Reproducing the Issue
Cause
There could be different time-based method defined for different accounting principal for RA key(for example, SPPC) setting or it could be a replacement rule for the recognition key (SSCUI 104054) maps SPPC to SPPC1 for a given accounting principle (e.g., IFRS), and SPPC1 and SPPC use different time-based methods in SSCUI 102530, which leads to differing recognition time methods across ledgers.
Resolution
- Open SSCUI 104054 (replacement rule for recognition key) and verify whether the RA key(e.g., SPPC) is replaced by another key(e.g., SPPC1) for the relevant accounting principle (for example, IFRS).
- Open SSCUI 102530 (Maintain Settings for Event-Based Revenue Recognition) and navigate to Recognition key > Company code and accounting principle.
- Compare the time-based method settings of the involved recognition keys (e.g., SPPC vs. SPPC1), such as “Financial periods, actual value date” versus “Calendar days of financial periods, actual value date.”
- Align the time-based method settings across the affected ledgers/principles to meet the desired recognition approach.
