 Parking of Documents Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You can use document parking to enter and store (park) incomplete documents in the SAP system without performing extensive entry checks. For more information, see Document Parking .

You - or other users - can subsequently add data to parked documents and check them before posting them.

Caution Caution

Documents that you have entered in classic General Ledger Accounting can only be processed further and posted in classic General Ledger Accounting.

End of the caution.

When documents are parked, the system does not update any data such as transaction figures. The only exception to this is in Cash Management (TR-CM) .

Nevertheless, data from parked documents can be used for current evaluations by the system. In this way, you can use amounts from parked invoices for the advance return for tax on sales and purchases. You can use payment requests to pay parked invoices on time and without any loss of cash discount.

Note Note

You can use the tax amounts determined on the basis of parked documents to apply to the tax authorities in advance for any tax receivables that are due to you. From the SAP Easy Access screen, choose   Accounting   Financial Accounting   General Ledger   Reporting   Tax Reports   General   Input Tax from Parked Documents   .

End of the note.

Integration

In contrast to document parking, the holding documents function is merely designed to allow you to interrupt your work on a document and temporarily save the data you have entered until you can resume posting. The system does not issue document numbers for documents that are held. Furthermore, you cannot use data entered in this way for evaluations.

Substitution is not supported in document parking. Substitution takes place via the posting transaction once you generate an accounting document from the parked document.
