CJ88 settlement to cost center with postings in the past not enabled

[Former Member]

Hello,

I explain the issue.

We have WBS elements with postings from past year (Lets say from 11/2016).

When we try to settle those costs in CJ88 to the receiver (defined as cost cente), the system does nothing. After analysis, in CJ88, I was using posting period and year to do the settlement (So for example 11/2016) and it seems not acceptable for the system.

However when i tried to use current period and year to do the settlement, the setllement to cost center works well.

My question is the following: my client would like to use posting year and period as settlement year and period even if those are the past. Is it feasible?

Thanks for your feedbacks.

Hi Sanaa,

Check this OSS note and discuss implications with your accounting team before implementing this OSS note.

Check whether a cross-year settlement is actually required. Note 140672 describes the options for settling costs from previous years without modification.

SAP Note 424139 - Cross-year settlement.

Thanks,

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.

I see that the notes impact PO order settlement.

Does it impact settlement of WBS elements too as it is the last one that interested me?

Thanks!

Hi Sanaa,

This note will impact all cost objects, production order, Internal orders, WBS elements etc.you have to executing the settlement programs using SA38/SE38,regular transactions like KO88,CO88 or CJ88 doesn't work.

but you have to discuss with your client/users before implementing OSS note changes and implications.

Thanks,

Rau
