    Posted: 08 Aug 2011 at 12:33am

Hi

I am using crystal xi to produce invoices which display a due date. Most of my customers are on a 60 days from month end terms and I would like to display this on the invoice.

 

The current formula I am using is;

 

Dateadd('d',-(DAY(dateadd('m',1,dateadd('d',60,{sales_anal.invoice_date})))),dateadd('m',1,dateadd('d',60,{sales_anal.invoice_date})))

 

and this seems to work fine for all dates apart from the 1st of each month.

 

For example

 

When the invoice date is 01/07/2011 an incorrect due date of the 31/08/2011 is returned but for invoices dated the 02/07/2011 a due date of the 31/09/2011 is returned, which would be the correct date for both invoices.

 

Is there another formula i can use to prevent the 1st of the month anomaly?

 

Many thanks

based on the logic of going to the end of the month then adding 60 days I get that the your sample items should be due on 29-9-11 not the 31st so I am not sure if this is what you want but you can try
 
dateserial(year({sales_anal.invoice_date}),month({sales_anal.invoice_date})+1,(1-1) + 60)
