Display credit balance with negative balance

Customer forgot to put a check box on above option in company detail. Eventually all the positive(debit) entry for expenses is showing a negative sign eg -1000.00 on the balance figure in Chart of account and vice versa for credit accounts.
Anyone has idea how to resolve this issue without having to rekey in history transactions?
Regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas Lai
there is a way.....but first
SAP would say you MUST re-inport. I agree, if you don't and they find out you played in the database they will not ASSIST you and you would be infringing the agreemnet your company/customer has with SAP.
Solution 1
Now i'll give you a solution after a warning. If you go to table OADM and in the column "DispPosDeb", change the value N to a Y. Your own choice.
Solution 2
If you do it the legal way, you should export and import everything.Use "import/export transactions from SAP" in administration->data Import/Export->Data import or Data export.
Hope this helps

The option 'Display Credit Balance with negative sign" was not activated.

I've encountered with a huge problem after load opening balance.
I forgot to tick the option 'Display Credit Balance with negative sign"
It makes my client's Chart of Account uncommon such as credit balance in Cash Account, AR .....
However, I've search the sap note to solve it as follow:
Description of the bug::
When creating the company in the system the option 'Display Credit Balance with negative sign' was not activated.
Once transactions were created in the system the functionality can not be changed.
Limits of the query:
After running the update query, please restart SBO first and then run the restore 'GL account and bp balances';
otherwise, the cashed value of SBO will not be updated and restore function may not take effect.
1. Meaning of restart SBO => restart SBO Service Manager right?
2. Please help me please to find "The restore G/L account and bp balances" form. Where is it?;
Thank you

Hi,
I would think that you are following the PEQ instructions for note 970813, correct?
If this is the case and you are using 2007 then you will find the restorev in the top menu; Help -> Support Desk -> Restore. You will find the functions here. Please note that this should only be used on direct instruction from support or a note like in this case. A backup should also be taken before running restore.

Moving assets with negative balance to zero.

Hello everybody
I have an asset account with negative balance because the monthly depreciation, but now the settings for this account must be zero and not allow negative balances. Which could be the procedure to don't have this account in negative balance anymore and move it to zero and what do I have to change or configure to don't allow any more depreciation for this account.
Thanks a lot

Hi Paul, I'm sorry to reopen this post again but I got an error when I did what you said, the situation was that I couldnu2019t change de depreciation key Trans: AS02, because I got an error message saying "Depreciation key xxxx should no longer be changed because the asset has been posted to already". Do I have to make something before in customizing or movement to make this change?
Thanks a lot

How to display the number with negative sign in the front in ALV.

most important, this ALV is also can totalize.
can someone give me some suggestion?
thanks
jisuwen

i hope you want a negative sign before a char but holding some number. then that case
loop at itab.
concatenate itab-char '-' into itab-char.
modify itab.
endloop.
and you can display in ALV with negative sign...
Totalling you need to Specify
DO_SUM = 'X' while populating fieldcatalog...
If subtotals then you have to Build sort table and based on that you can proceed./.
examples are there you can find inn SLIS package..

Finish Internal Order with Negative Balance - Adjustment Balance

Hi
The user did not transfer the budget from one year to the other through the KOCO. This procedure was performed in the middle of this year. During this period, some orders that were closed were negative. What can be done to the orders that were closed with a negative balance?
The balance transfers for transactions conducted KOCO (and KOCF) and take effect for orders closed?
What can be done to adjust these commands end with a negative balance? If there is any solution, is it a viable approach?
I can find any sap notes. I still search...
Thanks in advanced.
GLippmann

Hi Ajay! No, in this case, the balance finish negative because the KOCO was not executed and the IO was close.
We executed last month the KOCO transaction.
What can we do to correct the negative balance to these IOs closed in this period?
Thanks

Omit Customer with negative balance when printing aging

Hi All
I am using a crystal layout (converted from PLD) "Collection Report - CR (GB)" that I have downloaded from the portal.
This is a SAP8.8 version.
I have managed to add fields that he client wants, but Im having an issue with the selection Criteria.
Alot of their customer pay in advance so at the time of running the aging, their customer might have a credit balance
so those statements should not be printed and sent.
I tried using this in the Record Selection : {PLD__ITEMS.F_154_Format} > '0' - with PLD__ITEMS.F_154_Format being the balance.
It doesnt leave out the customer its suppose to, instead combines the lines of the next BP with the customer its suppose to leave out.
I even tried bringing in the OCRD table and using the formula in the record selection OCRD.Balance > 0, but then the entire report is blank.
Do i have to use that formula for in each section? to suppress the BP with a negatve balance?
Is there a way to leave them out when running the aging, I tried different option and cant seem to get it right.
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
Thank you
Jerusha

Hello,
Thank you for your input. The limitation is solved in 2007 A / 2007 B version as a part of new Internal Reconciliation concept.

Trail balance with legacy balances problem

Hi Experts,
Need yours input for me on trail balance amounts mismatch with Legacy system.
My client using the both systems legacy and sap.
Now client taking the reports from legacy for the legal submissions for this year08-09.
I have done matching each GL with Legacy GL. Some of them were talied and rest of not talied.
this includes recon a/c also.
for the expenses accounts i can make JV postings, but the problem is how to make postings
to the recon accounts.(customers, vendors etc)
we are here having a huge transactions and client doesnt want to dig out all each and every.
client wants to make the JVs differed figure for account heads instead of dig all.
please let me know the easy way or t.codes to adjust the figures in various accounts for trail balance.
Regards,
Soma

Hi,
My sincere advise is not just to go by an easy way..
Understand where there is a gap and why there is a gap, vendor wise for AP and customer wise in AR..
Then try posting the difference amounts into these accounts as you have done in the first case..
This is a little time consuming job but thats the best way. Dont just post the differences as tommorow reconciliation would be a problem.
Cheers

Why does B1 display negative balance amounts for the REVENUE GL accts

I am not an accountant.
When displaying the balances for REVENUE GL accts, the numbers are negative.
I know it is correct to do so since the P&L report displays them as positive.
Is this an accounting convention?
Mike

Hi Mike,
The revenue accounts should have a credit value if everything is alright with the business and the account setup.
In Administration -> Systam Initialisation -> Company Details: Tab 'Basic Initialisation' you will find the check box 'Display Credit Balance with Negative Sign'.
By default this is checked when creating a new company in most localisations.
As it says this means that when the balance of an account shows a credit value it will be displayed as a negative. Business One makes no difference if the accounts are Balance Sheet or Profit and Loss account.
I hope this answers the question.

Credit notes wit negative lines

hi,
actually its not possible to add a credit note with negative lines. Its not possible in 2005A and not possible in 2007A.
We need this functionality.
For example there are invoices with positions like that
item 200 Euro
- special bonus 20 Euro (has to be added in line because this has to be booked on a special account)
The invoice is fine. But when the invoice sould we canceled by credit note there is no way to do this by credit note!
Another example is if the customer returns some items, the special bonus has to be returned too.
We need this functionality very urgent. Is there a way to get this feature????
thanks
Markus

Hello,
We are aware of this problem and we plan to solve this in the future so the user can create the credit note automatically from the invoice.
Best regards
