Invoice Planning FPLT table

Question

Hi Friends
We are planning to use invoice planning functionality. I have set up everything for invoice plan and able to generete invoice through MRIS . Once invoice are created the invoice status in invoice plan(FPLT-FKSAF) tab of the purchase order refelects completed(C)  but if i look at the table FPLT it shows A ( Not yet processed ) . I am querying FPLT table for an report
Can you please advice me why there is inconsistency in the  table data ?
Thanks
Auro

Hi Auro,
Please check notes:
   456398     Invoicing plan: Status 'C' for not settled date
   175516     Update of database table FPLT
The system determinates the state of an line item of an invoicing plan
dynamically when you process the plan over a transaction (for example
ME21N, MRIS).
When you use the invoicing plan, the values are determined dynamically
from the purchase order history. Database table FPLT is not updated. As
a consequence, different entries can occur in field FKSAF in table FPLT
and in the purchase order. The content of this field is only filled by
chance in the database table depending on the transaction/event from
which the invoicing plan is stored (changing, creating ...)
The consequence of that behaviour is that you cannot use the field
billing status (FPLT-FKSAF) for other reporting and analysis function.
Hope this helps.
Kindest regards,
Adam.
