Table update program suggested by sap, where table not updated in sap while posting transactions



We had a call with SAP yesterday regarding subject issue, following are the MOM of discussion –

1.       SAP has not able to trace the exact root cause of the issue, also this is an rare case where BSEG table wont update the clearing information and also this issue cannot be re-generated again in any environment so SAP failed to find out the exact reason for the same.
2.       SAP has suggested for table update for which they need our permission, following process SAP will follow for table update-
a.       SAP will run the program ‘RFVD_CHK_CHANGE_CLEARING’ in Production for updating the BSEG table with clearing document information. In this program SAP will do the linkage of Customer Invoice document number (which has no clearing information updated in BSEG table) with the relevant clearing document number. In selection parameter of the program, SAP will give both Customer invoice number & Clearing document number, year, line item & clearing date and do the update run which will post the clearing information in BSEG table against the Customer invoice number for which clearing information is missing. This activity will be done one by one for all the customer invoice documents which has missing clearing information in BSEG table.
b.      As this activity will only update the BSEG table with clearing information, so as confirmed by SAP there will not be any down time require in Production to carried out this activity and also there will not be any implication on any other transaction, SAP tables as well as SAP standard reports while performing this activity.

c.       To do this activity SAP has require our approval for go-ahead for table update in Production and needed some T.codes authorization.
