Additional Information

In transaction VF06 in the Sales and Distribution menu under Start of the navigation path Billing Next navigation step Billing Document Background Processing End of the navigation path , you transfer parallel billing documents to Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA). The posting in FI-CA takes place in individual processing. Individual processing uses just one number range and one reconciliation key for the posting. To ensure this, the system sets database locks both on the number range table NRIV and on table DFKKSUMC for the reconciliation keys. During parallel processing, the database lock causes runtime problems.

If you set the Optimization Active indicator in Customizing:

The system assigns a separate number range to each process for the posting of documents in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.
Posting takes place as before using individual processing.
The system posts each process on a separate reconciliation key.
The system creates as many reconciliation keys as there are processes posting in parallel.

This results in an improved runtime.

Note Note

Make sure that you create a sufficient number of parallel number ranges for individual processing for the document types that you have entered for integration in posting area 1210. See Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Start of the navigation path Basic Functions Next navigation step Postings and Documents Document Maintain Document Assignments Document Types Maintain Document Types and Assign Number Ranges End of the navigation path .

You can then subsequently aggregate the reconciliation keys on the SAP Easy Access screen under Start of the navigation path Document Next navigation step Reconciliation Key End of the navigation path (transaction FPFAGG).

End of the note.
