Balance Sheet Accounts

Hello -
I'm trying to bring two different fiscal year/periods, for BALANCE SHEET GL accounts, into the query results without having each fiscal year period listed-out individually. For example, I want to look at two different periods in order to compare balances from one period to the next. So I enter in period 003/2007 and then 004/2007 for the comparison period. However, because it is a balance sheet account, and in order to get the cumulative balance (not just the movement for a particular month), I have to use the "less than or equal to" restriction on the fiscal year/period objects. But then what happens is my query results have 30 + columns per each fiscal year/period starting in January of 2003. Ultimately, I just want two columns with cumulative totals: one for 004/2007 and one for 003/2007. Does anyone have any experience with this scenario? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
You should work with varexits.User inputs one value for 0FISCPER in a var ZFP, single, mandatory.
then you determine two other variables of type interval for your YTD cumulative BALANCE.
Depending on which fiscal time IObj you have in your IProvider it may get even easier if you have 0FISCYEAR and 0FISCPER3.
Please let me know what IObj do you have available and if you need assistance with the ABAP. With Dsource/content are you using? Sometimes even the cumulative balance is available...
hope this helps...
Olivier.

CO account assignment on a GR/IR Account (Balance sheet Account)

The GR/IR account line item on Goods Receipt(GR) documents picks up the account assignment ( WBS Element, Cost center or an Order) from the Purchase order account assignment.
The GR/IR account is defined as a Balance sheet account. So it is abnormal to pick up a CO account assignment on the GR/IR account line item on a Goods receipt or Invoice document.
I shall appreciate if some expert here lets me know if there is a fix(an OSS note) in order for the GR/IR account NOT to pick up a CO account assignment on the subsequent documents(Goods receipt and Invoice) from the Purchase order.
Thanks in advance.
Vijayanth

Hi Vijaynath,
If you have the modules like CO, PS, FM, IM and activated the above modules, at the time of the GR system compulsarly will ask for account assignment. Because PO might be crated for a project or cost center. In the above 2 cases system will look for account assignment.
I guess system picksup the cost center or WBS against the Raw Material account but not for the GR/IR clearing account. Please check it.
For the raw material and asset accounts you can create statistical cost elements.
Thanks & Regards,

Credit Memo all my material items to be directly posted to Balance Sheet account

Hi Experts
My client has a scenario where for certain items they create a credit memo request document and finally a credit memo document from the VKOA system is picking the revenue bearing GL and posting all the line items to that G/L account
Manually my customer is again checking and extracting the p/l and posting to balance sheet account
is there a way where we can directly post these entries to Balance Sheet account
Best Regards
Waseem

Hi Sanil
Thanks for the quick reply, can we assign a balance sheet account directly in VKOA in the G/L account field or do we need to add this in directly in Provision acc field
As suggested by you we already have the access sequence with respect to Order Reason, I am just doubtful wether we can directly give Balance Sheet account in G/L account field
Best Regards
Waseem

Goods receipt(PO) - balance sheet account

Hi,
Can someone explain to me what does posting to balance sheet account upon goods receipt means?
Does balance sheet account = inventory account?
Does this mean that the inventory qty has to be increased after GR?
Thanks

Thanks both of you for the replies.
Can you advise me on how to resolve the below scenarios?
1)Currently, for sales order purchases, we are using acct assign category "sales order" in PO, the stock qty is consumed by the sales order upon goods receipt.
And it will post to COGS & GR/IR acct upon Goods receipt.
If the requirement is to post to balance sheet account upon GR,
-does that mean I have to bring this qty into inventory?
- meaning I should be using another acct assign category in the PO.
2)Another scenario is that they also purchase services for the sales order, and they are handling this purchase using another customized acct assign category in the PO that allows you to post to G/L acct directly without cost center. (no material master entered in the PO)
Upon IV, it will post to COGS and vendor accounts.
If the requirement is to post to balance sheet account upon IV,
- is that possible?
- Does that mean i have to bring this services into inventory as well? does not really make sense..
Hope one of you can clear my doubts on this..

     SAPF011).
Please let me know the procedure to do this change, or do i have to run any report.
Thanks

Report to retrieve balance sheet accounts in foreign and local currencies?

Hello,
I have question regarding the availability of a report in SAP. I am wondering if a report exists in SAP to retrieve the total outstanding balances on any given date for all the balance sheet accounts (including GRIR trade) in both functional and foreign currency.
I am currently using the FAGLL03 to do this but the problem is that this report is timing out when I select too many accounts.
Does anyone know if such a report exists in SAP (besides the FAGLL03 which takes too long to run)?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hi
A quick way is to run FAGLL03 in the background as a scheduled job.

Inheritation of tax codes in G/L balance sheet accounts (New GL)?

Hello everybody,
one of my customers is migrating to New GL, where they want to use document split for some fields.
For some balance sheet accounts the they also want to inherit the tax code to the balance sheet account line (for reporting purposes).
Is it possible to inherit also the tax code to a splitted balance sheet line?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Angela

Hi Angela,
as Nauma already posted, inheritance is only possible for document split characteristics and tax code is not such a characteristic.
But even if its possible to inheritate / substitute the tax code into the BS sheet line item, what if the posting contains different tax codes (eg visiting an austrian restaurant: the bill contains 10% VAT items (Food) as well as 20% VAT items (beverages wo milk))?
What should be the rule for BS account tax code? So the requirement sounds strange...
Best regards, Christian

Message no FH017 Open item management only allowed for balance sheet accounts

Dear All,
i try to change one Balance Sheet account to P&L Account. However i failed changing the account.
it pops up the error Message no FH017.
For this error, i have already untick the Open Item Management
Can anyone help me on this? Very appreciated on this!
Cheers
Jill

Aslo see help on open Item managed field by pressing f1
Indicator: Open Item Management?
Determines that open items are managed for this account.
Use
Items posted to accounts managed on an open item basis are marked as open or cleared. The balance of these accounts is always equal to the balance of the open items.
Procedure
Set up accounts with open item management if offsetting entries are to be assigned to the postings made to these accounts. Postings to these accounts represent incomplete transactions.
Example:
A goods receipt/invoice receipt (GR/IR) clearing account should be managed on an open item basis so that you can check at any time whether invoices have been received for the goods received for an order.
Set up accounts without open item management if no offsetting entry is to be made against a posting to this account.
Examples
Accounts that are managed on an open item basis include:
Clearing accounts:
Bank clearing account
Payroll clearing account
Cash discount clearing account
GR/IR clearing account
Accounts that are not managed on an open item basis:
Bank accounts
Tax accounts
Raw material accounts
Reconciliation accountsThese are managed implicitly using the subledger open item function.Profit and loss accounts
Materials Management (MM) accounts posted with a posting key that has account type 'M'

Message FH017 Open item management only allowed for balance sheet accounts

Hi,
While creating a new GL account with P&L type it's giving the above message. If I select the BS type indicator, it's saving without any error.
I observed, account group selection is creating this problem. Since creation of other accounts in other accounts groups doesn't get such problems.
Any clues??
Thanks in advance
Durga.

Purchase order using balance sheet accounts

Hi there,
We have a need to create purchase orders using balance sheet accounts instead of expense or cost of sales accounts. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Raymond
Not realy clear which scenario u r trying to address here. But you can post the Goods receipt to a balance sheet account. U can ideally create a separate valuation class and use the same for account determination. The materials for which you are making the PO have to be asigned to that particular valuation class. The rest of the configurations will remain as they are. But in the transaction key you will include the new valuation class and assign it to balance sheet account.

Cost center empty in general ledger view for balance sheet accounts

Hi !
We are implementing ECC6 with new GL functionalities. We activated differents scenarii: cost center, profit center and segment.
Using FB03 (display document) we noticed that in the entry view, everything is fine: cost center, profit center and segment are filled successfully.
However, in the New GL view, the cost center is not filled for balance sheet accounts.
Any solution?
Regards,
Julien

HI,
Cost center will never be filled for the Balance Sheet account. For Balance sheet account Profit Center is required to be filled.
Don't be afraid this is the fundamental practice across the globe. Cost centers will be filled in only Expense account.
Exception to above rule is Asset master will recieve cost center because this will help in determining asset per department.

Balance sheet account postings to Internal order

Hi All,
I have a situation in which I have to make a prepaid expense from a BS account but want to assign it to an internal order so that when this expense actually occur, I can use this internal order report for all the prepayment made against that expense. I can create a cost element for this BS account but this is not a good practice. Do you guys have any other idea that I can implement here which is good practice and also solve the problem.
Thanks
MKR

Hi
SAP Best practises is not to assign Internal Order to a Balance Sheet GL Account.
In the Standard SAP, you might get an error if you assign an order to a Balance sheet account, but you have an option to change the error message from error to warning.
You might have to change the field status group assign to the balance sheet gl account to make the Order as Optional Entry.

Error AC305 and AC306 when customize a balance sheet account

Dear experts,
We have several depreciation areas created for a chart of depreciation.
Some of those depreciation areas do not have account effect but have
fiscal effect. For that reason we have set for them (in AO90
transaction) off sheet balance accounts (memorandum accounts).
The problem is that in the country we are working memorandum accounts are not P&L accounts.
When we try to customize then as Expense account for ordinary
depreciation the system displays the following errors:
Message no. AC305- Account GBCL-6400640010 not allowed to be balance
sheet account
Message no. AC306- Account GBCL-6400640010 not defined as
P6400640010L account
Our users told us that those memorandum accounts must be B/S
accounts and never P/L accounts in this country.
Obviously we could change error messages AC305 and AC306 as warnings,
but I was wondering if another solution could be possible.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
U cannot assign a balancesheet account for depreication
I dont understand why they want B/S account there because it cannot record expenses.
The only solutionn is changing message as u have said..
We annot change the accounting rule

Condition type for fee - no change of moving price or balance sheet account

Hi, hope you can help me.
We need a new condition type for a kind of fee which has to be paid to the vendor and used in the purchase order.
This is a condition type which
- has to be part of the invoice
- has to be posted as a kind of accrual
- must not! change the price of the material or the balance sheet account
If we use freight conditions the moving price is changed.
Because it is dependent on the material (and therefore a condition record works great) we can't or better don't want to use a second position in the purchase order.
Does anybody have a solution for this one?
PC

Thanks for the answer!
This is what I already tried, but it still changes the balance sheet account and the moving average price.
This is what I customized:
Condition ZXYZ
Cond. class A
Calculat.type C
Cond.category B
Item condition yes, delelte, amount/percent and Qte relation yes
Scale base C
Accruals yes
In the Calculation Schema it's defined just before the Actual Price, with Statistical-checkbox marked and Account key ZE1, Account key - accruals / provisions ZE2.
Do you have any idea what I have to change or what else to try?
Thanks a lot!
