9999 document available to post/defer

[former_member222701]

Hello,

Came across a contract account while posting payment and it brings up a 9999 document available to post/defer, is this standard SAP?

I did some testing with some accounts and this is what I found:

When the account has only the 12/31/9999 doc open (not other open items).  The post deferral option ends with an error message: "Error occurred for selected activity, do you want to display step log?  (Business Proc ZDEFER2-Object does not exists).

When there are other open items besides the 12/31/9999 document, regardless if it is debit/credit, it prompts you with the post deferral screen.  And of course if you enter a deferral for 12/31/9999 document, you will get an informational message stating the following: Deferral date must be after due date 12/31/9999.

Is there something in SAP configuration/development to find out if there is a setting that can be changed to gray-out the 12/31/9999 document?

Hi Valentina,

You can place a payment lock against the document level for the particular document.

Once done, it will not be picked for deferral with other items.

Hope it helps

Thanks,

Hello Amian,

The actual issue is when we are trying to create a deferral for an account the document number with the due date 12/31999 still pops-up and it allows us to post a deferral date and save and then we get the error message mentioned above.

Since we have to meet a quota with time and customers, we need to remove all the unnecessary steps to complete our job faster.  Is there anything in configuration/development to grey out the document with due date 12/31/9999 at the deferral level or is this standard SAP?

Hi Valentina,

To start with, Under which process are the due date of the Documents set to 12/31/9999?

Have you done any customization to set the Due date of certain document transactions to 12/31/9999.

Are you using any custom transaction to set the deferral date or you are setting it through FPE2/FPE2M.

So, if you don't want to set the deferral date for the transactions having due date as 12/31/9999, then you can do an enhancement in event 1106.

Check the sample FM, ISU_SAMPLE_1106 for more info.

Hope it helps..

Thanks,

Amlan
