Recurring entries problem: what is the use of "running date" or "interval"

[former_member1107827]

Hi Im learning about the function of recurring entries in SAP ECC6

In simple, if I want to run an entry on the first day of every month, I :

1. FBD1 to create the recurring template with debit and credit entries

2. F.14 to post the recurring template to session

3. Every month first I go to SM35 to execute the session

So if we execute the session manually, why do we need to set the "running date" and "interval" in the recurring template?

Even I set 1-month interval, I still need to go to SM35 to execute it.

Scenario 2:

1. FBD1 to create the recurring template with debit and credit entries

2. I setup the batch job to run F.14 to post the session regularly.

So I set up "schedule date" in batch job setting, and "monthly" in "repeat option" of batch job setting. So it will run every month.

And then same as above, the "running date" and "interval" in the recurring template is useless?

Hi,

Thank you for visiting SAP Community to get answers to your questions. I am here to help you to get the most out of it.

First of all, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with https://community.sap.com/resources/questions-and-answers (if you haven't already), as it provides tips for preparing questions that draw responses from our members.

For example you :

• Can outline what steps you took to find answers (and why they weren't helpful)
• Can share screenshots of what you've seen/done
• Can use a descriptive subject line
• Should also make sure you're using all the appropriate tags, so the right experts can find your question

The more details you provide, the more likely it is that members will be able to assist you

Should you wish, you can revise your question by selecting Actions, then Edit (although once someone answers your question, you'll lose the ability to edit the question -- but if that happens, you can leave more details in a comment).

Hi

I think you need to look at the below blogs on how to schedule a batch job to post automatically without any manual intervention.
