Why AEDAT field is empty in EKKN Table.

[Former Member]

Hi !

Can please tell, why the AEDAT field is empty for some of the purchase documents in EKKN table.

I can see the aedat in EKKO .

Why some documents have not AEDAT value field populated in EKKN whereas other Purchase documents have value for AEDAT ?

Thanks,

Ajay

Hi,

Basically EKKN is the table which shows the item level details like Account Assignment in Purchasing Document and EKKO is the table which tells about the header information of the purchasing document.

As document creation date does not refer to header information the table EKKN would not shown up the creation date.This may be one of the possible reason.

Hi

I think if there are multiple line items on the PO EKKN doesnt show the date and if it is only 1 line it shows the date - this is something I could find peculiar. Can you please check this one and confirm.

Thanks

hi Ajay,

> In the case of an initialization or change, the transmission date is updated with a key in the field AEDAT. This date is used as a trigger for the change analysis. Which means that if the Purchasing document is liable to any change this field will be seen otherwise it will not....

Hope it helps....

Hi Priyanka,

Thanks. You mean that if purchase document is to be changed , the field AEDAT will have value, otherwise not ?

Please let me know.

Thanks

Ajay
