#COE #BA01 Supplier Invoice Workflow Posting Date change

Hello,

We're using flexible workflow for Supplier Invoices and wondering how others are handling invoices with posting dates in prior periods that are approved after that period is closed. This is a very common occurrence for us (particularly with invoices entered in the last few days of a month), and the system behavior we'd like to occur is that the posting date is adjusted automatically to the current period when approved and posted (basically Posting Date = Approval Date).

Is there a setting to make that change happen in the workflow? I do see there is a mass change of posting date app that can be run (also a background job), is that the only option?

Opening a closed period and restating financials cannot be the desired behavior for most companies and a similar requirement would exist in other areas like in the approval of general journal entries via workflow so I'm curious how SAP intends to their customers to address this in S/4HANA Cloud.

Thanks for your help,

Ryan
