Hello All,

This issue is related to Posting Period under Revenue Recognition Document.

I have taken below screenshot from SD flow with Revenue Recognition document. I want to know how this Year/Period column gets updated.

Current period is 2016/008 and System is showing 2017/003. What is this column meant?

Thanks in advance.

This is nothing but the month and year during which the revenue recognition should happen.  You can compare this field with BUDAT from VBREVE table and if this field is filled with some date, the month and year will tally with this which means, the revenue has recognized on that posting date.  On the other hand, if this BUDAT is blank, then you can conclude that revenue recognition has not happened and revenue determination status would be "A - Not yet processed".

Hello G. Lakshmipath,

Thanks for your update.

In table VBREVE -


BUDAT is 2016/08 and

BDJPOPER (Year/period) is 2017/03 (this looks issue)


How system can take future date? Is this just because of while executing VF44 --> Rev recognition we have put 2017/03?


I have reversed the document and re post the Rev Reco still system is taking 2017/03.

Hello,

  I guess the system is taking future date according to the revenue recognition period defined in your revenue recognition sales document document. What method are you using to define the revenue recongnitio period? A contract or a billing plan? Check the dates there.

The meaning of fields BUDAT and BDJPOPER is different:

- the former (BUDAT) is the posting date of the revenue recongnition document, and is filled only after postin VF44 transaction;

- the lattere (BDJPOPER) is the period the revenue is planned to be recognized, and is filled immediately once the Sales Document is saved;

So you can have BDJPOPER filled and BUDAT empty.

In you case I suppose BUDAT is 2016/08 because you posted on 2016/08 the revenue recongnition document for a record with revenue recongnition planned to happen in 2017/03.

Hello Andrea,

Billing plan is of 2015.

I have reversed the Rev Recognition document on 2017/03. While i am re-posting the document with VF44 system is not allowing me to post on 2016/08 it only allows on 2017/03.

Is their any setting
