How to fix this error?

Either the document (goods receipt, invoice) was entered in Release 3.0
or a program error occurred.
Before Release 4.0, the document date was not stored in the PO history.
As a result, this fields is empty for documents entered then. The
posting date is automatically selected as the update date. In this
case, no error occurred.
The document date of the material document or invoice verification
document is used as the update date (updating at the time of goods
receipt or invoice verification).
In some cases, the update date is changed to the start or end date of
the arrangement validity period if the original date is not within the
arrangement validity period (e.g. as a result of a data input error).
In the case of arrangements settled periodically, if the update date
falls in a period for which settlement accounting has already been
performed, business volumes are assigned to the next period for which
settlement accounting is due. The update date is changed accordingly.
This procedure ensures realtime inclusion of business volumes during
subsequent settlement.
In the case of invoice verification documents entered in Release 3.0,
the posting date of the invoice verification document is used for the
subsequent update of business volume date. The "Document date" field in
the PO history is empty in the case of these documents.

Procedure for System Administrators

Please contact SAP if a program error occurred (not if documents were
entered in Release 3.0).
