Alternate Recon A/c

Hi
pls explain alternate recon a/c and where we need to assign in which t-code ans what is the purpose of it?
mallikarjuna

Hi
In this step, you define accounts in which the postings to a customer account are managed in the general ledger. The posting is automatically made to these accounts instead of to the normal reconciliation account.
Note
The specification is dependent on account type, special G/L indicator, chart of accounts and reconciliation account.
Activities
1. Specify the number of the alternative reconciliation account.
2. Make sure that the account is created.

Spl gl / alternate recon / true co obj / stats co obj relationship & setup

hi,
i quite confused of the following and i do hope to get explanation if there is any RELATIONSHIP of these 3 and also where and how to create/setup:
1 special gl acc
2 alternate recon acc
3 what should i consider the statement below? it is account assignment? account determination? or what?
When entering an expense item for an operating expense, you must also enter one true CO object. This means that when the item is posted, a CO document is created as well as an FI document. The CO document posts the costs corresponding to the expense to the true CO object.
As well as the true CO object, you can also enter additional statistical CO objects to which the costs are statistically posted (which means they are "not allocatable").
thanks

HI Eliana,
To the third question...
We do link FI with CO through Cost elements.
When ever the expense account is to be linked with the Controlling, we create the expense account as the Primary cost element in FS00.
When the expense has to be assigned to any of the cost object, such as cost center, Internal order, WBS element etc.. we do the account assignment while posting the document.
What it does is the expense will be linked to the Cost object.
When you assign the Expense to two different cost objects..ex: cost center and Internal order.... the real posting will be done to the Internal order and the statistical posting will be done to the Cost center.
Later on when you can settle IO to the Cost center.
When talking about the relation ship among three...
Sp gl account will be created for the Down payments, Guarentees etc., for these we will be creating Spl Reconciliation Ac and will be linked to the Original reconciliation account (OBXR, OBYR), which is FI specific.
Whereas the third one is Controlling specific..
Thanks and regards,
Sri

Alternate recon acc

hi,
i understand of the alternate recon acc. now i need clarification of this :
1) somehow, this down payment that posted to alternate recon acc will be cleared and the full amount (down payment + invoice balance balance) will be posted to actual gl recon acc, right?
2) alternate recon acc no influential to normal company account, right?
3) can i say it is also something like clearing account?
When u make a down payment
Down Pyament(Vendor Spl. Gl account) Dr.
Cash/Bank Cr.
When Down payment is settled against an invoice
Material Account Dr.
Down Pyament(Vendor Spl. Gl account) Cr.
Vendor Account Cr.
thanks

1. u have the clearing t-code for all the down payment postings ( f-39)
2.the DP a/c is a BS account.... this amount will be shown in diff bucket but it is not treated as revenue by company so no PL entry for this. also it reduces the credit exposure for the customers.
3. it is a recon a/c. used to hold the amounts received in lieu of revenue but not posted as revenue.

Vendor Downpayment with Alternative Recon Account

Dear All,
Could we change the recon account while doing the down payments vendor/customer.
Is there any why please replay me.
Regards

Hi,
Make the necessary configuration in the Tcode FBKP - Special GL indicator- Vendor Downpayment.
You have to maintain the Alternate GL account against the Normal Vendor Reconciliation Account.
When u insert this Special GL while making vendor downpayment, the system will pick the Alternate Recon account maintained against Reconciliation of the Vendor Master in the Tcode FBKP.

Recon

hi,
would like to ask as below
1) say vendor account. when make payment to vendor, the payable amount will reduce. the same goes to vdr recon acc? say payable 10k. when payment made, 10k will net off from vendor acc. when posting, vendor recon acc will also reduce by 10k, right?
2) customer account also the same right? when received, cust acc will be net off and cust recon acc will also be reduced. right?
3) what about spl gl acc and alternate recon acc? say down payment, when invoice receive, the down payment amount in spl gl acc will be net off and post to real vendor acc. may i know at the same time the same downpayment amount in alternate recon acc also will be reduced?
4) why need alternate recon acc for spl gl acc? what is that for? real vendor/customer account with the corresponding recon acc in gl, this can be understood but what about this spl gl acc with alternate recon acc.
thanks

Hi,
When we make a down payment to vendor, it is an asset for us (since we have given an advance, untill we receive an invoice for the same, it should be treated as asset)
Now, we have a Reconciliation a/c in vendor master- which is Accounts Payable (comes under Liabilities). whatever transactions we post to the vendor master, it also parallelly updated in recon. a/c.
In general accounting process, an advance that we are making to the vendor, will be posted like this:
Advance paid Dr
Bank Cr.
But, when you see the schedule of this advance paid a/c, you would not come know, against which vendor we have paid advance.
The flexibility of using Spl GL indicator makes the difference here. when you are using a special Gl indicator-it posts to the same Advance paid a/c, but we also have an additional feature of tracking advances vendor wise.
Coming to your question - why two accounts in OBYR.
as we discussed, first a/c is a normal reco a/c where all the general transactions are posted
Second a/c is asset a/c(Advance paid).
So, at any point of time, if you take the financial reports/vendor reports, the liabilities/assets/vendor ledger are shown with full info.
Hope i am clear there.

Recon Acct and Vendor Acct not tele.

Hi Experts
My report in FBL3N and FBL1N not same.
In FBL3N I only key in the;
G/L Code          : 1234
Company Code : MY01
Open Item date : 30.06.2009
In FBL1N I key in the;
Recon account in dynamic selection : 1234
Company code;                                   : MY01
Open item date same as FBL3N          : 30.06.2009
If I extract the report for normal item then the report is same. If I check the noted item and special G/L transactions then the report is not same. I guess the FBL3N is not capturing the noted items and special G/L transactions.
Is the any table to get the report same as in FBL1N?
Thanks
Edited by: krishmenth on Nov 12, 2009 4:04 AM

Hi,
All the special GL Transactions are stored in Altenate Reconciliation Account.
Example:
If you posted down payment to vendor this transaction getting stored initially in alternate recon account. Once you transfer this from alt recon to normal recon account the recon account will get updated with this transaction.
Until there is a difference between Vendor Report(FBL1N) and GL Report(FBL3N).

for the UINX and PC to select the file
             Now can anyone lte me know shall i need to use BDC or is there any BAPI for RECON account or
             shall i need to go for LSMW..
                             Ypur inputs will be helpful
Thank you
Regards
Sandy

Hi Prem,
In OBYR, say for K(ie: vendors), for a special GL indicator - A, we maintain the mapping between the Recon account maintained in vendor master to an alternate recon account which we want to be posted in case the posting is made with special GL indicator A
So, if you give one Recon account and map it to multiple special GL account, how will the system choose which recon account to pick up. For that 1:1 & N:1 relation is possible but 1:N is NOT possible.
Hope this helps.

Supplement Auto Posting/Recon. acct ready for input

Hi SapGurus,
I need help, i want to know the details like as why and when to use in which type of GL
1) Supplementary Auto Posting
2) Recon. Acct ready for input.
As the difference between Recon. account for acct type (like K,D,A etc.) and Recon. Acct ready for input.
Regards.
Tej

Hi,
1. Supplement for Auto Postings : This can be used when a GL Account determined by automatic Account assignment is to be replaced manually. If you do not have this tick in the GL, you cannot change GL's which are generated by automatic posting.
2. Recon Account Ready for Input : This is used in case of Alternate Reconciliation Accounts. The Recon Account is usually entered in the vendor/Customer master and all postings happen to that GL's only. But in case for a single Vendor, you want to post in different Recon Accounts at run time, then you need to config the alternate recon accounts and mark this field"Recon Account ready for input' in GL master in FS00.
When you mark a GL for Recon Account type for A, K, D then that GL is marked as Reconciliation Account, but when you tick the Recon Account ready for input tick, then this Recon Account can be changed in run time at the time of posting.

FBL5N for Alternate Reconciliation Accounts

Hi all,
I have created two reconciliation accounts for one single customer and posted entries using original recon account as well as alternate reconciliation account.
But when I draw FBL5N, and in the dynamic selection criteria enter the alternate reconciliation account, and execute, I am getting the message that no item exists. But when I am not entering any account there or even when I enter the original Reconciliation Account, I am getting all the items in the report including entry for Alternate recon account.
Could you please let me know how to draw reports for different reconciliation accounts?
Thanks & Regards,
Sajan C P

Hi Sajan,
Try this route:
SAP Easy Access: AR>Info systems>Reports for AR Accountg>Customer Balance> S_ALR_87012172
Here you can once use the recon acct under further selections, click on normal balance under output control,
then again use alternate recon acct under further selections and click on Spcl GL balances under output control
But you will see only balaances, not line items
Try if this solves your problem

Alternate / spl gl

hi,
2 points for my question in q1 q2 and q3.
1 in FS00 Gl master record and assign the equivalent local GAAP gl account in the ALTERNATIVE ACCOUNT NUMBER filed.
2 SPl GL accounts r recon a/c and BS.
double entry will be similar to normal posting... what the differene is that posting will goto ALTERNATEe recon A/C instead of main recon a/c of the customer/vendor.........
u can see the config in FBKP
q1) alternative and alternate the same? if same,which means alternate recon acc is defined in FS00?
q2) if i create a spl gl acc, this spl gl acc is an alternate recon account, right?
q3) may i know if spl gl account (alternate recon acc) must assign to a company code gl account like in point 1 below?
thanks

Hi Eliana,
For this you craete a new chart of account like USGA.
In this chart of account you create the ALTERNATIVE ACCOUNT NUMBERS.
In your normal chart of account you assign these numbers.
The chart account USGA is only set-up on chart account level not on COMPANY CODE level.
When don't make this assignment it is only an information field

Customer down payment request in F-37

Hello,
We have configured alternate recon accounts for down payments from customer in TC: OBXR. Here, we have config. spl GL indicators like F (down payment request) and A(Down payment) alongwith recon accounts. When i am posting down pay request in TC: F-37 system is displaying spl GL indicator A in Trg. sp. G/L ind automatically. But in configuration we have maintained indicator F for down pay request. When i am changing indicator from A to F system is giving error message like "Spl GL indicator F is not defined for down payments, message no.F5053". If i put indicator A then i can able to post request.
Can anyone help me in this....
Regards
Krishna

Hi Krishna,
You dont have to change the Trg Spl Gl indicator from A to F. It should remain as A itself.
F-37 uses indicator F to post the request. After posting the request you can see the line item in FBL5N with the indicator F.
When you convert the request to a down payment through tocde F-29, the system posts it to the spl gl indicator A (target indicator)

Down Payment for Contracts

Hi,
I have a scenario where a vendor is having yearly contract (PO). He is paid upfront at the begining of the year when invoice for full amount is received (amount debit to vendor pre paid / alternate recon account and credit bank). Later at each month, partial amount is expensed (debit) and pre paid / alternate recon account credited accordingly. At the end of the year the full amount is expensed and pre paid account is also balanced.
I am thinking of using vendor down payment functionality (F-47, special GL indicator A), attach a PO (with Invoicing plan and ERS combination), make down payment. Up till this stage the FI entries are debit vendor pre paid / alternate recon account and credit Bank (which is expected). Now with the Invoice plan, the system creates vendor invoice automatically, FI entries are debit expense and credit vendor recon account. We don not want to pay the vendor again as down payment already exist. Is there an automated way now to post credit entry in vendor pre paid account.
I was also going through the earlier post where I found similar issue (Re: Down Payment). However while posting the invoice I am not getting the entries as mentioned in step 2 (check link) i.e. credit pre paid vendor recon account
Any help is appreciated or any solution as well
SR

we have used the following substitution to do that
pre-req
SYST-TCODE = 'F110' AND BKPF-BLART = 'KZ' AND
BSEG-BSCHL = '29' AND
BSEG-UMSKZ = 'A'
Substitution
field "Payment block' is substituted by constant " " (Empty)
Instead of KZ you need to use the document type that is assigned in the your config FBZP for Payment method in country.
This will not allow the payment for the subsequent invoices and payment program will automatically clear the Down payment when all the invoices which will net the downpayment to Zero have been posted.
Thanks
Ron

1099 Credit Card Vendors

We have vendors that are paid via the procurement card that are classified as 1099 vendors. As such new IRS rules state that even though the actual payment to the vendor comes from the bank, we are required to include the payment amounts in the 1099 form. Since these transactions were through the procurement card, the actual vendor related payments are not recorded in SAP.
Is there a method in SAP for handling vendors that are paid via credit card and do not have actual transactions in the system? Also, it is possible to "gross-up" the amount printed on a 1099 form for vendors that were paid directly from SAP (which is included on the 1099) but were also paid with a credit card in some instances?
We are using ECC 6.0 (no enhancement packs) and using basic Withholding (we are not using Extended functionality). For printing of the 1099 we are using transaction S_P00_07000134 Generic Withholding Tax Reporting.

Brian
We have similar situation.
We create dummy invoices and payments which do not hit our financials. We have defined posting keys 39/29 and document types YW/YQ just for this and transactions are posted using special GL indicator. We have defined alternate recon account 800001 for actual recon a/c 200001. We psot dummy invoice to vendor which gets to 800001 and then when we make payment, it is reversed balancing the accounts. This account is not part of our financial reporting.
I am sure, there may be other ways too.
Thanks
Rajesh

AP Prepayments before an invoice is raised

Hi all, I would appreciate any help you can provide with the following
Can you use Prepayment functionality in SAP where the material ledger is employed? Any advice on how this can be achieved would be greatly appreciated.
The client wishes to raise a PO and GRN but wants to make payment before an invoice is raised. Is it as simple as not selecting the IR flag on the PO line item or are there other considerations.
Thanks
John

You can use the down payment functionality...... here u can pay the vendor before the IR and then adjust the IR with the down payment... here u need to use the spl GL indicators and the alternate recon GL.... u can check the settings thro FBKP....
is this what u want or is the reqr different?
