You have the capability to configure the timestamp, which dictates the data records intended for export to SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing solutions. The SAP system exports records generated after the date and time specified in the timestamp to SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing solutions. Once you transmit the records based on this timestamp, the system automatically updates the timestamp to reflect the most recent time when you executed the specific export program.
You can configure the timestamp to export the data records for the following extracts:
- Advance Payment Remittance
- PO (Purchase Order) Close
- Remittance
- Send Invoice Status to P2P
If you do not configure a timestamp, SAP ERP sends all the available data records to SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing solutions.
