Override update profile - Invoices / future dated PO

[Former Member]

Hi all experts,

Here is our scenario pertaining to SRM 7.0 - FM integration for creating future dated Purchase orders:

Update profile - 102

ECC 6, EHP4

SRM 7.0

Override update profile for value type 51 (purchase order) by delivery date

AVC not active (warnings only)

Our business wants to be able to create future dated (for next fiscal year) POs. By overriding the update profile for purchase orders as listed above, we are able to create future dated POs and the commitment is being created in the next fiscal year.

However, if there is a situation wherein the invoice is received sooner than anticipated in the current fiscal year, is there a way to make it consume budget in the same period as that of the future dated PO (in the next fiscal year). Can the override profile for invoice (value type 54) be used to satisfy this requirement? We already tried this, but it didnt work. Is there any other way to do this? Any Badis or user exits that you know of ?

We were hoping that since the invoice is being created from a future dated PO (in MIRO), we thought the budget consumption would also happen in the future FY based on the delivery date in the PO - but obviously, this is not happening.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Eli, Ming, Mar,

Can you please reply to the above query? We have a similar requirement. i.e., is there a way to post the invoice (based on a future dated PO) in the same FY / posting period as the date in the PO?

Please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi,

You may use the 'Due date' for value type 54, which would be determined based on the terms of payment specified in the invoice. In such case you may have terms of payment in the future too but having the same PO period wouldn't be ensured.

You could have also EXIT_SAPLFMFA_004 to determine a different FM update date.

However, looking into this from the 'legal Financial' perspective, I can't see the meaning of having an invoice posted in FM in a future date...

Let me know if this suits you

Kind regards

Mar

Hi,

I concur with Mar... Technically, this can be achieved, though there is no functional 'excuse' for this budget behaviour. It contradicts all known financial regulations...

Hi Mar and Eli,

We do not have period based encumbrance tracking. Can the user exit you suggested be used even if we dont have PBET activated?

Please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately no, the exit works with PBET only, same as FMOD
