Symptom
- Goods receipt did not assign the analytical object of the purchase order (for example, cost center or WBS) to the GR/IR posting.
- After activating Organizational Flexibility in Financial Accounting (4PG), the assignment on GR/IR became correct for new postings.
- There is a need to update the analytical assignment for previously posted goods receipts.
- Reversing the postings is not possible because logistical periods are closed.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Post a goods receipt for a purchase order with an analytical assignment (for example, cost center or WBS) before activating 4PG.
- Check the GR/IR posting and observe that the analytical object is not assigned.
- Activate Organizational Flexibility in Financial Accounting (4PG) and post a new goods receipt.
- Check the GR/IR posting for the new receipt and observe that the analytical object is assigned correctly.
- Attempt to correct the historical GR/IR postings without reversal; note that reversal is not possible due to closed logistical periods.
Resolution
- Note that changes to historical documents beyond the documented 4PG scenarios are not supported; there is no system-supported tool to retroactively update analytical assignments on past GR/IR postings when reversal/reposting is not possible due to closed periods.
- It is the current SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud behaviour.
- If an enhancement is needed, refer to: Customer Influence portal to submit an improvement request.
