AR Incoming payment in sap fico

***********aatn Guru'********** AR Incoming payment

Question:
While processing ncoming payment for an existing open item , i am using residual item to create open item for remaining open item.
For the new open(line)item that's been created the baseline date date should be the original invoice date.
But system picks up the current transaction date.
eg. AR open item dt 1.1.2002 10000
Incoming payment on 1.6.2002 2000
While processing incoming payment thro residual method, a new line item for AR will be created at 8000 suaring of this old line item.
For this new line item the value date(base line date) sould be 1.1.2002 but not 1.6.2002 so that my aging report will be meanigful.
I have checked sort key for recon account/payment terms/value date rules and nothing helps.
Any Suggestion please???????????????????????????????

thanks and regards,

Answer:
ACTUALLY U SEE THE MAIN FUNATIONALITY OF RESIDUAL METHOD IS TO CLEAR THE EXISTING OPEN ITEM AND CREATE A FRESH LINE ITEM THATS' WHY SYSTEM TAKES IT AS A BASELINE DATE, IF U STILL WANT UR BASELINE DATE TO BE THERE INTACT INSTEAD USE PARTIAL PAYMENT METHOD

Answer:
You can always manually change the baseline date to any date you want via change line items.
