Hello Experts,
There is the difference between A/R subledger and general ledger when data is migrated from another system , Can you tell me Why this difference Occurs.
Direct input in control account possible ?

Dear,
GL Direct inputs aren't allowed in Subledgers Accounts.
In order to analyse missing entries, check your number of entries in tables: BSID and BSAD for A.R. and BSIS and BSAS for GL reconciliation Account.

Entry view shows basically the line items you enter into the system. Data is retrieved from BKPF and BSEG tables.
GL view may have additional line items (due to zero balance indicator in document splitting configuration) or the same line items with account assignments (that you do not see in entry view) that are filled due to document splitting characteristic configuration. Using GL view you can retrieve documents from non-leading ledgers as well. Data is retrieved from FAGLFLEX* tables.

Difference Between Special Purpose Ledger and New General Ledger

Dear All,
Could any boy explain me the difference between Special Purpose Ledger and New General Ledger?
Regards
JS

Hi
General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL) (New) The central task of G/L accounting is to provide a comprehensive picture of external accounting and accounts. Recording all business transactions (primary postings as well as settlements from internal accounting) in a software system that is fully integrated with all the other operational areas of a company ensures that the accounting data is always complete and accurate. Beyond fulfilling the legal requirements, General Ledger Accounting also fulfills other requirements for modern accounting: - Parallel Accounting General Ledger Accounting allows you to perform parallel accounting by managing several parallel ledgers for different accounting principles. - Integration of Legal and Management Reporting In General Ledger Accounting, you can perform internal management reporting in parallel with legal reporting. For this purpose, the Profit Center Accounting functions are integrated with General Ledger Accounting. Furthermore, you can generate financial statements for any dimension (such as profit center). - Segment Reporting General Ledger Accounting supports the segment reports required by the accounting principles IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). For this purpose, General Ledger Accounting contains the Segment dimension. - Cost of Sales Accounting You can perform cost of sales accounting in General Ledger Accounting. For this purpose, General Ledger Accounting contains the Functional Area dimension. Features General Ledger Accounting comprises the following functions for entering and evaluating posting data: - Choice between group level or company level - Automatic and simultaneous posting of all subledger items in the appropriate general ledger accounts (reconciliation accounts) - Simultaneous updating of the parallel general ledgers and of the cost accounting areas - Real-time evaluation of and reporting on current posting data, in the form of account displays, financial statements with different balance sheet versions, and additional analyses. In this way, General Ledger Accounting automatically serves as a complete record of all business transactions. It is the central and up-to-date component for reporting. Individual transactions can be checked at any time in real time by displaying the original documents, line items, and monthly debits and credits at various levels such as: - Account information - Journals - Totals/transaction figures - Balance sheet/profit and loss evaluations However, SAP still offers to choose between the New GL and the old Classic GL way of accounting. There are certain limitations in the new GL and clients are adopting to the new gl concept.

Difference in Open Balance As per Trial Balance and General Ledger in SAP

Dear All,
1 ) Whle generating trial balance in SAP B1 for one Business master there is a difference in Opening Balance as per Trial Balance and as per General Ledger how ever closing balance in matching.
Difference As follows
Report Name      ob cr     ob dr           dr                   cr                                  CL

Is it possible the open balnce should be same in both report. The opening balance as per GL report is correct.
2) I have run the period end closing for Apr- 2010 to Mar 2011 after that I generated the traial balance for Apr-1-2011 where the opening balances for expense account and revenue account is showing technically after period end closing the balance become zero for all closing balance revenue and expenses accounts.
Please note that there are some entries in revenue and expense account in on 1st apr. 2011.
Please guide on this.

Hi,
I think you should re-visit the selection creteria for the Trial balance.
The Display Opening Balance has two options. If you select from 'Start of Company activity', then it will include every balance of previous year.
Check for the Display Closing balance option as well. As you have performed the Period End closing, the checkbox options can have an impact on the outcome in the report.
Check the selection again.

General ledger / sub ledger reconciliation, without new GL:

Hi experts, hope you can help me with this quick question:
My client is currently reconciling SAP General Ledger and Subledger balances in excel spreadsheets, for Customer and Vendors.
The reconciliation is as follows, when the postings are done on general ledger on a reconciliation account and on the correspondent sub ledger, the line items have to be checked on both to be sure that transfer has been done correctly. Currently this process if done by a Vlookup in Excel, using the reference number as join between the data extracted.
We are running ECC6.0, without the new GL, do you know if there is a standard program to make this reconciliation, I will appreciate any documentation about this topic.
Thanks in advance.

Firstly, why would there be any difference between the total of customer/vendor sub-ledger balances and the balance on the reconciliation account(s)? The posting to the reconciliation account is happening automatically right, when you are posting to a customer/vendor (basing on the reconciliation account assigned in the customer/vendor master)? And system would not allow direct postings to reconciliation accounts, which eliminates the threat of reconciliation GL account going out of balance as compared to the sub-ledger accounts.
However, you can run FBL3N or FS10N for the reconciliation account(s) and match it with the total balance on all customers/vendors using transaction FBL5N/FBL1N.

FAGLGA35 - Actual Distribution in New General Ledger accounting

Dears,
In transaction FAGLGA35, system gives below mentioned messages :-
i) No valid sender entries were found. Message no. GA710.
Diagnosis
The system did not find a valid sender for cycle 0LZAWL, segment AWL. The problem can be due to the following reasons:
Master data checking for cycle 0LZAWL, segment AWL, found no valid senders for this segment.
The senders are valid from a master data standpoint, but the system found no posted values or quantities in the database corresponding to your selection criteria. The sender and the segment will be processed only if the cycle works iteratively and at least one sender in another segment receives values which it can then allocate iteratively.
In cycles for indirect activity allocation, this message appears if segment AWL is to allocate posted sender activity quantities but the sender has been completely scheduled. Complete scheduling of posted activity quantities occurs, for example, if you use cycle AWL in a test run but already used it in a current real processing run in the system.
System Response
The system cannot process the segment.
Procedure
Check the definition of segment AWL in cycle 0LZAWL. In particular, check the validity of the sender master data for the settlement period.
To do so in cycle maintenance, choose "Formal check".
If segment AWL allocates posted values or quantities, the senders in the segment are valid only if:
The sender holds actually posted values/quantities not equal to 0
The cycle is iterative, and the sender receives values in another segment which it can then allocate iteratively.
If necessary, you must set the iteration indicator in cycle 0LZAWL.
In a cycle for indirect activity allocation, check whether the cycle is currently in use for posting in the system sender in segment AWL and thus completely schedules the senders in segment AWL.
If this is the case, cancel the cycle and repeat the cycle execution.
As per message solution, i do all the things but the same message comes.
ii) Cycle 0LZAWL, start date 20080401, does not include any senders.
Message no. GA749
Diagnosis
No senders were found for cycle 0LZAWL, starting date 20080401.
System Response
It is no longer possible to create receivers and assign senders for the segment.
Procedure
Check the definition of the cycle in the maintenance transaction for Actual Distribution: General Ledger. No valid sender cost centers could be found to match your selection.
If you use the sender rules "Posted amounts" or "Posted quantities", check whether records exist in the database for the criteria you entered (cost element, version...)
During indirect activity allocation with the sender rule "posted quantities", you should also note that only the difference between the planned/posted activity allocation and the scheduled activity quantity is allocated. If you entered activity types as sender, you should at this point also check the activity type category. For those quantities posted with an activity type of category 1 (manual entry, manual allocation) no indirect activity allocation is possible.
1. If this is an allocation in the FI/FI-SL area, the problem could also be due to the inheritance logic for FI-SL totals tables, whose "Inheritance of sender based on the receiver" indicator is activated in the "Partner object update" view (T811U-INHERSRC). These are tables that were installed before Release 4.6A.
Use transaction GCA8 to check this, and see the section on:
Inheritance Logic for Allocations
then correct the affected cycle, if required.
Is anybody have any solution. Please suggest it.
Regards,
Kalpik Shah

Posting of CarryForward New general ledger

Hi financial wizards,
our client uses new general ledger. The accounting block has been extended with some ZZ user fields carrying results determined via substitution exits during posting.
The additional customer fields are added to the accounting block and are stored on item level (BSEG) as on aggregate level (FAGLFLEXT).
After the run of transaction FAGLGVTR - 'Balance Carryforward (New)' we have the correct values in the carryforward column of the target account, but values from customer fields are not transfered.
SAP will not help us with a note at this time; the features may be integrated in a later release.
Now my question: How to post the carryforward values manually or by program? I know the SAP Carryforward does not create any documents but after the run the Carryforward period (period 0 in former times) is filled with the sums of previous years P+L accounts. Carryforward works correct i.E. for profit center but not for the additional clients fields.
We need some good ideas as how to overcome this obstacle.
Regards,
Clemens

Dear Peter,
I am afraid that you are mistaken. There is lot of difference between the New GL Accounting and COPA. They are entirely different and its utility is also different.
Here in New Gl, Characteristics means, segment characteristics, for example, business area, profit center, functional area, segment.
Trust this answers your query!

Variance between Material Ledger and General Ledger of

There is again a variance between Material Ledger and General Ledger of
7.026,64 (Tcode MB5L) as it was already in $$100036500(G/L).
The strange thing is, that there is only a difference in the GL Account
Balance report (FS10N) for S240077000(G/L ). In the Line Item report (FBL3N)
all documents are available. This issue impacts at least the Balance
carry forward negativ at the year end, because the system will forward
the the amount of the balance for S240077000, which is now 7.026,64 to
less.
Ther first investigations results:
- all Material- and FI documents are available.
- the variances in June refer to FI-documnets 4900015286 and 4900015293.
- the documents, e.g. 4900015292 and 4900015287, are correct and was
posted at the same day by the same user and with the same transaction
MI07.
- there are no differences for the posted materials identificable from
the other materials

Material Ledger/Actual costing MLAC
MLAC is used where the FG cost varies every month due to external procurement variation.
Ex: Jan 2011
FG cost of manufcature internally = 100
FG cost of procurement externally = 120 ( Company procures due to capacity constraint)
FG Standard price at the end of month = 110...This is standard price of FG
Due to heavy fluctuations in the month of February 2011 in procurement...
Ex: Feb 2011
FG cost of manufcature internally = 140
FG cost of procurement externally = 460 ( Company procures due to capacity constraint)
FG Standard price at the end of month = 300...This is standard price of FG.
The variance is very high in Feb 2011 and company want to absorb this variance in Feb 2011 iteslef hence they will use MLAC.
So if the variance is within reasonable limits company usually do not follow MLAC.
Where as if the variance is very high company usually follow MLAC.
In Pharma Industry usually the variance is very high on month to month basis hence they follow MLAC.
Where as in Industrial Mahcineery Manufacturing Company the variance is with in reasonable limits hence they do not follow MLAC. Ofcourse they can use MLAC as well.

Payment method for Special General Ledger

Dear Friends,
Can anyone please explain me about the Payment method and Payment request difference.
I got a two definitions in SAP liabiary
Under head Payment method and bank determination:
The payment program supports all payment methods including special G/L ledger account transactions (e.g payment with bill of exchange, down payment,u2026)
and Under head Payment methods:
The payment program for payment requests does not support payment methods portrayed via special general ledger transactions (e.g. bill of exchange, bill of exchange payment request).
Please let me know why he mentioned that the special gl trans. are suported by one defination and other one is not supported.
Please explain in simple english language.
Thanks in advance,
Mahendra Dev

Dear Mahendra,
There is a simple logic behind these two:
Payment requests are not the real documents like payment dues. If there is any due then these are generated. So It says system does not consider the Payment requests for Spl GL transactions.

Venkata Raju

Document number ranges in entry view and in General Ledger view

What is the difference between Document number ranges in entry view and in General Ledger view ?
We have new GL activated in our system , and found that the GL Document types ( SA) are assigned to document number ranges in entry view . What is the need to define document number ranges in General Ledger view ?

Hi,
Document Number Range in entry view is the document numbers which are posting in your leading ledger. You cant achieve the same document number range to the general ledger view. A General ledger view can have both Leading ledger view and non leading ledger view therefore document number range should not be kept same for both ledgers as your running document number gets skipped.
That to some times you can only post documents to only Non Leading ledgers. Therefore a separate number ranges needs to be created for general ledger view
Hope u understood.

General Ledger Reconciliation Detail Report shows a diiference

Hi,
I am doing a bank reconciliation in EBS and when I take out the General Ledger reconciliation report I get a difference. My understanding is that the system tries to balance my bank statement balance at a certain date to the general ledger balance after taking into consideration all the unreconciled payments and receipts. Is this correct? If yes, then could this just be a timing issue? Is their any way of ascertaining why I am getting this difefrence?
Thanks.

Hi.
The difference corresponds to the amount shown in the Bank Statement Detail Report (Unreconciled).

General Ledger - System Integrity and Control Check

Our SAP Business One system receives input from various sources on a daily basis. Therefore we would like to establish a business process to ensure balancing of the books and monitoring of suspense accounts.
How do we develop reports to check the following 3 items;
1. Business Units (On and Off Balance sheet accounts not balancing to zero and Monitoring specified category of accounts)
2. Ledgers Vs Journal integrity (Ensuring Journals, Detail Ledger and Daily Ledger are all consistent at all points of time)
3. Financial integrity (Comparing the balances held between the detailed Ledger, Monthly Average Ledger and Yearly Average Ledger - ensuring they are synchronised at all times)

Hi,
Please refer SAP note for GL variables. Note that it may be difference from version to version.
