COI Method in Accounting Technique

Hi
my client is looking to clear system Generated Goodwill where this is offset with Negative Goodwill.
We were looking to impair both the +ve and -ve Goodwill.  However the current config posts the Amortisation Balance sheet entry to seperate accounts than the Capitalised Goodwill/ accounts.
There is 1 single COI methiod assigned to all companies.  My question - if we create a seperate COI method for the different Amortisation treatment, are there any downfalls to changing the assigned COI method in the accounting techniques, during the fiscal year. Also once changed, can this be changed back again in the next period ?
Regards

Dan
I am trying a few things in a sandbox, and we do not get PL02/12/22 docs, however upon CoI, you get a method change doc.
I have come across another issue in that I have gone back to the period in which GW was created, updated the GW activity to amortise the GW, and then rerun COI.  The amortisation is posting at different group levels than the GW. This seems like a bug, but I was wondering whether anybody had come across this before.
Regards

  • Consolidation Unit in the wrong position in Accounting Techniques tree

    Hi all,
    I'm facing a problem with a consolidation unit (A) in the Accounting Techniques tree (T1).
    The issue is resolved when I delete the unit A from the consolidation group tree (T2) but, when I add the unit A to the consolidation group tree (T2) again, the unit appears in two places, and that is not correct.
    I've tried to delete and move the unit through the Accounting techniques tree (T1), but the problem continues.
    Can you help me??
    Thanks in advance.
    Inge Eichhorns

    In some cases it is standard for a cons unit to be included in the Acctg Techniques assignment multiple times. Because the assignments may different at various levels in the hierarchy, especially when not inherited downward.
    One way to check this or change this is to check the assignments via the cons group view by clicking on the cons group and selecting View > Cons Group.

  • Documentation on Retail Method of Accounting

    Dear all,
    can anyone help me out or provide me some document on Retail method of accounting (RMA).
    Thanks in advance.

    Within SAP Retail, SAP supports essentially three inventory valuation methods: cost method of accounting (CMA), retail method of accounting RMA), and extended retail method of accounting (ERMA).
    CMA and ERMA are calculated in ERP (see values and units in table MBEW) with stock ledger reports provided in BI.
    The RMA Stock Ledger sits in BI and takes goods movements and revaluations from ERP and POS to recalculate inventory according to an RMA formula.  At the end of the period, adjustments -- the difference in ending inventory and COGS between CMA and RMA -- are posted into the general ledger so that the G/L reflects RMA results not the standard, ERP, CMA results.  Standard RMA stock ledger reports are also offered in BI.
    Additional information for RMA can be found in the online documentation here:

  • F110 error - No Valid Payment Method found - Account ID missing

    Hello All,
    I am trying to clear some Vendor invoices in F110 using a Payment method. We have entered the House Bank at the time of posting the Vendor Invoice (Invoice is posted through an BAPI) and I am able to see the House Bank in BSEG - HBKID.
    Further for the Payment Method we are using only one House Bank and one Account ID - which has been configured correctly in FBZP - Bank Determination.
    However when we are running F110 for clearing the invoices - we are getting an error no valid payment method found. I am able to see the Payment Method & the House Bank while editing the Proposal - only Parameter which is missing is Account ID - though we have maintained it in Bank Determination configurartion.
    Any help will be appreciated a lot to fix this issue.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ankur

    Dear,
    Everything may be alright but payment method is assigned to Bank Account in Bank selection section FBZP. So, system will process payment from the bank account with assigned payment method. So, there is no Account ID system is not able to find the payment method. It is difficult to provide remedy. If house bank and account ID is not in the vendor master then update them.
    Just try it out....all the best.

  • Changing the Accounting Method?

    Hello Gurus,
    I have a client that has the Primary Accounting Method set to 'Cash' in Payables.
    Now they want to change it to 'Accrual'.
    They have Payables, General Ledger and HRMS implemented.
    I understand that Oracle does not support it.
    However, has anyone done it?
    Does anyone have the steps to implement this change?
    Please help!
    Regards,
    Jay

    Let me explain you why Oracle doesn't support this.
    Payment accounting is depending on Invoice Accounting in Accrual Method and for Cash Method Invoice doesn't have accounting.
    Lets say
    Invoice Item Expense is 100.
    For Cash Method:
    Invoice Accounting - No
    Payment Accounting - Item Expense 100dr, Cash 100cr
    For Accrual Method:
    Invoice Accounting - Item Expense 100dr, Liability 100cr
    Payment Accounting - Liability 100dr, Cash 100cr (This Liability line is dependent on Invoice Accounting, this is called Business Flow in SLA)
    As you want to change the Method from Cash to Accrual, if any payment after changing method is paying any invoice, which has accounting before the change of method will error out.
    Because, Payment expects Invoice Accounting Liability Line to be present and Invoice has been accounting through Cash Method there won't be any accounting present.

  • Cash Based Accounting Method

    Hi Experts
    There are two methods of accounting, 1. Cash based Accounting Method and 2. Accrual based Accounting Method.  In Cash based Accounting Method- Expenses are accounted after cash paid and Revenues are accounted after cash received.  SAP is more of Accrual Based accounting system like Providision of Goods/Service received, Sales Invoice accounting etc..
    My question is, Is it any specific configuration avilable for Cash based Accounting method? or we have to configure existing system for Cash based Accounting method?
    Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks
