Credit Memo to transfer AUC balance to WBS Element

We have implemented Project Systems in a limited way and now need to transfer the current AUC balances into project WBS Elements.
The plan is to issue credit memo's from the AUC to a clearing account then mark the balance with a WBS Element. When the month end project settlement is run the balance would move from the clearing account to a new AUC created by Project Systems. The original AUC and the Project Systems AUC uses the same GL account for so there would be no effect on the GL.
My question is does it matter which credit memo transaction I use, ABGL-in Invoice Year or ABGF-in Next Year? These original AUC's have balances spanning several years including transaction in the current year.
Thanks for any information or suggestion on a better way to move the balances.

Hi,
You are trying to post a credit memo again a purchase order since its via MM. Therefore how can you have a credit memo value exceeding the original invoice value?
If you are trying to post an advance (as you have mentioned that you are receiving money to the project), it should be recored as an advance rather than a credit memo. Consider the double entry you want to post to.

Can i change AUC attached to wBS element.

1) can i change the AUC attached to WBS element ?
2) user has already posted some entries to WBS but not settled so far. Can i change the AUC now ?
3) In another WBS user has already settled to AUC the postings made in the firest month. I can change the AUC to that WBS element?

VS,
(the previous posting is also mine)
As some of members also indicated, if you have created the AUC from IM then you cannot replace it with other AUC after deleting the first one. However, you can create another WBSE, create AUC (automatically if with IM). NOw you can JV or transer the amount posted to previous WBSE as credit posting. YOu can JV/tansfer the amount to new WBSE as debit posting.
When settlement occurs, the previous AUC will get credit posting and will be zeroed, and the new AUC will get debit posting by regular settlement from new WBSE.
Hope that helps you.
Thanks

Opening balance of WBS elements

Hi Gurus,
At go live, how can we upload opening balances of WBS elements.
Please revert asap.
Thank You

Get the open balance information from the users in an excelsheet for all the WBS.
Use the following transactions
Costs - KB15N ( used for open balance from materials cost)
Revenue - KB41N
Secondary costs - KB21N ( used for open balance from Time costs)
You have to get dummy cost center for using this transactions for data migration.

Duplication of document numbers for Credit Memo, Inventory Transfer, etc.

Hi folks!
Good Day!
We have noticed that there are credit memo numbers, inventory transfer numbers etc. that were duplicated in two different transaction in two different dates. Can you give a theory or possible reasons why this one happened? Let's refer to the credit memo first. I have searched these two credit memo in the database and I only found 1 of them... I used their names, details, codes and other info to locate the other CM but I failed.
SCENARIO:
A/R CREDIT MEMO NUMBER follows a pattern of (COMPANY NAME)-(CREDIT MEMO NUMBER)-(BRANCH)
I have created a credit memo last April 12, 2011 with the document number (ABCD-20050002-MNL) generated by the system.
with one item (BLUE TILE) and addressed to John Scott.
We found out that another credit memo dated April 29, 2011 having the same document number (ABCD-20050002-MNL) making it a duplicate of the first one. This second transaction has one item also (BLACK PAINT) and was addressed to Olivia Dunham.
We found this when they are already printed or in hard copies. I just want to ask for your opinions, theory or suggestion with regard to this situation. Is there a possibility where it was duplicated while in the printing process?
Looking forward to hear from you....
Thanks!
=)

Hi Kambadasan,
Thanks.
I already checked the relationship and linking of number from the document to the layout printing and everything seems to be ok.
It follows and copy's the exact numbers.
Thanks again

Upload of opening finance balances with wbs elements

Hi Gurus,
Appreciate if you can please share some knowledge on taking opening FI balances including open vendor and customer invoices with wbs elements..
We are going live in mid year and p&l items should reflect data of prior periods in the fiscal year...
Now question is how can we see project wise details in finance of already running projects?????
If we enter wbs in gl, customer and vendor lines then how will data come in cost and profit center, as project settlement is required to settle on cost center????
Whats is ideal way to handle such situation??
One more thing to add that we have activated document splitting on profit center.....
Please reply back
Thank you

Hi,
if those WBS are statiscall there will not any settlement even if you pass the WBS in docuemnt level if you don't maintain settlement rule it won't settle it. one more option pass the WBS in a/c doucment text filed or assignment then you can easily find it out .

Credit memo uses base document total and not balance due?

Using SBO 2007 sp00 pl42 i have the problem that, having an AR invoice with a partial incoming payment, leaves an open balance of the invoice.
Later i use the "copy to" function, to the credit memo, but it uses the whole original amount, and not only the balance due, leaving the credit memo with an open balance equal to that payment value, and closing only the invoice and payment.
In SBO 2005 A sp01 the credit memo was copied with the original amount but it generated a discount matching the partial payment value, and this way automatically reconcile the 3 documents.
you can see the details in this document:
Thanks a lot for your help!

KB11N entry to be posted for large number of WBS elements

Hi,
As a requirement for our client, we need to make a transfer entry from one WBS element to another WBS element using KB11N. There will be thousands of these transfers to be made at every month end.
We want to write a program which will calculate the value to be transferred while time posting and make this transfer posting. But if we are using a BDC to call KB11N in that program its taking more time and its a performance issue for overall month end process..
If there can be anyother way to post that transfer posting by using any function module or program ?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Amit Goyal

Hi Amit
If the values to be transferred are available with you in excel, you can use LSMW to do the transfer entry for you
On an average, 5 records would be processed per second using LSMW in KB11N

FBL1n - WBS Element

Hi All,
My client needs report for payment made and balance against WBS Elements.
My process is PR>PO>SES>MIRO>Payment to Vendor.
I tried FBL1n , after adding WBS elements (field selection) the values are blank.
What is the reason for values coming blank?
I am not using cash flow and dont want.
Actually MIRO is account assigned to WBS Elements through Service Entry Sheet. So logically when i am making payment through F-53 against MIRO,the values should appear in WBS element in FBL1n
Please suggest.
Regards,
Pravin

if you are using Funds Management then you can find the in FM line item report.
I doubt you can find in FBL1n, but i think in MM have report on vendor payment history and you can include additional fileds there, not sure on report name.
You assign WBS to cost elements, was wondering whether you can list WBS for B/s items.
Thanks,
Chanru

Transferring wbs elements bewteen project definitions

I have created many wbs elements under a single project definitions and now have financial posting against them. Is it possible to transfer some of the wbs elements to a new project defintion?

Rich, there is nothing called transferring WBSE from one Project Definition to another. But you can do these.
1. Delete the WBSE, if there are no postings happend, and then create the WBSE with same id for the other project Definition.
2. Rename the WBSE id(for which the acutal cost exists) to some id, and then create the WBSE with the same id to other proejct definition..(i think it should work, check and come back)
But, I would like to ask you onething, why you want to mix up WBSE coding in a project. Suppose if your project Definition is A.001, then it is the good practice to maintain the WBSE which follows the code A.001.01, A.001.02 etc., From your post I understand that you want to create A.001 as project and A.001.01, A.111.01 as your WBS Elements. Why do you want to do like this?

Credit memo for Balance sheet account

We have a balance in account XXX (Description- Other: accrued expenses & prepaid income, nwc, out) that we need to be able to deplete through a credit memo to a customer.
Customer prepaid for material and once a month we issue a credit memo based on an internal calcuation to refund that repayment. How do assign a specific account assignment to a credit memo, so that the credit memo is not posted to a Sales credit account.

It seems to me like an accounting and business misunderstanding of the business process. When you do the Goods issue to the Cost Center it means that the Cost Center is consuming those materials, they are issues to "production process" and in this case you naturally debiting the P&L account (with a cost element category 1).
If your concept is about "designated Cost Center stock" this means simply moving materials between two stock locations that has no impact in financial accounting. There is no such thing in standard SAP as designated Cost Center stock.
You can have a special stock for SD order and for WBS-element (project stock), and in this case it is reflected with a BS account (and a cost element category 90) at WBS-element.
If you need designated "Cost Center" stock you have two possible options:
1. Create a storage locations
2. Create a project and utilize a designated project stock (having "mapped" your WBS-elements to Cost Centers)

Hello,
Thanks for you reply and i just want to know that.
If we assign the return order to the WBS element, the credit memo automatically has the WBS element assigned to it or do we have to manually assign the credit memo to a WBS element? if yes how?
Thanks and 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
