Marking service entry Final with Zero Quantity

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to set "Final Entry indicator" with qty of zero,for an item for which the services are not performed . The system is giving an error message while trying to accept this line item and also the delivery completed indicator EKPO-ELIKZ is not set as complete.

Is there a work around ?

Thanks,

Veera

If you do not expect to receive this service anymore - why don't you delete it from the purchase order ?

Hope this helps,

Hi Isaac,

Thanks for your reply.

That is one option we have thouht about.

But in our case we are interfacing service entry sheet from a legacy application using a BAPI and we want the interface to handle these service line to be marked as not required anymore.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem.

The PO status is set as "not changeable", so we cannot cancel it.

Entering a zero-valued sheet prevents from further entry of services from the same order, but the order remains committed for the whole amount.

The only (apparent) way is to create en entry sheet, with "final" indicator, and a small value, then reverse the resulting postings. This is ok from the PO perspective, but is not appreciated by accountants.

I would like an opinion from SAP.

I have also posted a note to SAP and SAP had replied back saying that this is part of the statndard functionality . So We have decided to cancel the PO line item either manually or via the interface.

Thanks to you all for your quick and timely suggestions.

You have two options in this case,

1. When you receive last service and it is sure that you are not going to recieve any more service at that time you can put as final service (I am not sure this functionality is available during Service receipt)

2. You need to set this indicator (Completed indicator) manually/using interface in purchase order change mode.

Hope this helps.

Hi Arif,

Thanks for your response.

In our case there were no services provided for this item and we would want to mark it as complete.

Since this is service Item, the field "Delivery completed" is not shown on Purchase order for us to update it in the Purchase order.

Hello Veera,

In this case, you can think of using Function module BAPI_PO_CHANGE to flag mark Deletion indicator for that line item. This FM enables you to change purchase orders.The Change method uses the technology behind the online transaction ME22N.

Alternatively, the IDoc type PORDCH1 is available. The data from this IDoc populates the interface parameters of the function module BAPI_PO_CHANGE.

Please check out the documentation for this FM which explains in detail.

Hope this helps.
