Customer Statement - PLD - Prior Period Balance

When one uses the standard Customer Statement, the prior period balance shows up. It is a field defined as TEXT field, Free Text and the text value is 9999999999.
When I copied (save as) this standard customer statement, the prior period balance no longer shows up. Further more, if I copy this field from the customer statement (F_033) to my new copy it doesn't work and if I manually create a new field it doesn't work either on the new statement.
How does one get a prior period balance to show when the field is a text field and not a formula field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Marli,
This is the norm of B1. Your client should be able to get used to it soon.
Thanks,

Customer statement PLD issue

Hi Experts,
I have a client who need to run the Customer Statements for specific dates in the posting date selection. When this is done the Prior Balance is not included in the total or the aging at the bottom. I see this is true for PLD and Crystal.
Is this just system behaviour, the prior balance only showing at the top, or should this be included in the total and aging as they are use to in other software?
Thanks for your insights,
Marli

Customer statement PLD page numbers

Experts,
I have a client who have a valid question on the page numbers on the Customer Statement Report (One page per customer) when this is run for multiple customers.
Is there a way for this to print the page numbers at the bottom starting with 1 for each customer. This numbering sequence just keeps on and this is confusing to their clients when they receive a statement starting with a page other than 1.
Thanks for your help,
Marli

Hi Jacques,
Unfortunately you can't do this in the current versions of PLD. I had the same problem with the statement layout, raised it with SAP and they confirmed that it couldn't be done.
Hopefully it will appear soon (I haven't checked the 2007 preview version yet for this).
Kind Regards,
Owen

Customer statements for credit balances (F.27)

We need to be able to run "Periodic Account Statements in SAP, transaction F.27, for customers that have a credit balance.
For clarity, this is a balance that is less than ZERO, for example if a customer has an outstanding credit item on their account that exceeds any debit amount, eg: invoice for $100, payment for $150, net CREDIT balance of ($50)
In accordance with direction from our auditors, we need to be able to print and send these statements, as we do with the present process of sending monthly statements to customers that have a debit balance, and send them to customers. I'd be really surprised if this functionality is not built into SAP.
My Question is: Can this change be made using a built-in functionality in SAP like make config changes in SAP IMG or would this need to be programmed? If it can be done in SAP by making config changes please post the steps. Thanks.

SOLUTION:
When you run the transaction F.27 you specify a Company code and a Correspondence type. The correspondence type has a print program and a variant associated to it through SAP IMG (config). During its run F.27 calls the program + variant dynamically. The variant controls the selection screen of that print program. One of the fields on that selection screens is "Balance in local currency". The value for that field was set to greater than zero (Balance in local currency > 0). This is why F.27 was skipping any Customer Statements which had a balance less than zero (i.e. credit balance).
You can check the program name and variant associated with a correspondence type by following this path in SAP IMG:
SPRO > SAP Reference IMG > SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Correspondence > Assign programs for Correspondence Types
and you can modify the variant by using transaction SE38.

SBO 8.8 PL09 Addrerss not printing on PLD customer statement

Hi, On SBO 8.8 PL09 we use either a standard customer statement PLD or a slightly customised layout, and the customer address does not appear on the output, although specified on the PLD iteslf.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Simon

Hi Simon,
Is address coming on system PLD? If no, than check is the address there on document itself.

Customer Statement in Balance Forward Format

Have Oracle introduced a customer statement in a Balance Brought Forward format as yet? We need the ability to print customer statements comprising:
(a) An opening balance (being the previous period's closing balance)
(b) Details of all credit memos, debit memos, invoices, adjustments, etc for the current period
(c) Receipts (as opposed to individual applications) i.e. if a customer pays $1000 in respect of 2 invoices of $500 each, a single entry displaying a credit of $1000 should appear on the statement
(d) A closing balance for the period
Additionally, it would be ideal if a payment schedule (indicating what potion of the balance is due when) could also be displayed on the statement (e.g. if the customer's balance is $1500; $700 may be due on 31-AUG, $500 may be due on 30-SEP and the balance may be due on 31-OCT.
We are still on 10.7NCA and I was wondering whether anyone knows whether this has since been implemented and, if not, whether there are plans to implement this. We have become so frustrated with not been able to do this that we are considering re-implementing a system that will provide this functionality.

Just to add to my question and be more specific -
On the customer recieveable ageing - I would like to add the rest of the address field as it only pull out the first line. Is there any way I can refresh the tables with the addtional field?
I found the PLD convertor is useful as I was able to add the field in for the address and then convert into the converted PLD2CR However the SAP format in crystal looks much neater and visually better looking than the PLD version.
I would like to add the address fields into the Crystal Report Version so It shows the complete address.
I have checked all the versions from SAP 8.8 PL 13 up to 8.81 PL09 and all only show the first line of the address for the customer.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate as to how I could get them in.
thanks
Paul

Customer Statement with opening and closing balances

Dear Forum,
The users want to generate the Customer Statement with opening and closing balances like the traditional one. The statement now generated gives the list of all open items as on date, but the users want the statement with opening balances as on the date of the begining of the range specified and the closing balance at the end of the period for which the statement is generated. Is there a way to generate the same from the system.
Thanks for the help.

You can use the program RFKORD10 with correspondance type SAP06 for your company code
This program prints account statements and open items lists for customers and vendors in letter form. For account statements, all postings between two key dates, as well as the opening and closing balance, are listed.

Customer Statement Report converted from PLD to CR - extra datasource issue

Hi All,
We've come across an issue where we have used the Crystal Converter to convert a PLD layout of the Customer Statement (Collection) Report to a CR layout (done via CR 2008 using the 8.8 standard integration).
The layout converted fine and we've got most standard fields working and showing the correct values etc. However we had a requirement to also bring in the Original Document Amount into the layout (which is not a standard PLD field unfortunately!) and we had to do it via an extra datasource based on a pretty straightforward view we created in that company database - which contained columns CardCode, DocName (which was the transaction type + number e.g. IN 12345) and of course, DocTotal.
We then added the datasource (via ADO connection) and linked the DocName to the Reference field that is already present in the standard layout and contains the same data as our cutom DocTotal - and remarkably, this actually produced the correct results - i.e. we managed to get the Original Document Amount to appear in the lines of the statement together with the open invoice balance, reference, posting date, due date etc - however this seems to affect the other areas of the layout - and we lose the header and footer information completely; whilst retaining only the lines level information.
We've tried a few things such as linking the CardCode to a header field as well but it doesn't seem to bring the rest of the layout back. So in a nutshell, as soon as we bring that extra field in from the added datasource, we get the correct original document amount appearing in the lines but that's all we see in a print preview - the line level data of the statement. The header and footer information disappears.
And here is the big question - any thoughts on this and has anybody experienced a similar problem in an integrated CR? We think it may possibly be due to the extra datasource - perhaps the 8.8 - CR integration doesn't know how to handle the additional datasource AND it's own standard datasource (which is referencing the PLD fields) properly yet?
Thoughts please because I'm sure this will turn into a common issue sometime soon.

Hi Mohsen,
Perhaps you are able to help me.
I have successfully converted the SAP system 'Customer Collection Report (One Page per Customer)' PLD into Crystal using the Crystal converter. I now run my customer ageing report in SAP, however, when i print preview the Crystal layout, the "detail" section of the report repeatedly displays the "text" label of each field. I'm assuming this is because the system PLD for the collection report, does not use database fields for the detail/repetetive area - instead it uses text fields to pull through fields such as document no etc etc.
I would have throught that a crystal conversion from an untouched system layout would have worked, but it hasn't.
My question - Did you have to perform any additional work to the crystal report after the conversion?
Any suggestions or tips on how to get the system would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
George Kantzavelos

F.27 Periodic Customer Statement

Hi SAP expert,
Could you shed some light on this for me?
F.27 seems to produce customer statements setting out ALL the postings in customer subleger account before date(s) entered in Key date for account statement.
Is there any SAP (standard) customer statement that enable the business to
- to select a range of days or periods only
- then produce customer statements listing - Opening balance, only all the posting during the period and Closing balance
Any help would be very much appreciated
Regards
taro

Hello,
Using F.27, SAP will print only activities within a date range if you choose Correspondence SAP13 in Output Control, and enter a range in Key Dates for Account Statement, e.g. 1/1/2008 to 12/31/2008.
It will print the balance carried forward on 1/1/2008, all the activities between above dates and also final balance on 1/31/2008.

Opening balance and closing balance on Receivables Customer Statement repor

I need an opening balance and closing balance of the customer statement in one report. Currently I developed a custom Customer statement report in report builder 6i. I developed a custom procedure to retrieve the previous statement balance. I’m able to successfully retrieve ending balance statement with sysdate but if I go back to previous date or previous statement date then I’m not getting the right ending balance of the report.
Even the seeded api arp_customer_aging provides the ending balance for sysdate but not for previous dates because this api always looks back to amount due remaining column(ar_payment_schedules_all).
Did any one ever develop a custom logic to get previous balance and ending balance on one single customer statement?

Hi,
I am working on the same logic. My program loads opening and closing balance and a list of items everyday. The GL_balances table gives you current balance but if you want the previous balance, you have to use : "gl_daily_balances" table and provide accounting_date for which you want the balance.
Hope this Helps!

Balance Brought Forward Customer Statement

Hi there, everyone
Our company would like to print customer statements in a balance brought forward format. By "Balance Brought Forward" I mean that the statement starts with an Opening Balance (being the previous month's closing balance), then reflects all receipts (not applications), invoices, credit memos, debit memos, adjustments and discounts and then totals to a closing balance. It would also be ideal if a payment schedule could be printed detailing what portion of the final balance is due on what dates.
We are still on 10.7NCA, so if this functionality is available in 11 or 11i, please will someone let me know. Otherwise, if there is anyone out there who has done this, please can you send me some pointers.
Regards
Mark

Hello,
This issue should be solved in 2007 A / 2007 B version. Please clarify to which version you are referring.
Thanks for the input.

Calculate the day from posting day in Customer Statement Report PLD

Hi All,
I do try to copy the PLD of Customer Statement Report to make modify. I try to calculate the how many day from the posting date until today. What is the formula and operation for this calculation?
Also I found out that the posting on PLD is free text. How to get a real value from PLD? Any idea on this?

Greetings,
You can use a formula field to calculate the date diffrence between the posting date and the system / server date. But because the date value shows up with the DB specified type, you can 'chop up' the date into something more manageable, something along the lines of:
Field_XXX - (CONVERT(CHAR(8),GETDATE(),10))
where Field_XXX is your posting date field
* in my hurry to post i realised this was for the Query Manager, let me dig through my implementation folder for the right formula*
I dont quite understand your last line though:
"Also I found out that the posting on PLD is free text. How to get a real value from PLD? Any idea on this?"

Zero Balance Customer Statements

Hello,
How can I exclude customer/vendors with a zero balance from receiving a customer statement? A link to help will not be helpful as I have read through that documentation already. Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin

Hello Justin,
see the settings "assign program to correspondence type". Here you have a program and a variant. The standard program is RFKORD10. Use SA38 to create a variant that has the setting: balance in local currency not equal to zero.
Hope this helps.

PLD - Customer Statements

Hi,
I am wanting to add the outstanding balance of each invoice/credit note to the customer statement (collection report), but I can't work out how to add this field because the repetitive area fields all seem to be free text and not getting their data from anywhere.
Is there a way to add this field?
Does anyone have a template Crystal customer statement?
Cheers,
Michael

Hi Micheal,
In Print layout designer this is not possible to make much changes to this report as most of the fields are variables and hardcoded in the layout. Moreover there is not direct link to the desired tables.
Only way via business one is to make you own report by QPLD(Query print layout designer).
Hope this helps.

Gagan Thareja
