Alternative account number in the Balance Sheet

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,
Abraham.

Hello,
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.

Ravi

  • Changing the alternative account number

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to change once assigned alternative account number that has already been posted to?
    Thanks!!

    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,
    Ravi

  • 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.

  • Account Number of the Alternative Payee and Pay all items separately

    Hi:
    I have create one vendor (FK01)  with fill the Account Number of the Alternative Payee (LFA1-LNRZA) and Indicator: Pay all items separately  (LFB1-XPORE).
    But when I go to F110 to make the payment it group payments in just a unique payment.
    How can I pay all item separately when it goes to an alternative payee account?
    Thanks!

    Hi:
    The problem comes in some vendors, we have some vendors with have as an alternative payee the same vendor but with different adress.
    Those alternative vendors just have in master data the information reference to adress but they dont have filled information about payee.
    So, when we make an automatic payee with F110 tcode it groups all the items wrongly in the same invoice wich is no correct because sometimes they develop to different invoices.

  • 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 easily

    Hi
    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.

  • Switch off the automatic update of profit centers on the Balance Sheet acco

    Dear all,
    In CO I am using only CCA and PCA. But I don't want to have the profit center updated on the balance sheet items.
    For example I have it activated for all the automatical BS postings from MM
    I need it only for the PL accounts.
    How can I switch off the automatic updates of profit centers on the Balance Sheet Account?
    Is it enough to deactivate the PCA on the Controlling Area?

  • 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.

  • Financial Statement Version through Alternative Account Number

    Hi Experts
    Is it possible to create Financial Statement Version by using Alternative Account Number
    Regards
    Sreenivasulu

    Hi
    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.
