2591593 - Sales Order Item Not Considered by Revenue Recognition - How to Reset the Revenue Fully Recognized Indicator

Symptom

You observe that for a sales order item revenue or cost postings are not considered by the revenue recognition run. You notice that the item is already marked as Revenue fully recognized so that it will no longer be processed by the revenue recognition run.

Therefore, you are trying to reset the Revenue fully recognized indicator by  performing the revenue recognition again for the sales document. However, the indicator does not get automatically removed.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Cost and Revenue work center and the Sales Document Items view.
  2. Find Sales Order Items in question.
  3. Click the sub-tab Accounting Data. You see the indicator set in the Revenue Fully Recognized collumn. 
  4. Press Reassign and select Accrual Method. 
  5. Select a different accrual method that previously assigned.

The Revenue fully recognized indicator does not get removed.

Executing the Revenue recognition run for the item does not automatically remove the indicator either.

Cause

Once the Revenue fully Recognized indicator is set for a sales order item, it cannot be automatically removed by the revenue recognition run, even if there have been cost or revenue reducing/increasing postings created for the item.

Changing the accrual method does not clear the indicator either (unless you choose accrual method Continue to Defer).

Resolution

  1. Go to Cost and Revenue Work Center.
  2. Go to Sales Document Items View.
  3. Search for the sales order in question.
  4. Select the sales order line item.
  5. Click Reassign Accrual Method and change the accrual method to Continue to Defer. This is the only accrual method that will reset the Revenue Fully Recognized flag.
  6. Click Reassign Accrual method again and Assign an accrual method of your choice.

If you now execute the revenue recognition run, all additional postings on the sales order item will be considered.
