Change posting status of SD invoice

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have certain SD invoices lying in status not posted to accouting and are appearing in the open invoices list. Is there any way we can stop them from appearing in the open invoice list?

I am looking at some way to change the posting status of these invoices.

PS - These are cancellation invoice documents and hence cancelling them (VF11) is no more an option for me.

- These invoices cannot be relased to accounting.

Hello Soumya,

if I understood well, you have billing documents not released to accounting. And you don't want to post them to accounting.

The posting status of the billing documents is in field VBRK-RFBSK.

There is not a standard way to change the field VBRK-RFBSK.

You should create your own program to change it.

The report ZZCORRFB in note 388327 is a good model.

It sets VBRK-RFBSK = 'C' if a billing document really has accounting document.

You could change it to adapt to your need.

Best regards,

Ivano.

Hi Soumya,

You cannot manipulate the posting status manually.

Firstly, I assume you do have the "Posting Block" checked for the Billing Type you are processing.

Secondly, using SAP standard, I suggest you run VFX3 to release the Billing to Accounting on daily basis so that this will not happen when you want to create an Invoice List later.

In the particular transaction code, you can also analyse any errors (if any) why the Invoice is not released to Accounting and correct it before releasing to Accounting. Reason being, usually it is not automatically released to Accounting when there is an error log in the document.

Thanks.

Hope this helps.
