How to Trace the History of Deleted Parked Documents : Part – I

This document explains the posting of a parked document, how to trace the history of deleted parked documents in SAP and number of ways to trace the history of deleted parked documents in a step by step manner. Even a beginner to SAP can easily understand this concept. All the possible ways have been discussed below with the help of an example. (A & B parts are meant for beginners of SAP as like me who doesn’t have proper idea on this concept)

A. Basics

A.1. Parked Document: – You can park invoices or credit memos. This means that you enter the invoice data or credit memo data in the system and save it in a document, but the system does not post this invoice initially. You can use document parking to enter and store (park) incomplete documents in the SAP System without carrying out extensive entry checks. Parked documents can be completed, checked and then posted at a later date – if necessary by a different data entry clerk.

A.2. Advantages of posting a parked document: – The advantage of parking documents is that you can evaluate the data in the documents online for reporting purposes from the moment they are parked, rather than having to wait until they have been completed and posted. For example, amounts from parked invoices can be used for the advance return for tax on sales and purchases. Using payment requests, parked invoices can be paid punctually and without loss of discount.

B. Pre- requisites to trace the deleted parked document

B.1. Post one Parked document: – You can park invoices (FB60/ FV60) or credit memos (FB65 /FV65) as follows.

1. From the Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable or General Ledger menu, choose Document Entry Park Invoice/ Park Credit Memo.

2. Enter the document header and line item data.

3. To save the parked document, Choose Document → Park or press the Park I con Park.JPGor Press F8.

You receive a message with the document number. These document numbers are assigned in the same way as the standard posted document entry function.

E.g.:- I am posting one parked vendor invoice through FB60. And later I have deleted this parked document through FBV2.

FB60:- Post Vendor Invoice

B.2. Delete posted parked document:-

You can delete a parked document as follows:

1. From the Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable or General Ledger menu, choose

Document Parked documents Post/Delete.

2. If you know the document number, please inputs the company code, document number and fiscal year details and press ENTER.

If you do not know the document number, or if you want to delete more than one document, then go to Document choose List. You can access the same tab by clicking the Document list I con 1.JPGor else press F5.On the next selection screen, enter the appropriate parameters i.e. document number, company code and fiscal year etc. After executing this screen then the system generates a list containing the documents that match these criteria.

3. Select the required document(s) and then choose Document Delete.

You cannot reuse the number of a document that was deleted. Just go to FBV2 or FBV0 in order to delete the parked document

Please enter the following fields mandatorily as given below.

     1. Company code: – The Company code is an organizational unit within financial accounting. Independent accounting unit; in most cases is a legal entity. You can prepare a balance sheet and income statement for each company code. Several company codes can be set up to manage the accounts of independent companies simultaneously.

     2. Document Number:- The document number is a key the system uses to access the accounting document. This document number is unique per company code and fiscal year. When entering an accounting document, you can specify the number either manually or it can be determined the system from a pre-defined area i.e. number ranges. The relevant area of the document numbers i.e. number range is determined in each company code per document type.

     3. Fiscal Year: – The fiscal period for which this transaction is relevant.
