3801275 - Asset Capitalization Date Set from Invoice Receipt Date Instead of Goods Receipt Date for Non-Valuated Purchase Orders – SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, when processing a non-valuated Purchase Order (PO) with a Goods Receipt (GR) followed by an Invoice Receipt (MIRO), the asset capitalization date is set from the Invoice Receipt posting date rather than the Goods Receipt date.

In other cases with non-valuated POs, the capitalization date is correctly set from the Goods Receipt date.

The behavior appears inconsistent: for some POs the capitalization date equals the GR date, while for others it equals the MIRO date.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Observe that the capitalization date for some assets is updated based on the goods receipt date.
2. Confirm that the related purchase orders are non-valuated.
3. Review the asset master record and verify whether the capitalization date equals the goods receipt date or the supplier invoice date.

This is standard system behavior and is working as designed.

The default asset value date for a posting involving a Goods Receipt is the GR posting date. However, when the Goods Receipt and the Invoice Receipt fall in different fiscal years, the system uses the Invoice Receipt posting date as the asset value date instead.

This is by design: the asset transaction posting date must always be in the same fiscal year as the document posting date. If the GR date belongs to a prior (closed) fiscal year and the invoice is posted in the current fiscal year, the system cannot post the asset transaction in the prior year and therefore uses the invoice posting date.

In cases where GR and MIRO are in the same fiscal year, the capitalization date is derived from the GR date as expected.

This behavior is documented in the SAP Help Portal under "Automatically Set Asset Value Date" for the transaction Invoice receipt with reference to purchase order: https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_CLOUD/3e5fcf2c768746049b5627bd5a42f720/9736dd51e2193946e10000000a44538d.html

No system defect. The behavior is by design.

To verify: compare the fiscal year of the GR posting date with the fiscal year of the MIRO posting date.

• • Same fiscal year → Capitalization date = GR posting date
  • Different fiscal year → Capitalization date = Invoice Receipt posting date
