Uploading previous year open items

[Former Member]

Dear all,

The project is about to golive 1st of may and i want to upload the open items for vendors, some the open items are dated 01.01.08. Do I upload using the 2008 date and if i do, will i have to run end of year for 2008.

Thanks

Hii felicia,

For all the open items upload, the posting date is data migration data i.e. in your case its 30.04.2009.

So, for all the open items posting date in legacy will be document date in SAP so you can enter 01.01.2008 in the document date field & posting date will be 30.04.2009.

In case if you get an error on dates then open the posting period for the earlier years respectively.

Thanks & Regards

Thanks, that solved the problem.

I also have open items relating to foreign currency. What should the translation date be as i'm supplying the rate prevailing at the time the transaction took place.

Hi,

There is a configuration to make transalation date as document date instead of posting date.

I am not in front of the system currently

Once you have done the transaction, keep the setting back to translation date as posting date.

Hello,

The invoices may be of 2008 or even before.

Use document date 01.01.2008

Posting date will be today's date.

This is the normal approach followed for open items upload.

Ravi
