Settlement

[Former Member]

Hi,

As a business we have a requirement to allow orders in a CLSD status to settle.

Any suggestions as to how we do this?

Do we a) Amend the business transactions allowed on status close or

b) Amend program of settlement to pick up CLSD status'

ANy help would be greatfully appreciated

By definition of CLSD in SAP is excluded from settlement, because it CLSD can only be set if the order is settled (or specifically closed with a balance)

I would not change settlement programs to pick them up.

CLSD provides efficency of month-end by making it possible for the system to not settle every order in the system.

for other help - why is there a requirement to settle CLSD status? have you previously changed the business transactions allowed?

CLSD is a statu require when you start to archive orders.

Our service orders used in PM are set to CLSD to allow easy key performance indictaor information to be extracted, however as we only settle at year end from these, the ones already set to CLSD are excluded from settlement. We would like to allow CLSD service orders to be picked up to allow both business process to work alongside each other.

It is never recommended to change standard SAP and I believe that is what you would have to do - so much is tied to the programming logic of CLSD. Unless someone knows of a user exit to make a modification, I would strongly recommend that you create a new status to use as you Key perfomance indicator. I do not know how to do that, but I've seen it explained in this forum - so others may be able to help you out.

Any other suggestions, from the crowd?
