Clearing of GR/IR clearing account/small difference account

Hi,
There is a huge amount (around 50 lacs) that is piled up in small differnce GL account (acount key - DIF) over the last 2 months. And as well if we check the GR/IR clearing account, it is more or less the same.
I've not used MR11 until now and so would like to know if this can be tackled with F.13 or MR11, if so what would be effect or in other words what should be my course of action.
I've tried checking some information, however as the time is very short and a scheduled month end is slated in other 3 days, I'd like to have some suggestions on this.
Regards,
Soujanya.

Hi,
Owing to the nature of this account(expense account) please note that F.13 or MR11 will never clear it since they are meant for clearing only GRIR related accounts.
You have to options here in order to nullify the balance in it.
1.. To wait untill year end so that amount in it will automatically be closed to Retained earning account as soon as you execute FAGLGVTR.
2.. For immediate purpose charge off its amount to retained earnings.
Beside this you should find out reasoning why such an huge amount is standing in it.
Regards

  • Small differences [ BD key invoice tolerances ] related issue

    Hi  ,
    Is it possible to Book Small differences during Invoice Posting to original expense account & concerned cost object automatically, all the time.
    It sounds bit weird , but is it possible.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanx ,

    Hi,
    Objective here is to post differences which are too small to investigate, so system posts an additional line  during invoice verification either to debit or credit the small difference account

  • Cost clearing account (COS) f.13 clearing small differences.

    Hi,
    We have a COS clearing account 1234.
    We have small differences which we would like to clear with F.13.
    I tried with OBA0, but I do not know how to activate the tolerance group on the G/L account
    because the tolereance group is missing and I cannot add it with field status.
    It could also be the case that it is not the correct way to do it.
    Please let me know.
    Best regards,
    Eric.

    Hi
    Can anybody help with this question, because the former solution I cannot fibure out that it helps, because I created everything, except the tolerance group on the G/L master. I cannot find the field.

  • Automatic Clearing with Small Difference

    Hi all,
    I want to one GL Account to Automatic Clearing (f.13) with Small Difference consider with another GL account.
    Manual Clearing Working is fine.

    Spradip
    Edited by: spradip on Dec 20, 2011 1:24 PM

    you will have to setup the open item clearing config
    GL based tolerances
    tolerance grp
    assigning tolerance grp to users
    have a clearing GL to clear the difference amount.
    If these are setup correctly, the clearing is possible.
    once this config is setup, try manual clearing once and then use the same GL as part of F.13.
    if you have problems and If you are an ABAP savvy, try debugging and catch hold of what is it looking for....usually the above setting should help you clear.

    Hi,
         When u r clearing Transaction F.13 do the settings in Tolerance settings for rounding off SPRO - financial accounting - general ledger accounting - business transactions - open item clearing - clearing differences                                        
    - Define tolerance groups for GL accounts                                        
    and you can set clearing differences go to SPRO - financial accounting - general ledger accounting - business transactions - open item clearing - clearing differences                                        
    - Create accounts for clearing differences.

  • Automatic Clearing of GR-IR Clearing account

    Dear all
    In f.13 i am not able to do automatic clearing of rg-ir clearing account ,i am getting the massage no clearing procedures are carried out despite all selection criterial fulfilled .
    This is needed because i want only credit balances in GR/IR account after clearing which i will get in FBL3. There both the credit and debit entries are coming . Is it possible that if GR and IR is completed for perticular material amount is same then it sould not appear in report fbl3.

    Hi,
    Before performing the GR/IR Clearing, just to ensure that there are no open debit entries in the GR/IR Account, run the report thru the T Code "MR11" - Maintain GR/IR Clearing Account. While specifying the parameters, under the 'Clear Tab' check the boxes for GR/IR Clearing Account as well as Delivery Costs, this will take into account all GR/IR entries, ones meant for materail cost as well those for planned delivery costs. Under the 'Surplus Types' Tab check for Delivery Surplus as well as Invoice Surplus. Since we are just running a report ensure that under the 'Processing' Tab - "Automatic Clearance" is UNCHECKED. In the quantity variance put 100%.  Exececute the report and all cases wherever there is a difference between the Quantity delivered and Quantity Invoiced,  will get reported. Look for the cases where the Difference Quantity appears in minus. These are the cases where the quntatity invoiced is more than the quantity delivered and will result in open debit entries in GR/IR Account, even after the GR/IR Clearing is performed thru F.13. Investigae these cases and take appropriate action.
    Assign points if found useful.
    Thanks.

  • What is the purpose of F-03 clearing? How to clear GL account there in F-03

    HI,
    What is the purpose of F-03 clearing? How to clear GL account there in F-03.Please help me in understanding the concept.
    Thanks
    Supriya

    Hello,
    There are cases where you pass some manual entries which might not have cleared against the other related item, THOUGH the balance has been ZERO.  Like cases where you reverse logistics invoice through MR8M, then entry gets reversed but they are still open items. Like some GRIR accounts might have debit and credit entries for same purchase order and the balance MIGHT have become ZERO, but still they are open item. To clear all these open itesm (changing the status of the open items to cleared items, you need to use F-03)
    Please go to F-03 and give the GL account which want to manually clear the debit and credit items.
    Normally you will this kind of activity for clearing account, where there is no automatic clearing mechanism explained in OB74.
    now click on open items. (if you know any specific things like document number etc. you can fill them, then they will act as a FILTER and only those document numbers you feeded will be appeared)
    Now select the items you want to clear. Deselected all other you do not want to clear. Selected items will be in blue colour and the difference at the end of the screen MUST be ZERO to post (unless you configured otherwise)
    Click on save button.
    The entries passed will GL Account A Dr and GL Account B Cr. Meaning that there is no implication but posting the debit and crediting the same account and clearing the status of the line items from OPEN to CLEARED.
    Hope I am clear.

  • Clearing of open line items in Exchange Vendor account

    Hi Friends,
    We have an issue related with the clearing of open items from the exchange vendor account. Details of issue are as follows,
    We have two open line items in an exchange vendor account (T-code FBL1N) pertaining to the Logistics purchase invoice and a credit memo. These documents are very old documents posted in the year 2005. When user tries to clear or net these documents using T-code FB1K( using the current period), SAP generates the clearing document, i.e. it gives only a clearing document number and sends an email to user stating that update has been terminated. When we try to view the clearing document so generated using T-code FB03, system do not finds it, i.e. it is actually not in system / tables. Also most important thing these open items continues to appear in the vendor account, i.e. they are not getting cleared.
    Some of our observations about the related exchange Purchase Order is that, this PO has document date 03/31/2004 having qty. 5659 GA. The very first GR and related invoice is also having qty 5659 GA and posting date of 03/31/2004. After this user had again created above mentioned documents that are in question i.e. invoice and credit memo. These documents were posted on 04/12/2005 for the qty of 22592 GA (Even though the PO qty is 5659 GA).
    Now we would like to know what would be the probable reason for these open items not getting cleared from the vendor account. Please note user also tried to clear these documents using F-44 T-code but no luck.
    Thanks,
    Ritesh/Ninad

  • Clearing foreign currency payments against local currency bank account

    Hi all
    We have foreign currency invoices (eg in USD, EUR) and would like to pay these from a AUD domestic bank account. Is this common practice or does the client need to enter such invoices in their external bank specific terminal to process such payments if they have a domestic currency bank account.
    How does the Electronic bank Statement (which is in AUD) clear these foreign currency invoices (EFT clearing account or suspense account). I presume we would have to post to a suspense account clearing and then do a manual post with clearing after loading the bank statement.  However, the amounts do not balance to zero as i cannot clear items off as they are in different document currencies as noted below.
    INVOICE
    cr vendor  100USD   200AUD - cleared by payment program
    dr expense 100USD   200AUD
    PAYMENT PROGRAM
    cr Sus clg 100USD   210AUD
    dr vendor  100USD   200AUD - Cleared by payment program
    dr FX g/l    0USD    10AUD
    ELECT. BANK STATEMENT
    dr Sus clg 205AUD
    cr Cash    205AUD
    What would be the standard approach for such postings from an SAP bank accounting functionality point of view.
    Is there a better way of design the above payment process.

    Hi,
    this is a hard task.
    You have to play with the GL account master data. See documentation for field "Only balances in local crcy". It is quite good described for the clearing in foreign currencies.
    Also I have some doubts that there were settings in FI for foreign currencies clearing, but I have never customize it.
    Hope I helped you (if so... points reward would be highly appreciated )

  • MIGO Cancellation with MM Small Difference

    Hi SAP Guru,
    i have question regarding "MM Small diff. loss" in the accounting document for Good Receipt (cancellation).
    in Period 09/12 my material "ABC" cost price is 33.60, and this material stock is for Plant "1000". the order quantity is 48 unit. When creating PO, my user has wrongly put the cost price to 3.60, and that PO XXXXXX has been good receipt in period 09/12.
    with in the period 09/12. there is other PO that has been GR with the correct Cost price (33.60). In the Period 10/12 my user has realize the cost price for PO XXXXX  is wrong, and my user has perform the cancellation using MIGO,
    when i check the cancellation accounting document, i found out there is a line item for "MM small diff. loss". what does this "MM small diff. loss" mean ? as my understanding , i know found this on the MIRO.
    thie is account entry
    11109050      Stock-PrtGenuinePart           1,612.80-
    21104010      GRIR GenuinePar                  161.28
    60220940      MM small diff. loss                 1,451.52

    Whenever there is a price variance during goods posting or invoice posting, in case of standard price, a price difference account is being hit to clear it.
    But sometimes price difference account also pops up in moving average price. Whenever there is a price variance and we dont have enough stock/stock value to clear it, then the remaining amount will hit the price difference.
    As your case is normal and just  to understand better, I provide another example.
    MAP : 10 INR
    Total stock quantity: 10 EA
    Total stock value: 100 INR
    Now an invoice for 40 material with price variance of 5 INR ( ie the invoice price per unit = 10 INR- 5 INR =5INR ) have to be posted . So the stock account should be credited ny 5*40 INR = 200 INR . But the total stock value is 100 INR.
    In this case the system credit the stock account by 105 INR =50 INR, and post the remaining 305 INR = 150 INR to price difference account.

  • While posting MIRO price difference account is not determimg for price vari

    Hi Sapients,
    Please solve the production issue which we have faced yesterday while doing month end closing
    In one P.O 4 items are there,User has posted entries in below sequence
    Material type is TRADING GOODS
    1)first MIRO with QTY 10 @100$ each,Later
    2)MIGO has done with QTY 10 @100$
    Raw Material account -
    1000$
    to GR/IR CLEARING ACCOUNT -
    1000$
    2)User has reverse the MIRO transaction with QTY 10 @ 100$ each.(with refer to step1)
    3)Finally he post MIRO with QTY 10 @ 90$ each, so here ther is no qty variance has come only price variance has come, so when posting the difference is not going to price difference and the entry is paasing like this
    GR/IR CLEARING ACCOUNT -
    900$
    TO Vendor 900$
    If u see in step 2 GR/IR having 1000$, but in step 3 while MIRO posting GR/IR as 900$ so for the remaing balance 100$ not going to price variance .I Belive the entry in step will be like this
    GR/IR CLEARING ACCOUNT -
    1000$
    TO Vendor 900$
    TO Price difference 100$.
    Kindly give solution why it is not going to price difference it was happening only for item 2 & 3 only for 40 iem it is posting correctly to price difference account.Please advice me why system behavig differently for each item.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi Padmasri,
    Thanks for your explanation. Ok. if the price is maintained in S, does that mean the price difference would get posted only to PRD. In other words, if price indicator is V, is that the only time when the price difference gets posted to stock account. In case if there is no sufficient stock or if there is negative stock at that time, that's when the amount would get posted to stock loss or gain account. Please suggest if I've understood the concept right.
    Hi,
    The PRD will trigger when the standard price maintained in the material mater record is different from the price in MIGO . The other chance is the material is maintained with MAP and MIRO done before GR ,The value of the quntity (not available in stock )
    will get posted to PRD. I hope this will resolve your issue. Thanking you
    You had suggested: The other chance is the material is maintained with MAP and MIRO done before GR ,The value of the quntity (not available in stock ) will get posted to PRD. I hope this will resolve your issue.
    You are right: I forgot to mention that the price indicator is V. The other point is we purchase the materials from an internal vendor, as and when the materials are dispatched from the main storehouse in Sri Lanka, there is an advice that is created in the system and that is interfaced and parked in the system. However, normally until the GR is done IV will not happen. But there could be a chance, as the advice gets created within 24 hours. However the material to reach the godown in our warehouse will take more than 24 hours as the goods have to be shipped from SL, so IV is possible before GR.

    There's a situation where the user is trying to clear the transaction using F-04 for clearing outgoing checks account in CAD. however the system gives a message "Ex rate diff. accts are incomplete for account 1100000 currency CAD".
    This situation exists only in Production and not in QA or DEV. However, there is no configuration change between PRD & QA,
    There is account configured for ExchagenRate difference realized in OBA1 for the reconciliation account 2100000, same as in QA and DEV. not able to figure out where is the issue.

    Hello
    As per the message you need to maintain the exchange rate differences for th account 1100000.
    if there is no exchange rate difference then system wont give that error message, in quality and development exchange rates are not maintained daily thatu2019s the reason it wont give the error message
    please maintain the exchange rate accounts for the account either with currency CAD or without any currency will resolve the issue
