Change Accounting document

Former Member — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 14:40:27 GMT

Hi All,

I have to update Amount in Accounting Document. Is there any BAPI or FM availabe for it?

One option is to reverse the accouting document and create a new one. But my requirement it to update the amount in the same accouting document.

Thanks,

Punit

AFAIK once the document has been posted i don't think you can change the amount. As mentioned you have to reverse the document & create a new one.

Reversal and reposting is the correct way.

I don't think any standard SAP functionality will allow you to modify the existing line items of a posted a/c'ing doc.

From the top of my mind, there is a concept of 'negative posting' in FI whereby you can post negative amounts. May be ask the functional consultant if you can post negative amounts on the respective accounts to balance the amount.

Your requirement seems poorly thought out.

Has anyone talked to your auditors to get their opinion. When a document is posted, there is generally supporing documentation. If you change the amount, that documentation cannot be counted upon to support the data.

If a document amount is changed, but the document had already been cleared, your accounting system will be a mess.

Ask the person who gave you the requirements to think the process through fully.
