When issuing an intercompany sales order, the posting date on vendor invoice header for purchase order in receiving legal entity is automatically set as the system date. Some organizations wants this posting date to be the same as the invoice date on sales and purchase order. The feature "Adjust posting date automatically during invoice posting" added in January 2022 does not cover specific dates, only periods and is only useful when a period closes before an invoiced order is posted.

Example:

Current date: 04.07.2022

Legal Entity 1 issues a sales order with invoice date 01.08.2022 to Legal Entity 2, hereby creating a purchase order in LE2.

PO is confirmed and invoice is created in LE2. Terms of payment is net 30 days and due date for invoice will be 31.08.2022. On vendor invoice header, the field "Posting date" is set to 04.07.2022, same as system date, but can be changed manually. The change suggested would set this automatically to 01.08.2022.
