Can I manually post a controlling document?

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to manually post a controlling document? (without hitting FI). We have a unique requirement that necessitates this entry.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
PSM

Hi,
Yes it is possible to post document in controlling directly without involving FI.
Below are area where you post direct postings in controlling area.
- Statistical Data
- Cost Distribution in CCA and PCA (secondary cost element)
- Cost assessment in CCA and PCA (secondary cost element)
What is your requirement?
regards,

TCode to post a Controlling Document in Object Currency only

Is there a TCode that can be used to post to a secondary cost element but only updating the Object Currency Value?
I had an issue with our recent periodic Assessment. Some of the posted assessment documents have line items that have different Object Currency value than that of the CoArea Currency value, even though all the cost objects are all in USD. The CO Area currency as well as the Co Code currencies are also all in USD.

Hi,
You can try using allocation method assessment cycle... Immediately after entering the cycle name... u have option to select in "Field Groups" -->Object Currency.
Also consider the following documentation on object currency option given by sap...
Object currency:
The SAP System calculates sender values in object currency separately and distributes them separately. This only works if the object currency of all the objects (for example, cost centers or orders) is the same, since no conversion between object currencies takes place during processing.
For example, it is not possible to distribute a sender value to a receiver with a different currency. If this type of error occurs during processing, a warning is issued and the SAP System processes the object currency as if the indicator is inactive.
If the indicator is inactive, the object currency being posted is determined from the controlling area currency by converting it to the object currency of the sender or receiver when the sender credit/ receiver debit is posted.
Example
The controlling area currency is USD.
Sender A distributes 50% each to receiver B and C.
The posted values on sender A are in object currency:
DEM 1000.00
For receiver B and C, object currency DEM is also set.
If "Object currency" is activated, the following values result from sender A and receivers B and C:
Sender A Receiver B Receiver C
1000 DEM
-1000 DEM * 500 DEM * 500 DEM *
If "Object currency" is activated, the SAP System updates the values in object currency beside the controlling area currency and posts three line items (*).
If it is not active, the following values result:
Sender A Receiver B Receiver C
1000 DEM
- 590 USD * 295 USD * 295 USD *
If "Object currency" is inactive, the SAP System only shows the controlling area currency and posts three line items (*).
If receivers B and C have different object currencies than the sender currency, the SAP System ignores them and posts in CO area currency

Posting date or document date

hi all,
for baseline date, i can base on posting date or document date.
may i know where in spro, we can define the baseline date to be based on posting date or document date to calculate the net due date depending on the days in payment term?
example
posting date 20-08-2008
document date 18-08-2008
payment term 10 days
so net due date is either 30-08 or 28-08 depending on posting or document date.
thanks

Hi,
When you are creating a payment term with Tcode OBB8, there a radio button option is available. Choose among the four options.
1) Posting Date
2) Document Date
3) Entry Date
$) No Default.
Hope this will fix ur issue.
Thanks,
Srinu

thanks a lot.

Hi Marcos,
I feel using Proforma Invoice is not a wise decision. In future, if you want that Billing document to posted to Accounting, it is not possible with Proforma Invoice. Instead you can use any Billing document type for your scenario and you can very well block the Account Posting of that Billing document by doing a Configuration Change in that Billing document type.
Go to T. Code - VOFA:
There select your Billing Document Type. In details screen, you can see General Control Section. There is a Checkbox "Posting Block". This Checkbox indicates whether the system blocks automatic transfer of the billing document to accounting.
To block automatic transfer of the billing document to accounting, mark this checkbox.
In future, if you want to release this blocked documents, you can manually transfer blocked billing documents to accounting by selecting: (VF02) Billing -> Change -> Release accounting.
Even you can release many Billing documents using Transaction VFX3.
Hope this will help you out.

Controlling Document not posted upon GRS of PO with account assignt type A

My company is going to upgrade our SAP ERP system from version 4.6C to ECC5.
In version 4.6C, when a Purchase Order (PO) is created and assigned to:
(1) project wbs element
(2) asset
Upon GRS, the following accounting documents are normally posted:
(1) Accounting document
(2) Profit center doc.
(3) Spec. purpose ledger
(4) Asset transaction
(5) Cost accounting doc.
Following, if I want to view the Actual Cost line items posted for the project wbs element in mind, I am able to view the details via transaction CJ74.
However, in ECC5, simulating the same scenario as described earlier, i.e. a Purchase Order (PO) is created and assigned to:
(1) project wbs element
(2) asset
Upon GRS, the following accounting document is NOT posted:
(1)Cost accounting doc.
(which in ECC5 is termed Controlling Document)
As a result, I am unable to track the Actual Cost line item of the wbs element via transaction CJ74.
This is because in normal instances, a corresponding CO document posted for the FI document posted upon GRS. What I understand is that CJ74, pulls data from CO tables and because CO tables aren't updated, I can't view this statistical cost postings.
I would appreciate if anyone could advise the following:
(1) Why this occurs in ECC5
(2) How to rectify the problem
Thank you.

How to control column width in manual posting ?

Hi gurus,
I have some manual posting tasks with associated document types. In some of them when you get into the screen to record the manual data, the columns titles are so wide that the rigthmost columns get out of the screen and one needs to scroll horizontally.
Is there some way in wich I can fix columns width? I think if I narrow manually the columns and then fix this layout?
Thank you.

Hi,
I beleive you work in the language other than English. I encounter this very annoying system's behaviour while working in Russian.
I know that some notes are dedicated to solving of this or that problem in particular language.
The easiest way to make some "stubborn" settings is to do it in English and the return to your locale.

Controlling Document Not Getting Posted

Dear All,
We have a peculiar scenario of Controlling Document not getting posted. Any pointers on wat could be the issue will be highly helpful.
Scenario:
We have an interface which posts an accounting document.
Dr. Expense
Cr. Balance Sheet.
The Cost Center is supplied thru the interface and FI document and Profit Center Document is posted without any issues. However, CO document is not generated, not sure wat could be the issue. We have performed the basic checks. Also, for the same expense account, we observe some postings have gone into CO where are some didnt'. The difference between documents posted with corresponding CO and documents without corrsponding CO posting is only the "Transaction Key". When we maintain blank Transaction key.. the system posts CO document, when transaction key is "WRX" for that specific GL the system doesn't post.
Not sure why Standard SAP behaves like that. Please advice wat items i need to check to resolve
this.

Diwakar

If I post a Word document on my website, I want to share the link. Firefox won't let me do that. It forces me to download the document. It won't go to the link. How can I get it to do that? Can I?

My question was already detailed: If I post a Word document on my website, I want to share the link. Firefox won't let me do that. It forces me to download the document. It won't go to the link. How can I get it to do that? Can I?
Here's an example. I want Firefox to go to this link:
http://www.therevdrcharleswallen.com/CV2008.doc
It won't. Explorer will go there, but Firefox won't. I don't want to open an extra document. I want to visit the site in my browser.

Firefox can't handle MS Office documents and you will have to open such a file in an external Office program of viewer.

Can business area change when we post a clearing document?

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the business area when we post a clearing document?
For example, we need to pay the line item that have business area 3000. Then we use transaction F110 to create a payment then a clearing docuement will be created with business area 3000. Can we configure it to change to Business area 1000 when we do the payment.
I tried to implement a FI substitution but Business area field cannot be changed(OSS Note 42615). we can do that by changing standard program but it is not recommended by SAP.
Any idea on how to do this? Configuration, BTE or any user exits? Point will be rewarded for any helpful answer.
Thanks,
Chaiphon

hi raj,
Could you please explain more about assignment and substitution? did you implement this before?
I am in doubt because OSS Note 42615 said that GSBER (Business area) must not be substituted. Therefore, if you implement it and there is no problem, I will do the same.
Thanks,
Chaiphon

Controlling Document Posting as per Vendor, Customer and GL

I want to know how do I control SA not being posted with
1. GL Dr
    Vendor Cr
Also, I dont want KR to be posted in a document containing,
2. GL Dr
    GL Cr
Similarly for Customer as well.
3. Customer Dr
    GL Cr
How do we control the respective Document Types not to be posted in other documents. I have already tried by unticking Vendor and Customer in SA Document Type. In KR, KZ I have unticked Customer and GL.
In DR, DZ I have unticked Vendor and GL.
While posting in F-02, SA Document type it doesnot allow Vendor or Customer. That works for me. But when I am posting F-02/FB60 for Vendor and GL, it doesnot allow GL. This is not I am expecting. I want system to raise error message when I post GL Dr and GL Cr with Document Type KR/KZ.
Please advice the correct method.

Define validation (OB28) as below :
Prerequisite:
T-code F-02, Document type : KR , Debit Credit Indicator : Debit
Check:Account type :GL
Message: Error/Warning : GL account not allowed as Credit line
Please refer these examples

Dear BCS experts,
Our client would like to have a check whether the document text is filled in the manual posting document.

Thanks.

The probelm is solved. I implemented the validation of document header with a condition function.

Exchange rate for controlling document.

Hi,
We have 3 currencies in total, 1 local 2 other currencies in USD. During posting system automatically converts local currency amount into USD based on exchange rate available. suppose if this USD amount is manually changed during posting and posted, controlling document (cost center document) is still considering the exchange rate available in system and not manually changed amount. This is leading difference between FI and CO in USD amount where as Local curr amount matches. I checked all the controlling settings.. versions etc to avoid this, but couldnt succeed. Can some one advise if this is standard behavour ? can this be changed by some customisation ?
thanks

HI
Yes this is the way SAP works. You need to reconcile with local currency . However if you want to reconcile with other currency too , you can use the same rate which is being used for transfer of the data into CO. You may have Audit issue in such case , however currency re valuation will take care this aspect too .
