Settle to an expense account

HI guys: we have a situation where we have set up a capital project. We have 2 levels, one that settles to an AUC and the 2nd that settles to a cost center. Now what if you want to settle to a specific GL expense account along with a cost center? SAP is asking me to use a default cost center for this purpose. How can i settle to a GL account and use a specific cost center? Remember the receiver GL account is different from the one i initially posted to....
Will i have to set up something in OKB9?
If i settle to a balance sheet account there is no issue.
It seems that SAP only allows me to choose either a cost center or a GL account as the receiver category, but how can i settle to a different cost center using a cost center? Will a user exit help?
thanks so much!
Brian

You can set up that in OKB9.
But the other way I see is setting up FI substitutions and using an exit to pick up the Cctr from WBS master data (provided you are maintaning it on WBS master data). In this way when FI posting happens the line item will carry the Cctr along with your expense G/L account. I have used the same logic to derive Profit Ctr from WBS master data when setteling to an expense account.
Hope this helps.

  • Travel expense accounting program

    hi all
    I need to ask about travel expense accounting program.
    The standard feature TRVPA does not have "expense type".
    The requirement is to settle trips based on expense type, any idea how this  can be achieved by user exits or other features?

    Hi Swayam,
    Yes, the time capture can be done without the CO-Integration. If there is no co-integraion, the travel expense to cProjects is not possible, or make no sense.
    If you are interested, there are two ways by CATS Integration, with and without co-integration.
    Case A: without co integration.
    1.  Worklist (or timesheet?) in ERP will be generated according the cProject structure and custmoizing settings, which control, at which object can the confirmation done.  Such worklist does not have a co object.
    2. The user capture the time\efforts using CATS in ERP system.
    3. the confirmed time\efforts are transfered back to the cProject system, and write in the involved cProject element.
    Case B: with co-integration.
    1.  Worklist (or timesheet?) in ERP will be generated according
         - the cProject structure and
         - customizing settings, which control, at which object can the confirmation done
         - the assigned co-object of cProject elements.
        The worklist has a co object.
    2. The user capture the time\efforts using CATS in ERP system.
    3. the confirmed time\efforts are transfered back to the cProject system, and write in the involved cProject element.
    4. The (actual) costs are booked at ERP system due to the co-object in worklist.
    5. Additionally, the cProject evaluation can read the actual costs from ERP system and display it.
    Kind regards,

  • Order settlement to G/L account.

    Hi all,
    use is trying to settlement from internal order to G/L account. This G/L account is a "TAXABLE EXPENSES" balance sheet account. but they have selected the fields "Business area and "Profit center" are required fields. when they are trying to do the settlement in the month end using transaction code "KO8G" is is showing the error is "field business area is a required field for G/L account".
    please let me know where do i have to check for this issue.

    Hi Eli Klovski,
    Actually we are using the 3.1 version. in :OKB9" it has the fields only are company code, cost element, business area check box, controlling area, cost center, order and profit center fields.
    but our G/L account has not been created as a cost element because it is a Balance sheet account.
    i have checked in allocation structure, here settlement by cost element check box has been selected.
    how this picks the business area when we are doing the settlement to G/L account from internal order.
    here it is showing the error is "field business area is a required field for G/L account". when we are doing settlement using the T.C. KO8G.
    Please give me sugession how to overcome on this issue.
    Have a nice day.

  • Variance is Getting Credited to COGM Expense Account

    Hi,
    While doing the Production process, we got 15$ variance due to the variance between Goods Receipt and Goods Issue. When i settle the production order, The above 15$ is getting debited to Variance account and posting to COPA and the is getting credited to Material COGM - Expense Account. But not going to COPA.
    The above process is correct? But why is is not posting to COPA. How it will goto COPA?
    Thanks
    Fit for Nothing

    Hi
    The prod order is a temporary object created for the purpose of manufacturing a specific lot size of a given product
    Debits like Raw Material And Activity confirmations post to the production order - Say, 105 USD
    Credits like Goods receipt - Posted to the production order - Say 100 USD
    In order to close the Production order, you must post the balance (variance) 5 USD also to the production order... And the account is COGM i.e. offsetting account for GR or Settlements pertaining to production order...
    .... Thats the precise reason why variance is posted to COGM account and to the production order and not COPA...
    COPA will be posted to once you sell this stuff which you have manufactured from the production order

    Please refer to note 826357
    When implementing the new G/L accounting in Release SAP ERP, we recommend that all new customers map the Profit Center within the new G/L accounting by activating the scenario FIN_PCA (profit center update). It is not advisable to activate the classic Profit Center Accounting in parallel and consequently update parallel data volumes.
    You might have defined the update of the characteristics "Profit Center" and "Partner Profit Center" in the ledger by selecting the scenario "Profit center update" (Customizing: "Financial Accounting (new) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (new) -> Ledgers -> Ledger -> Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers").
    If the profit center scenario in the new G/L accounting is active, classic Profit Center Accounting is not active

  • Use Tax Posting To Tax Payable and Expense Account

    Hello Experts,
    I am trying to post tax, code 03, to an expense account instead of the customer account at the time of billing. This is for use tax posting based on the costs of our materials and should be paid by company and not passed to the customer. Currently The percentages will base from the cost of material instead of sale price but this is posting to our tax payable account and to customer account as below:
    Dr Customer Account 1.27
           Cr Revenue -1.20
           Cr Use Tax Payable -.07
    The desired outcome would be as below:
    Dr Customer Account 1.20
         Cr Revenue -1.20
         Cr Use Tax Payable -.07
    Dr Use Tax Expense .07
    Thanks in advance for help.

    Hi
    Welcome to SDN Forum
    As you want to post to separate Tax payable and expense account ,so maintain a separate account key and assign it to the tax condition type in Pricing procedure .In VKOA assign the G/L accounts to that account key.So you have to take your FI Team members help to get the G/L accounts.and its assignment to the tax code.

  • AU133 - Expense Account for Ord Depreciation could not be found for Area 58

    Hi
    I am working on ECC 6.0 Version. While running Depreciation AFAB in one our company codes, I am facing the Error No. AU133, Expense Account for Ord Depreciation could not be found for Area 58.
    Whereas there is no this error for our Book Depreciation Area 01.
    I have checked all the Accounting Assignments settings in AO90 and AO93. They are correctly maintained. I have no clues how to go about it.
    I have also checked whether the Depreciation and Acc. Dep GLs are maintained as recon account. But they are correct only.
    Please suggest any solution as we have to close the period.
    Gemini

    Same problem after upgrade from 4.6c.
    The solution was to create the depreciation accounts in the company code - kind of strange, since all depreciation postings must be made as cross-company postings to a cc that (obviously) has the account and since it worked in the old "RABUCH"- version. It seems to be ok to just create the accounts and then block them for posting (to avoid posting to them by mistake).

  • Internal order settlement to G/L account

    Dear All,
    User has created one internal order 650002012 and the settlement profile is created settle to G/L account S882000000. this is a cost element category "1" (Loss on contract cancellation & co).
    In the internal order The Responsible cost center is DA01D89998 (Validation & Eng Admin-St) the profit center for this "DA01".
    In the internal order the Requesting cost center is DA26ZPSHRD (Shared Cost Center for Deltron), the profit center is "DA26"
    in the settlement profile when i double click on the settlement rule, he has assigned the Cost center DA01ZPSHRD (Shared Cost Center for Ko) and the profit center is "DA01".
    But when he execute the T.C "KO8G" the system is showing the error is " G/L account requires an assignement to CO object".
    1. The receiver G/L account has created as a cost element. is this correct?
    2. In the allocation structure do we have to select the "By cost element check box" or do we have to give the secondary cost element in the settlement cost element field.
    Please give the sugessions to solve this problem.
    Thanks and regards,
    Rao.

    It sounds like you are a little confused on how internal order settlement works.  If you want the internal order to settle to a G/L account then you must enter the G/L account number in the settlement rule in the internal order.  To do this, click on the settlement rule button in the order, select category G/L and enter the G/L account number.  In order for you to be able to select G/L as a settlement object the settlement profile you've assigned to the order must allow this.  Check the settlement profile and make sure that G/L account is listed as settlement optional or settlement required.  Also check the allocation structure that is attached to the settlement profile. In the allocation structure you must have an entry under the settlement cost element for receiver category G/L.  Here you should specify a cost element of type 22 as the settlement cost element.
    When you make those settings you will be able to specify the receiving G/L account in the internal order.  The system will then credit the internal order for the settlment amount with the credit posted on the category 22 cost element specified in the allocation structure.  The debit will appear on the G/L account you specified in the internal order's settlement rule.  Normally, the receiving G/L account would not be setup as a cost element.  if you do set it up as a cost element you will need to use an automatic account assignment setting (OKB9) to specify the cost object that it will post to.
    thanks,

  • Usage of expense account

    hi all,
    please tell me usage of expense account.
    thanks
    rahul

    Hi Rahul,
    When we are doing transactions with items that are defined as 'non-inventory', expense account comes into picture. Else, the "inventory" account" will be affected.
    We define the "expense Account" in the "Inventory" tab of the "G/L Account Determination" screen. However, depending upon the nature of item or warehouse, we can change the expense account both at item group as well as warehouse screens.

  • Upload facility for smart forms and expense account rules in oracle iprocurement R12.1.3

    Hi All, 
    We are implementing iprocurement for new operating unit.
    We have many expense account rules and approximately 450 smart forms to be setup for new OU. But as part of R12, the setups are to be done through HTML pages.
    Currently I do not see any option to upload these 2 items, as doing them manually will take lot of manual effort.
    Are there any APIs available to load these 2 items? OR any workaround like using dataloader or isetup?
    I am sure many clients are using R12 for very long time and not sure if there are any issues raised on this?
    Could you please let us know if there are any options avialble to upload them?

    How to Setup a Valid Vacation Rule for Purchasing Notifications (Doc ID 378023.1)
    Goal
    What steps are required for proper setup of a Vacation Rule for routing of Purchasing Notifications?
    Fix
    1.  Enter the Notification Summary or Worklist for a user
    2.  Select the "Vacation Rule" link
    3.  Select the "Create New Rule" link
    4.  For Item Type select "All" for all Notifications or select the desired Notification Type from List of Values
    5.  Select the "Next" link to proceed to the next setup page for the rule
    6.  Enter both a a valid Start and End Date for the new rule
    7.  Ensure the "Reassign" radio button is selected
    8.  Keep "All Employees and Users" in the menu box
    9.  Select the "Delegate" radio button - Assign/Reassign action is prohibited for Purchasing Notifications
    10.  Select the Flashlight icon next to the blank menu box for selecting a user
    11.  A new sub-screen should pop-up to perform the user search
    12.  For "Search By" select "Username" - (DO NOT search by Name)
    13.  Perform the needed wildcard (%) search at the top of the page to locate the desired username
    14.  Click the radio button next to the desired name of the user to have the notifications sent to
    15.  Press the "Select" button followed by the "Apply" button
    16.  Continue on with the saving of the Vacation Rule for latter use
    Note:
    The key to setting-up a valid Vacation Rule is to ensure the rule is tied to a Username rather then the Full Name of the desired user.  The reason for this is that the Worklist and Notification Summary for the user is linked to their username and not full name record.

  • Cost centre report with all GL expense accounts

    Hi Gurus;
    Can you please give a cost centre report that gives all GL expense accounts with the correponding Cost centres or functional areas ni the next column?
    Example:
    Column A                        B                C                          D
    GL 12005                Cc 52001        Amount 100          function area 1000
    That is without expanding the report gives you in total amount per requested period in the format shown.
    The report should tally with Trial balance for all expense accounts.
    Thanks
    Lameck

    Hi
    Did you check the available reports in cost center accounting ?
    Also check the report layout and check the desired fields.
    Now you could see whether they match or not your requirement.
    If not also, you could add fields from the options.
    If nothing works, create a Z Report.

  • Error when posting debit balances to expense accounts

    dear experts.
    A screen dump is produced when saving or posting debit balances to expense accounts for only certain periods and for a certain fiscal year in this case year 2006. credit balances are being posted without any problem to the same accounts, same periods and fiscal year. what might be the problem. can the problem be solved form the ABAP side or FI side?
    its urgent

    Hi Willard,
    Karthik is right, we need more input to resolve this issue. ST22 can give it to you.
    This issue as far as I understand has nothing to do with ABAP. It has to be resolved by functional / basis people.
    Is there any internal order / cost center assignment when posting to these expense a/c's?
