2012354 - Modify the Accrual Method for a Large Amount of Sales Document Items

• For a large number of sales document items, an accrual method XYZ (for example, 102 - Recognize using cost-to-cost POC) is assigned.
• After reconsideration, it has been determined that the current accrual method is unsuitable, and a change to accrual method ABC (e.g., 101 - Reverse deferrals and accruals) should be implemented.
• Due to the amount of affected transactions, conducting a manual and single modification of the accrual method for each and every sales document item is not feasible.

Note: XYZ and ABC refers to two different accrual methods.
