What accounting date is assigned to the credit memo?

When a dispute is approved and the credit memo created, the Credit Memo Creation process sets the accounting date to the last day of the earliest open accounting period.

For example, if a dispute is approved on 3 January 2020 and the December 2019 period is open, the transaction date and accounting date are set to 31 December 2019. This ensures that the revenue reversal is created in an accounting period as close to the original transaction as possible.
