Accrual and account keys in pricing schema

Hi,
1.Can anyone explain the difference between accrual and account key ?
2.Whether for freight condition type (FRA1) , mandatorily we should put Accrual as FR1 and account key as FRE.?
3.Suppose I have customs also and I want to put the cost of both (custom and freight ) in one account , then whether I can put the account key FRE for both condition type or accrual I should put same ?
pls explain.
regards,

1.Can anyone explain the difference between accrual and account key ?
The account key enables the system to post amounts to certain types of
revenue account. For example, the system can post freight charges
(generated by the freight pricing condition) to the relevant freight
revenue account.
With the aid 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.
2.Whether for freight condition type (FRA1) , mandatorily we should put Accrual as FR1 and account key as FRE.?
Yes you have to have the both the key to for that but you can defin your own also...the reason you have to have that because with the accrual you can post the freight to particular account
3.Suppose I have customs also and I want to put the cost of both (custom and freight ) in one account , then whether I can put the account key FRE for both condition type or accrual I should put same ?
in this case use same account and accrual key.
If you dont define the condition as accrual then the tax is applicable on it and you can't post to particular account

Accrual and account key

HI
Can i keep account key and accrual same
Vinz

Hi
I think you are asking about the account key and Accrual key in Pricing Procedure
Any condition type which is not statistical in Pricing Procedure the value has to hit to accounts
For this account key is given in Pricing Procedure and the same is linked in VKOA with GL accounts (first account)
In case of rebates the accurals needs to be captured in separate GL account and hence Accrual key is maintained only for Rebate condition types and the same is captured in VKOA with provisional account (second account)
In standard for rebate conditon types ERB is used as account key and ERU is used as accural key
Can i keep account key and accrual same
Yes you can keep both as ERB or ERU (or both as ERJ or any key)
System will not get confused
Because Accurals ( the 16 th column in PP) the second provisional account is taken and for accounts ( the 15 th column in PP) first GL is taken in VKOA
But we will get confused
Hence it is better to keep as different keys

Accrul and Account key in Condition

Hi Experts,
I have a specific Requirement, I have created a condition thru M/06 and attached to schema thru M/08. The problem is whenever we use this condition we want that finance entry should be like below mentioned.
SUBCONT PROCESSING CHARGES DEBIT AND GR/IR CREDIT.
What accrul and account key I should use in the condition.
Full Points for helping answer.
Regards
GR

Dear Andra,
Thanks for the answer, actually in our scenario, when we sent material for subcontracting (suppose plating) vendor charges Sales Tax on 60% Value and Job Work Rate for 40% value.
(Example Say vendor charges vat / cst on inr 6/- and No Tax or service Tax on Rs 4/- if total agreed price with the vendor is Rs 10/-). Now we have thought to maintain 6/- as basic price in subcontracing info with tax code and Rs 4/- as other condition with out any tax. Now when we have made condition and incorporate in the info. But it is hitting freight clearing/ freight inward account as accrul and account key is made for freight etc.
Now If you say condition can not be made for GR/IR CR and Sub Proc charges DR, then in what way I should pass the vendor invoice thru MIRO. We don't want to post two miro for one invoice.
Please help me.
Regards
GR

PO ACCRUALS AND ACCOUNTING에 관해 자주하는 질문과 답변

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.

Accurals and account key

Hi,
I want to know differnece between accurals and account key.
Suppose for particular condition if i will have both then what will be impact..
At the time of GRn which key is coouring meand accural or accoun key.
Thx . in advance.
regards,
Rajendra D. Sawant.

As I have told   before   that this both comes in play when u have delivery cost in PO
so when u do GR or MIRO this both keys for    delivery condition type get activited
both this key are used to determine GL account for automatic determination and the setting is done in OBYC
Accurals come in to action only if u have activated purchase accounting for your company code keys used are EIN, EKG and FRE
Account key comes in action for posting freight accounts (delivery cost) for normal inventory valuation.
SO say u have activated purchase accounting for ur company code
and ur po value is
base price   1000
Freight cost 100        having FRE in Accural and FR1 in Account key
and in OBYC u have assigned    GL to EIN, EKG FRE and FRI
when u post GR
BSX     1100 +
WRX    1000 -
FR1        100 -
EIN       1100+
EKG     1000-
FRE       100 -
and    in     MIRO
Vendor 1100 -
WRX      1000 +
FR1        100 +
EIN       1100-
EKG     1000+
FRE       100 +
Accurals EIN, EKG and FRE
are        only used if purchasing accounting is activated , and is u to just get the total purchases
hope now its clear

Accural and Account Key with G/L Account

Dear Gurus,
I have confiquered new pricing schema for my client.In that i used Accounting key and Accurals.But those are not posting the amount in GL accounts.
Any Setting Missed??
Plz give some suggestions..............
thx in advance...........

Hi,
What for you are using condition type MWVS? Just check & cross check the real requirement and usage of condition type MWVS in MM schema.
May be you are using condition type MWVS for entering Input tax manually, if yes so, then Manual entries field in u2018Changes which can be made u2018segment and do it as C{Manual entry has priority}
Or ,If Manual entries field in u2018Changes which can be made u2018segment is D Not possible to process ,then have access sequence OR see the condition category, if it is D, then see where the tax need to pick up. Check Control data-2 for condition type MWVS and see the fields of Exclusion & Pricing date which make the differences. Just design MM schema with condition types by giving proper input to system to get expected result.
NOTE:
Your thread on "posting to G/L account" is already answered. If you have further any issue, start a new thread. Check & Read Forum Rules :

No Account key in pricing procedure

Dear All
I have Free goods item order. In the pricing procedure. There is no Account key mentioned in any of the condition type. This pricing procedure was created long time back, don't know when and by whom.
Now there is need to create retrun order for Free goods item.
Now when I am trying create Return order using same pricing procedure, it has asking me G/L accounts while saving sales return order. I have checked all the setting. Pricing for my item category has been set as B - 100% discount. I have copied item category used in the Free goods item order and ticked return in new item category. When I am trying to create retrun order using same pricing procedure. It is asking for G/L Account while saving the return order. when I check account assignmen. It says account key missing.
I am not able to understand, how then in the Free goods item order, it does not prompt for account key.
Can anybody save me. it si urgent.
Regards
Saurabh Gothivrekar

Hi
I got answer to my query. YOu need to specify the bill type while defining sales document type. This bill type should not have account assignment mentioned in it.
I changed the bill type, which does not have Account assignment procedure attached to it.
It has solved my problem

Freight Purchase order and Account Key

Hi All,
I am trying to create Material purchase order with freight conditions.
I am performing the below steps
1) Create Material purchase order with vendor, i am manually inserting the price for freight condition type and inserting a different freight vendor in the Freight conditions.
2) I have created new account key for freight purchases and inserted the account key against the freight condition type in Pricing procedure
3) I have added a G/L account for freight account key in OBYC
4) When i do GR the freight value is reflecting as price difference (PRD), i want this to hit the freight account. I am using Material Ledger type of valuation.
5) I am unable to do invoice (MIRO) for freight vendor, i get a message saying balance not zero.
Let me know where i am going wrong, or is there any other setting that i have missed out.
Awaiting your inputs here.
Thanks,
Regards
Raghavendra

In order to be able to also choose this freight condition in MIRO, your condition type shall have the cond. category B (delivery costs) in trs M/06.
Remember also that if you create the PO with reference to some other document (PIR, contract, another PO), then the condition records are copied to the new PO and the customising changes are not read. The same happens if the system automatically copies the conditions from the previous PO even if you haven't specified this explicitly.
You can see the condition category that is actually assigned to the condition in your PO by selecting this condition and choosing "Condition detail" beneath the table.

Requirement of creation of new condition types and Account keys tax codes

Hi,
In what all possible scenarios will the requirement to create new Condition types and accont keys arise for the creation of new depreciation keys.
Thanks
Raja.
Edited by: Raja Gopal 345 on Aug 29, 2010 1:06 PM

Unless you use jurisdiction codes, and no external tax system, for
example with tax procedure TAXUSJ, there is no validity dates for the
condition records. You can see this differnce by comparing the tables
A003 without jurisdiction codes and A053 with jurisdiction codes. A053
contains the extra fields DATBI (key field) and DATAB. This is the
standard functionality.
Please have a look at the following part of note 418582:
" Changing past percentage rates has to be inhibited in order to avoid
database inconsistencies. For this reason, the functions which allow you
to transport time-dependent tax codes with percentage rates from the
past are not supported."

What is diff between acrual key & account key

Pls let know the diff. between acrual key & Account key SD pricing procedure

Hi Prem,
In Account Key pricing procedure, Account keys are assigned to the condition types in the pricing procedures, this allows conditions
such as freight conditions to posted to special freight revenue accounts.
You can assign the Account keys using the following menu path in SPRO transaction,
Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Account Assignment/Costing -> Revenue account determination -> Define and assign account keys -> Assign
account keys.
Before doing this you need to define the Account Keys in
Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Account Assignment/Costing -> Revenue account determination -> Define and assign account keys -> Define Account key.
Accruals are considered during Rebate Agreement processing.
For example, Condition records are linked to the rebate agreement specifying the rebate rate and the accrual rate.
When the rebate -relevant billing documents are processed, accruals can be determined and posted
automatically by accessing that condition record. Corrections regarding Accurals are done using Credit memos.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Raj

Account Key Maintenance in IMG

In Pricing procedure, we have Account keys associated with the condition types. These account keys play a vital role in determining G/L accounts. Now the same association structure between pricing condition types and account key is maintained in Revenue Account Key Assignment part in IMG. My question is why do we have two places in IMG to maintain this pricing condition type and account key association structure ?

Hi
These both are same thing. In SAP apart from this(account key), you may found many settings which can be define at two or more than two places. This is due to different roles in same project. If any FI guy want to see account key settings then instead of check pricing procedure(SD settings), he/she could check revenue account settings.
