Incorrect Posting date

Hi Gurus,
We have an accounting doc (vendor payment) that was created for the issued post dated check. Actual date written in the check was January 2015 and it was already released to the vendor for encashment on 2015.
However, the user incorrectly used posting date February 2014 in the payment document in SAP. It should be January 2015. Check information and clearing document were also posted in SAP as February 2014.
Kindly advise how can this be corrected this April as February book were closed already.
Thanks.

Dear Elli,
The standard R/3 system does not allow changes to the document date (BKPF-BLDAT) or posting date (BKPF-BUDAT) fields - even though it has been customized to allow changes via trans OB32 (Document Change Rules).
The reason behind this system design is to protect critical accounting document data and to avoid fiscal period close problems, e.g., audit control, out of balance situations.
If you wish to change the document / posting date fields, you must reverse the invoice document and repost it using the desired document / posting dates.
Best regards,
Vera Meizner

2lis_02_scl extract records with wrong posting date for Good Receipts.

Hi Experts,
We are currently having issue of mismatch between BW Schedule Line data with R/3 values for the Goods Receipts posting date updating incorrectly in to BW.
Example.
In table EKBE purchase order history we have following records.
MANDT EBELN        EBELP   ZEKKN VGABE GJAHR BELNR      BUZEI BEWTP BWART BUDAT      MENGE
501   5600453404   00010   00    1     2010 5012473031 0001 E     101   23.01.2010        1.250,000
501   5600453404   00010   00    1     2010 5012473031 0002 E     101   23.01.2010        1.250,000
501   5600453404   00010   00    1     2010 5012473031 0003 E     101   23.01.2010        1.250,000
501   5600453404   00010   00    1     2010 5012693310 0001 E     101   26.02.2010        1.250,000
Which means we have on posting date of 23.01.2010 1250*3 i.e. 3750 quantity of Goods Receipts.
However when we check the extractor we get multiple records in internal table C_T_DATA and in psa.

As can be seen we have record no 8 for ETENR (Schedule line 1) with posting date 26.02.2010 and another record with posting date 23.01.2010.
Since we are getting 2 records the record with incorrect posting date overwrites the record with correct one.
Any idea if this could be a standard extractor problem or any other way to resolve this issue.
Any help would be appreciated.

First of all, are you using a staging DSO? (You should ideally)
If yes, is it a Write Optimized DSO? (Again, this is ideal)
If its a standard DSO, the values maybe over-writing upon activation.
You have 3 records (quantity = 1250 * 3) that have been receipted on 23.01.2010, where Posting Date = 23.01.2010.
You also have a record (quantity = 1250 * 1) that has been receipted on 26.01.2010. Posting date = 26.01.2010.
Now, in RSA3 & in PSA you can see more records than intended.
This is because you have before & after images. (ROCANCEL = X or blank).
ROCANCEL = X --> Before Image (record before change)
ROCANCEL = blank --> After Image (record after change)
This is a standard property of the extractor.
Now, we also have something known as BWVORG (Process Keys). Each process, i.e. creating a PO, Goods Receipt, Invoice etc.. have different Process Keys.
Creation - 001
Goods Rcpt. - 002
Invoice - 003
We can see that record 8, i.e. BWVORG = 002 (GR) has been modified on 26.01.2010.
That is why there is before image and after image.
Which one should be the correct posting date? 23.01.2010?
Normally in a Write optimized DSO, you will have all the records (before and after images & others as well).
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if otherwise.

Incorrect Document Date in a Posted AP Invoice

We have an AP invoice that was posted with an incorrect Document Date. - 12/20/1011. The date is causing problems with exporting the results of an SQ01 Query Results to MS Excel. I have been told by SAP Support that the date canot be changed because "The reason behind this system design is to protect criticalaccounting document data and to avoid fiscal period close problems, e.g., audit control, out of balance situations" . Here are my Questions:
1) Why would the application alllow a document year of 1011 to be posted?
2) How does the document date impact the fiscal period close?
3) How can the date be changed? Reversing the document doesn't resolve the problem.
4) How do I prevent this from happening again?
Thank you for your replies.

Hi Mari,
Thanks for the reply.
I can understand the resason for not being able to change the Posting Date. But what are the reasons for not being able to change the Document Date? What is the fiscal reason for not being able to change the Document Date? Please provide an example. Reversing the document doesn't work in this case as the SQ01 report would still include the incorrect date.
Regards,
Gary

Post dates incorrect

The post dates in the SQL and PL/SQL forums are incorrect. New responses are not moving to the top. It looks like it got stuck on September 3rd. Let us see what happens in this forum. I am posting this at 05-Sep-2004, 1217 p.m. in California.

Fredrik,
I am curious how you found this message, in order to respond to it. Did you have to page through the whole forum to get to the oldest dates or is there some shortcut that I am not aware of, such as a way to view in reverse date order? The only way I was able to respond to your message was through the link provided in the e-mail, as a result of having selected the option to watch the topic.
Unfortunately, this forum is the only way that we have of notifying OTN of the problem and I figured any new message would just go to the bottom, where they will never see it. So, on Sunday, I sent an e-mail to Oracle sales, informing them of the problem, and asking them to forward the message, or provide an alternate method of contact. I have not received a reply yet, but Monday was a holiday, so they may have not even seen the message yet.

PRRW: Incorrect posting period (fixed posting date)

Hi,
¿Can anyone help me? I have problems when using transaction PRRW in order to transfer travel expenses to accounting. The issue is that for one company code the posting date is not of the same posting period as the travel. If I try to transfer all the travel expenses created in september, PRRW tries to use july posting period. Does anybody know how can I customize this? I don't know why it is always trying to post in july.
Thanks and Regards,
Ariana

In t.code PRFI under general trip data you define the posting date.
Hope this helps
Pls assign points as way to say thanks

Issue with the Posting Date of the Purchase Order.

Hi All,
There are fields in BW like SSL1: Time OK, SSL2: Qty OK, SSL3: Time & Qty Ok, SSL4: Days Late (Routines are written to calculate). These fields will indicate whether the delivery against a GR is OK or not with respect to Time, Quantity and the No. of Days..
But here the issue I am facing is
If there is only1 delivery/ GR against a single item the calculation in BW are correct - i.e. for a particular PO if there is only one delivery the above fields like SSL1: Time Ok, SSL2: Qty OK will show like the delivery is done within the specified time and everything is OK (in case if it is delivered within the allotted time)
But if there are multiple deliveries or multiple GR's posted for one PO item, the calculations are going wrong i.e. even if the delivery is done well within the specified time it is showing the wrong calculations like it is delievered too late. Because in this case the earlier dates are overwritten.
Can anyone throw me some light on how can I go about solving this issue.
I am thinking of declaring the Posting Date as the KeyField of the DSO as of now it is a Data field I also want to know the impact of assigning this as a Keyfield.
Thanks in advance,
Prasapbi

Hi,
As I understand, you have a DSO based on Purchase Order and your key field is PO and its line item. The problem as you stated will always be there if you have multiple deliveries/GRs created for a single line item because the system will overwrite the entries for same key.
Problem with adding Posting date as keyfield will be that then your key will be PO-PO Lineitem-Date. When PO will be created, the Posting date will be blank(correct me here if I am wrong), therefore you will have one entry for same PO-line item combination. One without date and other with date, which again would be incorrect. If my assumption about Posting date was wrong, even then your data may not be correct because then you may have many entries with same posting date which again would overwrite each other.
If there is any direct link between PO line item and number of deliveries that will get created for them, then you can bring that field in DSO as keyfield. But I don't think there is any such field.
Looking at your report requirement, I would suggest that you make a DSO based on Goods Receipts and then calculate these keyfigures by comparing the dates between GR posting date and PO line item date.
Else you can change the way your datasource works(if its generic one based on function module). Since your main requirement is to check whether the GR posting date has met your SLA or not, you should fetch all the details only when GR is created and make your key field as PO-PO Line item-GR

Asset value date and posting date are not in same fiscal year

Hi,
Our business user has created an asset under an incorrect asset class, which he is trying to transfer to a new asset whcih was created under correct asset class. However system is restricting user with the error message "Asset value date and posting date are not in same fiscal year". Can you please advise me how we can proceed further with this error.
Regards,
Asam.

Hi,
To transfer one asset to another asset within a company code can be done through ABUMN only.
While doing this transfer you have enter the document date, posting date, and value date for the transaction, but all these dates should be in same fiscal year only.
In your case you must have been entered the dates for asset value date and posting date , and these two dates are in diff financial years.
Please make sure that both the dates are in same FY.
Hope this will fix your issue.
Thanks,
Srinu

Change posting date on Reverse Entry for Payment

Scenario:
I entered an outgoing payment cheque run > printed cheques > posting date 31.05.09
Now i want to cancel this cheque run, so i voided the cheques.(under banking > ougoing payments > void checks for payment). I entered today as the posting date. This was incorrect. I should have entered posting date 31.05.09.
Can i now change the posting date to 31.05.09 on the reverse journal entry?

HI Maeve,
The intention is to transfer the balance to May 31. Then yes.
Had the 2 dates been in the same posting period (which I believe they are not) it could have been done in one posting.
In Document Settings -> Per Document -> Journal Entry -> untick 'Block Posting Date Editing per Row'.
Then by changing the posting date on the row you could have done it all in one JE. No big difference.
Thanks,
Jesper

FM posting date issue in extended classic

We are experiencing issue with SRM deriving incorrect posting period when PO changes are made. We are in extended classic scenario with two FM periods open across fiscal years.
PO changes “No further confirmation” and “No further Invoice” from “No” to “Yes”, changes to anything on Account assignment(Asset, GL account, fund etc).
Earlier when we were in Classic scenario, we had FMOD capability to post the FM documents in previous year and current year. Do we have similar functionality retained in extended classic?

Hello Ratnakar,
could you please check below OSS note:
1981805 - Document Date is always updated with FM Posting Date
You could also check for OSS notes dealing with PSM-GPR-POR application area.

Client Creates incorrect posting period

Good Day,
I have a client that wanted to create a new period for January 2012.
He however did it incorrectly, and set the sub-periods as year, and thus the posting dates, due dates and document dates have all been set from the 1 jan to the 31 dec 2012.
he has posted two purchase orders to this posting period and thus the period cannot be removed and the correct one added.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks
Regards
Dario

HI
Yes you right we can update Dates.
You can Locked This posting period and can make new posting period with Monthly sub-period .

Asset incorrect capitalization date

An asset is created with an incorrect capitalization date with date feb 2007. now they found out the cap date should be 12/01/2007, so the asset is posted with addl depreciation for 10 months . how to credit depreciation
What is the ideal way to correct it.
Fyi..2007 is already closed.
Any clarification is appreciated.
Thank you

Thanks for your response..I realize I just have to write up depreciation using ABZU, but do I need to make any changes to the asset master to the depreciation start date
Also when I use ABZU/ ttype 700 to writeup does it recalculate depreciation.
Thank you

Stock on posting date with storagelocation,batch and stock types informatio

Hi,
I'm needing a report (similar funtion of MB5B) which must reveal the stock postion (closing balance) of the materials on a particular date alongwith storage loactions, batches and stocktypes (Unres/Q/Blkd).As such MB5B either gives the output either by storage location or by batch, not the combination of both.
Else provide any possibilty means( Database tables) from where i could arrive these mention outputs.
I could be able to get the information by collecting the values from MKPF & MSEG tables. But this information only suffice the material movements carried on that particular date.. And i will be not having the closing balance as a whole.
I even wonder to get any such a kind of information in which i could able to get the stock with stock types(Unres/Q/Blkd).
Any light on this matter is highly appreciable.
Regards
Prasanna

Hi Amit Bakshi,
Thanks for the reply..
I executed the suggested program but i found the same kind of information aslike in MB5B..
The information all i'm looking is to get the closing balance of the given material with storagelocations, batches and stock types on a given posting date.
For eg.
On 15 / 03 / 2011
Material A
Batch       Slocation       Stock type               Closing balance Qty.
A1              S001               Unres.                             50
A1              S002               Unres                            120
B1              S001               Quality                             15
C1              S003               Blocked                            30
In MB5B i could able to get the values of closing balance either Storage location level or by batch level but is it possible to get the combination of both along with stock types?

dear sir,
can i have the transaction code for stock on posting date GL wise.
IN MB5B THERE IN NO FIELD WITH GL AND IN MB5B THERE IS NO POSTING DATE

Hi,
There is a posting date in MB5B !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The whole point of MB5B is to give you the stock on a posting date.
The field is called "Selection date".

MB5B stock on posting date

Hi experts,
For a material XX which was zero stock on 15/11/2008.Goods receipt(MIGO 101) done on 15/11/2008 of qty 100kg. So stock was 100kg. I have issued material XX of qty 75 kg to cost center and entered posting date 3/11/2008. My system allowing me to issue that material on 3/11/2008 without any warning or error msg. But at that there was no stock. So that if i check the report MB5B stock on posting date my closing stock showing in negative for 3/11/2008. Our requirement is how to stop this back dated posting? System should not allow me if i am posting on back date?
Thank you
SAP

hi Rehan,
I have checked all settings also enhancement but there is no as such control to restrict backposting within current period
I think its self disipline action not to post backdated GI when GR is done on later date
