Alternate recon acc

hi,
i understand of the alternate recon acc. now i need clarification of this :
1) somehow, this down payment that posted to alternate recon acc will be cleared and the full amount (down payment + invoice balance balance) will be posted to actual gl recon acc, right?
2) alternate recon acc no influential to normal company account, right?
3) can i say it is also something like clearing account?
When u make a down payment
Down Pyament(Vendor Spl. Gl account) Dr.
Cash/Bank Cr.
When Down payment is settled against an invoice
Material Account Dr.
Down Pyament(Vendor Spl. Gl account) Cr.
Vendor Account Cr.
thanks

1. u have the clearing t-code for all the down payment postings ( f-39)
2.the DP a/c is a BS account.... this amount will be shown in diff bucket but it is not treated as revenue by company so no PL entry for this. also it reduces the credit exposure for the customers.
3. it is a recon a/c. used to hold the amounts received in lieu of revenue but not posted as revenue.

Spl gl / alternate recon / true co obj / stats co obj relationship & setup

hi,
i quite confused of the following and i do hope to get explanation if there is any RELATIONSHIP of these 3 and also where and how to create/setup:
1 special gl acc
2 alternate recon acc
3 what should i consider the statement below? it is account assignment? account determination? or what?
When entering an expense item for an operating expense, you must also enter one true CO object. This means that when the item is posted, a CO document is created as well as an FI document. The CO document posts the costs corresponding to the expense to the true CO object.
As well as the true CO object, you can also enter additional statistical CO objects to which the costs are statistically posted (which means they are "not allocatable").
thanks

HI Eliana,
To the third question...
We do link FI with CO through Cost elements.
When ever the expense account is to be linked with the Controlling, we create the expense account as the Primary cost element in FS00.
When the expense has to be assigned to any of the cost object, such as cost center, Internal order, WBS element etc.. we do the account assignment while posting the document.
What it does is the expense will be linked to the Cost object.
When you assign the Expense to two different cost objects..ex: cost center and Internal order.... the real posting will be done to the Internal order and the statistical posting will be done to the Cost center.
Later on when you can settle IO to the Cost center.
When talking about the relation ship among three...
Sp gl account will be created for the Down payments, Guarentees etc., for these we will be creating Spl Reconciliation Ac and will be linked to the Original reconciliation account (OBXR, OBYR), which is FI specific.
Whereas the third one is Controlling specific..
Thanks and regards,

Vendor and GL balancefor recon acc did not match

Hi,
When i tried to generate balances for vendor recon acc using
s_alr_87012277 - GL acc balance
s_alr_87012082 - vendor balance in local currency
the report did not match. What may be the reason?
Can any one pls help me in this..
Thanks,
Sravanthi

Hi,
Reconciliation account for AP is linked to all the vendors. The Recon account will have the balances of all the accounts but whereas in the other report of Vendor balances in local currency you have the option to check for a particular vendor or range of vendors.
If you want to check the balances for regular vendors using report S_ALR_87012082 and in the output control you have many options. You can check the vendors with special G/L balances check that option.
Get back if you have more doubts.

Cr creditor 10000
When make payment to vendor
Cr prepaid asset 100
Dr creditor   100
Dr creditor 9000
Cr bank 9000
thanks

Create in FS00 a recon account for Down Payment or Bills of Exchange. You can copy from the existing recon account for vendor or customer.
Go to OBYR and choose the special G/L indicator. Click on the magnifier. Then enter the main recon account for vendor or customer and in the field of special G/L account, give the special recon account created above.
For example vendor ask for prepayment the goods $ 10,000, prepay $ 1,000
Dr Vendor A/c (posting to special recon a/c) 1,000
Cr    Bank 1,000
When receive goods
Dr Inventory 10,000
Cr GR/IR a/c 10,000
When vendor invoice received
Dr. GR/IR a/c $ 10,000
Cr. Vendor a/c $ 9,000
Cr. Vendor a/c $ 1,000 (down payment adjustment, from special recon account)
When make payment to vendor
Dr Vendor 9,000
Cr Bank 9,000

Alternate Recon A/c

Hi
pls explain alternate recon a/c and where we need to assign in which t-code ans what is the purpose of it?
mallikarjuna

Hi
In this step, you define accounts in which the postings to a customer account are managed in the general ledger. The posting is automatically made to these accounts instead of to the normal reconciliation account.
Note
The specification is dependent on account type, special G/L indicator, chart of accounts and reconciliation account.
Activities
1. Specify the number of the alternative reconciliation account.
2. Make sure that the account is created.
D        Dbt Rec    Doubtful Receivables
E        Reserve    Reserve for bad debt
H        Securit    Security deposit
I        BR Vend    BR: Vendor Operation

Recon. acc.ready for input in FS00

Hi All,
Please let me know what is the purpose of Recon.acc.ready for input in FS00 with examples.
Thanks
Chinna

Reconciliation account ready for input at time of posting - Indicator which determines that the reconciliation account is ready for input when posting a document. The indicator is used in Financial Assets Management like when you make initial load of the asset balances the balances are being posted to Asset Sub-Ledger but not to the GL Account.
On the other hand Reconciliation Accounts are only mean for posting by the System, but when you select the "Recon. account ready for input", it would become like a normal account, it will allow you to post directly, this would invalidate the integrity of the data. Therefore, you should never put the check box Reconciliation Account ready for input for RECONCILIATION accounts.
Summary - Normally sub ledger doesn't allow GL accounts to enter manually in the transactions. But if you actiavte this indicator for reconciliation account, then the subledger allow other recon accounts also while doing the transactions.
Thanks

Recon

hi,
would like to ask as below
1) say vendor account. when make payment to vendor, the payable amount will reduce. the same goes to vdr recon acc? say payable 10k. when payment made, 10k will net off from vendor acc. when posting, vendor recon acc will also reduce by 10k, right?
2) customer account also the same right? when received, cust acc will be net off and cust recon acc will also be reduced. right?
3) what about spl gl acc and alternate recon acc? say down payment, when invoice receive, the down payment amount in spl gl acc will be net off and post to real vendor acc. may i know at the same time the same downpayment amount in alternate recon acc also will be reduced?
4) why need alternate recon acc for spl gl acc? what is that for? real vendor/customer account with the corresponding recon acc in gl, this can be understood but what about this spl gl acc with alternate recon acc.
thanks

Hi,
When we make a down payment to vendor, it is an asset for us (since we have given an advance, untill we receive an invoice for the same, it should be treated as asset)
Now, we have a Reconciliation a/c in vendor master- which is Accounts Payable (comes under Liabilities). whatever transactions we post to the vendor master, it also parallelly updated in recon. a/c.
In general accounting process, an advance that we are making to the vendor, will be posted like this:
Advance paid Dr
Bank Cr.
But, when you see the schedule of this advance paid a/c, you would not come know, against which vendor we have paid advance.
The flexibility of using Spl GL indicator makes the difference here. when you are using a special Gl indicator-it posts to the same Advance paid a/c, but we also have an additional feature of tracking advances vendor wise.
Coming to your question - why two accounts in OBYR.
as we discussed, first a/c is a normal reco a/c where all the general transactions are posted
Second a/c is asset a/c(Advance paid).
So, at any point of time, if you take the financial reports/vendor reports, the liabilities/assets/vendor ledger are shown with full info.
Hope i am clear there.

Gangadhar

Alternate / spl gl

hi,
2 points for my question in q1 q2 and q3.
1 in FS00 Gl master record and assign the equivalent local GAAP gl account in the ALTERNATIVE ACCOUNT NUMBER filed.
2 SPl GL accounts r recon a/c and BS.
double entry will be similar to normal posting... what the differene is that posting will goto ALTERNATEe recon A/C instead of main recon a/c of the customer/vendor.........
u can see the config in FBKP
q1) alternative and alternate the same? if same,which means alternate recon acc is defined in FS00?
q2) if i create a spl gl acc, this spl gl acc is an alternate recon account, right?
q3) may i know if spl gl account (alternate recon acc) must assign to a company code gl account like in point 1 below?
thanks

Hi Eliana,
For this you craete a new chart of account like USGA.
In this chart of account you create the ALTERNATIVE ACCOUNT NUMBERS.
In your normal chart of account you assign these numbers.
The chart account USGA is only set-up on chart account level not on COMPANY CODE level.
When don't make this assignment it is only an information field

Vendor Downpayment with Alternative Recon Account

Dear All,
Could we change the recon account while doing the down payments vendor/customer.
Is there any why please replay me.
Regards

Hi,
Make the necessary configuration in the Tcode FBKP - Special GL indicator- Vendor Downpayment.
You have to maintain the Alternate GL account against the Normal Vendor Reconciliation Account.
When u insert this Special GL while making vendor downpayment, the system will pick the Alternate Recon account maintained against Reconciliation of the Vendor Master in the Tcode FBKP.

Reset recon account payable and receivable

Hi expert
in transaction FSS0 : an account 140000 for example is set as a recon account : the need is to reset it to non recon account.
thanks

Hi,
If no postings are done to this GL account, you will be able to change the RECON ACC TYPE in FS00 without any error, provided you are switched to change mode in FS00.
IN CHANGE MODE only you can change the settings, or else in FS00, choose menu item GL account-> CHANGE
You need to check in OB26 also for activity CHANGE, and make sure that the field REC ACCOUTN FOR ACC TYPE is made as optional or not
In case if you are not able to change, means there must be some documents already posted to subledger for AR.
If this is not the case, then provide the exact errror message and its long text to us.

Recon Acct and Vendor Acct not tele.

Hi Experts
My report in FBL3N and FBL1N not same.
In FBL3N I only key in the;
G/L Code          : 1234
Company Code : MY01
Open Item date : 30.06.2009
In FBL1N I key in the;
Recon account in dynamic selection : 1234
Company code;                                   : MY01
Open item date same as FBL3N          : 30.06.2009
If I extract the report for normal item then the report is same. If I check the noted item and special G/L transactions then the report is not same. I guess the FBL3N is not capturing the noted items and special G/L transactions.
Is the any table to get the report same as in FBL1N?
Thanks
Edited by: krishmenth on Nov 12, 2009 4:04 AM

Hi,
All the special GL Transactions are stored in Altenate Reconciliation Account.
Example:
If you posted down payment to vendor this transaction getting stored initially in alternate recon account. Once you transfer this from alt recon to normal recon account the recon account will get updated with this transaction.
Until there is a difference between Vendor Report(FBL1N) and GL Report(FBL3N).

Hi Prem,
In OBYR, say for K(ie: vendors), for a special GL indicator - A, we maintain the mapping between the Recon account maintained in vendor master to an alternate recon account which we want to be posted in case the posting is made with special GL indicator A
So, if you give one Recon account and map it to multiple special GL account, how will the system choose which recon account to pick up. For that 1:1 & N:1 relation is possible but 1:N is NOT possible.
Hope this helps.

Kavita

Alternative recon gl at invoice verification level (MIRO)

Hi sap gurus,
Plz help me in this regard.
can we change the reconciliation account at invoice verification stage (miro).
I tried by doing through alternative recon configuration and i did all configs by flaging on the recon acc ready for input in gl accounts, and again maintaining same ledger accounts in alternative recon configuration.
but i got the result in f-43 but not in miro. Please any one help me in this regard.
my requirement for the above is in our org one vendor is both domestic and import.
in his case we have to enter any one recon account. so, what i am thinking is if it permits to change recon account at miro level we can select either import or domestic recon acc.
best regards,
ravi.K

Link Recon account to customer account group

hi guys,
Where do we link a reconciliation account to the customer account group?
thanks
srik.

We do not link recon account to the customer account grp.
account group controls
1) the interval for the account numbers
2) whether the number is assigned internally by the system or externally by the user (type of number assignment)
3) whether it is a one-time account
4) which fields are ready for input or must be filled when creating and changing master records (field status) we control the field of recon account from the account group.
we will assign the recon acc when creating a customer master data so that
(When you post to a customer account, the system automatically makes a corresponding posting to the appropriate reconciliation account in the general ledger. This means that it is no longer necessary to transfer the figures from the sub ledger accounts to the general ledger before creating the balance sheet.)
