Procedure documentationEntering and Editing Deferral Dates

 

If a business partner is temporarily unable to pay his liabilities, you can enter a deferral date in the item. You can reverse a deferral by deleting the deferral date in the item. You can enter a deferral date in the item when you post or change a document. To cancel a deferral date, use the transaction Change Document. If you want to display the deferral date of an item, use the transaction Display Document.

Note Note

Entering a deferral date has the same effect as if you had changed the net due date to the deferral date. Since you enter the deferral date in a separate field, the original net due date always remains visible.

End of the note.
