Reversing Documents in FI

[Former Member]

The FB08 transaction reverses the documents in the FI but has a drawback that it takes into accout the exchange rate on the posting date of the original document and not on the reversal date.

However we required a functionality that post with the rate on reversal date.

I am developing a program which creates a new document with reference to another document which would be considered as reversal( eg 100 is original document and 101 new document is considered as reveresal document)

this is working fine.

however if the user tries to reverse 100 it is creating 102 and if he tries to reverse 101 it is creating 103.

How can i fix this issue.

I think you may have caused more problems than you have fixed by going this route. When you actually reverse a document, the reversal document is added to the header of the document being reversed and <i>vice versa</i> along with a reversal flag and reason and some other stuff. You cannot do any of that here. And short of removing FB08 from all of the users' profiles, I don't see how you can keep them from doing actual reversals.

I would re-think the process. What is wrong with the exchange rate being taken from the original posting date?

The problem in FB08 tcode is that it takes into account the exchange rate on which the document is posted but on which the document is reversed.

In my program i am not reversing the original document however creating a new document which would be considered as a reversed document to the original one.

Now the problem we are facing is that the orginal document can be reversed any number of times and the reversed document is also getting reversed.

How can i mark that these doc's are already reversed .

thank you.

That's my point - I don't think you can. Creating a document with reference is nothing like reversing it.

But you might raise an OSS message. They will probably tell you that it is not possible (my bet) or a consulting issue.

I am using ' Posting InterfaceDocument' FM using FBS1 to post new document which would be considered as reversal of original documents.

If i can use the same using FM in FB01 t-code part of my problem reversal of reversed document would be stopped.

However still we can reverse the original document any number of times.

Rob i got your point, so should convey the same you told to my BA

You might consider it reversed, but technically it is not. So yes, going to the business analyst should be your next step.

Is the Number range used for the Accounting document external ? If not,

then the Numbers for the Document are automatically generated by SAP using the Number range assigned to the Document type.

Please check the document type that is created by FB08 and the one used by you. Is it the same ?
