Posting date change during workflow process - BUS2081 -urgent]

Hello,
opposite to what Carsten wrote we did have success by implementing note
87700. Maybe we are on a different patch level than Carsten which might
explain the difference in the result. We are on 4.6C, abap/basis support
pack 45 and HR support pack 79. Another explanation of the difference
might be that we are using different number range definitions. In my
installation we are using year-independent number ranges.
Before the note implementation both FIPP and BUS2081 workflow logs were
Not transferred to the new document in the new fiscal year.
Instead the FI application program as well as the MM application program
raised the events CREATED for the  new document in the new fiscal year as
well as DELETED for the old document in the previous fiscal year. This had
the consequense that a new workflow instance was created for the document
in the new fiscal year,   and a logically deletion of the workflow
instance of the old document in the previous fiscal year - if the workflow
implementation contained a wait step for event DELETED.
After installing note 87700, for both FIPP and BUS2081- these events are
no longer raised. The worflow log of the old document in the previous year
were assigned to the new document in the new fiscal year as well. The
result is that the workflow log can now be displayed  via both the old
document in the previous fiscal year (via FB03) and the new document in
the new fiscal year.
However, the systems handling of the assigned images seem to be different.
The image assignment link were rather transferred/moved from the old
document in the previous fiscal year to the new document in the new fiscal
year: This means the image assignment link of the old document is no
longer available in the assignment link table (TOA01 etc.) - there is only
an entry for the new document in the new fiscal year.  From a book keeping
point of view I guess this is not allowed that the linkage between the
original business document and the scanned document has been erased and
replaced by a linkage to another document number.
Best regards
Viveka

Hi, we ran into this problem last year (46c) and found that Note 87700
did not fix it completely.  Look at 549381 and 598018 (Support pkgs 38
and 45 respectively).  We also found that we had to give a bit more
authority to our Invoice Approvers to be able to delete an attached
image (done in background) via auth obj S_WFAR_OBJ.  We use IXOS to
manage our scanned invoices and since table TOA01 is your Archivelink
table which contains the document key (eg 520000..2003), it too needs to
be updated with the new document number that was created due to the new
year.

Hello Susan,
there is a note related to parked documents, N87700 and the tranferring
of workflow logs for documents transferred into a new fiscal year via
the change of posting date. This note is developed by the FI-team and is
related to "FIPP-documents".  We are implementing it right now (in 46C)
to see if it also works for the workflow log transfer of parked BUS2081
documents.. I'll write a new reply to this list after we've checked if
this note works for parked MM invoices as well.
 
 
Best regards
Viveka

Hi Swami,
 
You wouldn't have that OSS Note number that you mentioned, would you ?
Thanks in advance, Sue
