Adjust Posting Dates

When a purchase or sales document is created, the dates are set based on the workdate. However, if, for example, a sales order is not posted (invoiced) until a later date, these dates are not updated automatically. This must be done manually before posting.

To improve real-life sales and purchase posting scenarios, DYCE allows users to adjust the Posting Date, Document Date and VAT Date during posting, eliminating the need to change the original document beforehand.

The Adjust Dates on Posting field on the General Ledger Setup page controls whether users can change the Posting, Document, and VAT Date during sales or purchase posting. If enabled, an extended dialog with dates fields appears when posting sales or purchase documents.

This functionality is aligned with standard Business Central behavior, including the VAT Date Usage setting in the General Ledger Setup, where the VAT Date field is shown in the dialog only if the setting is set to Enabled or Enabled (Prevent Modif.). It also respects the Invoice Posting Policy for sales and purchase documents which are defined, among others, in the User Setup.
