Changing period end accrual to on line accrual

We had 11i as the production environment, but recently R12 was implemented without upgrading it to R12 directly.
In the implementation a lot of data migrations were involved.One of them is the open EXPENSE TYPE PO migration(closed for receiving)
That means some POs receipted in 11i but not yet billed. ( the company policy is to use accrue at receipt method)
However at the time of data migrations these POs were migrated as period end accrual type although configurations were done in the purchasing options as accrue at receipt.
Therefore these do not even appear in the AP and PO accrual reconciliation report after running the Accrual Reconciliation Load Run. We need to bring these back to the report, becasue it is required to reconcilie the GL balance to the report balance.
My question,
Is there a way to bring these back to accrue at receipt even updating from the back end.What are the tables that need to updated just to check in a different environment.
Thanks and Regards,
MPH

Hi
You can change your posting end dates only two time , first at the start of your business and second at the time of winding up/merger of the business.
As this functionality called shortened fiscal year change. You can shortened your configured fiscal year by creating and assigning a different fiscal year variant with the required periods with required period end dates.
Since you wish to apply 30th july as your year end date instead of 31st july , this means again your are sortening your year by one day.
You may go for the shortened fiscal year variant but please note you need to do changes in Asset accounting table changes as well as their will be majour impact on AA dep calculations.
Secondly it is recommended not to change your fiscal year variant if the case is only for one day.
You have one workaround here , you keep your year end date as 31st july only and try to restric any postings on 31st july and allow postings only upto 30th July. I think if you wish you can do it through validation also.Creat validation like if posting date is beyond 30th july and below 1st aug then message is error, or if posting date is equal to 31st july then message would be error.
If you have asset accounting then it will not adjust depreciation for one day as it is already planned for full month, I think you may consider one day depreciation to avoid complications of changing shortened fiscal year variant just for one day!
I think you may apply this workaround rather than moving to shortened fiscal year variant!

Period End Accruals - Reversing the Journal in GL

Dear All,
Here is my Requirement: I heard that in Period End Accruals we have to Reverse Journals in GL etc., Could some one explain what happens in Period End Accruals case in terms of Accounting & Process, And It relation between PO, AP, and GL, Pleaseee
I don't have any knowledge on this and I tried to understand by reading some article on Internet but no luck I could not, Please give me inputs on this concept for my understanding.
Best Regards
Kiran

Hi,
I assume you use Funds Management (FM) application ?
If so the info below will be useful:
Even though you have the Commitment Item defined in the GL Account master data, FMDERIVE needs to be set up to get the Commitment item from there. Use Function Module FMDT_READ_MD_ACCOUNT_COMPANY Read Account Master Data to get the Cmmt. item from GL account master data in FMDERIVE to do this.
Go to Transaction FMDERIVE, Change, Create Step and choose Function module. Choose FMDT_READ_MD_ACCOUNT_COMPANY and use as target field commitment item.
Also check if note 1489530 is present in your system.

Receipt Accruals - Period-End Process

Hi,
I am a technical developer trying to understand the Receipt Accruals - Period-End Process. This is certainly not my area of expertise, but essentially I am trying to understand the relationship between the Payables Receipt dates and any corresponding GL dates / period.
Payables Invoices have a specific GL date that dictates the Payables period in which they fall and from that the corresponding GL period. However from what I can tell there is no explicit GL date on a receipt. A receipt obviously falls within a Purchasing period, and it is this period that is selected when running the 'Receipt Accruals - Period-End Process' concurrent job, but how does this map to a corresponding GL period? Is it simply the Receipt date that determines the GL period?
Any help you could provide me in understanding this process would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Wes

As you said, the receipt date is determining the GL period dates.. When you run the 'Receipt Accurals - Period End Process' it is of Purchasing dates and the same will be flown into the General Ledger.

Running the Receipt Accruals - Period End for multiple OU's

We are using R12.1.1 and currently have defined approximately 40 operating units in the system. At month end I need to run the 'Receipt Accruals - Period-End' concurrent program using the Cost Management - SLA responsibility for each operating unit which is quite time consuming. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I could automate this process so that all OU's have been predefined in a request set or something similar. As standard functionality the OU is not a parameter that can be defined when creating a request set so was wondering if there is some other way that this can be done. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I don't think you will be able to define a request set that will work this way.
However you can try the following work around.
Write a pl/sql procedure that loops thru' the operating units you have and calls the Receipt accrual program.
for each operating unit
loop
dbms_application_info.set_client_info(operating_unit_id);
fnd_request.submit_request(receipt_accrual)
end loop
Hope this helps,

The impact of accrue at receipt and accrue at period end on project costing

What is the impact of checking the accrue on receipt flag on the PO shipment on the PRC: Interface Supplier Costs behavior?

Hi
The system should be setup with Accrual Method on Receipt (not on period end).
On PO shipments of Goods line type you may enable the check box - Accrue on Receipt. This is mandatory for Inventory destination and a default for Expense destination.
When goods arrived from the supplier you enter a receipt transaction. That receipt transaction will get accounted and sent to SLA and GL.
The process PRC: Interface Supplier Cost have several parameters. You can select to interface PO Receipts transactions into Projects Costing. You would select to interface invoices as well. The system will check if the receipt transaction has been interfaced to PJC. If so, only AP variances will be imported from AP to PJC. If the receipt transaction has not been interfaced to Projects, then the entire AP invoice will be imported.
Another option is to always interface receipt transactions to Projects, and from AP to always interface only the variances, regardless if the receipt transaction has been already imported or not.

Period end day 14th May
Pay day last working day or last day of May for period 15th April to 14th May.

Period End Closing in sap b1 8.8

Hi All Expert,
Pls. Provide me step of period end Closing. How we can execute previous year period (i.e 2010) in SAP business one.inform me with details.
Thanks

Hi Rashmi ,
Period-End Closing Checklist are :
Period-end activities take place at the end of the month or the end of the quarter, or both, depending on how your financial accounting processes work. In either case, the checklist at the end of the period is much the same.
Make sure that all transactions for the period were posted properly, including adjustments and accruals
Print trial balance (a balance of each account and a current status)
Print vendor liabilities aging and customer receivables aging reports to reconcile receivable accounts with the G/L
Print inventory audit report to reconcile inventory with the G/L
Print financial statements
Make a backup of your database and put it in an off-site storage location
Close or inactivate the fiscal period by locking it using the posting period window

If so, Why? What is the consequence if we Dont Clear them ?
B) I have this situations :
1. After I execute F.19 at Period-End, How do i CLEAR some GR/IR account that Have Not being Invoiced yet?
2. on December 2010, I have Post a Pre-Paid Insurance Exp like this:
Pre-Paid Insurance $1.500
Cash -$1.500
*) This Pre-Paid is used to pay Actual Insurance Exp for Dec 2010, Jan 2011, Feb 2011 ( $500 each Month)
and I use Reccuring Entry to allocate these Exp.
(31/Dec/2010) --> F.14
Insurance Exp $500
Pre-Paid Insurance -$500
*) How can i clear this Pre-Paid Insurance at the End of Dec 2010? Since the Balance on 31/Dec/2010 will be at Debet $1.000 ($1.500 - $500) Not Zero Balance.
Thanks for your kindly helps
Best Regards

Clearing will be possible to subledgers(Customer & Vendor) and GL accounts which are open item managed.
Normally clearing wil happen automatically for subledgers at the time of payment/receipt except partial payments/receipts.
You have to clear these partial payments/receipts at month end. Beacuse in some organizations month wise they maintain exchange rates, in that case if you clear the items in next month, system will post realized gain/loss. To avoid these types of Fx considerations you have to clear them.
Please check the below link for your prepaid account clearing.

How to automate FI period end closing?

Hi,
Is there a way to automate FI period end closing?
Currently we have transaction recording for OB52, values are changed by macros in Excel and it run in batch input.
It works, but sometimes we have problem with it (eg mistake in Excel).
Is there a way to automate this procedure?
Our release is SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.70x200.
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Hi Peter,
With the help of ABAPer we have develop a Zprogram linked to a t.code. So at the start of the month we have schedule to run that t.code as a monthly job. the logic behind the programe is when run ar the start of the month it opens the posting period for the current month it has run & close the pervious month.
Hope this helps.
Please assign points as way to say thanks

How can I make a brush that starts and ends in a thin line?

I am looking to make a brush that I can use for cartooning in CS6 that starts out thin, gets thicker with pressure (I have a cintiq), and ends in a thin line. Does anyone have the expertise to make one?
Thank you.

I watched the first half of the tutorial from your link and some parts of the rest. It is a good tutorial. He is using an art brush which profile was created from an elliptical shape with sharp corners which gives that ink kind of appearance which is good for this kind of style. Most of the time though I prefer the appearance of the rounded ends of the calligraphic brushes. Also one advantage of the calligraphic brushes is that it can change its size or the size of the selected strokes with the [ and ] keys on the keyboard while with the art brushes this is done by changing the stroke weight which also can change the weight of calligraphic brushes in addition to the [ and ] keys.
Like in the tutorial I often use a similar workflow ending up with the brush strokes converted to filled paths but I simply use expand appearance then remove the unwanted parts with the Eraser brush which can be made pressure sensitive in the options that you get when double clicking the Eraser tool. This is less precise than the technique the guy is using in the video tutorial but it is quick, I like the hand touch appearance of the imperfections, and it also allows me to paint the white (transparent) highlights like for example the highlights on the booths of my cowboy. The Blob brush is the tool above the Eraser in the Tool panel and works basically the same like the Eraser but it adds to the fill of a path and it also has these and more options when you double click it. I use it most of the time in a combination with the Eraser to add or remove final details of illustrations started initially with brush strokes and then expanded. And like in the video tutorial I also like to keep a copy with the stage before expanding the brush strokes in case I need some changes on brush stroke level.
I also use a different technique for adding new color fills on the illustrations instead of cutting paths with the knife. I don't like the knife because I often do not like the first cut which I may realize later when undo is not the best workflow. What I do is copy paste in front the path and use the pencil tool set to edit the selected paths and change the shape of the selected path similar to using the knife but the pencil has to start and end on the path. The advantage of this for me is that the new fill with the different color is overlapping the original fill behind and when later I decide to change its shape I don't get gaps between the two colors which is what will happen if the knife was used.

Recurring postings and month/period end

Can someone tell me how an end-user is supposed to manage recurring postings when the month (period) end falls on a non-working day?
Take as an example a recurring posting that executes on the 31st of the month, which happens to be the (sub) period end date in the financial calendar.
If the 31st is a Saturday, like 31st May 2008, then the users are not presented with the list of recurring postings until Monday 2nd. However, it then seems to be impossible to post to the 30th or 31st, i.e. the period where you want the posting. B1 always creates a journal with a posting date of <today>.
If you look for recurring postings in advance, say on the 30th, you just get told that "There are no recurrent transactions to be executed today".
So you cannot execute them in advance and you cannot backdate the posting date.
The only workaround that I can find is to manually create a journal using the recurring template then remove the recurring posting without executing it.
Is there nothing better?

Douglas

Hi Douglas,
try this workaround published in our January newsletter:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=23101714
A company has set up recurring postings to be proposed for execution on particular days of the month. The company does not trade on the weekend. A recurring posting is scheduled for execution for example on a Saturday. The company accountant wants to change it to the following Monday. How can this be achieved?
Solution (Note 1114120):
Go to Financials -> Recurring Postings & click on 'Confirmation List'.
Identify the postings that need a date different from the current system date.
Go to Financials -> Journal Entry to open a new journal entry (JE).
In 'Template Type' in the header of the JE select 'Recurring Posting'.
The adjacent field 'Template' will be active, select the appropriate template code for the first recurring posting to have a different posting date.
The JE is populated automatically with the data from the template & the posting date can be changed before the JE is added.
The so created JE replaces the proposed instance of the recurring posting. The proposed recurring posting must now be removed.
In the confirmation window select the appropriate JE & click on 'Remove'.
The system message 'Delete selected Postings? - Remove/Cancel' appears. Click on 'Remove' to delete the appropriate proposed posting(s).
All the best,
Kerstin

Change the end point URL in WSDL for web-service

Hi All,
Morning , could someone please help us with this question, we are stuck with this currently.
In SOA Suite 10g as well 11g we have a jsimple Java class whose one of the methods is exposed as a web service.
In the project it has created the WSDL as well and have deployed the .ear file to the servers from EM console successfully.
Now we need to migrate this web service to testing & production environments.
1. Could someone please let us know the steps as to how do we change the end point url in the WSDL for this web service (present in web content --> WEB-INF/wsdl path in the j-developer project) for migration in case of both 10g (OC4J) as well 11g (WLS) servers.
2. Also could this change/update be done prior to deployment as well as post deployment as well.
Looking forward to inputs regards this...as we are stuck with this ..would be very helpful
Thanks as always for help & guidance..

Hi
As Vijay mentioned, you develop a WebService in JDeveloper and test in JDeveloper integrated Weblogic Server say at http://localhost:7101/MyWebService/MyPort?wsdl. Thats it. Once it is working. Export it into a .WAR file. If you have any other supporting EJB JARs etc, put all these into a full blown .EAR at application level. NOW deploy this .EAR or .WAR into any Domain on any host and any port. DOES not matter. That server's host and port will be taken. Infact even if this other domain is Clustered domain, still it will work by giving webserver host and webserver port that sits in front of the cluster.
I develop my webservices in JDeveloper and test at 7101 port. This .WAR gets deployed in QC Env at qchost:qcport. Same .WAR deployed to UAT at uathost:uatport and finally to prod also at prodhost:prodport.
Its just the Client (WebService Proxy) that is calling this WebService need to use appropriate host and port based on which Env it is connecting to. For this, simply do not hard code WSDL URL in the java code or anywhere. Simply get it from a .properties file using a key value pair like this.
WSDL_URL=http://host:port/MyWebService/MyPort?WSDL.
Now have Environment specific values for above key and put that properties file in that domain root folder. And in your code always refer this key.
You can use many approaches along the above lines.
If your WebServies proxy is a webservice adapter say within bpel, still you can modify the value using deployment plan .xml file file while deploying.
I would not absolutely prefer opening war file from ear and modifying war and updating ear file etc etc. Also do not have multiple EARs for Environment specific. Just have only one single EAR or WAR file that can be deployed to any environment.
Thanks
