Parked Documents

Document parking can be used 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. The amounts, account codes and the posting date may be changed before posting. However the document date cannot be changed.

The advantage of parking documents is that the data in the documents can be evaluated online for reporting purposes from the moment they are parked rather than having to wait until they have been completed and posted. Parked invoices can be blocked from future processing.
