Check amount vrs liability amount

Hi,
I need that the person who make the checks respect the liability amount so this person can`t change it in the check.
ex. if the liability amount is US$10,000.00 the person that makes the check enter US$10,000.00 in the check.
Right now this person can enter any amount in the check.
Thanks on advance.

Hi Chandra,
Thats right. You would anyways do a bank recon at which point these are moved into the bank main account.

  • Trouble trying to get correct AP Check Amount total on a report

    Okay, the challenge is to try and explain my situation well. I am in Discoverer Plus. I am working to develop a Discoverer report that will show, for accounts payable application, a summary report by bank name and job number, a check count, invoice count, and check amount total. For simplicity sake, since I have the problem once I go past one table, I am dealilng with tables ap_checks_all and ap_invoice_payments_all from EBS, the tables joined on check id. Now, if I work just with the ap_checks_all table, I can easily get the correct sum of check amounts (column name in the table is AMOUNT). However when I bring in the invoice payments table, then I run into trouble. I first did the SUM data point for AMOUNT, and got a number that was way too high. Figured out that is because anytime I have multiple invoices on a check (which is most of the time), the check amount gets added in for each invoice. So if check amount is $100.00 and the check pays 5 invoices, $500.00 is added to the total amount, instead of the just the $100.00.
    So I tried the SUM_DISTINCT function next - SUM_DISTINCT(AMOUNT). Got me a lot closer, but now my total was too low. Figured out that was because if I had separate checks with the same check amount, that check amount only gets added in one time. Say Check 18 is for $100.00 and Check 39 is for $100.00, I only get $100.00 into the total instead of $200.00. Which when you think about it, is exactly what the SUM_DISTINCT function means. Since the chances of check amounts being duplicated are low, that is why I get close to the right number, but when dealing with tens of thousands of checks, check amount duplication does happen.
    So on my totals for the SUM_DISTINCT column, I finally figured out that a CELL SUM got me closer to the right number. I only had a problem now when, on the same bank name and job number, would still have duplicate check amounts at that key (group by) status level. Percentage wise, my error is low - off maybe $200,000 out of $180,000,000. So close to the right number, yet so far.
    The same thing happens in raw SQL. If you think about the raw join result, you can see what is happening -
    check 1, check 1 amount, invoice 1
    check 1, check 1 amount, invoice 2
    check 2, check 2 amount, invoice 3
    check 3, check 3 amount, invoice 4
    So if you do SUM(CHECK AMOUNT), well yeah, it will add in the check 1 amount twice.
    If you do SUM_DISTINCT(CHECK AMOUNT), then check 1 amount only gets counted once. Great. Ahh, but what if check 3 amount = check 1 amount? Oops, the check 3 amount is excluded.
    Does anyone know of a way to get around this problem? I have been playing around with the functions, but the SQL reference does not give many examples to help understand all the various optional parameters. I know, in vague concept, what I want. Something like -
    SUM(AMOUNT) DISTINCT ON CHECK_ID, or
    SUM_DISTINCT(AMOUNT) DISTINCT ON CHECK_ID.
    CHECK_ID is the internal Oracle id number for each check, from the ap_checks_all table. Check number is not unique enough, since different bank accounts may be using the same check number in the same time period. So I want a way to be able to add my check amount to the total one time when there are multiple invoices on the check, and then get each invidual check amount (one time) added up to get my check total amount.
    Like I said, no problems with Discoverer or raw SQL if doing just one table. But once I join checks to invoice payments, poof, I run into trouble.
    I did not think I was trying to do anything unusual. So quite surprising that having so much trouble trying to find a way around this problem.
    Hope this detail explanation makes some sense. Thanks for any help/insight anyone can give me.

    Michael,
    Nope, that does not work. It truly just gives me an average. My desired (table) report row format is this -
    Bank name , Job Number, Check Count , Invoice Count , Check Amount Total
    So this is a SUMMARY report. Not a detail report. If I do detail, I do not have any problems - I get my correct check amount total. If I do just the ap_checks_all table, I get the correct amount (but then cannot get my invoice count). I get the correct check count (count distinct on check id). I get the correct invoice count. When I added a calculation column using the Average function as you suggested, I see on each row what is likely the average check amount. Which is exactly what you would expect to see.
    Now I did get a brainstorm and tried this. I calculated both the average and average distinct on check amount, then multiplied each by my check count. Darn. Still does not work. The Average Distinct * Check Count = SUM_DISTINCT(CHECK AMOUNT), which I already have. Average Distinct apparently only includes a duplicate check amount one time in calculating the average (which when you think about it, makes sense, darn it). The AVERAGE function still has the problem, it looks like, of including the check amount each time on checks with multiple invoices (and thus multiple rows in the join result) in determining the average. Which when you think about the raw join result from joining checks to invoice payments tables, makes sense. The result of AVERAGE * CHECK COUNT is better than the SUM(AMOUNT) column, but not as good as the SUM_DISTINCT(AMOUNT) column.
    Any other ideas? Interesting that something that seems like a pretty basic thing to do, if it does have a solution, is not a very obvious/simple solution.

  • Check Amount is clearing and posting to same Bank Sub A/c In FCHR

    Hi,
    Can any one explain the reason for the below issue in my Bank Accounting?
    when check is cleared using FCHR, Check Amount is not moving From Bank Sub A/c (Checks Issued A/c ) to Bank Main A/c.
    Check Amount is clearing and posting to same Bank Sub A/c. I have checked all the setings are fine (Posting Rules also fine).
    Thanks

  • Invoice amount-tds amount=check amount discoverer report

    Hi,
    In ap_invoice_payments_all table AMOUNT column -Ve ,+Ve amounts are coming in one column how to get the saperate columns in discoverer.
    EX:-Invoice amount(1000)-tds amount(200)=check amount(800)

    Hi phani,
    AMOUNT column -Ve ,+Ve amounts are coming Here tds amount is nothing but the tax deducted source,which will be applicable at the inovice level.For example the TDS amount will be applicable to that supplier where he has raised credit memo and there will be say 2% of tax deductable from the invoice amount of 100 then
    100(invoice amount)-20(tds)=80(payment amount).
    You can find this,i mean it will be described as a descriptive flex field in ap_invoice_distributions_all .
    Spliting can be done through DECODE or CASE
    Hope this helps you.
    Best Wishes,
    Kranthi.

  • Payment check amount field

    Hi;
    I've already made a Z for payment check and works fine, but we have notice something when preview the checks in the spool, some checks in the amount (in numbers) field "*****999,999.99" sometimes it´s moves like this:
    1) example                                    "......******999,999.99"
    2) example                              ".............******99,999.99"
    3) example                                   "....******999.99"
    and so....
    in DEV we made a lot of test printing in paper the payment check an worked fine, but the problem is in QAS.
    How can i get that the amount doesn´t move in the sapscript...?
    Thanks on advance,

    Hi David,
        create a SIGN aligned tab for that amount field. The tab is nothing but the position in the form from where the printing of that particular field should start.
    This should solve your problem.
    Please revert if you still face any problems.

  • Check amount -foreign vendor

    HI,
    we paid a foreign vendor thru check.when we  printed out the check ,the amount was messed up, decimal places got displaced, if actual amount was 3,475.00 it printed out as 3.475,00
    I know its cuz of country format, cuz vendor belongs to columbia.But if I change the country currency format,the change would be at the clinet level and our other companycodes may get affected.should I change the country currency format or is there any other way to correct it?Thanks
    Regards
    Shaun

    Thanks Andrew for quick reply, but currency format in the form is comptible with US format, and we run the checks in US$ for these foreign vendors with local vendors, its just these vendors belong to a country other than US in the master record.one simple fix could be to change the country in master record but client dont agree on that.

  • Void check - amount and issue date

    We do FCHX check extract to send the positive pay files to Bank. With FCHX, the issue date and amount is not getting extracted for voided checks. How can we populate these values (issue date and amount) in the file extract (FCHX) for check
    The data in the file is sorted according to account number and check number and its format corresponds to the internal format of the DTACHKH and DTACHKP structures.
    Thanks
    Ron
    Edited by: Ron on Mar 10, 2010 1:53 AM

    Hi,
    We can void a issued check and also unissued check.
    For unissued check, there will not be any amount and issue date. So no porbs.
    For the the issued scenario, bank just need infomration about the voided check number only, irrespective of amounts and issue date as per the standard practise is concerned.
    May be this information will not be useful to you...just to confirm...
    Thanks,

  • Sapscript - Copying check amount to Voucher

    Hi all,
    Anyone who knows how to copy/get the value of the amount field in the CHECK window and put it in the VOUCHER which is located in the main window.
    Thanks.

    Hi surya,
    The system processes the main window first that's why I am having a hard time getting the said value. Is it possible to let the program pass the CHECK window first without changing the standard program for check printing?
    Thanks.

  • Check amount of transition stock during inbound delivery creation

    I want to move stock between plans, therefore I have the following steps:
    1. Stock Transfer Order (STO), e.g. 500 pieces
    2. Sending plant: MIGO (GI for STO) with MT 351 to post to transition stock,  e.g. 100 pieces
    3. Receiving plant: Inbound Delivery with reference to STO VL31N
    4. process Inbound delivery in warehouse (SAP-WM)
    The question is:
    During step 3, when accessing VL31N the system proposes the full order quantity (e.g. 500 pc.)
    I can change the amount to any amount I like, e.g 240 pieces.
    How can I tell SAP, that Inbound delivery creation is only possible for the amount
    which has been posted to stock in transition (100 pieces)
    I want an error/warning message in case user wants to create Inbound delivery quantity higher than the amount that has been posted to transition stock.
    Any ideas?

    MIGO in sending Plant?
    How it is possible? MIGO means, Goods receipt. This should be in Receiving plant.
    Sending plant should do the PGI
    MIRO in receiving plant
    Billing in sending plant
    Payment from Receiving palnt and clearing in sending plant
    Correct me if i am wrong
    Thanks

  • Check amount of data and tablespace

    Hi,
    in RSA3 I can check the extraction of a datasource. The thing is that I cant find out how much data really will come up in BW.
    You have to select the number of data records there.
    Is there another transaction that will show me exactly for a datasource how many records will come up in BW when starting full upload in the infopackage and show me how much space should be available in database?
    And is there a transaction that will show me how much space is actually available in database to avoid an overflow?
    thank you guys!

    Hey,
    I think the only transaction that will help you to see how many records will come in a transaction is SE16. You just have to know how the extractor work and which tables are selected. E. g. if you build up data for 2LIS_05_Q0NOTIF than you can go to table QMEL to see how many data is there. It is not always so simple because not every record from a main table for a datasource is always selected. But normally it should give you a good direction.
    Find main table for datasource and check in SE16.
    Do learn about database go to DB02 or DBACOCKPIT. There you can find information about the whole database and also single tables.
    I think to say in advance how many space is necessary for a datasource this is a little bit difficult. normaly you don't catch all fields of one table, other fields are enhanced. It also depends on your target structure. PSA would be simple, for DSO you have active and change log table to consider and InfoCube has a star schema with different tables where it mainly depends on your modelling.
    Maybe it can help you to search for topic BW sizing in SDN.
    Kind regards,
