Use:
The system prevents the data in certain fields of a posted document from being changed . Examples are - the posting
amount, account number, posting key, fiscal year and tax amount . Because account information fields and balances
are updated on posting, these fields cannot be changed .Changing the data in these fields would entail a
manipulation of the figures, with the result being it would no longer be possible to reconcile the documents and
accounts .Some fields are changeable in a posted document .Whether or not data can be change in changeable fields
depend on the following factors:

The document changing rules defined by your system administrator

Which other SAP applications, such as CO or MM, you have installed

How the application is configured

Jayanth Maydipalle

The change document functionality may also be used to release down payments for payment by changing the Payment
Block field .By cancelling the block indicator, down payments will automatically be released and cleared each time
the payment program is run .The paying program clears by subtracting the down payment amount from the
corresponding invoice amounts and paying the difference.

Transfer

When generating accounting documents from

recurring entry original documents in foreign
currencies, usually only the currency fields are
adopted .The local currency is calculated then
according to the valid exchange rate at that time
.If you want to generate documents using the
historical rate, you need to set the
corresponding indicator . This ensures that even
local currency amounts will be adopted in the
new accounting documents.

Select if appropriate.

This indicator may also be useful

for postings made in local currency,
if more than one local currency is
recorded or additional currencies
are used in the special purpose
ledger .If this indicator exists in
local currency documents, the
system transfers the value date in
the document header . This means
that additional currencies are
translated at historical rates.

Generally, only the currency fields are

transferred when creating accounting
documents from recurring entry original
documents in foreign currency, and the local
currency is predetermined according to the rate
valid then .If, however, you want to transfer the
tax amounts with the "historical rate", then you
should set this indicator.

Select if appropriate.

When setting this indicator, also

note the customizing of the
company code in which this
document is to be created .It can
make sense, for example, to
transfer the local currency amounts
of the normal line items from the
recurring entry original document,
yet not the tax amounts, in the case
of company codes which propose a
