Accrual Set Up

Hi,
I have created a accrual plan and attached the accrual element to my employee element entries. I want to see the plan details on the employee time card as well. I know we have a Preference for showing the same, I want to know what is the values we need to enter when adding this preference.
The error which i am getting is as follows, am i missing some set up step
Hide Accrual Balances
No balances have been setup to display. Contact your System Administrator.
The values I give in prefence node is
Pref Nme - Timecard allows display of Accrual Balances
Display Balances - Yes
Element Set - selected the element set having my absence element (not accrual element)
Accrual eval date - Time card end date
accrual function - oracle HR
Please help
Thanks

Please refer to the HXT.H about document and the following notes on Metalink:
301404.1 -- Can Accrual (PTO) Balance be displayed on OTL Self Service
301827.1 -- Cannot Get Accrual Balances To Display On Self Service

The replies above need some clarification>
When summmarized = 1 is ticked on it mens the following:
When a quantitative characteristic is set up with the control indicator of "individual results", and the sampling procedure calculates a sample size of 1, then the characteristic will be treated as if it was set up with "summarized" results.
Sumit was correct but to be clear, it is only where the sample size is 1, not for all instances of using the characteristic. I'm sure he felt that that you should figure out that it was for a sample size fof 1 only.
Swarnali, in the second reply, is slightly confusing because with individual results recording set you usually are indicating you want to record multiple resutls. So saying that when its ticked off it allows this is kind of confusing. If the sample size is two or more you'd be able to record as many results as you want. If it calculates a value of one sample, then with this on, it gets treated as a summarized characteristic and he is correct that now, you couldn't record multiple results.
Both are correct however, but I was confused a bit myself by the replies so I thought I'd add some clarification. I hope they don't mind. Please award them any points.

VAT tax accruals, set off and G/L recording

Hi,
We have a requirement as follows:
1. When we receive the invoice from the vendor, then in MIRO (or F-43 or FB10, whatever we may use) this VAT amount needs to post to a certain G/L account, say 'X'. for VAT accruals - I assume we can achieve this in OMWB.
2. When we pay the invoice, the same amount needs to move to another G/L we want to keep as Vat Clearing account, say 'Y'
3. At the end of the month, we need to move this amount from 'Y' to another one 'Z', as Prepaid VAT
While 1 seems straightforward, I need some guidance on how to achieve 2 and 3. Appreciate any help...
Many thanks.

Hi Suma,
The only way in which you can get differences between FA and GL is if someone has posted manually into the GL accounts (assuming that the assets/GL were correct at the beginnign of the year. Actually, you could also have depreciation posting jobs that have not posted properly, so you cna check that up as well.
So there are a few things you can do - check that all the asset GL accounts are set up as asset recon accounts (i.e. you cannot post to them manually)
Then you can check the GL accounts for funny document types (SA, AB etc.) - check for any postings made using journals, not asset purchase, scrap, depreciation etc.
Assuming you find them, you need to find out who made those postings and why. After you have shot them you can reverse those postings and your assets and GL should be in balance again.
Hopefully those should find your problem for you.

Tony

Hi
Can any one tell Reversal Reason Report
for eg:-

20 Reversal Closing year
30
40
50
60
like some any reversal reasons as any client requirment if i enter 10 how many documents reversal
pls help

Hi SAi,
I dont see any where those reversal reasons..you have some of the standards here mentioned..
01     Incorrect Posting - Current Period
02     Incorrect Posting - Prior Period
03     Reversal of Accruals/Set-ups
04     Actual reversal in closed period
05     Accrual
06     Actual Reversal - Current Period
07     Actual Reversal - Prior Period
Apart from these if you want yes, you can always create new reasons and its your wish how you define, it does mean that you should give 10, 20, 30, 40....
Hope understood and you can assign points if you are cleared.
Thanks,

GR posting with user-made accountdetermination

Hello,
I have the next problem:
In account determination for purchasing I have created a new transaction type with acoounts and all other customizing. So, this is working fine.
Recently, I changed the accounts and got when booking the goods receipt for a purchase order message F5 672 'GL account & & not consistent. With a lot of debugging I discovered my tranaction type was treated as a freight transaction (X156W-BUZID = 'F'). For solving the issue I have to change the account, so the setting 'Only balances in local currency' is active.
We're going to use the account to make some postings, which will be claimed by a vendor. This vendor can have all currencies. I don't believe I can just create postings for all currencies on an account, which is set to 'Only balances in local currency'.
Who can explain this to me or can help me customize the system in a way, the setting doesnot have to be done?
With kind regards,
Mari Barten

Hello Phyllis,
The purchasing condition is not a freight condition.
The proces, in which this condition is used, reserves some money on a account, which is later given to the customer by lowering the sales price in the sales order. It looks like a rebate, but is implemented as a sales deal. The discount given to the customer is in a way funded by the vendor. The purchasing condition is created for this purpose as a discount with 'Accruals' set. In the calculation schedule, the condition type has no special settings like 'manual' or 'statistical'.
I've been debugging and I think, because the transaction type is not in table T156W, the identification of a previous key is taken over. This key is FRX for posting string BNKR or key FEX for posting string BNKG. Both have identification 'F', which clearly to me stands for freight (delivery costs). See the documentation on data element BUZID.
However, your explanation makes clear, that an invoice in foreign currency is no problem and that posting the goods receipt is always in local currency. With lokking at the documentation of 'Only balances in local currency'I think I have an argument to convince the users to do this, because of the exchage rate difference which can occur when clearing the account.
The claiming of the discount with the vendor is not a daily business, but more on a weekly or monthly base.
I still wonder if it is possible in some way to create extra entries for tabel T156W and what the contents of the different fields should be to get the right settings for a discount condition.
With kind regards,
Mari Barten

Rebate process - Accruals to be set as scales

Hi Experts,
I am facing problem when i set accruals. In rebate, accruals gets calculated for settlement can i set scales for accruals? since i set scales for rates not for accurals. for insatnce i have to give accruals based on scale values as mentioned below how to do it?
10000 - 2%
15000 - 3%
20000 - 5%
This above mentioned persentage are accruals which has to be accrued based on the base values if my PR00 condition is 30000 accrual should be 5% how can i configure this. Please let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
S.Nirmal

hi,
this is to inform you that,
yes, you can set slabs for accurals also but you need to talk to your ABAPER and open the field called ACCURALS where first field is open and remaining are GRAYED - VBO2 if you press ladder icon in it.
Based on the base values : for this also you need to talk to an ABAPER for a altering of pricing routine in pricing procedure.
please check and confirm.

Need Step-By-Step for help for setting up accruals for online payslip.

Thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide.
I am attempting to setup accruals to show on the online payslip in 11.5.10.2. I have read through the documentation and followed the steps, however the vacation accruals continue not to show on the online payslip. Consultants implemented this system originally but did not setup vacation accruals to show on the online payslips. Online Payslips are working, but the accruals are not showing, they were never set up to.
We have done the following:
-US Super HRMS Manager-Work Structures- Organization- Description
-Selected our Organization- Others- Payslip Information
-Under Additional Organization Information- Setup the vacation accrual as:
Type: Element
Element Name: Vacation accrual
Input Value: Hours
Display Name: Vacation accrual
-We have run a payroll in TEST and viewed the online payslip for an employee, but the vacation accrual portion does not show.
Are there additional steps I am missing?
Thank You!

You don't say which router you use but I guess it is not a VLAN Router. The SRW is a L2 switch. It separates VLANs on ethernet level. If you want to make some sense out of that you'll need a VLAN router or L3 switch to which you trunk all those VLANs and which routers the traffic to the internet and between the VLANs. The SRW cannot do that. It separates the VLANs but it cannot join them or route traffic between them. Routing is a task of a router or L3 switch.

Help Needed !!!!! in New Hire Proration and Carryover (PTO Accruals)

Dear All,
We are facing a problem in Accrual formula where
Accrual Term is 1-July to 30 June
Accruing Multiplier is 'M'
Accruing Frequency is 3 Months
Accrual Rate is 5 Days
Employee gets Leave at the end of each quarter
1st Quarter (July-Aug-Sep) - 5 Days
2nd Quarter (Oct - Nov - Dec) - 5 Days
3rd Quarter (Jan - Feb - Mar) - 5 Days
4Th Quarter (Apr - May - Jun) - 6 Days
Total 5+5+5+6 = 21 Days
This accrual Plan is working fine for employees joining before the accrual start date of 1-Jul or employees joining on the first date of the first month of any quarter.
But for any employee joining after 1-Jul we should get the prorated leave entitlement
We have identified and developed the logic for the number of days a new joinee would accrue if he joins in the middle of a Accrual period. I am detailing out the following logic
The SQL for this is as follows
SELECT (ROUND((21/365*(fffunc.days_between(:Hire_date,:Current_accrual_Period_End_Date)+1))/5,1)*5)*-1 FROM DUAL
My query to all Fastformula Gurus is that how can i incorporate this leave proration logic for employees joining in the middle of the accrual period into my Accrual Fastformula.
Any help is appreciated guys.
If anyone wants to look at the code for the Accrual fastformula, you guys can Message me on the forum
Cheers
Sachin

To achieve your requirement, you need to change the accrual sub formula PTO_PAYROLL_PERIOD_ACCRUAL. Follow the below steps.
A.Create a pl/sql function :
1. Create a new Pl/Sql Function in similar lines with parameters as p_assignment_id, p_date_earned, p_plan_id and p_number_of_years;
2. The new function should call the pl/sql function per_utility_functions.Get_Accrual_Band passing values of p_plan_id and p_number_of_years.
3. After the above function call, invoke your custom procedure to get the accrual value based on grade (passing p_assignment_id and p_date_earned as parameters).
4. call the procedure per_formula_functions.set_number to set the ceiling value.
So overall your function should like this
FUNCTION <function name>(p_assignment_id NUMBER,p_date_earned DATE,p_plan_id NUMBER, p_number_of_years NUMBER ) RETURN NUMBER IS
< variables declaration>
l_ceiling number;
BEGIN
l_return := per_utility_functions.Get_Accrual_Band(p_plan_id,p_number_of_years);
IF l_return = 1 THEN
return l_return;
ELSE
l_return := <your custom function>(p_assignment_id,p_date_earned,l_ceiling);
l_error := per_formula_functions.set_number('CEILING' ,l_ceiling);
END IF;
END <function name>;
l_error := per_formula_functions.set_number('CEILING' ,l_ceiling);
B. Create a Formula Function with the above pl/sql function with p_assignment_id, p_date_earned, p_plan_id as context usages and p_number_of_years as parameter.
C. Copy the Formula PTO_PAYROLL_PERIOD_ACCRUAL and replace the entry of Get_Accrual_Band with your custom formula function defined in step B.
D. Copy the formula PTO_PAYROLL_BALANCE_CALCULATION and replace the entry of PTO_PAYROLL_PERIOD_ACCRUAL with your custom formula defined in step C.
Hope this helps.

Sharath

Absence Quota generation / Accruals

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to configure Absence Quotas with the below mentioned rules.
1. To be eligible for PTO you must be on the payroll at least 6 months at which time 20 hours of Paid Time Off is granted.
2. In the second year of employment an employee will receive 5.58 hours of PTO per pay period.
3. The accrual rate increases with continued years of service. After 5 years of employment the accrual rate is 7.11 hours per pay period. See the chart below:
Years     PTO Hours
1                  20 Hours
2 - 4            145 Hours       (5.58 hours per pay period)
5+               185 Hours       (7.11 hours per pay period)
A maximum of 240 PTO hours (6 weeks) may be accumulated.
Can you please advise if it's possible to automatically (using Time Evaluation) generate 20 hours of quota in one go after 6 months, and then after 1 year is completed, the quota accrual starts happening every pay period. If it's possible, then please advise me how can this be achieved.
Any kind of help is really appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Ashish Maini

Hi,
In table V_T559L you can set up to do the accrual based on a time type and using a rule, you can check based on infotype 41 when to generated it.

PO Accruals and closing Purchasing periods

Hi, can anybody confirm how many purchasing periods should be open at any one time. We are having a problem with the accruals and I am trying to understand the correct procedure for re-setting the purchasing accruals. I am aware that by closing the purchasing period you re-set the previously accrued receipts. Does it matter if I have periods 8,9,10 open and then close period 8 before opening period 11 to re-set the accruals.
Thanks
Keith

If you are asking the best practice, then here it is.
Ideally Inventory & Purchasing periods should be closed very month.
So only one "should" be open.
Thanks & Regards

Interest accrual method calculation for loan interest

Hello,
Our company is using the Trsy module for intercompany loans with these settings on the deal:
- Interest calculation method of 7 360/360
- Linear Interest Calculation and the
- Pro Rata Temporis Calculation selected for both the first and last period.
Quite possibly with the last support pack update earlier this spring we are now getting the months of the year to calculate the interest expense/accrual differently for certain months when we expected an even accrual each month.
AD1005 is the update type used by TPM44.
Do you know of an additional setting needed to make each month accrue the same amount?
Thank you very much,
Ron Pruitt

Hi Ron
It could be that you are getting a different number of days than expected because of the default setting in TPM1 with including/excluding the beginning and end date. For instance, let me explain:
TPM1 takes the beginning of the calculation period as included and the end as excluded - this means that, for example,
           from    28.02.2011 inclusive
             to      31.03.2011 exclusive
is, in fact, 31 days with calculation method 360/360.
Your expectation would be that
          from    28.02.2011 exclusive
            to      31.03.2011 inclusive
which gives 30 days.
TPM1 calculates it in a different way, so this might be why the number of days might differ in this case.
If I have misunderstood your issue, please let me know.

M Trein

Automatically generate accruals for Parked Invoices

Dear SAP Gurus,
I am currently in the process of trying to improve our month end accrual process.
We currently have a standard process where we issue a PO, book in the delivery and then process the invoice. Occasionally we have instances where the invoice is received before the GRN is completed (the goods havent actually arrived or a User has forgottent to book in the Goods Receipt).
In this instance we park the invoice and then complete once the GRN has been booked in.
My question is is it possible to automatically accrue these parked invoices at month end without having to download and then post via a journal?
Is there some way of using the accrual engine to account for these parked invoices at month end?
Thank you for you time.
Regards
John

Hello.
To initiate a new payment batch, enter criteria for the invoices you want to pay. Payables selects all invoices that match your invoice selection criteria and that are ready for payment.
You can initiate payment batches from either the Payment Batches window or the Payment Batch Sets window. You can also schedule payment batch sets to automatically submit at regular intervals.
And yes, the payment batches consist on standard concurrent requests. You can access payment batches by naviganting to Payments/Entry/Payment Batches.
As you know, you can classify your suppliers in a Payment Group. Suppose you have, lets say, 150 suppliers, all belonging to the same Payment Group. All invoices from these suppliers can be paid on a single payment batch.

Month end accrual posting date- Last day of the month

Hi Experts,
I have set up month end accruals for PY US by configuring posting dates, LDCD, WageType accrual processing class, Schema changes. I have also set the closing dates as the end of the month.
Now after I do the posting , there are three documents getting generated.
1. Accrual posting document with first day of the current month
2. Normal Payroll posting document with payroll period posting date
3. Accrual reversal document with first day of the following month.
My Question is: As per standard SAP configuration, the month end accrual will have first day of the month. Can we customize this to end of the month for doc#1 - accrual document?
Please do let me know your suggestion and ideas.
Thanks,
Amosha

Hello,
I have a similar question and I hope to have more details on how to change the posting date.
The point is that I have an amount of 1200 and I have to post 100 for each month.
Key Date for Accruals: 31.01.2011
I posted 100 with Document date: 31.01.2011 and Posting date 31.01.2011
Key Date for Accruals: 28.01.2011
I posted 200 with Document date: 28.02.2011 and Posting date 28.02.2011
Also I reversed the amount posted in the previous month (100) with Document date: 31.01.2011 Posting date 28.02.2011
And so on...
The problem are the dates because I need to post the amount at the end of each month (28/02) and to reverse the previous amount at the beginning of the next month (01/02).
How can I change these dates?
Thanks a lot in advance
Kind Regards,

Transfer of Accrual liability to GL

Hi All,
As per the user guide an employer liability element should be created. This classification is missing in the Global HRMS Manager responsibility we are using. Is this a setup issue?
Thanks in Advance for your help.
Supriya

Hi Sharath,
Managing Total Compensation Using Oracle HRMS (US) guide - Chapter 6 Absence Management and PTO Accruals.
To set up costing of PTO accrual liability:
1. In the Element window, define an employer liability element. The only required input value is the pay value.
2. In the Balance window, create a liability balance fed by the pay value of the element you created in the previous step.
Thanks & Regards,
