• Key Concepts: 
  Effective date is a feature in SAP Business One (SBO) that allows users to set a specific date for when a document or transaction will take effect. This date can be used to control when certain documents or transactions are posted, and can be used to ensure that all documents and transactions are posted in the correct order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the effective date feature, users must first select the document or transaction they wish to set an effective date for. Once selected, users can then enter the desired effective date in the appropriate field. Once the effective date is set, the document or transaction will not be posted until that date. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting an effective date, it is important to make sure that the date is set correctly. If the effective date is set too far in the future, it may cause delays in posting documents or transactions. Additionally, if the effective date is set too far in the past, it may cause documents or transactions to be posted out of order. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The effective date feature can be used in conjunction with other features in SAP Business One such as document approval and document locking. By using these features together, users can ensure that all documents and transactions are posted correctly and in the correct order.
