"T-Code" - ACACDATATRANS - Transfer Vendor Invoices to Accruals Engine

[Former Member]

Dear All,

My Company is considering implementing the accruals engine. To my knowledge the accruals engine does NOT have the functionality to to pay vendor invoices. In particular we are looking to see if it's possible to do Automatic Vendor Prepayments" via the ACCRUALS ENGINE.

I was about to give up when I came across this T-Code:

"ACACDATATRANS" - Transfer of Vendor Invoices to the Accruals Engine (AE).

Would any one be kind enough to post/email me further information on this transaction. Can this transaction be used to:

> Transfer Invoices to the (AE)

> Automatically Pay the Invoices

> And/Or - Automatically - Prepay the invoice (pre-payments)

I would greatly appreciate any assistance in this matter, and if anyone can provide me with further insight/details to the <b>ACACDATATRANS</b> transaction (links to notes & guides to the above transaction would be greatly appreciated).

Thanks again

Kind Regards

RICK.

Hello RIck

I am not an expert in this matters but I have found the following information that may be useful:

"The report your are trying to use to create accrual objects from vendor invoices is only an example report which should be used as a template for your own. So if you want to use the possibility to create accrual objects automatically from vendor invoices you would have to develop your own selection method with the delivered example function module as template. In transaction ACACDATATRANS you will also find detailed information about it (please read program ACAC_DATA_TRANSFER_EXAMPLE documentation in SE38). But you can also find detailed information about automatic data feed into the accrual engine in the detailed presentation about the accrual engine beginning with slide 79 which you can find via link in the note 633924."

I have found also this information:

"There is only the possibility to link the invoice to the accrual engine document (and so indirect with the FI-document). Therefore you can use transaction 'ACACDATATRANS' with the according selections

methods. Afterwards you have an automatically created accrualobject

from your invoice and if you now double click the object number in

the reference date you navigate to the invoice."

Sorry I cannot be of further help.

Regards

Javier

By executing transaction SM30 for view V_TACE_TRNSFTYPE, you may influence selection method with your custom code, thus populating fields at your own will
