Hi,

Thanks a lot !, Before i close this thread please little more into this..

For example i already created billing document with back date ( 31/05/2008) but not posted to accounting. But now i would like to post the same on (10/06/2008). Is it possible for this...

Dear sankar

Yes certainly and in fact, the posting date of the invoice will be 10/06 only.

In many companies, finance people will consider the date on which the invoice is released to FI (will consider only the posting date as actual sales)

Hi,

thanks, U mean for goods issue if MM peroiod is not open we can't be able to do goods issue with back date..

For billing, Even if posting peroid is closed but still we can do posting for billing with back date ...

Am i right ? if not please clear me little more..

Dear sankar

Yes u r right !!!!!

Let me explain with an example

Let us assume you are trying to post goods issue on 10/06 for 31/05 and if MM period is closed, system [will not allow] to post goods issue. However, while generating billing via VF01, if you manually input 31/05, system [will permit] and you can save the document with billing date as 31/05.

Dear sankar

Unless the MM period is open, you cannot do PGI in previous period. But in VF01, if you input manually previous period, it will accept and you can generate invoice with back date.

If you want to restrict, you can do so with user exit USEREXIT_NUMBER_RANGE_INV_DATE (Module pool SAPLV60A, program
