FINANCE: Override Warning in Invoice Entry PO Costing

OPERATIONS: Auto Calculate Vendor Delivery Date

TECHNOLOGY: User Provisioning

Improves control over PO costing changes during invoice entry by replacing passive warnings with an intentional override action.

• In ACP500D3 (Invoice Entry PO Costing), users previously could unintentionally accept changes by pressing ENTER, even when quantity to cost or amount to cost values had changed.

• A new “F14 to Override” warning message replaces the old message:
  “Details have changed. Press enter again to accept data.”
  This ensures users acknowledge and confirm significant changes explicitly.

New System Parameter:

• “Apply GRN Costing Tolerance for PO Costing” (optional):

  • Within tolerance: Displays the original message —
    “Details have changed. Press enter again to accept data.”

  • Outside tolerance: Triggers the new override requirement —
    “F14 to Override”

Benefits:

• Enhances oversight and reduces unintentional cost acceptance.

• Enables better control of PO costs when invoice details differ from expectations.

This functionality allows you to copy the product structure of a customized item to a standard item.

Note: When a customized structure is copied to a standard structure, the Customized check box in the Items session (tcibd0501m000) is cleared.

Item Types:

• Standard Items: Identified by a regular item code.

• Segmented Items: Consist of a project code segment and an item base segment (i.e., the customized item’s item code). Segments are defined in the Item Code Segmentation session (tcibd0500m000).

Only components valid for the specified Effectivity Unit will be copied.

Copy Options:

• Target Routing Code
  Enter the code of the standard routing to which the customized structure should be copied.

• Copy Product Structure
  Choose whether to:

  • Copy the entire structure

  • Copy only the first level

  • Perform the copy interactively

• Reference Date
  Only parts of the product structure valid on this date will be copied.

• Copy E-Item Relationships
  If selected, related E-item records will be copied.

• Copy All Components and Effectivity Statements
  If selected, unit effectivity is copied to the standard structure. You can specify the unit.
  Exceptions related to routings and operations (that meet date effectivity) are also copied.

• Alternative Material
  If selected, alternative BOM components are included in the copy.

• Use-Up Material
  If selected, use-up materials from BOM components are included.
