Localization for Argentina
We bill a sales order and it determines the Argentina Oficial document number automatically .(ej: 00000021 )., and then passes that info to the accounting interfase with the same document number.(ej: 00000021 ).
If a problem arises, and the logistics billing document does not pass over to accounting, the generated official document number still remains as used.
Then, next sales order billing will use following number 00000022 for both, logistic and accounting documents.
As per Logistics view, you have a correct sequence 00000020, 0021, 0022, etc.
As per accounting view you have only documents 00000020 and 00000022.
And that is not allowed by Argentinian laws.
Did anyone have faced the same problem?
How can I do to avoid an official number usage by a logistics document not transferred to accounting?
Many thanks
Daniel,
The questions are
- are you OK that your invoices have not passed to accounting ? I believe all invoices which are relevant for posting to accouting should be posted eventually... so it may not be a problem at all.
- I believe there were OSS notes to provide the option to FORCE official number assignment to even invoices with 0 value which are not posted to accounting ... so it looks like some customers requested assignment even in this case.
- I think the assignment settings are defined in T003_I table (if you are on 4.6C and higher).

Hi, Siarhei
The invoices may not pass to accounting if you have troubles, as for example, with account determination.
Usually, the invoices may be corrected and passed over again with no troubles.
But, in the case you decide to cancel the invoice, the official number remains valid for that deleted invoice... only in logistics.
For accounting, you have never posted that logistics document, and that oficial number is missed in your balance sheet.
Perhaps the solution deals more with procedures, than with customizing, and we should avoid cancelling invoices not passed to accounting.
Thanks for your comments
I know that this is a very old thread, but I am facing the same issue in our 6.0 environment. Everything else is working as it should, but the issue arises when there is no FI doc generated for the Invoice and the ODN is still consumed.
Was this ever solved?
Thanks so much!

I have not faced issue in the particular area but in some customised development where we need the numbers to be in sequence....The solution surely depends on the usage of the logistics usage of the particular number ..I would suggest to assign a temporary number during the logistics process while the final number is assigned on passing the document to accounting. It could be further simplified by using different starting numbers...example in logicstics you can use the number 90000021 while in accounting the corresponding number is 00000021. Surely you can replace the 9 with 0 on passing the document to accounts (if required)
OR
Another way is to have a Ztable to store the corresponding numbers in logicstics and accounts...so you can surely maintain the sequence.

Thank you for your prompt answer, Anurag.
I am actually dealing with this problem, not for the document numbers itself (VBRK-VBELN and BKPF-BELNR), but for official document numbers, which are not the same.
Argentina Localizing standard programs, ADD official document numbers to the field "reference number" in both, billing and accounting documents.(VBRK-XBLNR and BKPF-XBLNR)
The problem is that this "official document number" is being generated at invoice level, no matter if it passes to accounting or not.
If it pass to accounting, the number is transferred as is.
If not, it then is missing in acounting.
Perhaps someone familiarized with Argentina Localizing knows hot to solve this.
I am confident that it should be some standard setting setting that i didn't take in mind, since there are not any SAP NOTES for this problem, and many installations in Argentina are going on without problems.
I appreciate you answer.
Though I am not aware Argentina localized standard programs but given your problem ..there might be config change which could resolve the below issue.
But if not, just a thought is it not possible to modify the user exit for invoice document and initialise the number if the document is not passed to accounting. I am not sure whether it is possible or not.It might be possible that you have already thought about the above as a solution. In that case you can ignore the message.
Regards
Anurag
