Breakdown for a reconciliation account - in BCS

ECC6.0 / SEM6.0
Client is a service provider.
Its accounts payables constitutes in majority amount payable to financial institiutes.
In GL it has one reconciliation account for all these accounts payable.
Since we can map only one item to a GL in the item hierarchy, how to ensure the breakdown for this item.
Can we reflect this through a breakdown category - if so how?
If not, request your insights.
Cheers
Kumar

Eugene - sorry i misled you to answer how to derive trading partner for Vendors.
Scenario - My accounts payable consists of outstandings to various financial institutes. These financial institutes are not my trading partners.
I want to see in my Consolidation reports - break up of the accounts payable - broken down by amount due to each financial institute seperately.
Since GL has one reconciliation account for all these line item data in AP, we can map only this reconciliation account to an item in the BCS.
Stuck here - how to bring that break up into the consolidation system.
I cant give financial institute as a trading partner in the vendor master - that would be a fallacy.
Re : - It's for legal consolidation only - Yes
Rest all conditions - Yes.

FBL5N for Alternate Reconciliation Accounts

Hi all,
I have created two reconciliation accounts for one single customer and posted entries using original recon account as well as alternate reconciliation account.
But when I draw FBL5N, and in the dynamic selection criteria enter the alternate reconciliation account, and execute, I am getting the message that no item exists. But when I am not entering any account there or even when I enter the original Reconciliation Account, I am getting all the items in the report including entry for Alternate recon account.
Could you please let me know how to draw reports for different reconciliation accounts?
Thanks & Regards,
Sajan C P

Hi Sajan,
Try this route:
SAP Easy Access: AR>Info systems>Reports for AR Accountg>Customer Balance> S_ALR_87012172
Here you can once use the recon acct under further selections, click on normal balance under output control,
then again use alternate recon acct under further selections and click on Spcl GL balances under output control
But you will see only balaances, not line items
Try if this solves your problem

Get Open Items for GL Reconciliation account for Customers

Hi All
We have a difference on our AR to GL reconciliation, we are unable to view all postings to the GL account using Tcodes FBL3N or FS10N ? - the function is not available on that GL account.
how do we compare the open items on customer accounts to the postings in the GL reconciliation account if we can not get a line item report ?
Thanks in advance for any assistance
Dylan

Hi,
Generally for recon accounts, the indicator Lina item display will set to off. So you will not get line items for your recon account in FBL3N report. But still you can get the GL balances in FS10N for that recon accounts.
If you want to see the line items also for that recon account, then go to master data of that GL and select Line item display option and block the account in company code for postings temporarly.
Now run report RFSEPA01 in SE38 for you recon GL account.
Again go to GL master and unblock the blocking indicator.
Now check the line items in FBL3N for that recon account.
Thanks,
Srinu

Change in Reconciliation Account of Vendor/Customer

Hi Experts,
Can any one please tell me the scenarios where in we change the reconciliation account for the customer and vendor. If we change, what are the precautions we have to take in terms of transferring balance or open items from old reconciliation account to new reconciliation account?
Thanks,
SravanK

Hi,
There is no problem to change the account number in the vendor or customer master data, that is :
All Document Items that were created in the old account will be posted in the same old account when you have a payment posting, compensations, etc.
All document created after the change will be posted in the new account as well as the payment postings, compensations and others.
The system will separate the postings in accordance with the moment at the documents were created.
You can do a test in the development client before you do the change in the production.
For example :-
You can create a new reconciliation account because you want the G/L accounts to separate out sales. Just switched the setting in Customer Master and off you go. SAP will recognized the old account for the old postings and used the new account for any new postings.
You should run balance sheet adjustment program after any reconciliation account change.
The system performs any adjustments required due to the change of reconciliation accounts or G/L accounts. The items from the old reconciliation accounts are allocated to the new accounts.
Since you cannot post to the reconciliation accounts directly, the postings are made to temporary adjustment accounts.
These adjustment accounts should be displayed along with the relevant reconciliation account in the balance sheet. The postings are then reversed after the balance sheet has been created.
The program for sorting the payables and receivables makes the necessary adjustments automatically. This means that you have to define the adjustment account numbers and the posting keys for these postings in the system.
If you purchase and install the FI-LC Consolidation application and have bought up a previous customer or vendor (thus also taking on his/her payables and receivables), please refer to the note in the report documentation on changed reconciliation accounts. To define the account numbers, select the activity Define adjustment accounts for changed reconciliation accounts in the Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Implementation Guide.
You should only run this program if your new reconciliation account is classified differently from the original in your FS. e.g.. AR to Intercompany accounts. It will just reclassify the existing balance. The line items will not be transferred. If not then no need to run the program at all.

Change Reconciliation Account

Hello,
The user ask me to change Reconciliation accounts for some vendors and customers.
I've done the following steps:
1/ Set the u201CReconciliation Accountu201D field in the vendor master as optional field (customizing)
2/ Define Adjustment Accounts for Changed Reconciliation Accounts (customizing)
3/ Run Balance Sheet Adjustment Program - F101(FAGLF101 in ECC6)
But, there is no posting, and nothing happened.
My questions :
- What FAGLF101 is supposed to do exactly ?
- The vendor/customers can have open items before executing FAGLF101 ?
Thanks you

Hi Tarek
I hope you have actually changed your Recon. account
You can change the reconciliation Account in the Vendor or customer Master provided the field Status in your configuration allows changing the Reconciliation Account. Also, it is ideal that you change the reconciliation Account when the balance on the Reconciliation Account is Zero.
To clear the reconciliation Account one option is that you create a new open item managed GL Account and use Transaction FB05 to clear each open item in the vendor Account one at a Time and post on the new open item clearing Account. Then change the reconciliation Account in the master data and then again use FB05 to post the transactions back on the vendor Account one at a time.

Reconciliation account adjustments - F101

Hi Gurus,
I have changed my customer reconciliation account, i have proceeded that way:
1. change reconciliation account in master data from 823000 to 829000
2. t. code obbw : rec 8230/adj 8290 and rec 8290/adj 8320
3. run t. code F101
4.SM35 process batch input
>> I am getting errors: Account 823000 in company code 1000 cannot be directly posted to
Could you please help me on this point? Why do I have this message?
Thanks in advance.
Catherine

Hi,
This program performs any adjustment postings required due to changes to the reconciliation accounts or G/L accounts. The items from the old reconciliation accounts are assigned to the new accounts. Since you cannot post to the reconciliation accounts directly, the postings are made to temporary adjustment accounts (see the following figure,(3)). These adjustment accounts should be displayed in the balance sheet with the relevant reconciliation account. The postings are then reversed after the financial statements have been created (see the following figure, (4)).
Refer the picture in my previous reply
EXPLANATION
=============
The Understanding is as follows:
For example you have one line item in your Customer with old reconciliation account. 1000 GBP
One item with new reconciliation account with 2000 GBP.
New reconciliation will not have any problem, as these must have been posted to new reconciliation account.
When it comes to old reconciliation account, you cannot make direct posting to a new reconciliation account, we have created an adjustment account for old reconciliation account.
The postings are made to temporary adjustment accounts and once you have presented financial statements, you will reverse the entries.
In that case, base on the documentation link I have provided, the entries being posted by you are correct.
Please let me know if you need further clarifications.
Regards,
Ravi

Modify Reconciliation Account of Customer Master Data

Hi,
I need to change Reconciliation Account into master data for some customer
I've already changed the field status group of customer by customizing, setting into area 'Company code data' the Reconciliation Account as optional entry.
But that field into master data of customer remain not editable.
What am I missing?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards.
Eric

Hi,
If you do not have data for the customer account, you can change directly.
But, if you already have data posted, this is the procedure of changing recon account, if you have data.
All Document Items that were created in the old account will be posted in the same old account when you have a payment posting, compensations, etc.
All document created after the change will be posted in the new account as well as the payment postings, compensations and others.
The system will separate the postings in accordance with the moment at the documents were created.
You should run balance sheet adjustment program after any reconciliation account change.
The system performs any adjustments required due to the change of reconciliation accounts or G/L accounts. The items from the old reconciliation accounts are allocated to the new accounts.

Reconciliation account in Vendor

How do you allocate multiple reconciliation account to a particular vendor

Hi,
As you othres said you can maintain any number of reconciliation accounts for one reconciliation accounts but it is also have own limits.
mainly at the time of doing MIRO you arenot able to change the reconciliation account of the vendor.
In other cases like posting of invoice with out integration of other modules.
To doing like some customization settings are required like
Go to FS00 and under control tab choose reconciliation account ready for input for your reconciliation account and go ahead with this path
Spro-img-financial accounting-accounts receivable and payable-business transactions-posting with alternative reconciliation accounts-define alternative reconciliation accounts
Here first you specify the main reco account and next is the alternative reconcilaiton account.
Be implementing this please be sure

We want to change the reconciliation account for 5 Intercompany vendors. The business reason is to differenciate the normal and Intercompany vendors.
I wanted to know how to send the open items from the old reconciliation account to the new reconciliation account for a Vendor.

Hi Fren,
The reconciliation account can still be changed. However there is some configuration changes needs to be done.
A. Set the u201CReconciliation Accountu201D field in the vendor master as optional field.
Transaction code: OB23 (IMG)
Change both Accounting and Centrally part.
Set the status of u201Creconciliation accountu201D field to optional entry from display only
Next move on to:
B. Define Adjustment Accounts for Changed Reconciliation Accounts
Transaction Code: OBBW
Finally move to,
C. Run Balance Sheet Adjustment Program
Transaction Code: F101
Hope this helps you.

Accounts Payable Reconciliation Account does not match with sap report

Hello Folks,
I have problem with AP reconciliation account, that the balances in FS10N for a particular Company Code for particular reconciliation account balance do not match with the report run to show the vendor balances in local currency (report tcode F.98). Balance does not match for last posting period of the FY.
I have tried looking all the vendors in that particular GL recon account and ran the report, but still it i wast able to find out anything. May be Special GL transaction posting be there, but how to check that is there any spl gl transaction it there in the recon account.
I this to be solved by tonight, all the inputs will be very much appreciated and point will be assigned for sure.
Thanks you all.

Hi,
In the report you have to G/L accounts where you can select on:
The reconsilation account form the Vendor
The G/L account where to posting is created on.
It is possible that there are differences when you have change the reconsilation account form the Vendor.
The old posting are on the old and new on the nwe account. Perhaps you mis some Special G/L Indicators
It is possible that values are changed when you run the reports

Define Alternative Reconciliation Accounts

Dear All,
What is the use of ID field, when we are assigning GL account with Alternative GL account.
IMG Path: SPRO --> Financial Accounting (New) --> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable --> Business Transactions --> Postings with Alternative Reconciliation Account --> Define Alternative Reconciliation Accounts.
i repeat my question what is the use of ID field

Hi Ranjit:
First of all, this setting requires GL account (reconciliation account) should be ready for input. You can check that in the GL master (and if that is suppress, you can open that field in the account group definition).
Then, when you maintain the ID in the alternate reconciliation account, it is a short cut key to use for the alternate account during document entry. So at the time of document entry, instead of entering the alternate reconcilation account, you can enter this ID and system would bring the account number. And for this to work, ID should be uniquely assigned to a combination of reconcilation and alternate reconciliation account.
So , basically ID is short cut key (for alternate reconciliation account) during document entry.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Reconciliation Account question

Friends,
I know that we can have multiple reconciliation accounts(for AR and AP) or we can have one per each subledgers. But my question is, what typically happens in a real project? do you have to create multiple accounts or just one Reconciliation account per subledger is fine?
Thanks.

Zack,
D-Customers, K-Vendors, A-Assets
You have to create reconciliation account at least one for each account type.
You have to create number of sub ledgers for one reconciliation account based on the requirement.

Define alternative reconciliation account in MIRO

hI
It's possible to define alternative reconciliation accounts for vendors/ customers in MIRO (Invoice verification).
Or
Any form to do FB60 with reference to P.O
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi,
Reconciliation account is defined per Vendor/Customer. It is standard that you can not post directly to reconciliation account, and this is for security purposes. I suggest that you change the reconciliation account of your Vendor/Customer before transacting in MIRO or FB60 so amounts will be posted to their proper accounts. Please use Transaction XK02/XD02, for changing reconciliation accounts.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Mik

Statistical Cost Element for B/S accounts related to inventory - HELP

Dear Gurus,
I need to create a CE type 90 for my inventory accounts. In SAP help it says
"System Response
Balance sheet accounts cannot be created as cost elements in cost accounting, except for:
Asset reconciliation accounts
Material stock accounts for valuated sales order stock for sales orders or projects."
For assets tcode OAK7 can be used after maintaining relevant accounts in AA -> Integration w/GL -> Assign G/L accounts.
How do I do the same for material stock accounts (which are B/S as well)?
Thank you in advance!
Ciao!
Max

Hi,
In SAP the cost element category is pre set to 90 for all Balance Sheet Accounts.
Hence you cannot create cost element with category 90 for any Balance Sheet account.
Award points if found useful.

PO No. required in particular reconciliation account

Hi Gurus,
I want to make Purchasing Document No. mandatory field, while making down payment or payment for particular reconciliation account.
How can i do this? please tell me?
Thank You

Hi,
In spro, go to document-posting key, select 31posting key and click the overview. there click the field status, in the select group, select material management and there select purchase order no mandatory.
The cause of this is when you create invoice, the purchase order no field will be there when you enter 31 posting key.
Likewise for the downpayment, do it for 29 and 39
Award points if it is useful.
Thanks & Regards,
