Branch Accounting

Folks,
Currently my client is using traditional Branch Accounting functionality in their bespoke legacy system. Where there are transfers between branches, e.g. transfers of funds or payment of expenses on behalf of another branch, an intermediate/clearing account is used.
Example:
Branch A pays for expense on behalf of Branch B
In the books of branch A
DR Interbranch - Clearing a/c
CR Bank (Branch A)
In the books of branch B
DR Expense
CR Interbranch - Clearing a/c
Both branch A and B are under the same legal compay code.
My client would like to retain these type of postings within SAP. I am planning to use Business Area to represent Branch.
Could you please advise if such posting schemes are possible in SAP? If so, please could you advise on how to set this up in SAP.
Thanks,
Teck

Hi,
Business area is not advisable.Go for profit center accounting.
While Creating GL Accounts, you can mention the GL Accounts as Interbranch in GL Account description.You can also maintain clearing accounts in GL
Have you explored SAP Banking Module. I do not much about this? Give it a try.
Please let me know if you need more information.
Assign points if useful.

Dunning for head office/branch account

Hi All,
Our client is maintaining the customers with relationship of head office and branch account.
Ex: Customer 1 has been created as Head office account and the same customer maintained as branch office account.
Head office customers are maintained with series Axxxxxxxxxx
Branch office customers are maintained with series Bxxxxxxxxxx
In the customer master data for branch customer Bxxxxxxxxxx, relationship wtih head officehas been maintained.
In the current scenario, we raised an invoice with customer Bxxxxxxxxxx for Rs.1000, in the next activity we received an amount of Rs.200 from the same customer through his head office account Axxxxxxxxxx.
Now if i go to t.code: FBL5N for customer Axxxxxxxxxx. system shows an outstanding amount of rs.800(i.e. 1000 -200). Now i would like to issue a dunning notice to the customer Axxxxxxxxxx. when i run the dunning run system is not giving the correct result(i.e dunning letter not showing the outstanding balance as rs.800). when i run the dunning for customer Axxxxxxxxxx it shows only amount received rs.200(not considering the invoice amount rs.1000 )
When i run the dunning for customer Bxxxxxxxxxx it shows outstanding balance as rs.1000.
Can somebody suggest me how can i get correct dunning letter when i run for customer Axxxxxxxxxx. (i would like to send a dunning notice with Rs.800 (1000-200)
Let me know if you need any information/ clarity on the above
Thanks in advnace

Dimensions for branch accounts?.

We would like to know if usage of dimensions for branch accounting in SAP B1 would be a goods way to account for branches.
This would enable us to use one standard chart of accounts. However, how do we enter opening balances etc.?
Also does SAP provide for dimension wise user definitions and authorisations?
Can warehouses be linked to dimensions too?
We would also like to know how does SAP B1 intend dimensions to be used?? What is the basic purpose of having dimensions.

Dear Avinash Todi,
Here SAP forum rule is only one question per post.
See dimension is use basically for internal reporting purpose.
if you wnat to manage branch accounting you need to go for account segmentation.
There is no dimension wise authorisation.
you cant liked your warehouses to dimensions.
Dimension is only use for internal department reporting but dimension not fullfill your all financial reporting
(Basically user department wise irect ex direct revenue indirect exp indirect rev )
If you have any other you can contact me.

Branch account clearing

Hello,
We use a head office and branch customer accounts in a project. I recorded branch customer accounts and head office from customer master record and assigned all of the branch accounts to a head office. When i post invoice and made the collection in branch account, i see the all of the transactions also in head office account in FBL5N. I have not a problem in these processes. But when i want to do a partial clearing, i can not see the clearing document and balances in branch customer account in FBL5N. I can only see the clearing document in head office account in FBL5N.
I want to see the clearing document in branch accounts in FBL5N. Because our customers want to follow not only head office, but also branch customer account in FBL5N.
Thanks,

Hi,
I can see docements of branch account and head office account in FBL5N. I can not only see clearing document of branch account in FBL5N.
When i want to do clearing of branch account in F-32, system give a warning "no open items were found".Because of this i do clearing to head office account. Example:
We have a invoice in 1000 EUR. Its document type is DR and our customer is A branch.
And regarding to this invoice we made a collection from customer in 800 EUR. Its document type is DZ and our customer is also A branch. These documents have been posted in branch account but automatically they are assigned to head office account. Then i want to clear these documents in system in F-32. But branch account can not be cleared. Because of this i m clearing the head office account ragarding to branch account.
My problem is i can see the clearing document in 200 EUR difference posting in line items of head office account in FBL5N. But i can not see this clearing document in line items of branch account. I also want to see the difference postings in line items of branch account.
Thanks for your replies,

Post interest on arrears to the branch account

Hi,
I have assigned customer code A001 in the head office field in customer master data for A001B1. When I run F.2B for interest on arrears, only 1 document is posted for the interest for both head office and branch account.
However, the interest for branch and head office should be posted separately to the respective account. How can this be done?
Please advice.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I am trying to use the interest on arrears
calculation function to charge interest for customer
overdue item.
However, I am a bit confused on how the interest rate
is linked to the interest indicator as there are so
many reference interest rate and i could not find the
linkage of which reference interest rate is used to
calculate the interest charged.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Regards,
Hoay Ling
hi,
First create an Interest Indicator. ·     OB46 - Interest Settlement Calculation Type Int Calc. Type
P - calculate interest based on line items.
S - calculate interest based on account balances.
Second, make it available to the interest run program.
·     OB82 - Interest Terms
Third, determine the interest rate that will be used by the calculation.
·     OBAC - Define Reference Interest Rates
·     OB83 - Enter the Reference Interest Rates Value
Fourth, assign the interest indicator to the reference interest rate.
·     OB81 - Define Time Dependent Terms
Finally, determine the how and to which accounts the interest program will post.
·     OBV1 - Prepare Interest on Arrears Calculation
·     OB84 - Assign forms for interest indicators.
·     F.2B - Arrears interest calculation
Arrears Interest Caliculations of customers:
Define Interest Calculation Type : OB46
Define No Ranges for Interest Form : FBN1
Define Reference Interest Rate : OBAC
Define time based terms : OB81
Enter Interest values : OB83
Prepare Interest on Arrears calculation : OB82
A/R Calculation of interest on arrears : OBV1
Assign forms for interest indicator : OB84(standard form is

Head office- Branch accounts transfer

Hi,
I would like to seek help here:
We use Head office- Branch accounts functionality here (Parent-Child relationship).
Due to some incorrect configuration, instead of the sale being charged to the child account, parent account got charged.
Since then, the configuration has been corrected.
But, FBL5N shows due under parent accounts which is incorrect.
Is there a way these parent accounts can be transferred to the child accounts, so it shows open under respective child accounts in FBL5N, rather than the incorrect parent account. And finally, the monthly statements will also appear correct?
Appreciate any thoughts that can help rectify this issue??!!
Thanks,
SS

Branch account open items

Hi,
We are shifting our Vendors to Head Office/Branch functionality. Our ordering vendor now becomes a Branch. We need to transfer any open items left in the Ordering vendor account, and move them to the new Head Office account.
Has somebody done this in their own company or client? If yes, please advise your methodology..
Regards
Kuldeep singh

Hi,
isn't possible move open items from a master data to another. You can use Alternative Permited Payee funcionality. In this case the Branch Vendor payments line item will take place in Head Office Vendor payments.

MULTI BRANCH ACCOUNTING.

Dear All,
I have HO in 1 place & 5 branches all over INDIA, all conducting similiar kind of business. I have not gone in for sigmentation of accounts.
I am maintaining his server at HO & is operating on single database for HO as well as all the branches & branches are connected the main server through CITRIX.
The problem is.......
1. I do not want the users from one branch to view the marketing documents of another branch, nor could select vendor/customer created by 1 branch by another branch in the marketing documents & even in open lists.
Can this be controled by user authorisations?
If not, how can this be addressed?

Hi,
I hope, if you can specify branch employees those belong to a certain branch as a team
(like those belong to X-branch as X-team), you can very well go with the Data Ownership Authorization and can give multiple level authorization for the teams as well.
I think I addressed the question and also you can manage with SQL query also. I will help you with that in my next reply.

Hi,
I think you had pretty much covered most of the preparation work.... Normally we clear up the delta queue, halt all the scheduled jobs prior to the upgrade and after the upgrade, restore the connection, activate all the transfer structures and update rules again and resume all scheduled jobs.
As for plug-ins, this website should provide what you need :

Head office and branch office accounts

HI sap gurus,
can any explain the configuration steps for head office and branch office accounts in vendor and customer master accounts and how to post an invoice in this configuration
Regards,
Umesh

I am assuming u are using SD integration for the billing . Therefore, please go to VD02 for the Child Customer profile under the correct sales org,distbn channel, div.
Then under the Partner functions tab set the SP Sold to party as the Child, BP Bill to Party as Parent,PY Payer as Parent and SH Ship to party as Child.
If its only for FI documents config then proceed in FD02 only, else if its integrated then use XD02.
Then under the Company code data in the Account management Tab set the Head office as the Parent . Then all the future postings will have Acct = Parent but Branch = Child.
If you want some examples which we have discussed before then go to
Re: Customer Master -- Parent + Child Relationship
Link between Branch Accounts and Head Office Account
To link branch accounts to a head office account, you must enter the number of the head office account in the Head office field in the branch account master record. This field is contained in the company code area of the master record.
The head office account can be any vendor account except one-time accounts or branch accounts themselves. Branch accounts and head office accounts must belong to the same company code.
Line Item Display
When you are entering the parameters for line item display, you should note the following: for head office accounts, enter the key 004 in the field Sort key. This instructs the system to display the line items for the head office account sorted by branch. This key is defined in the table for allocation rules.
For more information on line item display and the Sort key field, see Sorting Line Items
Correspondence
You can set up your system to cater for written correspondence with vendors a) for the head office, broken down per branch or b) for each branch individually. If you want to create correspondence (such as dunning notices and account statements) for the individual branches instead of the head office, you have to select the Local processing field in the vendor master record of the head office on the Create Customer: Correspondence screen.
You can also define payment methods in the master records of the branches and head offices. For example, if you want to have certain payment methods for particular branches, enter these in the master records of the branches concerned and do not enter any payment method in the head office master record. If you enter payment methods in both head office and branch master records, all payment methods are possible.

Branch office

how deal with when u are trading with different branch offices of company.

With vendors/customers having one head office and multiple branches, you have to create master data for all of them. Maintain head office account field in the branch accounts master data.

Branch allocation in APP(F110)

Hi,
When i Run APP, in one Client(110) is asking Branch allocation, I find this Branch allocation in Paremeter tab.
and in other client(210) the field is not visble at all.
where to set this Branch allocation fields? so that it will appear/disappear in the F110 .
Thanks In Advance.

Hi,
The Branch account assignment must be active hence when you run F110, it is asking for branch allocation for that specific co code. Check in SPRO settings if branch assignments for automatic postings is activated.
The path is
SPRO - Financial Accounting - Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable - Business Transactions - Interest Calculation - Interest Posting - Branch Assignment for Automatic Postings - Define Branch Assignment for Automatic Postings
hope this helps
