populated then if you change the invoice date these fields will =
not change - this is standard JDE. I think the assumption is that the =
user may have entered specific dates to override any calculated dates. =
Anyway the solution is to blank out these dates, including any at the =
pay item level including the fold area before pressing enter for change =
(or clicking on the change icon in GUI).
