closing activities w.r.t deliveries of year end

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

i have to do closing activities for the year end. I need some clarifications for the following questions:

1.

Open sales orders which are due for delivery within 31st March 2008, are need to be closed. but what about those open sales orders which are due for delivery in the April, may or later ....

what to do with these open sales orders??

2.

open deliveries are to be closed within 31st March, but again what to do with those open deliveries which are to be billed after march 31st.??

3.

Is it required to change the number ranges of the billing docs. and excise invoices. then how to do that. shall i create a new number range and assigned or is there any way where we define these number ranges yearly basis??

It will be very helpful if someone answers these queries and give some guidance what are the other things that i need to take care as a part of the closing activities for the year end from the SD point of view.

thanx in advance,

sourav

Let these Sales Orders be open. It is not a problem.

2.

If Delivery is created in March & supposed to be billed in April, it is a business call, but ideally not recommended. If Delivery is created, ideally it should be billed. However, if it is open delivery which is to be processed after 31st March, it can be left as open delivery.

3.

Is it required to change the number ranges of the billing docs. and excise invoices. then how to do that. shall i create a new number range and assigned or is there any way where we define these number ranges yearly basis??

Incase of Billing Document Number Range need not be changed. However, if Business follows the practice of changing number range, it will be required to be done. Number range for Excise has to be changed every year & the detailscan be provided by the business as to what number range to be maintained for Excise. Ensure that same number range is not maintained for Domestic & Export, else it may create issue while Excise Invoice cancellation.

Dear sourav

1) Let the open sale orders be as it is after 31st and there wont be any problem.

2) If goods issue is posted, then you need to invoice on or before 31st. It should not be carried for the next financial year. If for some reason, you will not be generating invoice, then in that case, please reverse the goods issue through VL09. No manufacturing company would be willing to carry forward their inventory value to next financial year. Also they would be more keen to boost their sales and unless they invoice, this is not possible.

3) Other than excise invoice number range, you can continue with existing settings. Of course, you need to ensure that sufficient number ranges are already assigned to the respective document types.
