711 PI write off question

Hi All
To speed up the PI process I have tested that you can move the 'lost stock' quantity from one storage type and bin to the 999 storage type using LT01 and then write off using LI21.
It creates the correct 711 movement type for stock write off.
What are the pitfalls in adopting this method?
Thanks in advance
Darren

Hi Jurgen
Strange but true!
I counted the actual clicks and key presses it takes to process an individual stock adjustment for one part number using LICC, LI11N, LI20 and LI21. It took less clicks and key presses using standard SAp PI than any other write off process I have tested. They included writing off to a cost centre and my previous test of moving the stock difference from its bin to a bin in storage type 999 that just needed LI21 to write off. (even when the processes I have tested have less T-codes!)
I was going to use the LT01 and LI21 process that I tested for just writing off stock adjustments as and when the warehouse staff find a discrepency.
I have a company reluctance to use SAP PI as it "has too many transactions and is too complicated".
Thanks for your suggestion Jurgen, I will enlighten the necessary people.....

Darren

R12 - Accounts Payable & PO Accrual Reconciliation Report - write offs

Hi,
As a relative novice to Oracle I need some help.................
My question regards the above which is essentially a "goods received not invoiced" report.
I have a number of items on the report which I would like to write off for two reasons:
(1) I have a small balance left which is basically the difference between the PO and the accounts payable column - in the region of 1p to 5p (therfore a housekeeping exercise)
(2) Items that we've never received an invoice for (we've received the stock for free!). ie there is only an entry in the PO column of the report.
For the above I would like a method of writing off these balances from the report.* This should therefore create a credit in my P&L account.
Your thoughts please.
Thanks in advance.

Project Billing "write-off" options

I'm attempting to determine the best method of "writing off" transactions on direct projects that have been reported as billable, accrued revenue but will never be billed. Please consider the following narrative as an example:
A consultant (consultant x) charges April time and expense to project 10001 in a billable capacity (charged transactions to a billable task). The transactions are cost distributed, revenue distributed and an invoice is subsequently produced. All cost and revenue transactions are produced, interfaced and ultimately posted to the general ledger in April. The month of April is closed in PA and the invoices for the April billing cycle are produced. Project 10001's draft invoice includes those charges reported by consultant x and is distributed to the project manager for approval. The project manager reviews the invoice review and determines that consultant x's transactions will never be billed and instructs the accounting group to write off the transactions.
Challenge: we need a way to "write-off" (reduce revenue and change billing status) transactions that will allow for consistent reporting and measurement. Specifically, we need to be able to determine all write-off's (revenue/billing reductions) in a given period that relate to original transactions from an earlier or different period. In short, we want to establish a policy and procedure for consistently processing and reporting these types of conditions.
Proposed Options:
1) use the "special" non-billable adjustment option from either expenditure inquiry or invoice review to change the billing status from billable to non-billable.
Pros:
a) transactions will remain on the project in the capacity they were reported by the employee
b) an adjustment record will be created in the PA_Expend_Item_adj_Activities table which will include the adjustment activity code (i.e. Billable Reclass, Non-billable reclass, billing hold, billing hold release, etc.)
c) history of who created original transactions and adjustments is available (full audit trail)
d) a reversing revenue entry will be created in the PA_Cust_Rev_Dist_Lines_all table which will allow us to track the dates (gl period) of the revenue adjustment and compare it to the original transaction dates.
Cons:
a) to the average users the transaction on a billable task flagged as non-billable with no corresponding revenue may look unusual because there is no description explaining why the adjustment existed. the only way to determine that revenue existed and was subsequently reversed is to look at item details- revenue details.
b)The revenue write-off will be charged to the same accounts (revenue and inventory) that the original transaction was booked to but in reverse. we don't have the ability to deflect the "write-off" to a bad debt account versus a direct write-off of revenue.
c) The employee's utilization calculations will be impacted by changing the billing status of the transactions and reducing the corresponding revenue. we may need to update the utilization report to reflect these types of transactions differently.
2) use the "special" transfer adjustment option to transfer the transaction from the originating billable task to a non-billable destination task on the project in question.
Pros:
a) the average user will easily see that the transaction in question has been reversed and b) the revenue subsequently written off by the negative revenue on the reversal transaction
c) an adjustment record will be created in the PA_Expend_Item_adj_activities table which will include the applicable adjustment activity code(s) (Transfer Back-out, Transfer Originating, Transfer Destination).
d) history of who created original and adjustments is available.
a reversing revenue entry will be made via e) the negative reversal entry created in the PA_Cust_Rev_Dist_Lines_All table.
Cons:
a) the original transaction is being altered (transferred) by accounting. the integrity of the transaction as it was submitted by the source employee may be compromised.
b) there is no easy way for the average end user to know where the transaction was transferred to. the information is available via ad hoc reporting from database tables but looking at expenditure inquiry for a given project you will not be able to determine where the transaction went if it was transferred to another task and many tasks exist or if it was transferred to another project entirely.
c) The revenue write-off will be charged to the same accounts (revenue and inventory) that the original transaction was booked to but in reverse. we don't have the ability to deflect the "write-off" to a bad debt account versus a direct write-off of revenue.
d) The employee's utilization calculations will be impacted by changing the billing status of the transactions and reducing the corresponding revenue. we may need to update the utilization report to reflect these types of transactions differently.
e) As a common practice, each project will need at least one "non-billable" task to capture such write-off transfers.
3) use a write-off event (both revenue and billing) to reduce the project by the aggregate amount of all transactions in question.
Pros:
a) employee specific transactions and ultimately utilization results will not be impacted by the independent event transaction.
b) by modifying our autoaccounting rules we will be able to book the "write-off" to an account other than a revenue account. (I believe, more research necessary)
Cons:
a) No link back to actual transactions.
b) original transactions will remain untouched and will appear as though they were billed and will show up on the invoice and detail reports to the client along with an aggregated event for the total write-off amount.
Any thoughts or opinions you can provide about the best practice in Oracle will be greatly appreciated.

Diana,
Here's another response from a (very) senior Projects consultant. Her comments are in CAPS, so they can be dinstinguished from your comments:
"I recommend following the approach she outlines in Section 2, with the following additions:
SECTION 2) use the "special" transfer adjustment option to transfer the Transaction from the originating billable task to a non-billable Destination task on the project in question. CORRECT.
A) SET UP THE WBS TO HAVE A TOP LEVEL NON-BILLABLE TASK, ON EVERY PROJECT, WITH A TASK NUMBER OF :"WRITE-OFF".
B) WRITE AUTOACCOUNTING RULE , BASED ON TASK NUMBER, TO ENSURE THAT ANY TRANSACTIONS CHARGED (TRANSFERRED) TO "WRITE-OFF" TASK WILL BE POSTED TO A "WRITE-OFF/BAD DEBT" ACCT IN GENERAL LEDGER.
C) CREATE A DFF AT THE EXPENDITURE ITEM LEVEL WHICH CAN BE POPULATED AT THE TIME OF TRANSFER, TO INDICATE WHERE THE TRX IS BEING TRANSFERRED TO. IT IS TRUE THAT TRANSFER ACTIVITY REPORT WILL TELL YOU THIS AS WELL, BUT IF YOU
WANT TO SEE IT ONLINE DURING EXPEND. INQ, THEN DFF IS FINE.
D) AS TO CONCERNS ABOUT "THE INTEGRITY" OF THE TRANSACTION AS IT IS SUBMITTED BY THE EMPLOYEE BEING COMPROMISED, THIS IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE, BUT IF THIS IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS CONCERN, THEN I WOULD CONSIDER CREATING AN ALERT TO THE EMPLOYEE WHO ENTERED THE ORIGINAL TRX, ADVISING THEM OF THE CHANGE AND REQUESTING THEIR REVIEW AND OR APPROVAL OF THE TRANSFERRED TRX. I CAN SEE THIS BECOMING QUITE CUMBERSOME THOUGH, AND, OVERALL, ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENTS MANIPULATE TRANSACTIONS FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES ALL THE TIME AS STANDARD PRACTICE, SO I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS IS AN ISSUE HERE.
E) AND LASTLY, IT IS TRUE THAT AS A COMMON PRACTICE, EACH PROJECT WILL NEED A
'WRITE-OFF" TASK AS A STANDARD PART OF IT'S WBS-- SO WHAT? IT'S JUST ONE MORE TASK IN YOUR WBS. BUILD IT INTO YOUR PROJECT TEMPLATES, AND MAKE IT NOT CHARGEABLE UNTIL WRITE OFFS BECOME NECESSARY. AS TO UTILIZATION, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH INFO IN THE CLIENT QUESTION TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE PROPERLY.
THAT'S ABOUT IT. HOPE THIS HELPS.
BEST REGARDS, PAT"

AP Accrual write off

Hi,
Kindly help to me to understand under what situation we need to write-off the AP accrual ?
Wouldn't we want to accrue all univoiced Receipts ?
Thanks

Here are some resons:
1. What PO warehouse has received may not be the one finance/accounting has invoiced. Hence you PO remains open as if it is not invoiced.
2.Sometimes finance may invoice without matching and pay vendor.Hence vendor may not question and procurement is also not questioning because they have received material.
3. Lot of times finance creates invoice for freight with accrual account with no reference to PO.this gets qualified for writeoff.
4.Invoicing for more quantity than what has been recvd. On the similar note invoicing in advance but never received.
Actually if you look at the reasons for the accrual build up you will find answers.

Write-on/Write-off Vehicle

I am new to VMS..
My Requirement ---write-off the vehicle. using movement type and cost center...
Is there any standard transaction available for Write-off/write-on...
Please provide valuable Suggestion ..
Moderator message: please search for available information/documentation.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Oct 28, 2011 10:50 AM

I am getting confused
You and me both!!
I am as certain as I can be that after doing my 702 write off there were no TOs or TRs created and the WM stock is sitting in the exact same storage type in LS26 as it was before I wrote off the stock and there doesn't appeart to be any other negative stocks in LS26 corresponding to my write off.
I have discussed it further with the business and for the write-off issue, they are happy to write stock back on using a 701 movement and then write it off correctly using the 712 movements. e.g.
Current
WM 10
IM 0
701 Write On
WM 10
IM 10
712 Write Off
WM 0
IM 0
This will satisfy them for the write offs as from an IM point of view it will be a write on followed by a write off and from a WM point of view the stock will then leave correctly.
However, we can not do the same thing for our stock that was wrote on as it has already been moved on from an IM point of view so the orginal question is still there. Is there a way we can write on stock from a WM point-of-view without updating the IM stock.

Does R12 Oracle AR Automatic Write Off support cross currencies receipt?

Hi,
not understanding customized installation instructions , customized means tailored by user , what does the meaning of customized context here?Some times before patching you need to back some custom files and/or customization done to some files.
Using PAA, You can put these custom instructions.
You said "when you run adpatch with preinstall=y, it checks if all the pre-requistes are met or not" but the same from above link says.You are right, the preinstall=y is used "during an upgrade or consolidated update".
Pre-install Mode
Pre-install mode is generally used during the upgrade process to update AD utilities,
apply family consolidated upgrade patches, or work around other patching issues.
AutoPatch asks all startup questions except those relating to the database.
To run AutoPatch in pre-install mode, include preinstall=y on the AutoPatch command
line. It performs the following actions:
■ Compares version numbers.
■ Copies files.
■ Relinks FND and AD executables.
■ Saves patch information to the file system.
It compares vesion numbers, meaning checks for pre-req and does the required copying.

Physical Inventory IM write off report with values

Hi All
I am having difficulty in finding a standard transaction that will detail IM write off with a value/cost.
I can see tha values in the LI20 trx which is at WM. However, when you write it off at IM (LI21) it only shows material and quantity and not value. I cannot bring the field in using the layout.
The only way i can currently get the info is to export the data from MB51 (711 and 712 movements) and merge the table in excel with a material cost table and calculate the vaule written off that way.
I need to know the cost to be written off at IM level before I click on the Write Off button.
Any ideas?
Darren

Not really clear what you want or why you are complaining.
LI20 is clearing WM differences. Which is a madatory step in the physical inventory cycle. This one will show you the value. and this one is before you post the differences to IM.
LI21 will not show costs. If you wait with LI21 then you might get other costs than shown in LI20, however, more critical is the stock inconsistency that you have between WM and IM until you execute LI21.
MB51 has the value within, no need to export to Excel and valuated it with a price from another download.

Stock Write-off Report

Dear Friends,
Is there a transaction or Report available to see the write-off stock by plant or through any movement types ? Please suggest
the requirement is as fallows:
Report needs to be selectable by IPC or ICC. Or plant
The report will need to show the stock that has been written off in Quantity of the item, the cost of this stock. And where the stock was written off.
The report should provide a total cost per plant and a total cost per item. At that plant. Where multiple locations are viewed the total cost sum for the plants should be provided.
Regards
Prakash

Hi Prakash
Could you please clarify the following
1. Is this write-off stock means stock posted to scrapping (551 mvmt)?
2. What do you mean by IPC and ICC?
If you can able to bifurcate the write-off through mvmt 551 (or any other) you may get all your requirements in MB51 report itself.
Thanks/ GVRR

IS-Telecommunication RMCA - FI-CA Write offs

Dear All,
This is related to IS-Telecommunication. FI-CA
Scenario: Invoice has been posted with 1121 $ including tax of 121. It means..
Customer account    1121 Dr
Revenue Account 1000 Cr
VAT on sales 121 Cr.
When I am trying to do the write off(FP04 by using reason codes). System is posting the document as below:
VAT on sales account 121 Dr
Expense account   1000 Dr
   To Customer Account 1121.
I would like to transfer the total amount to the expense account instead of transfer to VAT account, if I use some specific reason codes (Like Bankruptcy).
Expected account entry:
Expense account 1121
to Customer account 1121.
I found there is a event 5070 (Write-off: Tax Special Features ) in order to meet the above requirement.
If any one knows about the requirement and solution. Please advise.
Thanks in advance

Hi Friends ,
Did any of you had tis situation at your client ? I want to know the impact of tax liabilitry on sales write off amounts , will it reduce the tax liability if sales write off amounts or in other words the bad debts are considered for tax calcualtion. Any inputs greatly accepted,
thank you ,

Asset write off in the current fiscal year.

Hi Experts,
I want to write off an asset in next 4 periods of the current fiscal year 2007. For example:
Asset 11000
APC value: 10000
APC Date: 01.01.2005
The useful life will end in fiscal year 2008.
The book value left at the begining of the current fiscal year 2007 Rs. 4000.00
In the current fiscal year this asset has already been depreciated for previuos 3 periods.
Now Business wants to write off ( fully depreciated ) this asset in next 4 periods equally and then if the book value and tax value is nil, they want to scap the asset.
Now can you please tell me how to make this happened. Its very urgent. If you need any more information, most welcome.
Rgds,
BABA

Hi,
You would have to set the asset to manual depreciation(Depr.Key MANU)
and generate a posting via ABMA for each of the periods.
Kind regards

Vendor balance write off

Hi All,
Just would understand how this bussiness scenario is usually handled in SAP AP.
We have a liability for 1000. The vendor agreed that we can settle it at 500., hence a payment is created for 500.
So to make the vendor account outstanding balance to '0', what is the normal practice in SAP Payables .
In AR , we have a write off account to take care of these cases.
thanks,

You can write off the balance and can clear in T.Code F-51
