F-48, Special GL Indicator, and BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST

In a thread a few days ago over in the ABAP General forum, Eric Cartman indicated that it might be possible to use BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST to do an F-48.
I met with the functionals today and we took an F-48 recording to see how their input field requirements line up with this BAPI.
Everything looks "vanilla" except for the Special GL Indicator - they made this "N" in the recording.
But when I looked for Special GL Indicator in the BAPI structures, I didn't see a place for it.
So, two questions:
a) did I "miss" Special GL Indicator in the BAPI structures - is there actually a place to put it?
b) if not, is this a "gotcha" - does it mean that you can't use the BAPI for the kind of F-48 they want to do?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
djh

hi David,
I am afraid you overlooked...
BAPI Tables parameters:
ACCOUNTRECEIVABLE ==> structure BAPIACAR09
ACCOUNTPAYABLE ==> structure BAPIACAP09 (F-48 is for vendors, so you need this one)
in both cases the field for special G/L is SP_GL_IND (somewhere at the end)
hope this helps

Special GL indicator and document type

I 'm not well acquainted to the FI applications but I know special GL indicator and document type are two important thing on Financials .
I want to learn for what purpose these two fields used . Also I would like to learn interactions between FI GL and FI AR . If you can share a detailed explanation about my questions, it will be much appreciated
thanks in advance

Hi,
Special GL Indicator's you have to declere for special cases like Down payment and Bills of exchange etc..
those tables are stored in different different tables and not in regular tables.
Doc Type
based on document type we will identify that Vendor Invoices , Customer Invoices , memo, JV.
each doc type is having a seperate no range.
FI-gl handled all GL issues.
FI-AR handleds all customer issues.
we will get more help at http://help.sap.com/

How to avoid special stock indicator for intercompany sales transitions.

Hi Friends
I have an issue Intercompany sales .if I enter intercompany plant(Delivering plant) in the sales order system is taking special stock indicator and looking for sales order stock.
If I enter company code plant for sales from unrestricted stock, system is not taking special stock indicator.
Please advice how to avoid special stock indicator for intercompany sales transitions.
Thanks in advance.
SRK

Ravi,
Special stock is generally determined by the MRP strategy group in the material master of the plant against which you place your order. The strateg(ies) contained in the strategy group will determine the SO requirements type, which will in turn determine whether or not the order is 'account assigned' (special stock).
It is normal to only have one strategy contained in a strategy group. However (and I seldom recommend this) SAP will support multiple strategies within one strategy group. In this case, you could have both MTS and MTO orders against the same plant/material, by manually altering the requirements type in the sales order. This scenario is usually difficult for a planner, and involves additional manual attention to make everything work.
I suggest that your first avenue is to change the Strategy group in the material master of the delivering plant to one that supports MTS. This has a big impact in Controlling and in Production Planning, so ensure that all affected functional groups are aware of what you are doing, and of the resulting changes that they will experience. The transition from MTO to MTS must be carefully controlled.
If you are not a PP expert, I suggest you consult with your local PP expert before embarking on this change.

In FBKP itself you can delete existing M special gl indicator and create same , but that possible only it should not assign any gl and used.

Moving Stock Directly to a Fixed Bin using a Special Movement Indicator

I am trying to set up moving stocks directly to fixed bin using special movement indicator.
Found the below in SAP documentation:
==========
Each time a goods receipt is posted for material ABC, you want to move the material directly to storage bin FIX-ABC in storage type 005 of warehouse number 001 without creating a transfer requirement or transfer order. To do this, you need to set up the system as follows:
1. Create the fixed bin FIX-ABC in storage type 005 that is defined in the standard system using the fixed bin search strategy.
2. Create a special movement indicator for your warehouse number.
3. Add the special movement indicator and the fixed bin FIX-ABC to the material master for material ABC.
4. Create a new WM movement type to move materials directly into fixed bins without creating transfer orders or transfer requirements.
5. In the reference movement type table, create a new entry that links an appropriate IM movement type to the new movement type using the special movement indicator.
==============
I have completed the steps 1 to 4. I am not sure of step 5 in IMG. Can some one please give me the menupath and guide me?
Appreciate your help as always.
Regards,
Sadanand

Hello,
You can go to LE-WM-interfaces-Inventory management-Define movement types-
a) Assign WM Movement Type References to IM Movement Types - here you can assign your IM mvt to WM mvt
b) then LE-WM Interface to Inventory Management - here you can assign the ref movement type assigned in 1 above to the actual WM movement type you want to carry out and you can assign your special movement indicator here as well.
So this will be
<WH No.> <ref. mvt say 101> <mvt indicator say B ( for PO)> <spl mvt indicator that you have created> <Wm mvt type> <TR creation - X or A > <Immediate To creation X or A >

Table for special G/L indicator and withholding tax?

Hi experts,
Iu2019m trying to post a vendor invoice on F-02. When I use vendor invoice posting key the system brings withholding tax automatically but when I use special G/L indicator (incoming credit posting ) withholding tax is not coming.
Is there any connection between posting key and withholding tax or special G/L indicator? Where should I correct this error?
Thanks by now
Edited by: Hande Yaman on May 31, 2011 5:01 PM

Dear,
You can check out relationship between posting key and wht by checking Field status group of posting key in OB41. Now comming to the problem with your special GL indicator with no WHT posting, you need to check FSG of Special Gl indictator in OBYR and special GL in OBC4. Look if its suppressed there.

F-30: posting with clearing a document with special G/L indicator and tax

Hi All,
by t.code F-02 I've posted a document with the follow items:
PK     SG      Account Description
40                Bank G/L Account   u20AC 1200,00
19      A       Customer code         u20AC 1000,00- (1000,00 amount and 200,00 tax amount)
50                Tax G/L Account     u20AC 200,00-
If I launch the t.code F-30 (post with clearing), choose that customer and select the special G/L indicator "A", SAP displays
the document I've posted with an amount equal to 1.200,00- instead of 1000,00.
This does't allow me to clear the open Item....
Could anyone hel me?
Thanks
Gandalf

Hi
A   payment recorded with   special GL indicator is automatically set as locked. This is sap program and cant be changed. When the related invoice is recorded , the   down payment can be cleared with it using F-39, provided the down payment relates to the same sales / purchase order.
For the difference in customer amount, its difficult to answer as    it may be due to wrong account selection or wrong amount entered in customer.
Thanks

Down payment request and special GL indicator

Hi SAP Experts,
From several days I'm looking for an explanation of standard down payment process in SAP:
When we create down payment request for customer, billing type FAZ, corresponding FI document is created with special GL indicator "F".
Does somebody know what is the configuration for that? How the system determines that for FAZ billing type it should create special GL indicator "F"?
Thanks and appreciate any suggestions.

Dear Marin Please check in Google

Special G/L indicator and due date

Dear all,
In FB01 when I post on customer account with special GL indicator, in the next screen the "due date" field is mandatory.
I would like to fill this field automatically. I tried via substitution, but it doesn't seem to work with "due date".
Do you have any suggestions please?
Many thanks,
Becky

Hello,
Please note that the due date field is as per standard design as per the SAP note 95079.
Field BSEG-ZFBDT is hardcoded in most FI screens to be mandatory and cannot be influenced by any field status changes. This situation only valid when posting with special G/L indicator (downpayment).
The reason behind this is that this special GL screen and the data entered here are very important to many other programs. This data affects liabilities and receivables where due date is necessary almost everytime.
Could you try the following :
- Change in SE51 the requirement condition (field attribute). However, this would be deemed as a modification to the standard
system. You may be responsible for any negative consequences once decided to make such modification.
- You can also try Use a substitution rule (like: if special GL = A and user = ... and account = ... and.... then BSEG-ZFBDT = today). I am surprised to know that this doesn't work for you. Are you getting any error message while subsititution is triggered?
Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.
Best regards,
Suresh Jayanthi.

CO07 and special stock indicator for components

Hello,
My final purpose is to be able to call components from project stock in production orders without header material, created in CO07.
I notice a strange behavior and would be glad to recieve some explanations.
Production orders are assigned to a WBS. If I indicate the WBS in the CO07 selection screen, the special stock indicator for the components is determined as expected:
If view MRP 4 for the component says "Individual requirements" then special stock indicator is set to "Project stock"
If view MRP 4 for the component says "Collective requirements" then special stock indicator is set to "Common stock"
Second scenario is that I don't provide the WBS in the CO07 selection screen, but provide it in the assignment tab later. In this case, the special stock indicator for components will always be empty (common stock) by default, without any possibility to modify this manually.
Is anybody able to explain me why?
Merry Christmas to all.

Hi!
Actually it is not related to SAP Manufacuting Execution solution - so you'd rather re-post the question to ERP-related forum. This can help you find a proper one.

Cash Journal and Special GL Indicator

Hi All,
When I paid cash through cash journal under advance against expenses it does not ask me any special GL indiacator. So in report FK10n under special GL it does not show anything . However when I make entry through F-02 with posting Key 29 and with special GL indicator for entries related to Advance against expenses it does show in FK10N . So what should I do in cash journal so that it shows report in FK10n under special GL.
Thnkas

hi
As mentioned many times, Special GL is can not be used in cash Journal. Here is a work around.
1. Create a business transaction - Advances to Vendor with entries: Dr. A/p-vendor Cr. Cash
2. Normally, the first step is the set up of Advances in FB60. Dr. Advances to Vendor Cr. A/P-vendor
3. Lastly clear the transaction using F-04. entry would be Dr. A/P - Vendor Cr. A/P-vendor.
4. As you can see, Advances is still an open item. To clear the advances, Dr. Expense/Asset Cr. Advances to Vendor.
If you check FBL1N, no item should be left open with regards to this transaction. I hope it clarifies the issue
Thanks

BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN not Updating Special stock indicator field

Hi Experts
I am using BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to create and then update a Customer Service Order. When am trying to update the Special stock indicator field in the Components Tab(of IW32) through BAPI, its not doing so, and no error is thrown as well.
The required qty and the batch field in the components tab get updated which ensures that the logic am using is the correct one.
Please let me know if anyone has faced such a situation before. Any workaround(some other FM) to update this field is also welcome.
Points guaranteed.
Thanks
Kulpreet Singh.

Hi!
BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN is only updating a field, when you set the update flag also in CHANGE method.
So if you are maintainig the IT_COMPONENT table, you have to put an 'X' into the same field in the IT_COMPONENT_UP table also.
And of course don't forget to commit the modification.

Delete target special G/L indicator
Message no. F4137

In the SAP system, you can only use "Target special G/L indicators" with "Down payment/down payment request" when "Noted item" is also selected at the same time. These requirements are not fulfilled in the special G/L indicator "H".
Procedure
Delete the specified target special G/L indicator.
Effects on Customizing
You can define when this system message is to be issued in accordance with your requirements.
You do this in Customizing as follows: Cross-Application Components -> Bank Directory -> Change Message Control.
