Alternative G/L for Consumption account

Dear SAP Guru,
My client requires a new G/L account separately to be maintained for monitoring their consumption to the existing materials.
Up to my knowledge the VBR in the Transaction code - OMWN, whether the new G/L can be assigned to this account..for alternative consumption monitoring......is it correct.

Dear Pankaj,
I am happy that you have replied for my request, thankyou
You are correct, I have to follow your steps to identify the G/L account for GI against the Production order (261 Mov type) & also for 201 mov type against the cost center.
Can you please explain how the system selects the new G/L for consumption alone and how it differentiate the GBB G/L account
if i am wrong please correct it," i think whenever the 261 & 201 movement type happens the alternate G/L will be activated ZBR ".
Thanks and Regards,
R.Diwakar

Different Consumption Account for Movement type 201 and 261

Dear All ;
Client want use different consumption account for movement type 201 and 261 .
How we canmap this in SAP
Kindly suggest .
Regards;
Joydeep Mukherjee

This you can acheive by setting account assignment indicator is checked.
OMJJ >>> Movement Type >>>Account Grouping >>Check account Assignment
If this indicator is set, the system checks whether a G/L account or an account assignment has been specified on the item screen when user post transactional data. If so, the system copies this data to the posting line for account determination.
If this indicator is not set, the system always uses the G/L accounts or account assignments determined automatically.

Material ledger for lean accounting

Hi friends,
We are planning to implement ML for actual costing. The problem is client want to change their standard SAP process to a diff process. Instead of posting to Inventory B/S account when received goods, they want to debit to a P/L account and credit gr/ir. I am not sure how ML handles this, the other issue is during consumption to a production order, they don't want to hit the consumption account. They just want to do a goods movement with 261 type with quantity value (only material doc but no accounting doc) to production order. I am not sure if ML can look at this material document and calculates a $ value to have consumption.
Please help

Hi Sridhar,
Thanks for the reply. We were not clear on the design. Now we placed a design in place (not sure if this works). We r planning to do standard SAP procedure. 1) Dr. Inv (b/s) Cr gr/ir when goods are received and 2) Dr. Consumption Cr. Inv (b/s) when issued to Production order. The plan is to post additional entires during posting 1) like Dr. Purchased mat (p&l) Cr. Invent change (p&l). The main reason for this is management wants to look at the inv on p&l side (like dr. p&l account rather than inv b/s and dont want to touch that account for credits) but from ML perspective it will create problems so we are planning to follow standard and make additional posting in 2 p&l accounts which will total to zero.
Please let me know if you see any problems from ML side and also how can we make a setting to automatically do the extra posting when goods r received.
Thanks

Function module for GL account open items at a key date

Is there a function module for "GL account open items at a key date" similar to following for customer and vendor accounts?
BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS Customer account open items at a key date
BAPI_AP_ACC_GETOPENITEMS Vendor account open items at a key date
If not, please suggest any alternatives. I am looking to capture the output of FBL3N (GL account line item display) in a program.

Third Party Order - Not possible to determine a consumption account

Hi All,
I know there are a number of threads on this subject but the answer for me doesn't seem to be here.
The scenario I am trying to configure is around buying and selling software licenses using a Third Party Sales Order process (Item Cat TAS).
My material is set up as a DIEN with and Account Assignment Group of BANS and a Valuation Class of 3200 (service). I'm assuming that as the license key is a notional concept rather than a physical stocked item as such - a service is the more appropriate material type but maybe I'm wrong?
I have entered two entries using transaction OBYC (Maintain FI Configuration: Automatic Posting - Accounts) for Transaction Key GBB:
i) General Modification = blank
ii) General Modification = 'AUF'
... but this made no difference.
Can anyone advise how to resolve this issue please?
As an aside I am not sure how you ever know what entries are required in this table - how can you tell what General Modification values are relevant to any given scenario?

Hi Raja - yes this was useful but I am still having difficulties.
OK - So I can see from your notes that the Account Modifier that I was looking for was VAX associated with the Account Assigment Group of 'X' - good so I fixed the OBYC - GBB table to ensure I has a VAX - 3200 entry for consumption and it worked - great! BUT ...
I then wanted to get it so that my PO would create automatically so I:
i) Set the Auto PO on the Item Category
ii) Set the ALE paramenters asociated with the Sales Org definition
iii) Set the Auto PO on the Vendor Master
but that didn't work
I wanted to set the AUTO PO on the material master but as my MM was a DIEN this option was not available to me so I created another material that was NLAG (non-stocked) and tried again - this time I marked the Auto PO on material as well but it still didn't work because I am now geti8ng the message "Not possible to determine a consumption account" - Aaaarrrggghhhhh!!!
Everything else remains unchanged - BANS - CS etc.
Any ideas?

PO against valuated sales order stock posting to consumption account

Hi All,
I am creating a PO with account assignment against valuated sales order stock. However the posting happens to consumption account (GBB) instead of the stock account (BSX). The following settings exist
1. The material type is both quantity and value update
2. The account assignment category used in PO is E which has special stock = E, account modifier = VKA and consumption posting = E
3. The requirement class (in SD) has account assignment = E and valuation = M (even tried with A)
4. The valuation class for valuated SO stock has been maintained in the accounting view
However the system picks up the account corresponding to GBB-VKA and not BSX. Can anyone point out any setting that may be mising here.
Regards,
Ketan

Hi,
Maintain the consumption posting as blank against the account assignment used in PO in OME9 and test the scenario again.

Unable to post to consumption account in sales order creation

Dear Members:
It's a struggle for a while, that I am getting error - "not possible to determine consumption account" , "the system was not able to determine a consumption account for purchase order item with acc assignment" and suggresting to address "GBB" posting key- while creating sales order in VA01.
This is when generating sales order for make-to-order BOM item with header-item item categories as TAQ-TAE with sched. line "CS" attached to TAE (forcing it to generate purchase requisition). Also I have GL accounts entered for GBB posting key in AUF/BSA/VKA.
Could someone please give clue where I am going wrong - appreciate very much.
Thanks
Atanu

Error in Sales order - Consumption account not found

Hi Gurus,
I am facing an error in Sales order - 'Consumption account not found'. The scenario is third party. In sales order, it says 'Consumption account not found'. the item category is TAS and scedule line category has general modification key 'VKA'. And as it is third party, thr is no movement type for the schedule line category. The valuation class of the material is 3334 (software services). I was thinking In OBYC, under GBB key, this combination of my val. grping code+ 3334 + VKA and relevant GLs shud exist.
But in my development client, i dont get any error for the same material. And in thr also, thr is no mention of entry like above combination in OBYC. So its making me think that its not config error. But its an issue of master data or GL data.
Please help me . This is critical.
-Prashant

Hi,
Your observation is perfectly write, the possible errors are
1. Check the combination of Account modifier of Purchase order account assignmnet or PR. Based on the modifier and check the relevent combination in OBYC
Valuation ClassAccount ModifierIf Groups is there + Transaction Event Key + Gl Accounts
2. If GL Account is available then check the GL Master through FS00 for validation of mandatory consumption is required and i feel there is no issue with material master.
Rewards if it helps

Can't update Xcode – "You have updates available for other accounts" and other errors.

I have 2 Macs, a 2008 Mac Pro running 10.8.5 and a 2009 MacBook Pro running 10.9.0, soon to be downgraded to 10.8.5. I can't install the Xcode update on either Mac, and I can't update MacTracker on my Mac Pro, which suggests that no updates work at all.
When I try to update, it says "You have updates available for other accounts" and "Sign in to ________ to update applications for that account." I'm already signed into that account. I tried logging out, closing the App Store, and logging back in. Then I tried logging out of both the App Store and iTunes as per a fix I found online, and it gave me "Unknown error" once I tried to update.
Is there a fix for this or at least a regular .pkg I can just install? Honestly, it's easier to update stuff in Debian Linux than on OS X 10.8 and up now.

Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
1. Follow the instructions in this Apple Support article.
2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
5. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
Then repeat step 4.
6. Select
Store ▹ View My Account
from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
7. Launch iTunes and select
Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
from the menu bar.
8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the Applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications. If you have backup copies of the apps on another volume, unmount it and try to update again.
9. Contact Account and Billing Support.

I currently have Iphoto v. 9.1.4. There is an update v. 9.4.3 that I am unable to install. I keep getting a message, "you have updates available for other accounts. To update this application, sign into the account you used to purchase it."

Reg.Stock account instead of consumption account when PO creation

Dear Experts
When I create Purchase order with account assignment(E) the material account should go to stock account.But as per sap system it goes to consumption account.
I have posted this quesition morethan 20 times in different different ways,nobody answer this quesition.
In OME9 I did my possible changes there is no gain.
In our production server and development server that is working as I expected,our implementation team
has configured like that. I want to configure the same setting in ECC6 also.
Help me.
We want stock of material not consumption stock. That is what account is created while create without account assignment and item category that account should come.
Thanks
Rajakumar.k
Edited by: Raja Kumar on Mar 11, 2009 2:05 PM

HI Raja,
Hope you can make use of the accout modification VKA in the account assign category in
t.code - OME9.
For the same accout modification you can configure the
Valuation modif/General modification/Valuation class combination for your
debit and credit GL accounts.
This is specific for the Transaction GBB under chart of accounts - INT.
Cheers

Material Ledger : Actual Cost settlement to Consumption Accounts

Dear CO Experts,
We are aware that when we run CKMLCP, all variances (in the Price Diff GL Account) due to Material Prices flutuation, diff in Standard & Actual Cost of Production, etc. would finally get settled to Consumption or Stock Account in its appropriate ratios.
Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1.
There can be cases, when there are diferences in Production Order, due to fluctuations in Prices or Actual consumption is more than standard consumption.
When a Production Order is settled the difference is posted to Price Diff Account.
When a Material Ledger (Actual Costing) is executed, Price Diff Account is targetted to be Zero. The Price Diff is then splitted in Stock & Consumtion Account in its appropriate ratios.
Main Question :
Since, Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1, what shall be the CO Account Assignment Object, when the ML value is settled to Consumption Accounts.

hi merchant..
   1. Price diff between stnd and act is initially goes to PRD a/c through OBYC setting at the time of GR/Invoiceing/Issue if mat is set as S&3.
   2. In case of mat set as V&2 idially there should not be any diff but may arise some small amount due to "no or less stock qty" at the time of invoicing.
3. When CKMLCP is run these price diff & order settlement diff splitted to cons and stock as you mentioned.
Now your question :
" Since, Consumption Acount GL is a Cost Element with Cost Category as 1, what shall be the CO Account Assignment Object, when the ML value is settled to Consumption Accounts"
    Cons GL is cost element cat 1 for capturing mat mov for Issues to orders/cost centres,oth co obj for primary posting at stnd price.
    Now at the time of CKMLCP run you revaluate the materials and price diff are splitted to cons & stock and goes to mat to calculate act cost (stnd +/- prd).
I think this will give you some light on your issue.
