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.

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.
Good information are here: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/article-29513.html

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.

Changing the Accounting Method?

Hello Gurus,
I have a client that has the Primary Accounting Method set to 'Cash' in Payables.
Now they want to change it to 'Accrual'.
They have Payables, General Ledger and HRMS implemented.
I understand that Oracle does not support it.
However, has anyone done it?
Does anyone have the steps to implement this change?
Please help!
Regards,
Jay

Let me explain you why Oracle doesn't support this.
Payment accounting is depending on Invoice Accounting in Accrual Method and for Cash Method Invoice doesn't have accounting.
Lets say
Invoice Item Expense is 100.
For Cash Method:
Invoice Accounting - No
Payment Accounting - Item Expense 100dr, Cash 100cr
For Accrual Method:
Invoice Accounting - Item Expense 100dr, Liability 100cr
Payment Accounting - Liability 100dr, Cash 100cr (This Liability line is dependent on Invoice Accounting, this is called Business Flow in SLA)
As you want to change the Method from Cash to Accrual, if any payment after changing method is paying any invoice, which has accounting before the change of method will error out.
Because, Payment expects Invoice Accounting Liability Line to be present and Invoice has been accounting through Cash Method there won't be any accounting present.

Cash Based Accounting Method

Hi Experts
There are two methods of accounting, 1. Cash based Accounting Method and 2. Accrual based Accounting Method. In Cash based Accounting Method- Expenses are accounted after cash paid and Revenues are accounted after cash received. SAP is more of Accrual Based accounting system like Providision of Goods/Service received, Sales Invoice accounting etc..
My question is, Is it any specific configuration avilable for Cash based Accounting method? or we have to configure existing system for Cash based Accounting method?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

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

Is it possible to call a custom method in App Module from a backing bean?

I would like to know if a custom method in App Module can be called from inside a backing bean.
I am not sure if it is logically right to call, from a backing bean, a custom method in App Module. But would like to know if that makes sense or if it is possible.

Hi..
Yes it is possible.You have to add that method for client interface of AppModule.Now you can see that method in Data Controls(Refresh the data control). To call this method using bean it should add as method action to bindings(Click Bindings>+>methodAction>and Create action binding).
Now you can call this method in bean class.
Check following example use this concept to execute view criteria

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

Balancing the G/L accounts to the Asset Module

Hi All,
Every month after depreciation is posted I run 2 reports that compare the G/L accounts for depreciation expense to the asset module to make sure they balance.
At the end of December 2009, this report is out of balance $687K for cc:xxxx. Could you please help.
The report for the G/L is run using GL Account Balances - fiscal year 2009, reporting period 12
The report for the Asset Module is run using the Asset History Sheet (S_ALR_87011990) - Report date: 12/31/2009
Below is the result of the above reports.
CCde | PreviousMnthBal. | Debit Rept Colmn | Credt Rept Colmn| GL | AM |Adjustments |GL - AM VAR|
XXXX | 48,402,976.59 | 8,032,994.69 | 4,192,875.68 | 52,243,095.6 | (53,087,344.91)|1,531,000.00 | 686,750.69 |
Can you please give me an idea where to look for this out of balance? I know ABST2 is an option, but when I run this now, it comes up zero. I don't know how to run this for a prior year.
Thanks in advance.
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
If I understood correctly you are trying to balance Accumulated Depreciation accounts (from the AA module) with the Cost Depreciation Accounts.
If they don`t balance zero, it mostly likely means, that some user has posted manually deprecian in your GL, not using the depreciation program.
Hope this helps.

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 ,
Cheers

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.
