Hi SAP experts,
I am looking for an answer to the following question:
In our SAP system we want to make some changes in materials (like switch on/off batch management, switch on/off split valuation) that are already have been used in some of our purchase order items. We have to delete (temporarily) these purchase order items to make adjustments to the materials. The focus is on PO’s that are handled completely (delivered, invoiced, paid, GR=IR).
When we try to delete such purchase orders, we are confronted with the error message ‘FICUSTOM201: Deletion not possible: Goods receipt/invoice receipt not yet reversed’. It is possible to change the message type to W(arning) or I(nformation) or suppress the message.
In the additional text belonging to message FICUSTOM201 is stated: ‘Note that balancing problems between MM, FI, FM, the budgetary ledger, and SPL documents could occur if the deletion of purchase order items is allowed’.
My question is: If we change the standard message type of message FICUSTOM201, how can we (easily) check that whether or not balancing problems have occurred if a purchase order item is deleted? Are there SAP transactions available to display the ‘unbalance’ (and are there SAP programs available to correct a potential unbalance’)?
Kind regards,
Niels
