Custom fields in Field status variant and Posting keys

Hi,
We have defined some custom fields in BSEG table for which we wish to control the field status through Field status groups and Posting keys as well.
Has some one addressed this requirement before? Please provide me some inputs on this.
Regards,
Swapnil

Hello Chakardhar,
Since the same fields for document entry are required for several G/L accounts, you define the status of fields for a group of G/L accounts.
You create the definition under a field status group. Enter the key of the group in the master record of the G/L account. Field status groups are cross-company code, that is, they do not depend on the company code but on the field status variant. In the standard system, a separate variant for field status groups exists for each company code. The name of the variant is the same as the company code. Every company code is assigned to the variant with the same name. You can work in several company codes with identical field status groups as long as these company codes are assigned to the same field status variants. You define the field status for each individual posting key.
Hope I ahd been able to hep you out. Please assign points and let me know if you need anything specific.

Relation Between Dummy Profit Center and Posting Keys.

Hello Gurus,
It will be a valuable feed back for below mentioned Scenario.
One of our client is on SAP Version 4.7 and New GL is not activated. In COCD one Customer Invoice entry is booked as below.
PK     Account           Amount      Profit Center
01     SURXXX1            100.00         ABCD
50     REVENUE A/c      50.00         ABCD
50     ENT TAX               20.00         ABCD
50     SERVICE TAX       30.00         ABCD
After running t codes 1KEK, F.5D, and KE5T for customer line item system picks same profit center as mentioned in other line items i.e ABCD.
But when we reverse the above document system picks DUMMY Profit center instead of ABCD.
PK     Account           Amount      Profit Center
12     SURXXX1            100.00         DUMMY
40     REVENUE A/c      50.00         ABCD
40     ENT TAX               20.00         ABCD
40     SERVICE TAX       30.00         ABCD
Basically we have checked field status variant for Posting Key 01 and 12 in which Profit Center field is Required and field status for profit center for reconciliation account is also required. This is unusual behavior which we are facing right now.

Profit Center :
A profit center is a management-oriented organizational unit used for internal controlling purposes. Dividing your company up into profit centers allows you to analyze areas of responsibility and to delegate responsibility to decentralized units, thus treating them as "companies within the company". EC-PCA lets you set up your profit centers according to product (product lines, divisions), geographical areas (regions, offices or production sites) or function (production, sales).
Profit Center Accounting (PCA) allows you to calculate internal measurements of profitability. This internal view of profitability, then, reflects the success of a given profit center at meeting the profitability goal for which it was given responsibility.
Cost Center :
The cost center is an organizational unit in a controlling area. Cost centers can be defined according to several different design approaches. A typical approach could be for an enterprise to define a cost center for each low-level organizational unit that has responsibility for managing costs. As costs are incurred, they are assigned or posted to the appropriate cost center. These costs could include payroll costs, rent and utility costs, or any other costs assignable to a given cost center.
Each cost center is assigned to a category, e.g. Administration cost center, production cost center, etc. Each cost center master record has a field for the name of the person responsible for the cost center.

Hope this helps.

Transactional dependent field status variant and field status varinat

hi gurus,
can any one please tell me what is transactional dependent field status variant and field status varinat and what is the difference between the both,what this both control?
appreciated if answered.
Regards,
sandeep.ch

Hi
Any field status varinat is a bundle of filed status grouop(FSG). A FSG will control the Screen layout of the Document while you post.Whether a filed is required, optional or suppressed etc.
Transactional dependent data:
Transaction Dependent Control - Field status can also be configured at the master data transaction level i.e. during Create, Change, and Display. Thus, if a user wishes that after creation of master data certain fields should not be changed, same can be set as 'Display'. One such example can be fields like reconciliation account, payment terms etc.So these terms remain constant while posting and user cant change these fields.

Field Status Groups Vs Posting keys Field Status Groups

Hi, Seniors,
In my job posting Keys field status group fields I never used as required field some cases just I used only Special G/L transaction Indicators except this I kept all the fields as Optional. My doubt is How this fields can be used as independent priority If there is no important why dont we use only field status group fields like G001, G002, ..... why should we depend on Posting keys field status group Fields.
Thanks in Advance
Sarath babu

Hi Sarath,
If you do any chages in the FSG it will applicable to all G/L accounts which are using the same FSG. But if change posting keys FSG then it will applicable only to that particular posting key it wont effect rest of the G/L's. But you should takecare of the below things.
I. A field which is suppressed at the posting key level shouldnt be required in the
field status group specified in the General Ledger Account.
II. A field which is suppressed in the field status group under General Ledger
Account shouldnt be specify as required in the posting key level.
III. Posting keys are defined by Account type wise.

[iPhone] Place a custom view below the status bar and above the navbar

Hello,
How can I add a custom view between the status bar and the UINavigationBar?
The Myspace App does this so I know it can be done. It has a custom bar between the status bar and the navigation bar which displays the myspace logo and a logout link. I would like to do something similar w/ my app.
Thank you

You can move the tabs to the lower position just above the browsing area without using an extension with code in userChrome.css as basically you only need to give the Tab bar a higher -moz-box-ordinal-group value (most toolbars have a default -moz-box-ordinal-group:1 to show them in DOM order).
*[[/questions/997353]] How can I put the Tabs back below the navigation bar?
You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.
*Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
*You can check out the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
*You can find extra toolbar buttons and more toolbar settings in Customize (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)

Account key and posting key

what is difference between account key and posting key?

Posting key actually defines which side of an Account either Debit or Credit & suggests to which Account it (Posting key) will posted.
Some of the standard Posting Keys are -
40 G/L Debit Posting
50 G/L Credit Posting
01 Customer Invoice
Account key is related to the Condition Type i.e. Price , Freight , Taxes , Discount. If you want to post the relevant value in different G/L Account then use different Account key & assign with G/L account in VKOA.

GL account and posting keys

Hi All,
Can someone guide me how the Debit and the creift indicator is determined for the system to post the accouting entry for a sales transaction.
Through account determination the GL account is determined for an account key.
For example if GL account for sales determined is 1234 through account key. How does the system determines whether a credit value appears against the GL account 1234 (through posting key 50) and how the system determines the corresponding debit entry (posting key 40) to the customer account.
Can some show the T codes or menu path to link the GL accounts to posting keys and how the system determines that for every credit to sale account , a corresponding debit needs to be done to customer account (what control this )
regds

Dear Friend,
As you already know the accounting Principles, that Debit & Credits & every postings should be equal.
Now as per GL account determination maintained system determines necessary GL Accounts.
Now, in GL Account Definition (T-Code FS00) you enter Account Group (e.g. Inventory account, Fixed Asset account, Account Receivable, etc)
This Account Group classifies the GL Account Master Data. The account group is a classifying feature within the G/L account master records. The account group is a required entry.
The account group determines the fields for the entry screens if you create or change a master record in the company code. The account group also determines in which number interval the account number must be.
Hope this helps...

Sales account keys and posting keys

Dear Experts
I have a query that when i assign the g/l account in VKOA system determines that based on the account key into which G/L the posting needs to be done.Also based on the posting key it determines whether to debit / credit that g/l.
My question is that how the system recognises to whether debit/credit the value (in the G/L) it is bringing along with the account key .
Also where can i see that how this posting key is assigned to the account key in which the debit / credit configuration is done.
regards
sanjeev

My question is that how the system recognises
to whether debit/credit the value
Answer to this question is your Pricing Procedure where for each and every condition type, you would be assigning various Account Keys. In V/06, you define whether the condition type should be posted with positive or negative value against the field "Plus/minus". In VKOA for that Account Key you are assigning G/L Accounts. Thus a value is being posted with Plus / Minus values in FI.
thanks

Field Status Definition
You have to define field status outside of the master record. Mark the field status you need for each field or field group under a field status group. Then assign the field status group to individual G/L accounts in the G/L account master records.
Field status groups are independent of company code, attaching instead to the field status variant. A separate variant exists in each company code for field status groups in the standard delivered system. The variant name is the same as the company code, and each company code is assigned to this variant.
You can work with the same field status groups in more than one company code, as outlined below:
Maintain field status variant
Assign company code to field status variant.
If you do not maintain the field status, all fields will be hidden.
Example of a field status group
You defined a separate field status group for bank accounts because you always need the same fields for posting to bank accounts. Within this group, the allocation number, text, and value date fields are optional. You have specified that all other fields be suppressed.
Other factors
Besides the field status group in the account master record, your posting key specifications also affect posting. For each posting key, you can decide what status any fields should have with a key when posting. But because there are only two posting keys for posting to G/L accounts in the standard system, you should use the field status groups from accounts in the master record for your screen layouts. The field status definition for posting keys 40 (debit posting to G/L accounts) and 50 (credit posting to G/L accounts) have optional status for each field in the delivered system. Do not change this.
Some fields are controlled by other specifications. If you work with business areas, show the field centrally using company code specifications. The component documentation for general ledger accounting (FI-GL) as well as accounts receivable and payable (FI-AP/FI-AR) explains in greater detail when fields can be suppressed or shown independently of a field status group.
Field status groups and reconciliation accounts
You must also enter field status groups in reconciliation accounts. These specifications affect the customer or vendor account during posting. You cannot enter any field status groups in the master records for these accounts.

Company code ZG01 is not assigned to a fiELD status variant

HI,
I have created company called 'zg01'.
when i try to create a GL ACCOUNT FOR this company using (FS00) i am getting the following error.
Company code ZG01 is not assigned to a fiELD status variant.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION I HAVE CREATED COA and assign the same to the company ZG01.
Please suggest....
also suggest how to i transport GL Accounts used by other companys of my system to my newly created company code : zg01.
so that i can save creation of GL ACCOUNT.

You have to maintain field status variant and assign it to your company code. This is required for GL master data.
1. Define Field status variant in SPRO>Financial Acctg>Financial Acctg Global Settings>Document>Line Item>Controls>Define Field status variant. You create the field status variant and the field status group.
2. Assign the Field Status group to your company code SPRO>Financial Acctg>Financial Acctg Global Settings>Document>Line Item>Controls>Assign Company Code to Field Status Variants
Once you have defined this you will be able to assign field status group to your GL master data.
The use of Field Status Group is to determine the required/displayed/optional fields during posting transactions.

Difference between field staus group for posting key and GL account

Hi all,
can anyone tell me what is the difference of usage for field status group in posting key and GL account as i notice the fileds are the same. during data entry, system will check both field status or how?
thanks.

Hi
Both are to control the field status of the line item.
But, the FSG of the Posting Key and the GL FSG status should not clash like below.
Take 'Assignment' field as example :
Posting key FS - Suppress & GL FS - Required - will give you error message at the time of posting
Posting key FS - Required & GL FS - Suppress - will give you error message at the time of posting
Otherthan the above, all other combination works
