🎯 Purpose

This article explains how the Document Date and the Transaction Effective Date are determined when transferring a document from Microix to MIP Accounting, with specific focus on the “Use Original Transaction Date as the Effective Date” option in the Transfer dialog.

🧭 Overview

When transferring a document from Microix to MIP Accounting, two different dates are involved:

• Document Date – The date associated with the document itself

• Transaction Effective Date – The date used by MIP Accounting for posting the transaction

These dates are handled independently based on the selection made in the Microix Transfer Dialog Panel.

⚙️ Transfer Dialog Option

Use Original Transaction Date as the Effective Date

This checkbox controls how the Transaction Effective Date is populated in MIP Accounting.

🔄 Behavior Details

Option UNCHECKED (Default Behavior)

• The Effective Date field in the Transfer dialog defaults to the current date

• If left unchanged, this date is used as the Transaction Effective Date in MIP Accounting

• The Document Date in MIP Accounting uses the Microix Document Date unless changed during the transfer process

• The Effective Date does not override the document date

Option CHECKED

• The Transaction Effective Date in MIP Accounting uses the Microix Transaction Date 

• The Effective Date shown in the Transfer dialog is ignored

• The Document Date in MIP Accounting continues to use the Microix Document Date unless changed during the transfer process

🧠 Key Takeaways

• The Document Date always comes from the Microix Document Date or manually changed during the transfer process

• The checkbox only affects the Transaction Effective Date

• The Effective Date shown in the Transfer dialog is informational unless the checkbox is unchecked
