Difference between JE and JE Reversal

How can i differentiate between a Journal Entry and its Reversal Entry.

Hi Syed,
Journal Entry
A journal entry, in accounting, is recording transactions into accounting journal items.
The journal entry can consist of several recordings, each of which is either a debit or a credit.
The total of the debits must equal the total of the credits.
Reversal of Entry
It is nothing but another Journal entry;
Reversal Journal entry is just making opposite entry of the original entry.
The debit item in the original entry becomes credit item in the reversal entry and vice versa.
For example:
If the original entry is "Fuel for vehicle   Debit 10,000
                                Gas Company                           Credit 10,000"
The reversal Entry would be either
                                  "Fuel for vehicle   Debit -10,000
                                Gas Company                           Credit -10,000"
Or
                                  "Fuel for vehicle   Credit  10,000
                                   Gas Company                           Debit  10,000"
Hope you are clear now,
Regards,
JO

  • What is the difference between RFX and Reverse Auctions.

    Hi friends
    What is the difference between RFX and Reverse Auctions? Is Reverse Auction a tool.
    Can we perform Reverse Auctions in Live Auction cockpit.
    Regards
    Surya

    A commonly used term in bidding is RFx. This is a generic term
    used to describe different types of requests. RFx includes, for example,
    Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Quotation (RFQ), Request for
    Information (RFI), etc.
    Reverse auctions include many of the same features as Bid Invitations, including (but not limited to) the following:
    Copy with reference
    Auction search
    Open Catalog Interface
    Internal / external attachments of any type
    Customer fields
    Error log
    Change log
    Template management
    Business partners at line level
    Workflow approval of bids
    PO / Contract creation (via Bidding Engine)
    XML export
    Yes you can perform reverse auctions in live auction **** pit
    Thanks

  • ABST2 - Differences between Assets and G/L accts

    Hi Experts
    We are working on ECC 6.0 and INR is our local currency.
    At the end of FY 2007 by mistake direct postings were made to Dep Fund Account which is a Recon a/c and FY 2007 was closed
    And because of which FI-GL and FI-AA doesnt match by INR 37353.71 (amt posted in above doc) as shown in ABST2
    I've referred SAP notes 104567 & 69225 and found the note 69225 relevant to follow as the difference has not resulted in the current or open years.
    So we have passed direct entry which is exactly the reversal of entry posted above using ABF1 (INR -37353.71)
    After posting the 2nd document, in ABST2 another line has appeared of INR -37353.71. Although the sum for my recon GL is now zero.
    The output of ABST2 is as below now -
    Sc  Acct no.   BusA  Year  SG  1st local difference  LCurr  Doc.no.    Period
    AS  31100                2009               37,353.71-        INR     W004
    AS  31100                2009               37,353.71         INR     W004       999
    When I come out of ABST2 , addition to 1st, error no 2 is also coming which I thought would disappear.
    1.Differences between assets and G/L accts in the balance carried forward
         Message no. MQ555
    2.Differences between assets and G/L accounts at the key date
         Message no. MQ557
    Is still something else needs to be done?
    Or can I move ahead as the summation of the difference is now zero?
    Please suggest.
    Kapil

    We referred to SAP and they suggeted that the tagging of W004 in both the lines means that now there is no error even system prompts it as error.
    So we continued with the transactions and after closing the FY 2009, today when we run ABST2, we dont get any error messages as there is no difference left between Assets & GL.

  • Difference between billing and invoice?

    Hi all
    can anybody say Difference between billing and invoice?
    thanks

    Hi Ipsit,
    Invoice is document indicating to delivery goods and Billing is a receipt of payment
    Tables are VBRK & VBRP. For flow, go to transaction VF03, enter document number and hit 'Display Document Flow' button on toolbar
    VBRK and VBRP holds billing/invoice details..
    Billing Document:
    Generic term for invoices, credit memos, debit memos, pro forma invoices and cancellation documents.
    The tables are VBRK and VBRP.
    2) -- once u do PGI the delivery document will be created. There is no way to stop it.. The thing u can to do go to the list of created deliveries in VL09. Select the delivery doc which u created. There u have the option of reversing the goods or canceling it.
    Billing is generic term and u can say invoice is a type of billing document.
    After PGI only way left is to cancel it by Using TCODE MBST as this Tcode is used to cancel any material document.
    Please Reward If Really Helpful,

  • Difference between Distribution and Assessment cycle

    Hi,
    Can any one help me regarding the above(Difference between Distribution and Assessment cycle)
    Thanks in advance
    Rajani

    HI,
    Assessment:
    Assessment was created to transfer primary and secondary costs from a sender cost center to receiving controlling objects. During assessment, cost centers or business processes can be used as senders .n The receivers for an assessment can be a cost center, WBS element, internal order, cost object, or a
    business process. You can restrict the number of receiver categories in customizing. n Primary and secondary postings are allocated at the end of the period by means of the user-defined
    key.
    n During assessment, the original cost elements are summarized into assessment cost elements
    (secondary cost element category = 42). As the system writes fewer totals records, the assessment
    has a better performance than periodic reposting and distribution.
    n Line items are posted for the sender as well as for the receiver, enabling the allocation to be recorded
    exactly. The system does not display the original cost elements in the receivers. Therefore,
    assessment is useful if the cost drilldown for the receiver is not important, for example, as in the case
    of the allocation for the "cafeteria" cost center.
    n Similar to distribution, the partner is updated in the totals record during distribution.
    n You can reverse assessments as often as required.
    n You use the Cycle -Segment method to define sender-receiver relationships.
    Distribution:
    Differences between periodic reposting and distribution are due to information content and
    performance.
    n For periodic reposting, no separate credit record is written on the sender for the cost element in the
    summary report. Instead, the totals record for the cost element is reduced on the debit side, which
    means that the original debit amount can no longer be checked there ("unclean credit"). However,
    during distribution, the system writes a totals record for the credit ("clean credit"). The information
    on the receiver is the same for periodic reposting and distribution ("clean debit").
    n Compared with periodic reposting, during distribution, the system also updates the partner in the
    totals record for the sender. This means that the partner can be displayed in the information system
    on the totals record level.
    n As fewer totals records are written during periodic reposting, performance is better than during
    distribution. See customizing for an example with figures that illustrates this aspect. Under utilities,
    make settings for the SAPscript text display, then call up the text by choosing Periodic reposting,
    Distribution, or Assessment from the menu.

  • DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ASSESSMENT AND DISTRIBUTION

    Dear Friends,
    What is the main difference between Assesment and Distribution?
    Thanks in advances.

    Hello,
    Please follow the forum rules
    1. No capital letters
    2. Search before posting
    DISTRIBUTION =========== Distribution was created for transfer primary costs from a sender cost center to receiving controlling objects. During distribution, only cost centers or business process can be used as sender. A distribution receiver can be a cost center, WBS element, internal order, cost object, or a business process. You can restrict the number of receiver categories in customizing. Primary Postings (such as, energy costs) are collected on a cost center, and allocated at the end of the period by means of the user-defined key. You can only distribute primary costs. During this process, the original cost element remains the same. Line items are posted for the sender as well as for the receiver, enabling the allocation to be recorded exactly. You can reverse distributions as often as required. You use the Cycle-Segment method to define sender-receiver relationships. PERIODIC REPOSTING ================= Differences between periodic reposting and distribution are due to information content and performance. For periodic reposting, no separate credit record is written on the sender for the cost element in the summary report. Instead, the totals record for the cost element is reduced on the debit side, which means that the original debit amount can no longer be checked there (u201Cunclean creditu201D). However, during distribution, the system writes a totals record for the credit (u201Cclean creditu201D). The information on the receiver is the same for periodic reposting and distribution (u201Cclean debitu201D). Compared with periodic reposting, during distribution, the system also updates the partner in the totals record for the sender. This means that the partner can be displayed in the information system on the totals record level. As fewer totals records are written during periodic reposting, performance is better than during distribution. ASSESSMENT =========== Assessment was created to transfer primary and secondary costs from a sender cost center to receiving controlling objects.

  • What are the Difference Between "Rfx" and "Auction"?

    Dear SRM Experts,
    I am MM consultant; new to SRM.
    I am trying to prepare list of difference between "RFx" and "Auction" for better understanding of the subject. I am able to see some differences, for example,
    1. In Auction "Weights and Scores" tab is not available, where as this facility is not available in RFx? 
                  (I hope this observation is correct?)
    WHAT IS THE EXACT LIST OF DIFFERENCES?
    Ganapathi

    Hi,
    In RFx  there are three option
    RFI- Request for Information.
    RFQ- Request for Quoation
    RFP- Request for Proposal
    In Auction.
    There are two types is Live Auction and Reverse Auction
    In Rfx the time limit is in days -Start date  and End date
    In Auction the time limit is in Hours or minutes - Say 30 minutes or one hour
    In RFX -once the bids are sent to the vendor you can change only upto the End date of the bid
    In Auction  -you can change any minutes or sec  because it is a  live auction
    In RFX . you cannot able to see the  price of the competitor
    IN Live Auction -you can see the price of the competitor and you can bid.
    Normally after RFX only the supplier wishes he can convet to LIVE AUCTION to get the better price.
    For eg there are three vendors - A,B,C --The prices quoted are Rs 95, 96,97 respectively.
    All the vendors are good. inorder to get the price advantage the supplier will convert the RFx into Live auction .
    In that the supplier will get the prices say close to Rs 90 /- because of Live auction.

  • Difference Between Normal and External Context Mapping

    Hi,
    I wonder the Difference Between Normal and External Context Mapping.
    I1ve already read the docs and articles but I didnt understand.
    Thanks,
    Jorge Luiz
    Edited by: Jorge Castro on Oct 9, 2008 4:23 PM

    Jorge,
    With this type of Mapping (also called Reverse Mapping) you can map the context of an using component, to that of the used component.
    You can find an example of this concept in WDA ALV: If you look at component SALV_WD_TABLE (which you declare as used when you intend to use ALV), you'll see that it has a node DATA declared as external. In your using component, you map your actual data node to this node.
    This allows the ALV to leave the DATA node type open and so to be reused, adjusting it's structure depending on the using component's data.
    Edited by: Alejandro Bindi on Oct 9, 2008 4:42 PM
    Made a mistake! Have not used this in a while...Ext. mapping is the OTHER way...Using -map-> Used Fixed.

  • What is a difference between MB01 and MBST  for GR Cancellation

    Hi,
    What is a difference between MB01 and MBST  for GR Cancellation.
    Regards,
    Aditya

    Hi,
    MB01 is used for doing the GR for collective PO at a single instance.
    This transaction will be utilize when an individual needs to create a material document.  A material document can only be displayed or changed after it has been generated in the SAP system.  In a computer based inventory management system, the principal of "no posting without a document" applies.  A material document is generated and stored in the SAP system for every transaction that causes a change in stock.
    As mentioned, when a goods movement is posted a material document is created.  It serves as proof of the movement   If the movement updates a G/L account; an accounting document is also created. The material and accounting document s are identified by unique document numbers
    Once you have posted a goods movement, you cannot change material numbers, quantities or account numbers in the material document.  You can however use the Change command to enter additional or change text information such as comments or references.  To reverse the movement or change a quantity, a new transaction must be performed.
    MBST:-
    Perform this transaction when a previously performed goods issue must be cancelled due to an error in data entry or other circumstances deem the previous transaction unnecessary.
    Prerequisites:-
    A previously played transaction that requires cancellation.
    An existing Material Document in SAP.
    This Transaction will be utilized when an individual needs to cancel a material document due to a data entry error or other circumstances deem a previous transaction unnecessary. A material document can only be cancelled after it has been generated in the SAP system. A material document is generated and stored in the SAP system for every transaction that causes a change in stock.
    Performing this transaction will "undo" a previous transaction by reversing individual line items in a material document or by reversing an entire material document. This transaction will reinstate the affected cost center, purchase order or stock location to the state they were in prior to playing the original transaction.

  • Difference between CO88 and KO88?

    Hi All,
    1. Any difference between CO88 and KO88 transactions(Please explain clearly)?
    2. Found one <b>REVERSE</b> menu item in the menu bar in both transactions. What is the purpose?
    3. Any <b>Functon module or BAPI</b> to acheive same result?( Above SAP transactions are performing for Reverse and Settlement).
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Rocky

    KO88 allows you to settle production orders one at a time.  You specify the order number
    CO88 is a collective process and will settle all order in a plant (or all plants) that have had WIP and Variance calculations pocessed.
    We use CO88 in the background as an overnight process and then use KO88 if orders needed correction and settlement individually (no point in running the entire plant to get 1 order)
    KO88 and CO88 should both be tested when new processes are created.

The empty String is just another object though, so seeing it or pointing it out as something special when it actually isn't at all (no more special than new Integer(0) or new Object[0]) just adds to the confusion.

  • Difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD

    Hi,
    Please make me clear about the difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD. In which cases we need to use these modules...??
    Thanks,
    Satish

    I would suggest to always use the GUI_UPLOAD.  I say this because this is the function module which is used in the GUI_UPLOAD method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.   Really, you should probably use the class/method instead of the function module.
      data: filename type string.
      filename = p_file.
      call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
             exporting
                  filename                = filename

  • Difference between char and varchar, also the difference between varchar2

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain me the difference between char and varchar, and also the difference between varchar and varchar2...

    Varchar2 is variable width character data type, so if you define column with width 20 and insert only one character to tis column only, one character will be stored in database. Char is not variable width so when you define column with width 20 and insert one character to this column it will be right padded with 19 spaces to desired length, so you will store 20 characters in the dattabase (follow the example 1). Varchar data type from Oracle 9i is automaticlly promoted to varchar2 (follow example 2)
    Example 1:
    SQL> create table tchar(text1 char(10), text2 varchar2(10))
    2 /
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into tchar values('krystian','krystian')
    2 /
    1 row created.
    SQL> select text1, length(text1), text2, length(text2)
    2 from tchar
    3 /
    TEXT1 LENGTH(TEXT1) TEXT2 LENGTH(TEXT2)
    krystian 10 krystian 8
    Example 2:
    create table tvarchar(text varchar(10))
    SQL> select table_name,column_name,data_type
    2 from user_tab_columns
    3 where table_name = 'TVARCHAR'
    4 /
    TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME DATA_TYPE
    TVARCHAR TEXT VARCHAR2
