Accruals for Deliv. Compl. Purchase Order items

[meisenberger]

Hello,

I have two questions according Purchase Order accruals engine in SAP S/4 HANA Cloud:

I scheduled an accrual proposal for September and afterwards we figured out that there are some PO items which need to be marked as "delivery completed". Now we have set the "delivery completed" in the Purchase Orders and observe that this changes the Premtr finish date to 02.08.2021 in the accrual proposal list. I assume this happens because there has been already a part delivery with a Goods receipt on 02.08.2021.

The status of the line item changes to red and we get the following information "Accrual subobject has the "Prematurely Finished" status effective on 02.08.2021."

However the accrual amount is still the full amount of the Purchase Order item. We would expect that this amount changes to 0 EUR.

My questions are now:

• How should we further proceed with this line items? Can we ignore it?
• Will there be postings for the red line items when we schedule the Periodic Posting Run?

I know that the purchase order items which valuated by Goods Receipt and marked as "Deliv. Compl." are not accrual relevant however it is not 100% clear to us how the system processes this items when the Deliv. Compl. has been set after the accrual proposal has been created.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

regarding posting logic with regard to status "Prematurely Finished" (for Purchase Orders) in Accrual Engine, kindly review document Purchase Order Accruals - Deep Dive, particularly pages 52 and 56, I believe it should answer your questions.
