Edit Requests
Application component: Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable
App type: SAP GUI
Description:  With a request you can park the posting data for an individual document.
Key features: Creating, Changing, Displaying Requests You create requests using the transaction Edit Request (transaction FKKORD1). On the upper part of the screen you enter the header data, on the lower part the items of the request. When you save a request, the system automatically checks the data for consistency. If you choose Request  Save Without Checking in the menu, you can circumvent these checks and enter incomplete requests in the system if you want to change and complete them later. Requests that are saved but not checked have the status Saved Incomplete and cannot be converted into FI-CA documents. In the transaction Edit Requests, you can also display, change, and reverse requests as well as display the documents created from a request. To do this enter the request number and choose one of the following pushbuttons: Pushbutton Function  Create Request  Create Request Using Template  Displaying Requests  Change Request  Delete Request  In the menu under Extras  Documents Created, you can display the FI-CA documents created from a request. For each change the system writes a change document. You can only change a request provided it has not been converted into an FI-CA document. Each time you confirm an entry and each time you save a request, event 6500 is processed. In this event, you can add to or overwrite the data for request items. To do so, enter your own installation-specific function module for event 6500 in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, under: Program Enhancements  Define Customer-Specific Function Modules. See the documentation for the function module FKK_SAMPLE_6500. If you choose Save Without Checking, the system does not process event 6500. You can use event 6503 to implement additional checks for the request header, request items, processing locks and for the due dates in standing requests. For more information, see the documentation for the function module FKK_SAMPLE_6503. You can enter requests with a tax code that contains several tax rates. The tax amount calculated and displayed in the request item is the total of the amounts for the individual tax rates. You can enter notes for requests. You can set payment, dunning, interest, and clearing locks for request items. However, for each request item and lock, you can only set one lock reason and one validity period. Creating Requests with a Special Period When you create a request, you can enter a special period in the header data. To make this possible, you have to explicitly activate the use of special periods in Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Basic Functions  Postings and Documents  Basic Settings  Maintain Central Settings for Posting by selecting the Special Period indicator. To be able to enter a special period, you also need authorization for activity 140 of authorization object F_KK_SOND. You can enter a default special period for the posting date in the SAP Easy Access screen under Settings  Current Settings  Special Periods  Specify Default Special Periods (transaction FPG0SP1). The system then proposes this special period automatically when you create a request. If you have the authorization mentioned, you can overwrite the default special period manually; or you can delete it, if you want to post without a special period. Following a change to the proposed posting date, the system automatically proposes the new default special period that results from the change (if you did not manually change the special period at the same time the posting date was changed). In this way, you can check if the entered posting date and special period are correct. Displaying Requests You can display requests using the transaction Display Document Created from Requests (transaction RFKKO1). The document created is also displayed for each request. You can select by request number, document date, and posting date. You can restrict the selection further if you only want to display requests with a specific request status. You can also display requests that have already been archived. The system displays this information in the ABAP List Viewer. There you can use the standard functions for processing lists. Creating Documents from Requests In the transaction Create Documents from Requests (FKKORDM), you can convert the existing requests in the system to FI-CA documents (see Creating Documents from Requests). If you create documents from the requests, the notes are transferred to the notes for the documents. Locks are also transferred to the documents when these are created. Printing Requests You can print individual requests. When you print a request, all header data and all request items are available with additional information about the business partners and contract accounts. Creation and printing takes place in events 0766 (Print Request) and 0767 (Create Request Printout).
