Hi, my question is about an OSS note; 495160. I searched for other hits on this, and the problem, and didn't find much in the SCN so far.
Problem:
I am trying to find a solution to the issue where the posting date for parked documents is currently trying to post to the day that the document was originally parked.
This is causing issues for prepaid inventory as documents might be parked and then not posted for 3 months. Since SAP only allows 2 periods to be open, it gives an error that says invalid posting period when you try to post a prepaid invoice that was parked and the period that it was parked in is now closed. Ex. Parked the prepay document and made the payment 6/30/2013. If the product arrives on 8/01/2013 and we try to post the parked document on 8/01/2013, the error will say that it can't post because June period is no longer open.
Researched possible OSS note:
I have researched how to change the posting date of parked documents (invoices) and we have OSS note 495160 identified. This note seems to shed light on the function called, and in high-level terms talks of inserting a new custom function module.
Question:
The note appears to be incomplete, however, in the specifics of what code should go in the new Function Module and where exactlyin the parent FM, it should be inserted.
In addition, some internet lookups have shown that it may be possible to leverage the method SET_POSTING_DATE in BAdI WRF_PREPAY_INVOICE to change the posting date.
Does anyone have more info on the specifics of what code needs to be inserted and where? Perhaps this OSS note is incomplete, or still in progress?
Thanks
Jeremy
