3654896 - No Accrual Posting Generated for Purchase Order with Invoicing Plan in Period-End Accrual Jobs

When scheduling the accrual job Post Accruals of Purchase Orders for a purchase order with an invoicing plan, no accrual postings are created. The expectation is that accruals (e.g. €100 per month) should be automatically generated based on the invoicing plan schedule, even though no goods receipt or invoice has been posted. 

SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud

In SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, the accrual engine does not interpret invoicing plan values as a financial basis for accrual calculation. Invoicing plans only provide due dates, not planned costs. Without a recognized basis amount, no accruals are generated.

The accrual engine typically derives planned costs from:

• A delivery schedule maintained in the purchase order (with dates and quantities), or

• The net PO value distributed over the defined delivery or service period (depending on item type and configuration).

To enable accruals without invoice or goods receipt postings, maintain a delivery schedule in the purchase order. This allows the accrual engine to calculate periodic accrual amounts automatically.

Note that invoicing plans are not supported as a basis for accruals in the standard system. As a workaround, the invoicing plan can be mirrored using a delivery schedule in the PO, so that accruals are triggered correctly. If accruals based directly on the invoicing plan are required, this is not supported as standard functionality.
