Alternative account number in GL master record
can any one help me to define what is the use of alternative account number in gl master record as i am new in this line.
sanjay pradhan
Hi
The alternative account number field in the company code area is freely definable. You could use it to enter:
1) The account number from your legacy system or
2) The account number from a country chart of accounts if your corporate group uses a standard chart of accounts.
You might want to use a standard chart of accounts worldwide. However, the usage of another chart of accounts is required by law in some company codes. By using the Alternative account number, the connection between the account in the worldwide standard chart of accounts and the account in the country chart of accounts can be set up.

Alternative Account number in G/L Master Data
Hi,
Can any one tell me the importance of alternative account no. in G/L Master Data.
Thanks in Advance

The alternative account number is only issued in the financial statement if you explicitly assign it to the relevant items in the financial statement version.

Alternative account number issue for GL master
Hi,
There is one GL.100000 is extended in two company codes.
Company code : A (Balance available)
Company code: B(Balance available)
Whenever I change the alternative account in company code A, it is accepting whereas company code B is not accepting and showing error message : FH007.
What might be the issue?

Swapna.Hi,
Postings might be done In the second company code. It might be the reason.

Changing the alternative account number
Hi all,
Is it possible to change once assigned alternative account number that has already been posted to?
Thanks!!
D.Hi,
Please see the solution given by Brendan O'Brien for the thread "GL Alternative Acct Number - error message FH007" in this forum.
Anyway, I am copying the text from the same thread. Hope this should be useful to you.
If you have a "Country-specific chart of accounts" assigned to the GL Account then it is correct that you cannot change the alternative Account number.
However if you do not have a "Country-specific chart of accounts" Assigned and yet you still cannot make this change
See note 305203. This note will prevent this message where no "Country-specific chart of accounts" is assigned.
If you do have a "Country-specific chart of accounts" assigned then unfortunately you cannot change this error message, as FH007 is hardcoded as an error.
However, a possible workaround which you may like to try could be:
Deassign the country chart of accounts from OBY6,the company code global settings. Then it is possible to enter an alternative account number on the G/L master record irrespective of whether there is a balance on the account or not. Once the alternative account number is saved, reassign the country chart of accounts to the company code.
However, as displayed, your account balancee is infact zero.
The note will prevent the error message FH 007 where no "Country-specific chart of accounts" has been assigned to the corresponding company code. However, in your case, it sounds like you have a "Country-specific chart of accounts" assigned to the company code. Hence the error message.
I hope that this information helps.
Thanks,

Alternative Account number - using as a custom field/Issues in reports pull
Hi All,
Requirement:
Create a new field in the GL master that will link through to a new 8 to 10 character new Chart of Accounts (COA).
We are presently using the "Group Account number" field from the GL master for reporting purposes through a Group COA. So this won't be available for our new purpose. Instead of creating a custom field and pulling the data, I'm thinking to use Country Chart of Accounts to fill this gap by using "Alternative Account Number" in GL Control data tab.
I created a new Country COA and assigned it to Operational COA. Created new GL account (FS00) and also created a new Country Chart of Accounts (FSP0) at Chart of Accounts level and assigned this to the created GL (FS00). In this process I got couple of issues
1) System didn't allow me to assign Country COA GL if already has the balance, and tried to change this error message in OBA5 without success. How can I add newly crated Alternative a/cs to the existing (balanced) GL A/cs?
2) This time I created brand new GL a/c and added the alternative a/c and created new Financial Statement Version (FSV) assigned the newly crated a/cs but I couldn't run the reports on this new COA, getting following error message "Company codes and charts of accounts entered are incompatible" when executing F.01/F.08.
3) May be silly to ask - why we are not maintaining the Alternative a/c at Company Code level (FSS0)? Why we are only maintaining at Chart of Accounts level (FSP0)?
Would be glad if any one touch this area deep enough to understand easilyHi
The system will update the amount at company code level GL only. You can post the entries at company code gl only, no option to post the transaction figures at chart of accounts level. So the group COA or country level COA will pick up the transactional data from the GL at country level. Remaining level GLs are link with the country level COA. -
Infotype to link Personnel Number with Vendor Master Record
Hi All,
pls help me what infotype to link Personnel Number with Vendor Master Record in AP module.
Customer require when Create Employee then system automatic gernerate Vendor Master.
pls help us.
ThanksHi,
PRAA works absolutely fine. I have external number range for vendors.
There is an option so that you can create HR accounts in vendor accounts
Path:Accounting> Financial accounting>Travel
management>Personal-Related Master Data> Create Vendors (tr.code PRAA)
Look at this description:
From the HR master data, this program creates a batch input session for
maintaining person-specific vendor master records.
The report can process vendor master records as follows:
o Initial set up (create/add missing company code segment)
o Uupdate (change completely according to vendor and HR reference)
o Change (only according to HR master data, for example, name
Block
The following infotypes from HR master data are taken into account for
the key date specified:
o Actions (Infotype 0000)
o Organizational Assignment (Infotype 0001)
o Personal Data (Infotype 0002)
o Permanent Residence (Infotype 0006 Subtype 1)
o Bank Details (Infotype 0009 Subtype 0 or 2)
All other required data is taken from a reference vendor that you can
specify as a parameter when you start the program. Note that for the
reference vendor, reference data must exist for all company codes that
are applicable according to HR master data. Since program RPRAPA00 cannot
assign vendor master record numbers externally when creating
vendor master records, you must be sure that the reference vendor is
assigned to an account group that requires internal number assignment.
If no house bank is specified in the reference vendor, this is
determined via feature TRVHB (Implementation guide for 'Travel Expenses'
-> Transfer to Data Medium Exchange -> Set up Feature for Determining
House Bank according to the employee's organizational situation.
The link between the HR employee's master record and the corresponding
vendor master record is set up by entering the personnel number in the
company code segment of the vendor master record.
General program flow
Program RPRAPA00 creates a sequential work file in the specified
directory. Ensure that you use a global directory that can be accessed
by all application servers; a directory is automatically proposed. The
work file is later transformed into a batch input session by the
subsequent program RFBIKR00, which is started automatically.
In test run mode this program delivers information messages which
document the creation of a batch input session. Since each information
message must be confirmed manually, the test run should only be
performed for a small number of personnel numbers.
In productive run mode, however, the program RFBIKR00 is automatically
started as a job; the information mentioned above is stored in the job
log in this case.
Initial setup of vendor master records
Corresponding vendor master records are created from the infotypes
listed above and the non-HR-specific information from the reference
vendor. During the process, the personnel number is stored in the
company code segment of the vendor master record. Persons who already
have a vendor master record with corresponding personnel number are
rejected in this run.
If a vendor master record already exists for a personnel number, but
without a company code segment for the company code in which the
employee exists at the key date entered, the program adds the required
company code segment to the vendor master record. You must however
activate the checkbox "Create new company code segment for existing
vendor master records".
The HR master data used is the info type record valid on the key date
entered.
Update of vendor master records
The corresponding vendor master records are updated from the infotypes
listed above and the non-HR-specific information from the reference
vendor. Persons who already have a vendor master record with
corresponding personnel number are rejected in this run. The system uses
HR master data from the infotype records valid for the key date.
Change vendor master records according to HR master data
All HR-specific data is changed in the vendor master records for
personnel numbers that have changes since the date recorded under '...
with last change since'. The system uses HR master data again from the
infotype records valid for the key date specified.
Block vendor master records
All vendor master records which correspond with the selected personnel
numbers are blocked for posting.
User exits
For the following situations, two empty routines are supplied in the
includes RPRAPAEX and RPRAPAEX&H5F001 which you can adapt to your
requirements.
o The employee's last name is entered in the sort field in the vendor
master record. If you do not want this to happen, you can program
the situation you want in the user exit routine
'set&H5Fmc&H5Ffield&H5Fby&H5Fuser'.
o If the address editing in the vendor master record does not suit
your requirements, it can also be changed. For this purpose you have
the user exit routine 'set&H5Faddress&H5Fby&H5Fuser'.
o If you want to assign numbers to the vendor master records to be
created via external number assignment (for example, vendor master
record number &H3D personnel number), you can adjust the user exit
routing 'SET&H5FVENDOR&H5FNO&H5FBY&H5FUSER' (in include RPRAPAEX&H5F00). Note
that
the account group of the reference vendor must also have external
number assignment.
Note that in each case a thorough knowledge of the programming
language
ABAP/4 is necessary.
Set up vendor master records in a separate system
The distribution of personnel master data from a HR system to an FI
system is a prerequisite for creating, changing, and blocking vendor
master records.
In the section Master Data Distribution (link to separate HR unit) of
the ALE IMG, an explanation is given regarding the way in which the
FI
System is supplied with the relevant employee data from the HR System
In the FI System, report RPRAPA00 described here can be used to
create,
change, and block vendor master records.
Other wise try with VPE1 t.code.

Do you have any suggestions on this issue?
@SAP system information: ECC6.0(SAP_APPL 603+AFS 603)

Financial Statement and Alternative Account Number (China)
Hi all,
I have created a nice financial statement based on "normal" GL account number, and through this I can have a nice formatted balance sheet and profit and loss account.
For china, I need the financial statement with the alternative account number displayed. For example: My normal GL Account is 181000, and alternative account number is 10010101 .
During running the F.01 - Balance sheet, I check the options of "alternative account number" under the tab of special evaluations, but the output of the balance sheet and profit and loss does not give me a nice format.
All of the accounts are displayed under section Account not assigned (This is because alternative account number is 10010101 is not assigned to the financial statement version).
Could anyone advise how to overcome this problem?
Thanks.Ok ...
I half way solve my problem with the following reference:
http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-acct/country-specific-coa-1453275
There is another issue of my Financial statement:
The following is my scenario:
I have Operational Chart Of Account, OCA1, and GL's are as followings:
GL1000 linked with alternative GL account (GL9001 - Chart of account - ACA1)
GL2000 linked with alternative GL account (GL9002 - Chart of account - ACA1)
GL3000 linked with alternative GL account (GL9003 - Chart of account - ACA1)
GL4000 No link to any alternative GL (because does not use or need this)
My Financial statement version is FSV9, made up (must be, based on my testing) using GL Account (which are GL9001 and GL9002) and chart of account is ACA1.
During the financial statement F.01, the GL4000 ends up with the following message at the bottom of the financial statement: <b>No alternative acct no.maintained for G/L acct 4000 in co.code ....</b>
Note: GL4000 does not have any balances.
Note: If GL4000 has balances, it is displayed under un-assigned section, and the value does not affect the profit and loss od the statement.
Question: How can I solve the issue:
1) Do not display the GL4000, which does not have alternative GL account. -
Alternative Account Number in House Bank Definition
Hi
What is the use of Alternative Account Number in Definining House Bank through FI12.
YogeshHello,
Please read F1 help. It is clearly mentioned.
Test copied below:
Alternative Bank Acct Number (for Ambiguous Acct Number)
The alternative bank account number is used for distinguishing house bank accounts with identical account numbers. This can occur if a house bank manages accounts in different currencies using the same account number.
The alternative bank account number must then only be defined if it differs from the bank account number. You must maintain it together with the bank key in the system.
If you have house bank accounts with identical account numbers and use the electronic account statement for these accounts, then you enter the internal key used by your house bank here (usually the account number with attached currency encryption). If you use the manual account statement, then you can freely assign the alternative account number. Using bank account number + currency code is, however, recommended.

Alternative account Number in G/L
Hello experts,
We have a company that besides the usual balance structure uses also an alternative one for its country.
When I run the Balance sheet query with the normal hierarchy I can see all the nodes correctly. But when I use the one for its country I can see only one node (Not Assigned Fincl Statement Item) with all the account numbers inside.
When I check it in R/3 (tcode FC10) I can see it with both structures checking the alternative account number option.
Does anybody know how to use the alternative account numbers with the country specific hierarchy in BW?
Thanks in advance,
Renniehi,
i wud suggest, first you check the alternative account number hierarchy in bw, match the numbers with hierarchy in R/3. it may be data issue.

Financial Statement Version through Alternative Account Number
Hi Experts
Is it possible to create Financial Statement Version by using Alternative Account Number
Regards
SreenivasuluHi
I think you want it only in the display as to what is the alternate account number for the GL account available in the FSV. If that be the case you can try that in the normal transaction F.01 which will not require a new FSV. You can select the gl account number and the alternate account number in the same report through change layout.

Account ID & Alternative Account Number Info
Hi,
Can some body help me in understanding the Following
a) What is AccountID in FI12 T-Code
b) What is the purpose of Alternative Account Number and how is it used.
It would be helpful if it could be explain with an illustration.
regards
Shirley.a) Account ID is a 5-character ID with which you want to identify the bank account you are holding with your bank. For example, EURCA is a current a/c. maintained in currency EUR with the bank. This ID, along with the house bank ID, uniquely defines a bank account. This is the ID using which you set up bank determination in FBZP.
b) SAP help text on this field is quite explanatory. Here it goes...
Alternative Bank Acct Number (for Ambiguous Acct Number)
The alternative bank account number is used for distinguishing house bank accounts with identical account numbers. This can occur if a house bank manages accounts in different currencies using the same account number.
