Check if a balance sheet account is a bank account

Hi All,
How can we determine that a particular balance sheet account (any GL account) is a bank account or not?
Thanks,
Bhaskar

Hi Bhaskar,
This is one option.
There is one table SKA1 which stores all account codes.
In that there is one field KTOKS.
If that field value is CABK = Cash and Bank Accounts, then it is a bank account.
You can do F4 on that field and see the various kinds of master values and check if there are other codes for BANK.

CO account assignment on a GR/IR Account (Balance sheet Account)

The GR/IR account line item on Goods Receipt(GR) documents picks up the account assignment ( WBS Element, Cost center or an Order) from the Purchase order account assignment.
The GR/IR account is defined as a Balance sheet account. So it is abnormal to pick up a CO account assignment on the GR/IR account line item on a Goods receipt or Invoice document.
I shall appreciate if some expert here lets me know if there is a fix(an OSS note) in order for the GR/IR account NOT to pick up a CO account assignment on the subsequent documents(Goods receipt and Invoice) from the Purchase order.
Thanks in advance.
Vijayanth

Hi Vijaynath,
If you have the modules like CO, PS, FM, IM and activated the above modules, at the time of the GR system compulsarly will ask for account assignment. Because PO might be crated for a project or cost center. In the above 2 cases system will look for account assignment.
I guess system picksup the cost center or WBS against the Raw Material account but not for the GR/IR clearing account. Please check it.
For the raw material and asset accounts you can create statistical cost elements.
Thanks & Regards,

Credit Memo all my material items to be directly posted to Balance Sheet account

Hi Experts
My client has a scenario where for certain items they create a credit memo request document and finally a credit memo document from the VKOA system is picking the revenue bearing GL and posting all the line items to that G/L account
Manually my customer is again checking and extracting the p/l and posting to balance sheet account
is there a way where we can directly post these entries to Balance Sheet account
Best Regards
Waseem

Hi Sanil
Thanks for the quick reply, can we assign a balance sheet account directly in VKOA in the G/L account field or do we need to add this in directly in Provision acc field
As suggested by you we already have the access sequence with respect to Order Reason, I am just doubtful wether we can directly give Balance Sheet account in G/L account field
Best Regards
Waseem

     SAPF011).
Please let me know the procedure to do this change, or do i have to run any report.

Message no FH017 Open item management only allowed for balance sheet accounts

Dear All,
i try to change one Balance Sheet account to P&L Account. However i failed changing the account.
it pops up the error Message no FH017.
For this error, i have already untick the Open Item Management
Can anyone help me on this? Very appreciated on this!
Cheers
Jill

Aslo see help on open Item managed field by pressing f1
Indicator: Open Item Management?
Determines that open items are managed for this account.
Use
Items posted to accounts managed on an open item basis are marked as open or cleared. The balance of these accounts is always equal to the balance of the open items.
Procedure
Set up accounts with open item management if offsetting entries are to be assigned to the postings made to these accounts. Postings to these accounts represent incomplete transactions.
Example:
A goods receipt/invoice receipt (GR/IR) clearing account should be managed on an open item basis so that you can check at any time whether invoices have been received for the goods received for an order.
Set up accounts without open item management if no offsetting entry is to be made against a posting to this account.
Examples
Accounts that are managed on an open item basis include:
Clearing accounts:
Bank clearing account
Payroll clearing account
Cash discount clearing account
GR/IR clearing account
Accounts that are not managed on an open item basis:
Bank accounts
Tax accounts
Raw material accounts
Reconciliation accountsThese are managed implicitly using the subledger open item function.Profit and loss accounts
Materials Management (MM) accounts posted with a posting key that has account type 'M'

Message FH017 Open item management only allowed for balance sheet accounts

Hi,
While creating a new GL account with P&L type it's giving the above message. If I select the BS type indicator, it's saving without any error.
I observed, account group selection is creating this problem. Since creation of other accounts in other accounts groups doesn't get such problems.
Any clues??
Thanks in advance
Durga.

Commitment Item for Balance Sheet accounts

Hi all,
Can someone clearly explain the need to create commitment items for balance sheet accounts? I have searched a lot and have not found a satisfactory explanation. Since balance sheet accts are typically not budgeted, why do they even have to be reflected in FM?
Please explain.
Thanks,
MJ

Hi,
Sometimes, there is a need in budget check, through posting on balance sheet accounts, e.g. stocks, assets, etc. However, in most other cases it's indeed not necessary and the commitment item given should be either dummy one or in special cases, GR/IR, banks, etc., defined specifically for the issue in question.
Keep in mind, that once FM is activated every relevant posting must have FM assignment, including those on balance sheet accounts. That's why, even if you don't want to manage the budget, you have to assign FM objects to these postings.
Regards,
Eli

Balance Sheet account in a Purchase Requisition

Can I use a Balance Sheet account on a Purchase Requisition? We currently do that and would like to be able to keep doing it. However, no matter what BS account I try to use it says "GL Account XXX cannot be used".
Also/Or what Account Assignment Category should I be using? I'm trying T.

That post is particularly hard to follow. It seems to say you can do it and you can't do it in the same thread.
In the end, I can't get it to work and need to know if it's not possible or if I just need to change some data and/or configuration. If I check the flag "Post Automatic Only" on the GL account, and try to use it on a Requisition, I get the error "No direct postings can be made to GL account xxxxx in Company Code YYY."
If I uncheck the flag "Post Automatic Only" I get the error, "GL Account XXXX cannot be used (please correct)."
These are definitely errors and not warnings. Either way it will not let me do it.
If SAP allows it, then I still need to change something.

Budget Control for Balance Sheet Accounts

Hi All,
How can we manage budgets for Balance sheet Accounts such as Fixed Assets, IT Infrastructure, Capital Work in progress etc.,
Thanks,
Srikanth

Hi Mr Vemuri,
The acount will appear in the budget setup if you go to:
Financials -> Chart of Accounts -> Select the account -> 'Account Details' -> check the box 'Relevant to Budget'.
By default only Profit and Loss accounts are included in the budget setup.
I tested this in:
2005B
2005A SP01
2007A
I hope this helps.

PCA-MIRO: Porfit center on balance sheet accounts

Dear Experts,
I face the following issue:
During invoice verification (MIRO) the profit center which was mentioned in the Purchase Order (the profit center to be assigned on P&L account during Goods Receipt and, if applicable, during invoice verification on the P&L account in case of differences) is assigned on the GR/IR balance sheet account in despite of balance sheet accounts are not transferred to PCA.
It is an issue because it multiplies the number of line items during invoice verification (one line item for each profit center). Due to that, substitution would not be an solution since it will erase the profit center but not concatenate line items. Field status group of my GL account set the profit center field as "suppressed". MM field status group cannot be changed since the profit center is useful for the P&L account.
I believe the solution should be in MM and line item summarization, but I cannot succeed.
Please, could you support me?
Many thanks in general for this forum and in advance for your help,
King regards, Gregory.

Hello
Like FI field status groups, where we can manage screen field control, there are field status groups for movement types.
So in MM check FSG for these movement types and make them optional. It is somewhere in IMG in MM.
Hope you would get values.

Balance sheet accounts not updating in GLPCA / GLPCT

Hello,
I am working on MySAP 6.0 version and posting FI document giving profit center as an account assignment.
When I check the table entries in GLPCA and GLPCT I could see only P&L accounts updated in these tables but not the balance sheet accounts viz Bank Account.
To be more elaborate if my entry is as under
Dr Expense Account (PCA1) GLPCA / GLPCT (It is updated)
Cr Bank Account (PCA2) GLPCA / GLPCT (ignoring this line item)
However if I post a similar entry directly into PCA module these tables do get updated with balance sheet accounts.
Would anybody have any reasoning for this?

HI
Originally till 4.7 SAP had only month end transaction to push many of balance sheet items to PCA only from the new versions it is having this online transfer usinf assignment of PCA to Gl accounts and then deriving PCA through splitting rules. Thats is why P7L items automatically flow however for balance sheet items especially creditors and debtors, bank and others it requires proper derivation.
Even in Balance sheet Asset will flow automatically

PCA for Full Balance Sheet Accounting

Dear SAP Guru,
We're currently in 4.7. We've implemented PCA for Profit and Loss Accounting. There's business requirement to produce Full Balance Sheet Accounting in PCA, i.e. the one similar to Business Area. Can the standard PCA module (in 4.7) support Full Balance Sheet Accounting? If can, what are the settings and steps that need to be configured in the system? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hello,
you can get the full balance sheet from PCA.
The steps are:
1. You must make sure that you have completed financial statement version (OB58).
2. Copy this account groups to PCA. (Please check the paths to copy the FSV to your PCA.
3. See the available reports in KE80. One of the report must suit your requirement.
4. If they are not suitable to your requirement, create your own balance sheet format (using form and report) - Report painter.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Ravi

Can we create a cost element for a Balance Sheet account?

Hi folks,
Is it possible to create a cost element for a balance sheet account? If yes, what are the scenerios we would need it and how is it done?
thanks in advance

Hello
Please review the below information regarding cost elements category 90 : Financial Accounting Balance Sheet Accounts
Category 90 is automatically assigned when you create cost elements in CO whose   general ledger accounts in FI are asset reconciliation accounts
(special balance sheet accounts), not income statement accounts. You
cannot change this category in CO master data maintenance.
FI does not require CO account assignments to cost elements of
category 90. However, if you enter an account assignment, it is only
recorded statistically for real objects.
Category 90 allows you to check order or project budgets for fixed
asset procurement. To do so, enter the investment order or WBS element
in the corresponding field in the asset master. The Asset Management
component ensures that the order or element automatically appears in
the document when you access the asset procurement.
The R/3 System debits the order/WBS element statistically in the
Controlling component, which you can then monitor with availability
control.
You can treat cost elements of category 90 as activity-independent as
part of cost center planning.
Also see note 75980 for further information. From the note:
The use of cost element category 90 is only provided in the standard
system in the following two cases:
1. As of Release 3.0G, asset acquisitions and down payments which are
      assigned directly to a fixed asset or asset under construction can
      be assigned to an account on internal orders or WBS elements
      statistically. In this manner, for example, an availability check
      can be triggered on the order or the WBS element for asset posting.
2. As of Release 4.0, cost elements of category 90 can also be created
      for material stock accounts to display material make-to-order stocks
      on sales orders or customer projects.
