This function is used for a given reference date to retrieve the accounting balance for this reference date.
The reference date therefore plays an important role because the accounting information is retrieved how it was on that date.
This inquiry can also be a useful work tool in the tracking of customer open items. It can be accessed in two ways:
This function enables the retrieval of the balance to date, but does not process every case.The historization of the open items is based on the flows in the modules upstream of the Financials module; the exclusively accounting events such as manual matching/unmatching, do not strictly fulfill the historization criteria.
That is the reason why an invoice manually matched with two not-posted payments at different dates will be considered as closed on the earliest date of the two, not successively and gradually on the date of the two payments.
Refer to documentation Implementation
This inquiry is carried out on a single tab.
The historization table for open items HISTODUD is used by the inquiry functions of aged balance at date (CONSBAH and CONSBAHF) and by the report of the aged transaction balance BALAGEHIST.
This table is updated at each open item creation, and then at each open item update.
Not all fields defining an open item, are historized. Actually, updates for the payment method, the PA level and the data linked to reminders are not traced.
In the HISTODUD table, the main fields to be used are:
A - Regarding invoice posting, the event date corresponds to the invoice accounting date.
B - Regarding partial or complete matching of open items (via the direct posting of open item payment or the accounting matching), for the paid open item(s), the event date corresponds to the most advanced accounting date of the group documents at the time of matching.
Example:
Let us consider:
The group documents will be regarded as closed on DATEVT= most advanced accounting date of the group documents, hence T3.
Regarding partially or totally closed open items (hence associated with an entry line using lower or upper case matching code), the event date kept for each matching, corresponds to the most advanced accounting date of the group documents at the time of matching (hence on MTCDATMAX of GACCENTRYD).
Depending on the matching method, the updates of the HISTODUD table and of this event date can vary.
Example:
Let us consider a 1.000 € invoice posted on T1 date, followed by two payments on T2 and T3 dates:
Two different cases should be considered:
In the first case, the history mentions the matching processes:
In the second case, since it is manual matching for three accounting documents, the event date is also the most advanced date, but the result is slightly different:
The outcome of the first scenario is the same via the accounting matching, if the invoice and the 600 € payment are matched in a first step.The matching group of two documents with the 400 € payment are then matched in a second step.
These steps are made possible as the matching history can be retrieved by the user via the hierarchy of manual matching steps.
C - Regarding control account transfers, no record is created, since the previous ones are updated for the control account code and that the event date remains the same.
D - Regarding BP fusions, the principle is the same as for the control account transfer: no record is created in the HISTODUD table, but the existing records are simply updated and the event date remains the same.

Presentation
This tab is used to view all the columns that are used to display the open items balance. Following the screen setup, the totals are displayed in either transaction currency or local currency. Only the "Total in local currency" column (or "Total in transaction currency") cannot be set up and is always displayed in the exchange value. For example, for a Aged balance screen where the open items are presented in "local currency", this column will display the open item total in "transaction currency"; conversely, the Aged balance screen where the open items are presented in "transaction currency", will display this column the open item total in "local currency".
The reference date is the date from which the BP situation should be fixed. It is the date from which the amounts of the open items not closed on this date, are dispatched into the interval columns based on their due dates.
Example
Creation of an invoices for 01/07/04 for an amount of 1000 EUR.
Creation of a credit note matched to the invoice for : 05/07/04 for an amount of € 200.
