Changing of Last Adjustment Dates (SAP Library - FI Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable)

Changing of Last Adjustment Dates

Use

You use this program to change the last adjustment date of specific G/L accounts. You may need to use this program in the following cases:

If you are using the Inflation Adjustment of G/L Accounts program for the first time midway through the fiscal year

For example, assume your fiscal year runs from January to December. In July, you import some general ledger account data from a legacy system. This data has already been adjusted, in the legacy system, up until the end of June.

If the system has processed incorrectly a batch input session with inflation adjustment documents and you need to reset some of the dates so that the G/L accounts can be adjusted again

You can also use the program to change the last adjustment date of specific line items, again, if the system processes a batch input session incorrectly.

Caution

Use this program with caution because when it changes the last inflation adjustment dates, the old dates cannot be recovered.

Features

To access the program, from the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting → Financial Accounting → General Ledger → Periodic Processing → Closing → Valuate → Change Last Adjustment Dates.

Selection

To change the last adjustment date of a G/L account, specify:

Which G/L accounts you want to adjust
The G/L accounts’ new last adjustment date

To change the last adjustment date of a line item, specify:

Which G/L account the line item has been posted to
Which accounting document contains the line item
