Assignment Field - Accounting Document

Question

Hi,
The Accounting Documents generated from the Invoicing thru SD module, contain the reverse of the date in the "Assignment Field". The users now want this field to be used for putting the PO nos. Thus after creating the Invoice, in the accounting document generated, the users will be putting the PO No. manually. However, it is also desired by users to put in the PO nos. in the old accounting documents that have already been generated and are there in the systems. Is there a way by which the PO nos. can be automatically uploaded or can there be a mass change of the Assignment Feild?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Answer 1

From my experience this usually depends on the SD copying controls in
VTFA, where we assign at the header level the Target Bill type with the Source Sales Doc Type.
Then specifying the copying req as = 001, Assignment number = A( which is the manual customer PO in the Sales Order entry VA01). Reference Number = E ( Actual invoice no.) where our invoice number <> accounting number.
And also repeat  the same in VTFL, where we assign at the header level the Target Bill type with the Source Delivery Type.
For upload we would need to use LSMW by choosing FB02 to update these fields.
If these fields are constant values then can choose to use FBL5N function for Mass change.
