Symptom
A revenue recognition run has been created in Update mode. Later the goal is to reverse or delete the run, for example due to the application of incorrect selection criteria.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Cost and Revenue work center.
- Go to the Periodic Tasks view.
- Click Revenue Recognition subview.
- Select the Revenue Recognition XYZ (XYZ means the Revenue Recognition ID).
- Notice that Delete button is grayed out and there's no option to reverse the run.
Cause
The system is behaving as designed. A revenue recognition run can only be deleted if performed in Test mode. Deletion of revenue recognition runs in Update mode is not an option.
No reverse button is available. The only option to reverse the previous revenue recognition is to run it again in update mode applying appropriate selection criteria.
Resolution
- Go to the Cost and Revenue work center.
- Go to the Sales Document Items view.
- Select All Sales Order Items in question for customer ABC (ABC means the Customer ID).
- Choose Reassign and then select Accrual Method.
- Choose accrual method 3-Continue to defer.
- Then go to the Periodic Tasks view and select the Revenue Recognition subview.
- Create a Revenue Recognition Run for the same period and for same sales order which was previous performed in Update mode.
Notice that the postings created in the previous run got reversed and are displayed as deferrals again.
Also the actual accrual method defined for sales order items can be changed back from 3-Continue to defer.
