The period date is the value date of the bank statement, and the posting date
is the date the bank statement was posted in the journal entry header for
reconciling bank statements.
All dates in journal entry lines are set to the period date.
When calculating
exchange differences or
interest, etc. the value date of the post (i.e. the due date of the
document) that can be found in outstanding items determines
when a document has been paid. Document types used in reconciling bank
statements have a built-in validation that checks whether the due date in a
journal entry line is the same as the period date in the journal entry header.
If not, an error message is returned (see Document due
date is different from journal entry period!).
If the posting date in the journal entry header is subsequently changed, the
dates in journal entry lines have to be changed also. The Correct
Dates of Posting function, found in the Wizards
menu, is used to do this quickly.
