Accrual Account Categories

Dear Experts:
We have an Accrual Account for Other Liabilities which is used for posting several categories of Accruals e.g. computer maintenance, pump lease etc.
We now have a requirement to be able to track the different amoounts posted for all the different categories. But there is no way of selecting a field in fbs1 to specify such.
Can anyone suggest a good method for doing this? This could be in a similar manner to how Special G/L categories are tracked in Customer/Vendor related postings.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Is there any place holder for those categories ..can you differentiate them by any field??
Thanks,
Sai.

  • PO Creation with accrual account assignment

    We have a scenario with Insurances and Software Licences fee, since the amount is quite high, the actual quaterly fee is
    accrued every month to smoothen the effect in the books.
    When we create PO, is it possible to assigin accrual account (instead of the usual expense code) in the account assignment column? So that, during the Goods receipt the accrual account will be reversed. This accrual account would be a balance open item managed account.
    We developed the scenario through finance using a recurring entry document that automatically posts the desired values every month, but we need to make it through MM since the original invoice for the insurance or for the software must be entered through a Purchase Order.
    Thanks in advance

  • How to fix rebate accrual accounts not clearing when rebate paid?

    Automatic clearing of the rebate accrual accounts fails. The credits are created by the rebate accrual functionality. When the rebate payment is made, it should clear against the accrued items. It does not. This might be due to missing account assignment.
    what config. I should be making and where? Thanks.

    Hi Cathy
    in pricing procedure check these settings "7 in Sub total Key" , "23/24 in requirement " and "ERB for account key" , & " ERU for accrual psotings".
    may be if these settings are maintained fine it should work ,

  • Accrual account,Variance Account is invalid while PO Requsition Import.

    Hi Gurus,
    We are working on "How to set up Outside processing - Procure to use in WIP for Standard Costing" concept.While Perform a WIP Move Transaction to the OSP Step we are getting the follwoing errors
    Accrual account is invalid
    Cause: The accrual account that you entered or that was derived is invalid.
    Action: Enter a valid accrual account.
    Variance account is invalid
    Cause: The variance account that you entered or that was derived is invalid.
    Action: Enter a valid variance account.
    When we checked the "PO_REQUISITIONS_INTERFACE_ALL" table ,there is Null value for "variance_account_id","Accrual_account_id" columns.
    We checked the account setups in the "Inventory" level for "Accrual account" and "Variance Account",everything is fine.
    Please provide me solution for resolving this issue.
    Thanks
    SR.

    I think  the value you are passed for ACCRUAL_ACCOUNT_ID and VARIANCE_ACCOUNT_ID  are Invalid.
    Please check 
    SELECT * FROM GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS WHERE CODE_COMBINATION_ID =  < value of Accrual A/c id >
    Record should exists in GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS table.

  • Cash vs Accrual Accounting method

    Hi,
    Looking for documents related to accounting entries and accounting events for Cash accounting method. What will be the accounting impact if you use cash basis or Accrual accounting method.
    Thanks in Advance

    Cash Accounting is for small business and based that the income/expense is accounted after the payment of the transactions.
    This is a special legal regulary for some business in different countries (e.g. in Germany if the revenue < 500.000,00 Euro)
    Normal Oracle customer must be used Accrual method.

  • Accrual Accounting Method  in MM module

    Hello, experts.
    We have to implement Accrual Accounting Method in our company, showing displaying forecast amounts on G/L accounts due to liabilities appearing in current period, however we have not yet any goods and invoice received. It is implied that for proper reflection of sums on accounts, preliminary posting of documents in MM, including GR, IR, GI, Transfer, using forecast data (e.g. quantity and amount) should be run for proper closing of period. After we received actual data, these documents should be cancelled, and new ones have to be posted using actual data in next period.
    For instance, in our case we deal with gas. We have not yet received it on our stock location, and not yet received an invoice. However, we already have to display appropriate sums on GR/IR account, materials account, and vendoru2019s account, using forecast data. Further movement of material is expected as well, consecutive transfer, goods issue, sales. And all this should be reflected in FI module. After we received actual material and actual invoice, all previous action should be rolled back and documents should be posted properly, considering further movements as well.
         The way is to post all preliminary documents, then cancel all them, and post again using actual data in next period. In this case, extra batches are created and moved, and probably other issues may arise, such as reflecting those documents in reports, differing forecast postings from actual postings, maybe something else.
    What would you advise in order to fulfill this? Maybe there are standard tools to use. If so, could you please give us as much information on this as possible?
    Thanks in advance.

    Set the condition type as 'Accrual' relevant for the respective pricing procedures (MM & SD).  Then in the pricing procedure, define an account key in the accrual column and then define a GL account for the Accrual account key in the Account determination.
    The transactions will be posted to Accrual accounts and then transfered to actual account when the event realizes.  Speak to your MM and SD consultants on this.

  • Doc Splitting in Accrual Account

    Hi there,
    Document splitting won't work for the entries below,
    Debit: Expenses     cost center A/profit center A       100
    Debit: Expenses     cost center B/profit center B       100
    Credit: Accrual                                                        200
    The document splitting function won't work for the accrual account, any idea?
    Thank you.

    Dear MS CINCAU,
    In the following node,
    SPRO > Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting
    Check, what is the category that has been assigned to the Accrual account. This should be “01000”
    Also check if in the following node
    SPRO > Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Classify Document Types for Document Splitting
    Whether the document type which you are using to post this accrual document is given the “Business Transaction” – “0000” and the variant used is “0001.”
    In case both are there, then please give what is the document splitting method used in
    SPRO > Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting >Activate Document Splitting

  • Entering a PO for Asset and Accrual accounts

    Hi,
    We need to enter purchase order for an Asset & Accrual accounts which do not belong to either a cost center, nor a
    work order.We are now entering these invoices without going thru the PO System.
    Any suggestions on this issue would be helpful.
    Thanks

    For accruals, you make an accrual entry which would Debit expense / Credit Liability,
    and then the following month that entry will reverse. These are usually set up as automatic reversing entries. Then
    when the AP invoice is processed, it will be coded to the expense account which is a Debit to Expense and Credit to
    Vendor, but since there will be an accrual reversal posted in the same account they will offset and if equal, net out to
    zero, if the amounts differ, then that difference hits the P/L at that point. It is clean and efficient. You don't have to
    review the accrual account to match up payments against accruals, etc.
    We cannot directly post to the Fixed Assets Balance Sheet Accounts. The PO would need to be
    coded directly to an Asset number, or to an internal order that would settled to the Fixed Asset system. The best
    practice SAP offers for capital expenditures is to use internal order for all purchases. The amounts post to the order,
    and are then settled to the balance sheet sytematically. This give you better reporting capabilites on your capital
    expenditures, and also makes the process run more efficiently.
    This is what I found in one of the other forums.

  • Accrual Account Key change for Condition type

    We have different Condition types assigned to Account Keys
    Example:
         Condit Type Account Key  Accrual
           FMA1               ZPP               ZP2
           FMA2               ZPP               ZP2
           FMA3               ZPP               ZP2
    I need to change GL account for FMA2 Condition type. I only need to change for accruals on FMA2. Please let me know how I can do it in "Prepare Revenue Accounts and change GL in VKOA.
    Your help is appreciated. Let me know if need any further information.
    Thanks
    Jaggi

    hi..
    If the accrual is ticked in condition type in M/06, it should have an account key assigned to the condition type in the pricing procedure in M/08.
    Go to your contion type ZPFV and check whether you have checked Accrual or not..
    then go to ur pricing procedure ZUELOC and check the last two colums for your condito type i.e. Account Key and Accrual Key.
    Maintain these..
    try this if it works.
    Thanks...

  • Accounting and Accrual keys in MM pricing

    Hi,
    Why there were no Accounting and Accrual keys maintained for Condition types PB00 and PBXX in standard Pricing schema?
    And why they assigned to only freight related condition types?
    Basically what is the funda to assign both the Accounting and Accrual keys to any condition type?
    Thanks
    Anbu

    Hi,
    Account key
    Account key is mainly used for Frieghts.Account key enables amount to post to certain revenue accounts, for example freight charges. When you add freight related condition types, it will be added to separate G/L accounts, means this will not be added to material price.
    Accruals key:
    Accruals mean accumulating,with the addition of the account key, the system can post amounts to certain types of accruals accounts. For example, rebate accruals which are calculated from pricing conditions can be posted to the corresponding account for rebate accruals.

  • PO ACCRUALS AND ACCOUNTING에 관해 자주하는 질문과 답변

    제품 : MFG_PO
    작성날짜 : 2004-02-11
    PO ACCRUALS AND ACCOUNTING에 관해 자주하는 질문과 답변
    ==========================================
    PURPOSE
    PO를 생성하고 Receipt를 하는 과정에서 Accruals Accounting이 발생하게
    되나 이 Accruals Accounting의 의미를 정확히 모르는 경우가 많다.
    이 note를 통해 Accruals Accounting의 의미와 관련 Setup,Report 등을
    알 수 있다.
    Explanation
    1.'Accrue On Receipt'과'Accrue at Period End'의 차이점은 무엇인가?
    'Accrue On Receipt' 의미는 receipt 저장시 accrual trasnactions이 즉시
    기록되면서 general ledger interface(GL_INTERFACE) table로 보내진다.
    이것은 'online' accruals라고도 알려져 있다.
    'Accrue at Period End'의 의미는 receipt 저장시 accrual transactions이
    즉시 기록되지 않으며 gederal ledger로 보내지지도 않는다. 대신 accounting
    entries는 월말에 'Receipt Accruals - Period-End' process를 실행에 의해
    generate되며 GL로 이때 보내지게 된다.
    Destination Type이 'Inventory and Outside Processing'이 모든 Items은
    'accrue on receipt' option을 가지며, destination type이 'expense'인
    items은 'accrue on receipt'이나 'accrue at period end' options 둘 다를
    가질 수 있다.
    Period-end accrual과 online accruals을 조회시 이용할 수 있는 report는?
    Period-end accruals: The Uninvoiced Receipts Report
    Online accruals: The Accrual Rebuild Reconciliation Report.
    이 online accruals transacion은 Uninvoiced Receipts
    Report parameter 'include online accruals' 값을
    'Yes'로 check하여 실행하면 Uninvoiced Receipts에 포함 될
    수도 있다.
    3.Receipt 입력후 receipt accruals이 실행되거나 period-end process를 실행
    시킨후에도 새로운 journal이 GL에서 보이지 않는경우가 있다.이런 경우
    Transaction의 자동으로 GL에 나타나야 하지 않을까?
    PO에서 발생한 Transaction은 오직 GL_INTERFACE table로만 보내진다.
    Journal을 생성하거나 GL에서 이를 보기 위해서는 GL에서 Journal Import
    Concurrent가 수행되고,record가 성공적으로 GL로 import 되었음을 확인해야
    한다.
    4.GL에 있는 각각의 Journal이 Period-end accrual인지 On receipt accrual
    인지 어떻게 알 수 있을까?
    Period-end나 online accrual entries 모두 같은 GL batch안에 포함된다.
    하지만 Period-end process에 의해 생성된 Journals은 'Accrual category를
    갖게 되며, Online accrual에 의해 생성된 Journals은 'Receiving' caterogry
    를 갖게 된다.
    다음은 도움을 위해 지원되는 technical table-level 정보이다.
    Table: GL_INTERFACE
    Column : USER_JE_SOURCE_NAME = Purchasing
    Column : USER_JE_CATEGORY_NAME = Accrual (for period-end accruals)
    USER_JE_CATEGORY_NAME = Receiving (for online accruals)
    Table: GL_JE_HEADERS
    Column : JE_SOURCE = Purchasing
    JE_CATEGORY = Accrual (for period-end accruals)
    JE_CATEGORY = Receiving (for online accruals)
    5.PO shipment를 received 하고 이 PO를 cancel하였음에도 Uninvoiced
    Receipts report에서 볼 수 있고 매달 Period-end process에 의해 accrue도
    된다.Cancel을 했음에도 왜 이런 현상이 발생하는가?
    PO가 header,line,shipment level로 cancel 할 때, 오직 unrereceived 수량만
    실제로 cancel된다. Cancellation은 이미 received 된 수량에 대해서는 영향
    을 주지 않으며,Obligation은 여전히 이 receipt에 남아있다.
    만약 received 수량과 invoived(billed)된 수량이 같거나 혹은 PO shipment에
    대해 어떤 receipt도 입력되지 않았다면, cancellation은 Shipment의
    Canceled flag를 'Yes'로 set하고 Closure Status를 'Closed'로 set 한다.
    이런 경우, 아무런 accrual transaction도 generate 되지 않는다.
    만약 received 수량과 invoiced된 수량이 같지 않으면,cancellation은
    Shipment의 Cancelled flag를 'Yes'로 set하지만 Closure Status는 현재의
    Status로 남겨둔다.(not 'Closed')
    Received 수량과 Invoiced 수량과의 차이는 Uninvoiced Receipts report에
    나타나며,이는 invoice가 전체 received 수량에 match 되거나 received
    item이 Supplier에게 return 되기 전까지 각 달마다 accrue가 지속적으로
    될 것이다.
