Introduction:
There will be a requirement to change posting date to system date or actual posting date for parked documents. Parked documents may go to error when posting date is in previous period. To avoid the situation where documents going to error, we need to change the configuration to allow parked document posted in the closed period. You set the indicator that changes the posting date to the system date. You then park a document. A week later you complete the document and post it. The system changes the posting date to the current system date. If changing the posting date results in a new fiscal year, the system keeps the posting date as it is.
This document explains the configuration for parked document posting date changes when user post.

c) 2 (Same as 1 only if the posting period is closed): This option works same as option ‘b’ when posting period is closed. This means if the posting date of the document is closed then actual posting date will change to system date. If the period is in open then posting date won't change and it will post same as parked document posting date.
Configuration in OBD1
Scenario Example:

Posting period closed after parking the above document. Period will be closed once month end activities over and there will be some parked invoices which are not processed in the month end activities. In this case system can’t post in the closed period.
