Automatically generate accruals for Parked Invoices

Dear SAP Gurus,
I am currently in the process of trying to improve our month end accrual process.
We currently have a standard process where we issue a PO, book in the delivery and then process the invoice. Occasionally we have instances where the invoice is received before the GRN is completed (the goods havent actually arrived or a User has forgottent to book in the Goods Receipt).
In this instance we park the invoice and then complete once the GRN has been booked in.
My question is is it possible to automatically accrue these parked invoices at month end without having to download and then post via a journal?
Is there some way of using the accrual engine to account for these parked invoices at month end?
Thank you for you time.
Regards
John

Hello.
To initiate a new payment batch, enter criteria for the invoices you want to pay. Payables selects all invoices that match your invoice selection criteria and that are ready for payment.
You can initiate payment batches from either the Payment Batches window or the Payment Batch Sets window. You can also schedule payment batch sets to automatically submit at regular intervals.
And yes, the payment batches consist on standard concurrent requests. You can access payment batches by naviganting to Payments/Entry/Payment Batches.
As you know, you can classify your suppliers in a Payment Group. Suppose you have, lets say, 150 suppliers, all belonging to the same Payment Group. All invoices from these suppliers can be paid on a single payment batch.

Business object type for parked invoices

Hi,
We are using documentum to store documents that have been attached to business object types in SAP. The business object types are configured in transaction OAC3 to point to a pre-configured content repository.
Having this configuration allows the object type to use the "services for objects" option, enabling it to store attachments.
The business object types for invoices have been configured and we are able to store attachments. However this does not seem to work for "Parked invoices". The configuration in the "services for objects" component is not there and the feature to store the attachment is disabled.
As the configuration needs to be done for all object types that need to be able to store attachments, maybe someone here can indicate what the object type is for parked invoices. Alternatively, maybe there is a way to look up the various business object types.
Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Thanks.

Std workflow for Parked Invoices?

hi guys
are there any std workflows for parked invoices? Our requirement is that once the Finance clerk creates a customer or vendor invoice he should only be able to park it and not post the invoice. Once the invoice is parked then the system should trigger a workflow and a notification neeeds to be sent to the approver to approve the invoice. Once it is done the finance clerk will post the invoice.
I switched on the event trace and did a trace on while creating a parked invoice. No event is triggered when the document is parked. If i post the document the event POSTED of object FIPP is triggerd. So since we dont have any std events raised when a document is parked is it possible to have a workflow?

Hi,
The event FIPP.CREATED is raise via the customizing (SPRO)
Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting global setting -> document -> document parking -> create workflow variant for parking documents.
Assign co.code to a workflow variant for parking documents.
Have a look at ws10000051.

WF for parked invoices

I need to create a workflow for parked invoices and I have a couple of questions.
(1) I am copying template WS20001003, but at the end of the WF I want someone to post the invoice, however this WF doent allow you to do that, is there a SAP standard way of doing this or do I need to create my own subtype and method?
(2) another requirement I have is for the AP clerk to choose who to send the WF too, and that perosn can then reject the WF and send it back to the AP clerk, who then will resend it to someone else. I can figure out how to let the AP clerk choose who to send the WF to but how do I allow it to get passed back?

Hi,
I think your first requirement can be achieved thru authorization. Give only the concerned person the authorization to post the document.

Batch Input for Parked Invoice (FB60) - Lag in creation ???

Hi folks,
I'm using a batch input on FB60 so as to generate a parked invoice. Furthermore, I'm calling it in complex posting 'cause sometimes it implies posting on asset (posting keys 70 and 75).
The point is that the batch input works fine, but sometimes in the exact same situtation, with non rationnal explanation.
I'm using this :
sl_bdcoption-dismode = 'N'.
sl_bdcoption-racommit = 'X'.
sl_bdcoption-nobinpt = 'X'.
sl_bdcoption-updmode = 'L'.    " or A or S, still the same
CALL TRANSACTION 'FB60' USING tl_bdcdata
                          MESSAGES INTO tl_messtab
                          OPTIONS FROM sl_bdcoption.
COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
so that I can catch the number of my created invoice from the message table. Indeed I need this to update BKPF which has some custom fields (on the Basis Data tab). All the transactional controls on my custom fields are deactivated through an Export to Memory and I know how the screen displays with the option sl_bdcoption-nobinpt = 'X', both set before the call.
First I thought my bug was coming from the Update Mode in structure sl_bdcoption, but I've tried to set it to A, S or even L. I've tried many options from that structure, but the bug remains random...
How can I be sure that the call is ended and that my new invoice is created ?
Any oher way I can do this ? Any BAPI I haven't found ?
Thx in advance for your help,
NH

Thx, I'll try the E mode. I hope it will solve that issue, it's driving me mad
Actually, even if the context I'm using the Batch Input seems complex, due to the complex posting, the invoice I generate in that particular program is quite simple.
I was hoping that someone has already saw that table half empty
Do you think it may come from the exit in FI used to add some custom fields on the 'Basis Data' tab ?

Authorisation object for Park Invoice & Complete

Hi Friends,
In our Business we have different persons for Park Logistics Invoice verification(LIV) & Complete LIV for perfomaing the transactions. For both the activities T.Code is MIR7.
Can we assign to differnet persons parking & completion of LIV. If so can any body tell the object name for the same. I tried by going to SU24, in that I couldn't find the suitable one.
Our scenarios is while making the LIV goods receipt didn't took place, so we park the invoice. After completing goods receipt we will complete the LIV with PO no / Delivery note.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sai Krishna

Hi Charlie,
Thank u for ur response.
Actually there are three levels of LIV authorisations required as mentione dbelow:
1. For Parking
2. For Completion
3. For Posting.
For Posting I am using MIRO. For that reason I am looking for authorisation of Parking & Completion different authorisations.
I hope now it might be clear to u.

Field exit / Badi for Parked Invoice

Hi,
Whenever somebody changed and saved an existing parked invoice, I need to perform some checks and may need to overwrite the posting date field. Is there any field exits or badis I can use? Thanks!

Hi,
I tried using the above mentioned exit and it appears that whatever I have edited in T_VBKPF, will be updated in the database. However, when I tried to update T_VBSEG (baseline date), the changes are not updated in the database. Basically, my requirements is to update the baseline date base on the document date, posting date and payment terms. Any advice? Points will be awarded for your help. Thanks.

Syntax error for automatic generated class for object MAS_AUTH_CUST

Hi,
I am configuring the mobile sales scenario. I encountered a weird problem. Basically the automatically generated class ZDOECL_013_00H_MWSR can not be activated. If you activate it manually it will give you the below error. Looks like the entity structure is too big. So the generated code has a very big loop which causes the dump. I found the issue when try to run the function module CRM_AUTH_CUST_INSERTCDS as suggested in the configuration guide.
I have tried to regenerate the object. But it still give me the same error.
Internal error occured during runtime generation of Class ZDOECL_013_00H_MWSR (Dump ID: GEN_BRANCHOFFSET_LIMIT_REACHED)
Message no. OO053
Diagnosis
An internal error occurred when the system tried to generate the runtime objects of the class. A dump has been created with the given dump ID. It can be analyzed using transaction ST22.
Our Netweaver version as below. It should contain already the latest patch etc.

Printout for Parked Invoice Document

Hi Gurus!
One of my client's requirement is to create a customize sapscript printout of a Parked Invoice. The report will also include figures such as the following:
1. Amount Net of VAT
2. Total Input VAT
3. Net Payable to Vendor
4. Witholding Tax
Like what we normally see upon posting of the parked document.
Need your professional help on this.
Thanks!
Jeffrey

Hi Anil,
When a parked document is created, SAP uses BO FIPP. So to attach any file to a parked document you need to use object services of FIPP. When we post document to G/L we create a document of type BKFP. So you need to pass attachment from FIPP to BKPF.

Tax not calculating for parked invoices

Hi
We are using external tax system to determine taxes in SAP. When an invoice in MIRO is posted normally, the external tax system is called and tax is getting updated. Whereas, when the invoice is parked for future posting, tax is not being calculated.
Please help.

Hi Nikitha
I am able to park the document with tax. The problem is when I return to the parked document, I cannot see the tax in the field i.e., it shows 0.00 and therefore the system does not allow me to post the document.

Role Maintenance - Automatically generated names for authorization objects

Hello NG,
I've got a question concerning the mentioned subject.
Currently I am maintaining the roles/authorizations of a customers system (Rel. 3.0) which has moved to Rel. 7.0.
When I add an authorization object to a role, the technical name is generated automatically. How can I set up the naming conventions for the authorization objects?
Thank you very much.
Regards ..

Hi SUNIL L,
I refered to 3.0 but I think that the release version has no relevance for my problem. I think I should try to explain my problem once more:
When I add an authorization object to a role, a technical name is generated automatically and assigned to it. Is it possible to set any naming conventions for this?

Automatically generate thumbnail image icons for all pix and vids...

hello,
i've searched around on the forums a bit about making the icons of my pics and vids actual thumbnail images made from the picture or the first frame of the video.
a lot of responses are mistaking this question for "how do i put the window into icon view?" this infact is not the answer that i suspect a lot of windows converts are looking for.
windows automatically makes such icons for all pix and vids if you put the window into icon view.
i notice in at cmd-j or in the window preferences there is a checkbox for "show image preview" or something like that, but despite this being checked, my pix and vids do not show an image preview. i'm gathering that this information does not exist in the resource fork which mac uses to organize photos.
is there any script or addition i can make to my system to automatically generate icons for pics and vids of all types? how to i suggest to mac that they add this functionality into the next release?
thanks for your time,
max

The Finder will create icons "on the fly" for nearly all graphic type files (jpegs, tiff, psd, and so on) and display them in both icon view and column view, provided the appropriate view preference has been set. Movies will just have the generic movie icon in icon view, and have a "live" preview in column view, ie you can play them in preview mode. If you want to add a permanent thumbnail which will display in all views, and whether or not the preference has been set for a particular folder in Finder, you'll need to add a thumbnail to the file. There are lots of ways to do this for static pictures, even rather clumsy ways to do it for movies, but the easiest thing is to get CocoThumbX:
http://www.stalkingwolf.net/software/cocothumbx/
Drag and drop both static pictures and movie files onto the application and a permanent thumbnail is created. Indeed, it will create cool thumbs even for things like PDF and HTML files (code or rendered display). For movies to get a thumb, they must be in a format that QuickTime can read. It has a set of preferences for just how you want the thumb determined (eg random or at a certain time), and you can drop batches of movies or even folders to have it assign thumbs to multiple movies at the same time. It is a way cool piece of shareware.
