  • Report using Alternate/Country Chart of Accounts

    How can I write a report (in report painter/report writer) using accounts from an alternate/country chart of accounts?    I cannot see "Chart of Accounts" as a selection characteristics in the report libray.
    thank you,
    Lanny

    Hi,
    when working with Report Painter / Report Writer, the first question is which is the summary table of the library you want to create your report in?
    If this is an FI-SL summary table (something beginning usually with ZZ ending with T), then  most probably you only have a chance if that field (i.e, the alternative account number) is one of the characteristics in your ZZ*T summary table. If it is not, you have to write a custom ABAP report based on the summary table, and read the alternative account from the master record. The same is the case if your library is based on table GLT0 (GL balances table in the "classic" GL - NOT newGL).
    Hope that helps, points welcome

  • Country chart of accounts mapping to operational chart of accounts

    Hi All,
    We intend to use country specific chart of accounts to one of our company code along with operational chart of accounts. We try to map 1 operational G/L account to a group of country G/L accounts, system not allowing doing this, understanding it allows only 1:1 mapping.
    Is there any work around to achieve this?
    Requirement at country COA level, G/L accounts should be created and reported by Department: e.g.
    Salary u2013 Finance u2013 600100
    Salary u2013 R/D u2013 600110
    Salary u2013 Marketing u2013 600120
    The same way for couple of P&L accounts to be created, but in operational COA we do have only one expense or revenue account these are used across the globe (all company codes).
    I heard that, it is possible in SPECIAL PURPOSE LEDGER, creating new ledger and assigning the country specific chart of accounts, inputting some validation to achieve this purpose.
    Simulating the purpose, with an example; during posting, where Operational COA G/L ACCOUNT equals to specific COST CENTER check FUNCTIONAL AREA and pick the appropriate country COA G/L ACCOUNT .
    Substitution for Validation; Functional Area = Country Specific G/L Account
    Currently Iu2019m using the mySAP and using New G/L (not document split), would like to achieve the Special Purpose Ledger functionality by creating a new ledger type in New G/L to map country specific chart of accounts to operational chart of accounts (N:1).
    Please share any other alternatives avail to achieve this.
    The reports are needed by functional area,
    Balance sheet by functional area G/L accounts (country specific COA)
    (Figured some difficulty to assign functional area to G/L accounts, though I have cost of sales accounting is activated)
    T/B by functional area G/L accounts (country specific COA)
    Journals by functional area G/L accounts (country specific COA)
    Document line items by functional area G/L accounts (country specific COA)
    Please try to share you thoughts and advice on this.
    Thanks.
    Vyas

    Dear  Vyas,
    We have similar requirement as yours
    Requirement at country COA level, G/L accounts should be created and reported by Department: e.g.

    Salary u2013 R/D u2013 600110
    Salary u2013 Marketing u2013 600120
    I would like to know how are u handling this situation.

  • Country chart of accounts and alternative account No.

    Hello Experts
    we're using country chart of accounts and alternative account No. to fullfill FICO China localization, now I have below questions:
    1, In manual FI posting in company code of china, eg. by transaction code FB01, which account number is used for this posting? Account number in operational chart of accounts or account number in country chart of accounts?
    2, The alternative account No. in country chart of accounts also needs to be created with compnay code level master?
    Or we just need create account in operational chart of accounts with company code level master?
    3, If we use account in operational chart of accounts for FI posting  by company code of China, after posing, two accounting documents are generated, one with account in operational chart of accounts? Another one with account in country chart of accounts?
    4. Country chart of accounts is used for consolication purpose? Is there some difference with group chart of accounts?
    Thanks,
    Nicole

    Hi Nicole,
    1, In manual FI posting in company code of china, eg. by transaction code FB01, which account number is used for this posting? Account number in operational chart of accounts or account number in country chart of accounts?
    > Account No. in Operation Chart of Accounts is always used for FI posting. Alternative Account No. is always for information purpose.
    2, The alternative account No. in country chart of accounts also needs to be created with compnay code level master?
    Or we just need create account in operational chart of accounts with company code level master?
    > You only create Operational Chart of Accounts for posting. Alternative Account No. can be of two types 1):-is a freely definable text and you don't have any chart of Account for that, for example say legacy No. 2) The Account No. from a country Chart of Accounts, in this case you create a GL in Country Chart of Accounts.
    3, If we use account in operational chart of accounts for FI posting by company code of China, after posing, two accounting documents are generated, one with account in operational chart of accounts? Another one with account in country chart of accounts?
    > Not True. Only Operation Chart of Accounts will get posted. In the Alternative Account No., the Alternate Account No. will get populated.
    4. Country chart of accounts is used for consolidation purpose? Is there some difference with group chart of accounts?
    > No. Country Chart of Account is used for External reporting.. Group Chart of Account is used for Consolidation.

  • Report for country chart of account

    I am trying to run a report which has in the selection screen the option 'chart of account', for example S_ALR_87012277, in order to report it by the 'country chart of account' and the system show me an error 'Company codes and charts of accounts entered are incompatible
    Message no. FR102'.
    This is the country chart of account of the company. I thought it is possible for this kind of report and not only for the balance P&G, because it does not have sense the field in the selections screen if i can not use it.
    Any idea??
    Thanks,
    cecilia

    Hi sandy,
    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I saw this field, the problem is that not all legal reports that can select the chart of account has this flag, for example S_ALR_87099949.
    Thanks,

  • Country Chart of Accounts

    Hi,
    We have two company codes , one is India and one is in Malaysia which are using the same operational chart of accounts say ABC, when we are posting the transactional data we are using the company code currency.
    In case of country specific reporting since we are posting the transactional date in INR, we can this ABC operational chart of accounts for country specific reporting.
    What is the need of creating a country specific chart of accounts and create GL accounts under country specific and assign it in FS00 under alternative chart of accounts.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    The SAP name for alternate chart of accounts is 'Country Chart of Accounts
    Chart of Accounts According to Country Legislation
    The country chart of accounts represents the account structure prescribed under national regulations.
    Use
    The usage is optional and only necessary where the chart of accounts you are using is not allowed under national regulations.

  • Country Chart of Accounts - The need

    Hi Experts,
    It is generally said that Country Chart of Accounts are required to comply with Country legal requirements, but what kind of requirements could those be?
    Some of the things which I could think of are:
    1. Local GL numbering convention is different than the global one (for instance, China/France has this requirement).
    2. More than one Company Code exists for a country and so the Country Chart of ACcounts can be used for consolidating at Country level...this may not be the legal requirement, though.
    Thanks in advance.

    hi Pradeep,
    Country Chart of Accounts is not used for consolidation but in some countries like CHina they have legal requirement, The Govt. will provide the specific format and you need to maintain your books of accounts in that format. All Financial Statement like Balance Sheet and P&L account Govt has given the specific name for each GL accounts, in day to day  practice you may have booked that expence under Production head but as per legal requirement you have to saw under different head.
    thx.

  • Country chart of account

    Hi experts,
    please tell how to create country chart of account, and how to assign  where do all posting and where we see all transaction and business process, same group chart of account where i have to make ,see all process.
    thanks
    Arti singh

    Definition:
    Country Chart of Account is created similar to operating chart of account in the transaction Code : OB13. It will also have set of Account Groups and GL Accounts created seperately.This is normally created based on the local statutory/reporting requirements and standard operating chart of account is used globally.
    Assignment:
    After creating a Country Chart of Accounts you need to assign the same to a company code at the 'company code Global Data' in the  Country Chart/Accts field.
    Financial Accounting -> Global Parameter for Company Code -> Enter Global Parameter
    Once you do this assignment while creating a Account for the operating chart of account system will prompt you to enter the Alternative Account Number in the Control Data Tab in T.code FS00.
    Note: you can assign one Country COA Account to morethan one Operating COA Account.
    Usage:
    Once you link the operating chart of account and countr chart of account using Alternative Account No. system will allow you see report both at Operating COA and Country COA.

  • Country chart of account report

    hi sap guru's
    what is country chart of account . how to configured the country chart of accounts reports. could u pls anybody explain with the senario. explain the configured steps to country chart of accounts
    regards
    shiva

    Hi,
    you can set 2 COA for one company code. In SPRO Global Parameters for Company Code\ Enter Global Parameters you can set a Chart of Accts and a Country chart/accts. By using the Alternative account number, the connection between the account in the chart of accounts and the account in the country chart of accounts can be set up.
    You set the link between these two COAs at GL account level populating the field "Alternative Account": you need to establish an alternative account of the country COA for the GL Accounts of the COA that you need to map.
    There are several GL reports that can be shown by alternative accounts, mainly P&L, Balance Sheet...
    Please follow these steps:
    1- set Group Chart of Accounts as a COA of the company code. Find the customizing point in my post above.
    2- set Country Chart of Account as a "country COA" at Company Code level. Same customizing point than before. You can use the standard that SAP provides (CAES in case of Spain for example or you can create a new one)
    3- For each GL account you'll need to map at GL Account level in the field "Alternative Account" the corresponding country account.(trx FS00)
    You need to now that users will work everyday in the group COA not in the country specific one, country COA is only for statutory reporting (P&G, Balance Sheet...). They will not have operating reports in country COA and operations will be only in group COA.
    If you want to have all posting valuated not only un EUR but also in USD in case of USA, you will need to set several currencies at company code level also.
    Regards

  • Obyc for country chart of account

    Hi,
    what is setting required for obyc for country chart of account. I have already assigned country chart of account number in operative chart of account- Comapny code section.
    CHEERS

    Dear Nitin,
    You can not assign an 'Alternative Account' of Country Chart of Accounts in OBYC, neither no additional customization settings can be defined in SAP to achieve your requirement.
    Country Chart of Accounts is just for the purpose of drawing a Balance Sheet with reference to Alternative Accounts instead of GL Account from Operating Chart of Accounts.
    As you said, only assignment of Alternative Account in GL Master record is possible, means to say that you are just linking GL and Alt A/c for the above purpose of Balance sheet.
    So whatever postings (say for instance, inventory postings to Stock GL Account) you made via OBYC will not really flow into this Alternative Account and thus no point in talking about displaying this Alt a/c balances.
    Regards

    Hi,
    I need to change the country for my Apple store account but this message appears "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores." but my credit is 1.58$ only and I couldn't buy any app with this amount! Any way how to fix that and I don't have a problem if I lose this 1.58 $?

    If you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes support and ask if they can remove the balance from your account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • CHANGING THE COUNTRY IN YOUR I-TUNES ACCOUNT CAN BE DIFFICULT

    CHANGING THE COUNTRY IN YOUR I-TUNES ACCOUNT IS IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU HAVE AN OUTSTANDING PAYMENT
    Hello iTunes Support,
    I owe you money. My current iTunes account lists my old German credit card, but I don't have this credit card anymore. I have only an American credit card. I would like to use my American card to pay, but I can only change my iTunes account from Germany to the USA AFTER I pay my bill. Please help!
    Thank you,
    Brandon Ethridge
    Dear Brandon,
    Thank you very much for your mail.
    Please purchase an iTunes Gift Card in the amount of EUR 15.00 to pay the outstanding amount of EUR 13.98.
    Now enter the 16-digit activation code beginning with "X" and click the Redeem button. To complete this process, click Redeem Prepaid Card.
    Once your Gift Card is successfully redeemed, your store credit will appear next to your account name in the upper-right corner of the iTunes Store window. The outstanding amount will automatically be withdrawn for your credit.
    Please note: Before you will be able to change the country to the USA you have to buy another song and then contact us so we can delete the remaining EUR 0.03. If an account shows a credit, it is not able to change the country in account settings. We will manually delete the remaining amount so you can change the country in your profile.
    If you experience any problems please do not hesitate and contact us.

    Note: iTunes gift cards are not sold in stores, so I had to buy it in the online iTunes store, which of course was impossible because of the above problem. So a friend of mine ordered it, and I gave him cash.
    Hello Support,
    My god this is complicated!
    Now, the new problem is this: I live in Austria, therefore my gift card is Austrian. But I cannot apply this to my German bill. PLEASE HELP ME. I have not been able to buy anything from iTunes for almost a year now. This is really bad for your business.
    Thank you for your help,
    Brandon Ethridge
    Hello Brandon,
    Yes, I agree, it's getting complicated
    I have talked to a colleague about it and this is the only thing we can advise:
    1) Ask someone in Germany to buy a gift card for you and have it sent to you to pay the outstanding amount
    or, if that is no option for you at all
    2) open a new account (you will still be able to listen to your purchases)
    I am really sorry for all the inconvenience caused! Please accept my apologies.
    If you have any further questions please do not hesitate and reply to this email.

    Do you have a question?
    I do. How did you get a negative balance on your iTunes account? You cannot download something until it's paid for.
