MM vs FI for expenses
Hi,
Requirement is to push non po invoices and invoices related to expenses into SAP .
we are looking to see whats the best approach in terms of pushing it to MM vs FI.
From SAP document it seems like LIV(MM) can be used for expenses as well. but would like to get other views to make a better decision.
Thanks,
Hi Suganthi
The best way to post invoices related to expenses is using FI transaction. If you want to follow LIV, you have to enter a chain of transactions like PO,GR,IV.
It requires lot of manpower and time. I didn't find any advantage using LIV for expenses.
Suggest both the options to customer and explain Pros n cons and ask him to choose one.
If I am the one to decide then I will go for FI posting.
Thanks

Payment to Employee - vendor, for expenses
Dear friends,
Generally speaking in any organisation it is common to pay certain amount to Employees to meet particular expenses like printing and stationary, or any thing (either in advance or without using the word advance for expenses)...
here also i am facing the same. My client paying money without "generating Payment request" - he pay directly to the employee, then entry will be ...
Printing & Stationary Account -- Debit
Cash Account -- Credit
But here no Employee name is coming in to picture. So at the end of the month, we have no information to track how much money is given to "X - employee" to meet Printing & Stationary Exp. Is there any possibility to track these in Cash Journal?
You may say, Create Employee Vendor... even see the entry here no employee name is generating at the time of transaction, since no payment request is generating.
(If payment request is generated then the entry will be ...
Printing & Stationay A/c -- Dr
To X A/c
at the time of payment ---
X A/c --- Dr
To Cash Account.... Is it?)
Then without payment request how this can be tracked...
-- How much paid for Printing & Stationary to an Employee (Particular Exp. Vs Employee)
-- How much paid to employee to meet Printing & Stationary, Postage, etc..,, (Employee Vs All the expeses)
Please guid me
Regards:
DasuHi
In Transaction FBCJ,there are four types of entries u posted
Expnses A/c
Vendor payment
Customer Receipt
Cash withdraw from bank
in case of expesnes , exp account created like postage,printing, telephone etc.
same in otehr case
so when u post the expneses to vendor
then in fbcj
in business transaction field select Priniting & stationary
then amount suppose 5000
then recept name - suppose vendor name
thenin text field - enter narration
then in vendor - select vendor
and if cost center is manadatory then selct cost center
after this u save or post the document
Note : when u save entry not show,it show ywellow icon
but when u post it show green
then docuble clcik on transaction
u see the entry
Printing & Statiory dr
Vendor cr
and when u pay the vendor
then selct in bysiness transaction vendor payment
then enter amount
receipt name , text
and then selct vendor
then u post
after this entry generated
Vendor a/c dr
to cash Cr
try this , this is helpful for u
if any query, revert back

Vendor for expenses default GL and purchase GL
I setup default GL for expense type vendor that should use AP control account like 22000 with expense GL code while purchase vendor will use AP control account like 21000 (post item receipt will debit to inventory and credit to PO clearing).
When I added new vendor that set control account to 22000 and can not change to 21000, why caused this issue? Even the Vendor group setup has Purchase Vendor, Expense Vendor, Secondary Vendor,,,etc.
How to force user to setup Expense Vendor with proper GL account in case user forgot to choose any GL code for new expense vendor?Hi
By validating that field in the BP master every time when you add new vendor the system will gives you alert about the changing/rectifying the account code.
This you can do it with the SDK when slect perticular group of the vendor then select that perticular account
Hope this Helps

Validation rule for expense type
Hi,
I'd like to know if it's possible to create a validation rule for expense type and personnel number.
I need to lock some expense types for some personnel number.
Thanks in advance.
Osmar Tardivo.Hello,
Sorry to say but I am not aware of any customization which restrict an expenses type based on personal number..
There is a setting which can restrict Travel Expense Types based on Employee Grouping. Please go through below path.
Travel Management-> Travel Expenses-> Control Parameters for Travel Expenses-> Control Parameters from Travel Privileges-> Define Employee Grouping for Travel Expense Types
Hope this help you!
Thanks,

Hello,
I have still another question, sorry
I need a field for expenses. With this I mean that the employee is able to entry if this recorded time is valid for expenses or not.
Do I have a user definded field and if yes how to implement it?
Thx,
VanessaHello and thanks for the reply. The point is that I don't know if I have to use a used defined field or if I could use other fields like the Att/Abs. field. So thanks for the tip with the Att/Abs. I will have a deeper look to this.
Thx, Vanessa -

Interface for expense reports?
Hi
I am using v11.5. What interface do I use for importing expense
reports? The user manual states that Paybales Interface import
will no longer be supported. Is this only for invoices or even
for expense reports?
thanks
sarathHello All,
I need to Develop AP Expense Invoice Interface for uploading all expense (Travel Claims/Amex Bank Transactions) invoice vouchers from a legacy Application in to Oracle Applications . (Are this Base tables or Interface tables Ap_expense_report_lines_all,Ap_expense_report_headers_all i am confused i have seen the AP User guide i could not find any information realted to this).
According to manuals i could trace at somepoints Ap_expense_report_lines_all,Ap_expense_report_headers_all tables are Interface related .
I could figure out that we need to run "Payable Import program' for Expenses and for AP Invoice , Credit memo we use standard "Payable Open import interface Program' ,do we have any table for this or do we need to go for APIs ,if anyone of u know about Interface tables or APIs please post me a message.
Please let me know the flow of AP Expenses creation.
Thanks in Advance -
R12:Is it possible to Manage Tax for Expense purchases from iProcurement ?
Hi,
Is it possible to Manage Tax for Expense purchases from iProcurement. I don't see Manage Tax option in Iprocurement when I do the Checkout.
Could anyone give some light on this ?Good news. I've found support note 552107.1 (How To Enable E-Business tax Functionality In Iprocurement Release 12) where support explains how to show tax parameters field in iProc requisition.
But anyway like in PO in R12 You will be able only to select tax codes etc, but not the final Tax values. Because now eTax calculates it.

Edited by: sreekanth munipally on Apr 2, 2009 6:10 PMI don't think you can maintain sub-ledger for any expense account in SAP. What you can do is maintain the main account as account group and maintain the expenditure accounts in that group. Alternatively you can design your Financial statement version accordingly. You can group the similar accounts in one group.

IExpenses - Answer to the request of more information for Expense Approval
Hi,
I have Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 installed. And the answer to the request of more information for Expense Approval does not appear to the approver. The "requestor" perform the reimbursement request to the "approver", and the approver requests more information through the notification sent, the requestor answer the message after that and the notification goes to the approver without any message.
Thanks,
NézioThe request for information is received properly by the employee who submitted the expenses, but their response is not received by the approver, the approver just sees the same as the original notification. This is working properly in iProcurement but not in iExpenses.
Thanks

Trip activity type permissibility for Expense part
Dear Experts,
I would like to use trip activity type permissibility, grouping concepts etc. - as it is possible for Travel Planning - for Expenses in order to be able to differentiate the trip activities as per comany code. All company codes however, are using only one, same trip provision variant and one trip schema - 01.
Once I´ve mantained the groups and permissibility in Planning part, I have now two fields for Trip actiivty type on the Request screen. I would like to use only one, with permissibility possible. But the client is using only one trip schema, 01. TRV Planning is not being used.
Is there any way to do it?
Thank you
Best Regards
EmiliaHi Emilia,
I don't understand the problem. There are are three parameters below a schema of a trip provision variant to further distinguish customizing specifications and the overall process flow of FI-TV, these are (trying to loosely translate from German, might not be the exact English wording) KZREA (trip type by law) , BEREI (trip type by company) and KZTKT (trip activity type). Then, additionally, from the planning component, there's PLAN_ACTIVITY_TYPE (trip activity type only relevant for the planning module, has no function for the rest of FI-TV whatsoever).
I'm not really sure what confuses you, but if you do NOT use FI-TV-PL, then you can just disable PLAN_ACTIVITY_TYPE in FITVFELD_WEB and all is good.
Cheers, Lukas
