Creating a new amount type for use in the standard FSG report

I have a question for the forum based on a business requirement.
On our standard FSG monthly reports, we display variance values for current MTD versus the MTD value from the previous year.
As designed, a positive variance in revenue is displayed as a positive number. Also as designed, a positive variance in expenses is displayed as a positive number as well.
In our industry (Time Shares), the prevailing method of showing an unfavorable variance in expenses when comparing the current month to the same month in the previous year is to format the variance as a negative number. This is apparently a requirement which I have to try to meet.
In researching the seeded amount types in the FSG setup, there does not exist one which would invert the sign on the expense variance only, and inverting the sign on the column reverses the sign on the revenue variance as well.
Has anyone gone through this exercise before, whether with clever programming or through an engagement with Oracle Consulting?
Any comments or lessons learned from past experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

  • How to create a new document type for PO and Requisition

    Hi All
    Can you please help me with the steps of creating a new document type for PO and PR. Also the steps that need to be update for the procure pay cycle to work properly. 
    Once the document type is been created. I want to create the PO referecing the new PR and PO document type.I am new in MM.
    Thanks, Ros

    Hi,
    1. You can create new PR and PO docu types at the following path:
    For PR docu type:
    First you need to create number range for docu type or you can use existing number range also. The path for creation of no. range is
    SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Define Number Ranges
    Then create PR docu type at below path and assign no. range to PR docu type here only
    SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Define Document Types
    For PO docu type:
    Follow same procedure as mentioned for PR docu type. Path is
    SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Order->Define Number Ranges
    SPRO>Materials Management>Purchasing->Purchase Order->Define Document Types
    If you want to create PO referencing new PR docu type, link the PR docu type to PO docu type at below path:
    SPRO>Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Define Document Types--> Link purchase requisition - document type

    Hi,
    Goto the T.Code "V/06".Create one new "Z" condition type.
    Maintain the Condition Class as "D(Taxes)".
    Calculation type as "A(percentage)".
    Cond. Category as "D(Tax)".
    Select the tick mark for "Group Condition" if it is applicable for you.
    In the next step assign this condition type to your pricing procedure by using the T.Code "V/08".
    Also maintain access sequence by using the T.Code "V/07" and assign it to your Condition type.
    Now this condition type will appeared in your sales order after maintain teh condition records.

  • Quality Mgt - can I create a new inspection type for source inspection

    I want to create a new inspection type for surce inspection and I will assign it to Miscellaneous insp lot origin.
    What is the application of vendor inspection lot origin ? Can be used for source inspection ?

    HI,
    For source inspection.
    If existing insp types are not going to solve your purpose , you can create insp type & assign it to insp lot origin 01.
    But before that , check whether you can use  the existing insp type 01 / 0130.
    You need to assign that inspection type in the Q-info record , in the source insp field of insp control.
    Also go through the help tips provide by SAP
    Inspection Type for Insp. Lot Origin (Source Inspection)
        Inspection type for the source inspection
    Use
        If you enter an inspection type for inspection lot origin 01 in this  field, you can create an inspection lot for the source inspection within the lead time before the (scheduled) delivery date.
    Dependencies
        The inspection type must be active in the inspection setup (Quality Management view) of the material master.
        If a status profile is stored in the quality info record for the supply  relationship, a goods receipt inspection takes place instead of a source  inspection.

  • How to create a new condition type for palets

    Hello Gurus,
    I want to create a new condition type to order material palets (like LP02) but I need to calculate a discount in % for entire palets only.
    By example:
    A discount of 5% for each completed palets.
    I order 1 palet for 100euros, I want a discount of 5 euros, and final price is 95euros.
    I order 1,5 palets for 150 euros, I want a discount of 5 euros and final price is 145 euros (100-5% + 50) and not 142,5euros (150-5%).
    I order 2 palets for 200 euros, I want a discount of 10 euros and final price is 190euros
    I tried with a fixed amount calculation type and it works fine, I have a discount only for entire palets. But when I tried with percentage calculation type, it doesn't work.
    Any Idea?
    Thank you for your help
    Gregory

    Hi,
    In the pricing procedure config, you will have to create a new formula under the AltCBV (Alternative formula for condition base value) column.  The base quantity should be
    Order Qty DIV 1
    That will give you the effect of truncating the decimals.   Suggest you get an ABAPer to have a look for you.

  • Creating a new "Class type" in release procedure.

    Hi guys,
    how can I create a new <b>"Class type"</b> in release procedure?

    Hi,
    But I do not know why anyone would create a new batch type for release strategies, it is totally unnecessary and provides no additional options. The class type indicates which objects can be classified and there is already one for release strategies.
    You can create a new class or add characteristics to the existing class used in the release strategy anyway.
    Ther is also NO WAY that two classes can be used in the release strategy and this new class type would not change this either???

  • New order type for a purchase order similar tu UB.

    Hi,
    I would like to know if it is possible to create a new order type for a purchase order. This new order type should work as a UB order type but "plant" and "storage location" should be indicated by default and shouldn't be changed.
    How should I proceed?
    Thanks in advance.
    Luis.

    The problem is that If I specify default values for each user (plant and storage location) It will always propose these values when using different order types. This can't be.
    Isn't there any other solution in standard sap?

  • Define new document type for purchase order

    Hello
    I want to create a new document type for purchase ordre with also new number range.
    And within my conditions, the shopping card will be generate either document type ECPO with number range 44 or document type ZOS with number range 33.
    The document type is still a purchase order.
    Is it possible to do that? To assign new document type for purcharse order?
    If yes, is there any Badi to put my conditions of generation of my document type?
    Thank you for your help.
    Regards,
    Peggy

    Hi Markus
    Thank you four your response. Unfortuntly, i do not want to create a new transaction type.
    It is still a purchase order which could be visibled in standard transaction. The behaviour is still like standard PO, and could be visible in standard transaction PO.
    I just want to create 2 types of purchases orders to identify them, so create a new number range and so a new document type for purchase order..
    I have a condition to do "the shopping card will be created in this document type, and this schopping card will be created in this document type".
    But standard document type is ECPO, and I don't really know if it is possible to create new document type for purchase order...

  • IMG settings after creating new output type for a purchase order smartform

    Hi all,
    Do I need to make changes in IMG after creating a new output type in NACE for a purchase order smartform?
    I have customized a purchase order smartform according to the requirements and copied an existing output type and assigned the custom form name.
    When I am trying to create a purchase order to test it, I am going to the message tab for assigning the output type and if I press F4 on the output type field or if I give the copied output type there, it says output type is not defined.
    Do I need to make any changes in SPRO?
    Regards,
    Anik

    Yes. You have to add the new output type to the proper message determination schema.
    Go to the IMG and select Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Messages -> Output control -> Message determination schemas -> Define message schema for purchase order -> Maintain Message Determination Schema: Purchase Order.
    Select the proper schema, then Control Data and insert your new output type into the schema (eventually with any requirement that may be necessary... you probably want to use 101 like in case of the regular NEU message).
    This should do it.

  • I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. Help?

    I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air  I can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. It keeps going back to my old apple id and doesn't afford me to alter it. I use system preferences-icloud and it just wants to verify the old apple id but doesn't afford me the opportunity to delete teh account or edit it like the iphone5 and ipad. Help?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to use the sign out option on the left side.

  • I have 3 apple devices and I use the same apple ID for all 3.  I would like to create a new I'd for one of my devices, but do not want to loose the apps on that device.  Anyone know how I can do this?

    I have 3 apple devices and I use the same apple ID for all 3.  I would like to create a new I'd for one of my devices, but do not want to loose the apps on that device.  Anyone know how I can do this?

    Create a new ID:
    On the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that under You can be reached at only the newID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
    - Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out your ID and sign in with the new one.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • HT1848 MY wife has an Iphone 4  and I have a 5. To date we haev used one apple is/account to manage music purchases. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account?

    MY wife has an Iphone 4  and I have a 5. To date we have used one apple account to manage music purchases/library. I updated ny phone to the new OS version and all her texting is showing up on my phone.  I understand if i create an apple account for her I will not see her texts. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account and get access to the music library under my account on the new MAC laptop  before I update her phone to the new OS?
    Going forward if I purchase music under my apple id and want her to have it on her device, how can I acheive that?

    You can continue to share an Apple ID for purchases.
    Sign her in to her new account here:
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (Keep on Phone if you want to transfer contacts, calendars, etc...) then sign in with her new ID
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
    Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
    Use the same Apple ID here:
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID
