ABST2 - Differences between Assets and G/L accts

Hi Experts
We are working on ECC 6.0 and INR is our local currency.
At the end of FY 2007 by mistake direct postings were made to Dep Fund Account which is a Recon a/c and FY 2007 was closed
And because of which FI-GL and FI-AA doesnt match by INR 37353.71 (amt posted in above doc) as shown in ABST2
I've referred SAP notes 104567 & 69225 and found the note 69225 relevant to follow as the difference has not resulted in the current or open years.
So we have passed direct entry which is exactly the reversal of entry posted above using ABF1 (INR -37353.71)
After posting the 2nd document, in ABST2 another line has appeared of INR -37353.71. Although the sum for my recon GL is now zero.
The output of ABST2 is as below now -
Sc  Acct no.   BusA  Year  SG  1st local difference  LCurr  Doc.no.    Period
AS  31100                2009               37,353.71-        INR     W004
AS  31100                2009               37,353.71         INR     W004       999
When I come out of ABST2 , addition to 1st, error no 2 is also coming which I thought would disappear.
1.Differences between assets and G/L accts in the balance carried forward
     Message no. MQ555
2.Differences between assets and G/L accounts at the key date
     Message no. MQ557
Is still something else needs to be done?
Or can I move ahead as the summation of the difference is now zero?
Please suggest.
Kapil

We referred to SAP and they suggeted that the tagging of W004 in both the lines means that now there is no error even system prompts it as error.
So we continued with the transactions and after closing the FY 2009, today when we run ABST2, we dont get any error messages as there is no difference left between Assets & GL.

  • Differences between assets and G/L accts

    Differences between assets and G/L accts in the balance carried forward
    Message no. MQ 555
    Diagnosis
    Differences occurred in the balance carried forward when comparing asset summary records and G/L accounts.
    Procedure
    Using program RFEWSBAL, select the accounts for which differences occurred. To do this, proceed as follows:
    1. Changeover package: Active package
    Phase: ANALYZE
    Origin of change: AS
    Proceed
    1. Analyze the accounts containing errors using note 104567.
    If the document number field contains the entry "W004", this means that although a difference exists in the balance carried forward, this difference was charged off at the key date. Following local currency changeover, the system adjusts the currency differences at the key date only, but not in the balance carried forward.
    If the entry "W004" exists for all affected accounts, the status is set to warning instead of error. If the correction at key date described above proves sufficient, you can continue changing over the local currency without additional adjustments in the previous year.
    However, SAP does recommend that you make corrections in the previous year in line with note 104567 since this ensures that the balance carried forward is also reconciled.

    Hello,
    There 2 t codes ABST and ABST2.
    You have issue if ABST does not match.
    ABST2 is as of today t code. Ideally they will match.
    To fix the issue
    execute AFAR
    then execute AFAB repeat run dep.
    Normally your will asset balance will match with GL

  • Difference between Asset and Equipment

    Hi All,
    Can someone tell me the difference between Asset (Created using AS01) and Equipment (Created using IE01).
    Thanks,
    Rock

    Dear Rock,
    Asset is a financial entity managed by SAP-AA (Asset Accounting) component. Though, it has some logistic data to manage (and one can always add user-defined fields) its main purpose is to manage fixed assets as a part of the company's financial statement by applying different tools like depreciation, capitalization, retirement etc. Equipment, however, is a logistic entity which allows you to manage the logistic flow for your assets, by tracing the place of installation, managing repair/service orders, parts of equipment, etc. An equipment (or several equipments) could be linked to a financial asset. It's important to emphasize that not every equipment is a financial asset, and not every financial assets is an equipment even if you are about to implement both AA and PM in your SAP project.

    system is not allowing to transfer with value date on 01.02.2004. for this case which value date i should take? if i transfer this to new asset with current date, what is the life time and depreciation. depreciation is taken as over rem.life pro rata to zero.

  • Difference between Asset Intelligence 09A report and reports in the Software Metering folder

    Dear all,
    I can not seem to grasp the difference between Asset Intelligence 09x reports and reports in the Software Metering folder. Do they extract conclusions based on the same data and which data are those? I also have come to notice that there are occasional dicrepancies
    between them. Why would this be?

    Hi,
    1. Software metering allows you to create a rule and meter application usage very granular, when it is started, how many times , how long it has been used e.t.c, Asset intellegence doesn't require you to create any rules it will only inventory start/stop
    so you can get reports like "all computers that hasn't started a application in x days".
    2.It depends on the license agreement for that application, but yes you can get how many has started a specific application within a timeframe.
    3.No

  • PE2 - What's the difference between "cut" and "clear" in Project Assets?

    When removing items from the Project Assets area, what's the difference between "cut" and "clear"?
    Also I believe "delete" is an option at times, but I couldn't replicate it.

    Cut should Delete, but transfer that Clip to the Clipboard, where Clear will just Delete it completely - no transfer to Clipboard.
    That can be tested by doing a Cut, then move the CTI (Current Timeline Indicator) to the end of the Timeline, and hit Ctrl+V (Paste). That Deleted Clip should appear after the CTI.
    Then, clear (or choose a different Clip) the Clipboard, and try Clear. It should not Paste the Clip into the Timeline.
    Good luck,

  • Core differences between Asset intelligence and Software Metering

    Hello all,
    A small doubt,
    What all are the core differences between Asset intelligence and Software Metering.
    I am asked to implement License management for certain software in my environment using SCCM 2012 R2, where I should get the report on number of licenses of one particular software used during particular timing. Will this be possible using Software metering
    alone.
    Is there any extra cost involved in for software metering or asset intelligence?

  • Exchange rate difference between MIRO and GR/IR

    Hi,
    Exchange rate difference between MIRO and GR/IR we need to written off as a expense for imported w/off expense and in case of assets we need to post exchange rate difference to exchange fluctuation account. Currently exchange rate difference is accounting under capital work in progress(Asset)instead of exchange fluctuation.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
    Venkata Suresh

    Hi,
    At MIRO stage, after entering PO number system will automatically populate the GRN value for selection. Here if you found that invoice value, which you have received from the vendor, is more than the system proposed amount, then you can adjust that diff amount in the GL account tab, which is next to PO reference tab in MIRO.
    There enter the exch loss GL account and enter the diff amount.
    Thanks,

  • What is the programming (ABAP) difference between Unicode and non Unicode?

    What is the programming(ABAP) difference between Unicode and non Unicode?
    Edited by: NIV on Apr 12, 2010 1:29 PM

    Hi
    The difference between programming in Unicode or not Unicode is that you should consider some adjustments to make on the Program "Z" to comply with the judgments Unicode Standard.
    In the past, developments in SAP using multiple systems to encode the characters of different alphabets. For example: ASCII, EBCDI, or double-byte code pages.
    These coding systems mostly use 1 byte per character, which can encode up to 256 characters. However, other alphabets such as Japanese or Chinese use a larger number of characters in their alphabets. That's why the system using double-byte code page, which uses 2 bytes per character.
    In order to unify the different alphabets, it was decided to implement a single coding system that uses 2 bytes per character regardless of what language is concerned. That system is called Unicode.
    Unicode is also the official way to implement ISO/IEC 10646 and is supported in many operating systems and all modern browsers.
    The way of verifying whether a program was adjusted or not, is through the execution of the UCCHECK transaction. Additionally, you can check by controlling syntax (making sure that this asset verification check Unicode).
    The main decisions to adjust / replace are (examples):
    ASSIGN H-SY-INDEX TEXT TO ASSIGN <F1> by
    H-SY-INDEX TEXT (*) TO <F1>.
    DATA INIT (50) VALUE '/'. by
    DATA INIT (1) VALUE '/'.

  • Difference between Null and null?

    What is the difference between null and NULL?
    When is each used?
    Thanks,

    veryConfused wrote:
    There is a null in java, but no NULL. null means no value. However, when assigning value, the following is different:Although the empty String has no special role. Null means, the referential type is not assigned (doesn't refer) to a specific object. The empty String is just another object though, so seeing it or pointing it out as something special when it actually isn't at all (no more special than new Integer(0) or new Object[0]) just adds to the confusion.

  • Difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD

    Hi,
    Please make me clear about the difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD. In which cases we need to use these modules...??
    Thanks,
    Satish

    I would suggest to always use the GUI_UPLOAD.  I say this because this is the function module which is used in the GUI_UPLOAD method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.   Really, you should probably use the class/method instead of the function module.
      data: filename type string.
      filename = p_file.
      call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
             exporting

  • Difference between char and varchar, also the difference between varchar2

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain me the difference between char and varchar, and also the difference between varchar and varchar2...

    Varchar2 is variable width character data type, so if you define column with width 20 and insert only one character to tis column only, one character will be stored in database. Char is not variable width so when you define column with width 20 and insert one character to this column it will be right padded with 19 spaces to desired length, so you will store 20 characters in the dattabase (follow the example 1). Varchar data type from Oracle 9i is automaticlly promoted to varchar2 (follow example 2)
    Example 1:
    SQL> create table tchar(text1 char(10), text2 varchar2(10))
    2 /
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into tchar values('krystian','krystian')
    2 /
    1 row created.
    SQL> select text1, length(text1), text2, length(text2)
    2 from tchar
    3 /
    TEXT1 LENGTH(TEXT1) TEXT2 LENGTH(TEXT2)
    krystian 10 krystian 8
    Example 2:
    create table tvarchar(text varchar(10))
    SQL> select table_name,column_name,data_type
    2 from user_tab_columns
    3 where table_name = 'TVARCHAR'
    4 /
    TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME DATA_TYPE
    TVARCHAR TEXT VARCHAR2
