Account segmentation - singl G/L problem

Hi All
I am using account segmentation. Now in G/L account determination down payment clearing account I can mention only one account and the same account should appear in business partner account. Now if I am having different G/L for different branches, regions etc. How should I tackle this situation. Is project wise accounting a better way or segmentation.

Hi Richa Malik
In cases like this i do not fill in the account in G/L Acc Determination. Then each BP that you create it will be blank. But i then say that becomes the users responsibility to add the gl acc on creation of the bp. If they don't add the gl when doing the bp it gives an error when using down payment, they will learn FAST!!
I know this is not the best solution, but it's the only one.
Hope this helps

  • Problems with Natural Account segment while creating new SOB

    Hello everybody,
    I am testing a new GL SOB implementation in our test Instance. Below are the steps I followed.
    1)Created a new calender with 12 periods.
    2)Enabled Curriencies.
    3)Created a New AFF Structure with 4 segments.
    5)Created Value sets for those 4 segments and.
    6)Assigned Value sets to the Segments.
    7)Created LOV for the Value sets for the segments.
    8)Assigned Flexfield Qualifiers for the segments.
    segment1-Balance, SEG2-Natural Account, SEG3-Cost Center Accout &SEG-4 NO qualifier.
    9)Saved, Froze and Compiled the AFF Structure.
    10)Navigated to SETUP, FINANCIALS, BOOKS & DEFINE to create a new SOB.
    11)After entering all the details including Calender, COA, Currencies in the Closing Tab when entering the Account details for Retained Earnings, the AFF takes all the values for all the segments except for segment-2 which has been qualified as a Natural segment.
    12) I repeated the process by creating a new COA and it wont take the segment values which has been qualified as Natural Account. It gives me an error saying that No Entries Found For List Of Values and I double checked the Value List and Values and they are there.
    What am I doing wrong? I badly need some input here.
    Thank you.

    Hi
    1. How many values you have defined in Natural Account Segment Values.
    2. Could you please check while defining the Values there is check box called
    enabled. Have to checked it. Normally it is checked by default.

  • How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values?

    How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values? I'm using the Integrator named "Projects - Transaction Import" and a custom Layout created based on the seeded Layout named "Transaction Import - Accounted". Do I need to somehow change my Layout to make the Document accept numerical values instead of requiring alpha-numeric values? I need to be able to populate the Document with a large amount of transactions and cannot feasibly go through every transaction to add the alpha-valued name of the account segment to every segment that requires it. The segments in particular causing the problem are "Expnd Type" and "Organization Name" which are both alpha-numeric and as such contain the segment number and name; I need to be able to only have to enter the Natural Account Number (6-digit number only) and the Organization Number (5-digit number only).

  • Cost Centre and Account Segmentation

    Dear Experts,
    Our client's requirement is to take profitability branch wise, department wise. 
    Can we use Cost Center or we can enable account segmentation.  Which is the best way. 
    As per SAP notes, it is stated that account segmentation is used for branch wise, region wise, department wise arriving balance sheet, profitability.
    Which will be the appropriate way.  What is the advantage and disadvantages if we cost center or account segmentation.
    Thank You,
    Sundaram R

    Hi Senthil, this is what I have experienced.
    Segmentation may be mandatory in USA, for other countries they are optional.
    For some who are playing the role of accountant in the company, they find it hard to comprehend the segmentation rule. In which case it is best to convert their current single segment profit center oriented chart of account to map into SAP B1.
    Segmentation may be too complicated for smaller companies and one or two ware houses, mainly because to best use the segmentation, the accounts in G/L determination and warehouse determination and item determination need to be configured properly for segmented chart of account.  At times the customer will have to choose a segment for manual JE, and it is not that simple if they are not used to the idea of segments.
    There will be situations when certain segments do not make sense and yet you need to have them as zeros or something common while implementing it. You may end up creating too many segments or too few at the beginning. If too many it is not a good sight with useless accounts, if too few, they creating new accounts needs planning.
    I would leave the option to customer and as consultant it also depends upon your own experience.
    Hope that helps.

  • Problems with iTunes/ipad2  I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

    Problems with iTunes/ipad2  I'm trying to buy FREE apps and I'm being told my card is declined but I also have more then enough credit on my account! Anyone having this problem?

    Part of the validation for credit cards is that they need to be registered to exactly the same name and address that you have on your iTunes account, which prepaid cards tend not to be. Do you have a proper credit card that you could use ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country so that you could try using them as your payment method ?
    Until you have a valid payment method on your account and what you owe iTunes has been paid off then you won't be able to download any item from the store, including free apps (and updates to apps).

  • Automatic Contra Posting between account segments

    Hi
    I am using account segments for a company's different division in different locations. My customer wants automatic contra posting when an inter division (segment) jouranl entry takes places.
    The business scenario is like this -
    Action 1:
    "Division A" incurrs travelling expenses on behalf of Division "B". and passess entry (Div B Dr. Cash A/c Cr.)
    Action 2:
    Later, after receiving advice from Division A, Division B passes entry (Travelling Exp Dr. Div A Cr.)
    Since in Action 1 above - it is an inter segment transaction, is it possible that Action 2 will happen automatically with Action 1 ??
    Will appreciate suggession
    Thnx in advance
    Indra

    Indrajit,
    Your requirement is very small and I doubt if there are any AddOn specifically for this.  You might probably be needing to write this code.   If you have other requirement along with this and if you provide me complete details on the requirement I can get some names for you.
    You may email me to let me know if you do not feel appropriate posting it here

  • Posting periods and account segmentation

    the company has several suboffice/division, but they want all under one company in B1. also they receive some of they invoices 2 months lates. Data migration will go back 2 years. So what is best way to set up posting period and account segmentation.

    Hello,
    Take a look at this thread and copied to your notepad :
    Division in SAP Business One
    about how to create suboffice/division.
    The posting period can be created go back more than 1 years from now as long when performing data migration, do not forget to set the current period that match with your data dates. The invoices and other opening balances can be migrated using DTW templates.
    So, I suggest you could create posting period more than 2 years ago in the last time and create 2 segmented accounts consists of sub office and division beside natural account. E.g. :
    12111-01-02 : 12111 is natural account, 01 is suboffice code and 02 is division.

  • Move to Account Segmentation

    Hi,
    We have been using SAP B1 for 4 years and are not using account segmentation but would like to in order to separate our existing branch and a new branch.  Is there any way to do this either with an SAP provided conversion utility or by sending our database to SAP?
    Thanks,
    David

    hi,
    Use segmentation accounts is greyed out once transactions are posted,Hence
    create new database,do appropriate settings,move account balances to new database also
    use copy express to move other datas,Use DTW to import master datas to new database.
    Raise a ticket(consulting) to SAP in service market place abt ur requirement also ask them
    which version will suit the reqirements & with enhanced features .
