ICR: is it possible to include parked documents

[_ptrkbrgstrm_]

Hi all,

When running transaction FBICR3 in an ERP SAP_FIN (730-4) migrated system - would it be possible to also include parked documents in the assignment of open items? For now we can have many open items in one company code (e.g. sent invoices) that could meet parked documents (received invoices that are currently awaiting approval and posting) in the other company code, but since the parked documents are not included the respective open items appear under Unassigned Data Records.

Kind regards

Hello Patrik,

There is no standard functionality to include parked documents.

You could implement the logic via BADIs - but you should be careful. Parked documents are not included in account balances. The account balances are ultimately used for creating your financial statements and are sent to you consolidation solution. If you were to include parked documents, you might end up with zero differences in ICR but large differences in eliminations.

Basically ICR is just something you can put any data into and it will try to work with it. Whether what you put in there makes sense in your business process depends on your requirements.

I think the better way to deal with the situation you are describing above is to find a way to mark the open item in ICR with a status (e.g. processing status "Partner document awaiting approval"). You could then filter on this status as part of your closing process and post an accrual for the open balance of such items to reduce the differences to be eliminated in consolidation.

Best regards,

Ralph
