Difference between FI Posting and Payment Posting

Hello Experts,
Can anyone please throw some light on the use of Program "H99_POST_PAYMENT" (Payment Posting Program - PC00_M99_PPM)?
What does this program exactly do? Anyone who can answer me interms of Technical and Business Perspective.
Also how is this program different from Traditional Posting Program (RPCIPE00 / PC00_M99_CIPE)?
All inputs are appreciated.
Thanks,
Janga K.

Program "H99_POST_PAYMENT
Purpose
All payments are posted automatically with this report.
Features
If you have performed posting to Accounting (FI/CO), all open liabilities from Payroll are placed on the relevant liabilities accounts accounts, as well as the payments to employees.
In the standard system, as the payment medium is created for the payments to employees from HR, the system does not mechanically generate the corresponding liabilities accounts. Neither the DME preliminary program (programs RPCDTAx0, or RPCDTCx0 and HxxCDTC0, or RPRDTAx0 ) or the program for creating the data medium (programs RFFO*) perform posting in the FI general ledger. Therefore, if the system in HR generates the payment mediums for payments to employees, you must also perform manual postings in parallel. These manual postings are usually performed with the payment summary. In most cases, there is only one posting containing only a few posting items, that is, one posting item for each bank clearing account and each company code involved.
If, however, the liabilities are distributed according to expenses, more posting items are generated. You can no longer perform posting manually.
Selection
With the report H99_POST_PAYMENT, all payments are evaluated regardless of whether they have been paid or not. All wage types included in table BT and table T52POST_PAYMENT count as payments.
RPCIPE00
This program is used to post the payroll results to accounting/FI.
All wagetypes which are configured to the respective GL accounts using the symbolic account are simulated and the documents so generated using this reported are then executed thru PCP0 to have the values posted to the General Ledger.
Thanks and Kind Regards

  • Difference between Stock transfer and transfer posting

    I am little confused about the difference between stock transfer and transfer posting. Please clarify
    <<Locked - reason: failed to search before posting question>>
    Edited by: Csaba Szommer on Feb 9, 2011 9:10 AM

    Hello,
    Transfer posting may involve or not involve the physical goods transfer.  In the system you might do transfer posting from quality to unrestricted, or from one store location to another.
    In transfer posting you remove and or replace materials from storage in one storage location and place them in another storage location.
    That transction code you use for transfer posting MB1B with following movement types may be used
    301, 303,305,311,411,309.
    301 is Stock Transfer Between Plants in One Step
    303 & 305 : Stock Transfer Between Plants in Two Steps
    In stock transfer, it always involves physical movement of goods, like transfer between plants under same company code or different company codes.
    Following types are possible with STO's
    Stock Transport Order Without Delivery
    Stock Transport Order with Delivery via Shipping
    Stock Transport Order with Delivery and Billing Document/Invoice

  • What is the difference between Commit, Commit_Form and Post ?

    What is the difference between Commit, Commit_Form and Post ?

    Commit() and commit_form() are exactly the same. The changes done into the databased blocks are made in the database select/insert/update and commited.
    post() does the same, but without the last commit in the database (so that you can rollback).

  • QM- Differnce between stock posting and Qty. posting

    Hi Gurus,
    I want to know what is the difference between the term stock posting and the term qty. posting.Is it possible to do the stock posting and qty. posting from QA32 screen.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    The term Qty posting and Stock Posting are same. The material stock or qty can be transfered to different storage locations or to different plants or to different companies. The material will be removed from one location and added in the other location.
    Through QA32 you can do the stock or qty posting if the material is in the Quality stock.

  • Feature set difference between FI-AR and FI-CA

    Hi,
    While I am trying to do a comparison analysis between FI-AR/AP and FI-CA for Insurance Industry, I can deduce various facts like FI-CA been developed for transaction extensive industries like telecom/insurance which might often need automated processing (FI-AR appears to have more of manual processes for handling aspects of incoming payments) along with required performance. FI-AR/AP are more of standard Accounts receivable/payable module not necessarily catering to exact needs of industries mentioned above. Another major difference is the more flexible master data model FI-CA has to offer compared to FI-AR/AP.
    However, I am not able to deduce clearly if there are corresponding features available in FI-AR/AP for specific features available in FI-CA for handling incoming & outgoing payments. e.g.:
    1) Is bank reconciliation supported in FI-AR/AP? Do we have mechanisms to upload electronic bank statement for the same?
    2) Does FI-AR provides varying features like different lot processing in FI-CA for bulk processing, Cash desk (i know this is not supported in FI-AR). The process of clearing appears to be very manual intensive.
    3) Similarly what is the support for payments (especially automated for bulk processing) in FI-AP? 
    4) Assume other insurance industry specific features like brokers collection, collection agency collections, co-insurance specific features etc. are not supported in FI-AR/AP and no corresponding features would exist for obvious reasons.  
    Please suggest any other major differences between FI-CA and FI-AR/AP from an Insurance/Reinsurance industry perspective you may know of.
    Thanks in advance for your time.
    Regards,
    Ankit

    Ravindra,
    1) Check the configuration.
    Data from SD is posted to accounts (FI/PCA) via condition type -> accout key -> access sequence -> account.
    Data from SD is posted to SIS via the mapping of condition type to key figures.
    2) Check if values are posted to sales accounts directly from FI. These will not reflect in SIS.

    Hi,
    Refer following link;
    [SAP ERP Solution Browser|http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/]
    Following are the basic differences as far as MM Module is concerned;
    Pickup list - Batch where-used list display in transaction MB56
    u2022 Until release 4.7, the top-down and bottom-up analyses in the function pickup list for batch where-used list (transaction MB5C) were displayed only in the form of simple output lists. As of release 6.00 of SAP ERP Central Component, the function pickup list for batch where-used list branches to the batch where-used list itself (transaction MB56).
    u2022 In addition, user can define how the data in the batch where-used list is displayed, in the initial screen.
    u2022 User can use all the settings available in the batch where-used list. For example, he can expand transfer posting or display vendor batch. However, it is not possible to limit the selection to valid plants in the initial screen of the pickup list.
    Usability enhancements for transaction MIGO for the posting of goods movements
    u2022 For goods movements that refer to purchase orders as reference documents (for example, goods receipt, goods issue, subsequent adjustment), user can specify the ordering plant as an additional selection criterion directly next to the purchase order number and the item number.
    u2022 There is a new default value: "copy account assignment fields." When entering other goods receipts, user can copy existing account assignment data from the previous item to use as the default values for a new item. To do this, user has to set the copy account assignment fields indicator in the default values.
    u2022 User changes the default values in the menu path "Settings -> Default Values."
    u2022 Goods movement is monitored with reference to a material document. When you enter the following goods movements, it is possible to specify a material document, such as the following, as the reference document:
    - Goods receipt
    - Goods issue
    - Transfer posting
    - Remove from storage
    u2022 Note that these material documents must be documents that have arisen from a goods movement without reference ("Others") and that are not reversal documents.
    New report : display list of invoice documents (MIR5)
    u2022 Logistics invoice verification offers a new report display list of invoice documents (RMMR1MDI), w hich user can use to display such a list (Transaction is MIR5).
    u2022 As an addition to the existing program invoice overview (transaction code MIR6), user have extended selection criteria and display options. For example, on the initial screen user can make selections by one-time customers, invoice gross amount, and entry date.
    u2022 User can also show an expert mode, which enables him to select at plant level by FI document, GL A/c posting, and Material Posting.
    u2022 In the output list, the report shows both posted and held invoices.
    u2022 It does not show invoices without a corresponding FI document; such as invoices planned for verification in the background or which the software has already verified as containing errors.
    Requirement prioritizations in materials management
    u2022 With Requirement Prioritization functionality user can assign requirement urgency at item level in purchasing and reservation documents.
    u2022 The software determines the relevant requirement priority (overall priority) of a material requisition from the combination of requirement urgency group and organizational priority.
    Mass maintenance of outline agreements
    The following two transactions available:
    u2022 Mass maintenance for contracts: transaction code MEMASSCONTRACT
    u2022 Mass maintenance for scheduling agreements: transaction code MEMASSSA
    Commitment plan for purchase contracts
    u2022 With the function of the commitment plan for purchase contracts, it is possible to pre plan value consumption for a purchase contract.
    u2022 To this end, a commitment plan is generated for each document item of the relevant contract.
    u2022 This commitment plan itself can have any number of items.
    u2022 User can define a value and a validity date for each commitment plan item.
    u2022 This enables user to pre plan different values for different periods of time.
    u2022 The software generates an earmarked fund document for a defined commitment plan item.
    u2022 This earmarked funds document can in turn contain several different items with different account assignments.
    u2022 The software adopts these account assignments from the item account assignments of the commitment plan.
    u2022 If a purchase requisition or purchase order references this contract, the earmarked funds document is copied into the purchase order, and the account assignment is adopted from that document.
    u2022 Account assignment to a different account assignment object is then no longer allowed.
    Availability check in "Enjoy purchase order and requisition"
    u2022 Display and checking of availability are invokable separately in the "Enjoy purchase order and requisition" function, in line with the software behavior on the sales side.
    u2022 User invoke the display and checking of availability in the "Enjoy purchase order" function (transaction code ME21N) and the "Enjoy purchase requisition" function (transaction code ME51N) as follows:
    - To display the availability overview, choose the menu path "Environment -> Availability." - To check availability, choose the "Check Availability" icon.
    - Until this release, if user carried out the availability check for an item of a stock transport order, the software adopted confirmations as per the desired date/time only.
    u2022 Two settings are possible with availability check:
    - Confirmation as per desired date/time (this is the standard setting and corresponds to previous software behavior)
    - Delivery proposal - Full confirmation
    External services: putting service items in the purchase order on hold (changed)
    User can put purchase orders with service items on hold if these items do not contain any errors. Purchase orders with service items can also be put on hold if errors occur only at header level or as a result of the availability check.
    Customizing transactions OX18 replaced by view
    The assigned customizing transactions have been replaced by the following view in the following implementation guide activity in customizing for the enterprise structure: Assign plant to company code: transaction OX18 replaced by view V_T001K_Assign. One will find this activity in the implementation guide under the menu path "Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Logistics General -> Assign Plant to Company Code."
    Goods receipt: new movement types in inventory management
    The following new movement types are available in inventory management:
    - 107: Goods receipt to valuated goods receipt blocked stock
    - 109: Goods receipt from valuated goods receipt blocked stock
    Prepayment of invoices
    This functionality is characterized as follows:
    u2022 User can trigger prepayment of vendor invoices in logistics invoice verification.
    u2022 User use the prepayment function for vendors with whom organisation has a good, long-standing relationship.
    u2022 The function enables payment soon after issue of the invoice and full exploitation of the date of required payment and existing cash discounts, by posting the vendor liabilities, taxes, and cash discounts in financial accounting in advance.
    u2022 The software executes the payment of the invoice regardless of the relevant goods receipt and the outcome of the invoice verification check.
    u2022 Most logistics invoice verification standard functions are not affected by the prepayment function.
    u2022 When the software posts invoices, it continues to execute the standard checks.
    u2022 If the software has already posted the prepayment document, user can make only restricted changes to the header fields of the invoice.
    u2022 To ensure adequate and orderly financial accounting postings, a prepayment clearing account has been added to SAP ERP Central Component.
    u2022 Upon prepayment, the software debits this account and then settles the account again after executing the check.
    Purchasing accounting information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse
    u2022 With the transfer of the purchasing account information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse component (whose functionality is now part of SAP Net Weaver), it is now possible to maintain Info Cubes, reports, and queries that can determine how and where the costs from purchasing documents have been assigned and controlled.
    u2022 As part of the software, a new data source (2LIS_02_ACC) has been created and the purchasing extraction process extended to cover the account information for purchasing orders, schedule agreements, and contracts.
    Automatic settlement of planned delivery costs with evaluated receipt settlement (MRDC)
    u2022 A new report (RMMR1MDC), available within the logistics invoice verification, can be used to automatically settle planned delivery costs.

  • Difference between F-28 and F-30

    Hi,
    Can someone please explain what is the difference between F-28 and F-30?
    Thanks,
    Rock

    Hi,
    As the description says,
    F-28 - Post Incoming payments
    F-30 - Post with clearing
    Incoming pmts is a normal posting.
    Will explain the post with clearing with example -
    Say a situation, when an employee is treated as vendor and is given a cheque for official expenses.  He need to cash this in bank.
    So the first JV will be -
    Vendor - Debit
    check o/s - Credit
    When the employee present the check to the bank and cash it, there is one way to pass the JV normally through FB01.  But ideally, the better way is to Post with clearing.  So,
    check o/s - Debit
    Bank - credit
    Hope it is clear.  Pls. assign points, if useful
    Thanks,

    Best Regards,
    S Balasubramanian
    Moderator: Please, read basic SAP material

    Hi S Balasubramanian,
    Any transactionn which is related directly with Cash is done in Cash journal(Petty Cash).
    Example:Cash withdrawal from Bank,Cash deposit in Bank, Vendor payment in Cash, Customer payment in cash, small expense payment in cash, revenue through cash.
    Using cash journal we can identify the exact cash receipts and cash payment and cash balance.
    Regarding F-02, This transaction is used to do general ledger posting.
    Using this transaction we can do General ledger posting, customer invoice, customer payment, vendor invoice, vendor payment,
    we can post any transaction using F-02  and combination of the posting keys.

  • Difference between Regular Reversal and out-of-sequence reversal

    Can anyone help me understand the difference between Regular Reversal and out-of-sequence reversal? How does the system behave differently i these two reversals?
    Thanks
    Charlene

    Sorry for the long reply, as here's some information that I have on Voids and Out-of-Sequence reversals.
    On occasion, SAP payroll results can be created in error. In these cases, the payment never goes to the employee and the payroll result should never have been created. These cases are considered “reverse payments” in the off cycle workbench.
    There are two forms of “reverse payments”: voids and out of sequence reversals. Notes 160515, 159701 and 337626 should be reviewed carefully.
    An out of sequence reversal occurs when third party remittance has been run for the payroll result, or when the payroll result is not the most recent result in the cluster directory for the employee. Wage type /568 (total reversal amount) is created in the reversed result for posting purposes. Wage type /571 replaces any /559 wage types in the reversed result and the BT cluster is cleared.
    Wage type /568 is created for posting purposes and it will not appear in any retros over the reversed result.
    An out of sequence reversal should not occur when the employee receives the money unless the actual check is returned or the direct deposit is reversed by the bank.  Because of the tax when paid principle, even if an employee writes a check back to the company for the overpaid amount, this should be processed by retro master data changes and the employee check should be used to relieve any claims in the most recent period.  The claims processing guide gives details on how to relieve claims. Out of sequence reversals depend on third party remittance but not on posting to FI.
    /568 - Total reversal amount - If you cancel a payroll result that A. Has had payments made to third parties or B. is other than the last one.  This is considered an out of sequence reversal.  If these two conditions do not apply, a true void occurs.     Wage type /568 is the total reversal amount.  Should be the sum of /569, /570 and /571.
    /571 - Reversal of /559 - Wage type /571 is the reversal of /559 (bank transfer).  /571 will record the amount from wage types /559.  The /559 wage types will be deleted from the cluster that was reversed.  Wage type /571 will have the same sign as wage      type /559. 
    In payroll reporting, the reversal amounts are evaluated in the next payroll period. The same is true for posting to FI.
    The out of sequence reversal should have been accompanied by a master data change that forced a retro via infotype 0003.
    This retro will fix FI postings in the posting process that accompanies the retro run.For this reason, out of sequence reversals do not need an entry in table T52OCG for processing by the off cycle batch process.
    Regardless of if a ‘reverse payment’ is a void or an out of sequence reversal, there should be an associated master data change to perform this process properly. There had to be a reason that the payment should not have been made and this reason needs to be reflected in the employee’s master data. Both voids and out of sequence reversals can occur before or after the master data change, but the safest method is to perform the master data change first to ensure it occurs before the next payroll is processed.
    In payroll reporting, voids are bypassed in the period for which they were originally paid. This means that if a payroll report is run for a specific period containing a void, the voided result will not be picked up. In FI, voids are bypassed in the period in which they were voided. This is possible because the off cycle batch process already reconciled any incorrect posting that occurred before the payroll result was voided.
    A voided payroll result occurs when no money was given to the employee and no money was remitted through third party remittance.  A void is simply a check or direct deposit that was created in error.  The payroll control record was already exited and the check or direct deposit was already processed, therefore the payroll result can not be recalculated in the original period.
    A void can only occur if the payroll result is the most recent result for the employee.
    If the payroll result is not the most recent result, an out of sequence reversal occurs by default. It is irrelevant whether the transfer to FI has occurred or not with relation to voids.  Some OSS notes state that posting to FI does matter and these notes are in error.

  • Difference between return delivery and cancellation

    What is the difference between return delivery and cancellation in  MIGO transaction.
    Can any one explain how to use them and where to use them.
    thanks

    HI there
    I will make it simple with figures,,
    Return Delivery
    PO- 100 nos
    GR-100 nos in to QI stock,,,
    After the Inspection- 95 nos Accepted, 5 nos Rework
    1. Return Delivery - Expecting the Subsequent Delivery- post the 5 nos into 122 (Return to Vendor), he will do the rework and provide the component back after the inspection if the qulaity is ok receive into 101
    2.Return Delivery- Not expecting the delivery back- post the 5 nos into 122 (Return to Vendor) and close the PO, if the payment already create the Credit memo for the 5 nos,,,
    Cancellation
    Ex:
    1. GR for the 100 nos into 103 instead of 101, so cancel the document through 104
    At the time of cancel the document, Always use the origin material document, so that
    1. All the data will be copied automatically
    2. Reversal Movement type will be defaulted
    3. Material Cost will be picked on the last material document,, if not it will pick the price from PO/Order.
    Hope it helps you

  • Difference between Subsequent credit and Credit memo

    Hi,
    Please tell me what is differnece between Subsequent credit and Credit memo.
    You shoud give me on business exmple
    Thanks and Regards
    Anil Patil

    Hi Anil,
    For CREDIT MEMO
    A Credit Memo (short for "credit memorandum") is a commercial document issued by a seller to a buyer, listing the products, quantities and agreed prices for products or services the seller provided the buyer, but the buyer did not receive or returned. It may be issued in the case of damaged goods, errors or allowances. In respect of the previously issued invoice, a Credit Memo will reduce or eliminate the amount the buyer has to pay.
    The Credit Memo usually contains: PO #, Date, Billing Address, Shipping Address, Terms of Payment, List of products with quantities and prices. Usually it references the original Invoice and sometimes states the reason for issue.
    Credit Memos are often called Credit Notes or just Credits.
    The seller usually issues a Credit Memo for the same or lower amount than the invoice, and then repays the money to the buyer or sets it off against a balance due from other transactions.
    The term may also refer to the document provided by a bank to a depositor to indicate the depositor's balance is being increased because of an event other than a deposit, such as the collection by the bank of the depositor's note receivable.
    SAP Difference between Credit memo and subsequent debits/credits
    Subsequent Debits/Credits are used in cases where the quantity is in the original invoice is to remain the same.
    Example:
    PO 10 - $10
    GR 10 - $10
    LIV 10 - $11 (Logistics Invoice Verification)
    The vendor invoice is more than that in the Purchase Order.
    In order to correct, the Vendor may send in another invoice for the Increased amount
    or a credit memo for the reduce amount.
    If you approve of the price increase,
    post the subsequent invoice received as a Subsequent Debit Invoice.
    If it is a credit memo that has been received for reducing $1 of invoice price,
    then post the credit memo as Subsequent Credit.
    This would retain the quantity but reduce the amount.
    Subsequent Debit/Credit is for the case when the credit is not for the full amount
    eg. if the Vendor decided to credit & only the $1 overcharged.
    Credit memo is for the credit of the full amount and value.
    Regards,
    VB

  • Difference between sy-tabix and sy-index?

    Edited by: Suhas Saha on Jun 18, 2011 5:33 PM

    HI,
        Here is a brief description of difference between SY_TABIX and SY_INDEX and using them with several conditions.
    SY-TABIX
    Current line of an internal table. SY-TABIX is set by the statements below, but only for index tables. The field is either not set or is set to 0 for hashed tables.
    APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last line of the table, that is, it contains the overall number of entries in the table.
    COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or inserted line in the table. If the table has the type HASHED TABLE, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
    LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current line at the beginning of each loop lass. At the end of the loop, SY-TABIX is reset to the value that it had before entering the loop. It is set to 0 if the table has the type HASHED TABLE.
    READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line read. If you use a binary search, and the system does not find a line, SY-TABIX contains the total number of lines, or one more than the total number of lines. SY-INDEX is undefined if a linear search fails to return an entry.
    SEARCH <itab> FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line in which the search string is found.
    SY-INDEX
    In a DO or WHILE loop, SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes including the current pass.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,
    Pavan.

  • What is difference between bus.Area and plant

    dear experts, 
                what is difference between bus.Area and plant?
    thanks
    Rajakarthik.

    Hi
    Plant and Business Area are not the same.
    Business Areas are configured in FI module as per the Product lines or geographical operations basis.
    Where as The plants created in the logistics (General) module are assigned to the company code. That means all transactions taking place in the plants are posted to the attached company code in SAP FI.
    You can post a business area to several company codes and use it for cross-company-code reporting.
    The R/3 System uses a combination of plant and division to assign the relevant business area.
