Dummy PC/ Intercompany postings

Hi Experts,
Can some provide me some reason why the dummy postings occure in any transaction related to AR, AR, intercompany, balances postings?
One of the reason i know is if we don't assing Profit center to the source objects like costcenter, WBS, order etc we get postings to dummy pc. can there be other senarios
Thank you!

Hi
Another scenario related to the one you already pointed out is
you have assigned a profit center, but the document splitting rules do not include the item which has profit center as the source item or does not have the other items as accounts to be edited.
Regards

Intercompany Postings

How do we configure intercompany postings for AR and AP. We already have G/L accounts configured in OBYA. So how do we make intercompany posting entries with more revenue and expense accounts, so that when an invoice gets posted in one company code, it becomes payable for another company code.

Hi,
In OBYA you maintain company code 1 & 2 clearing gl accounts maintainence.
When you transfer the data of customer or vendor or gl accounts system will consider these gl accounts.
When you transfering open items from customer or vendors use transaction code F-04 option transfer posting with clearing so system will clear the open item in sender company code and create open item in receiver company code.
For asset transfer you need to maintain asset transfer gl account in all the asset classes(sender and receiver). So that system will allow to post.
Ensure at the end OBYA account balance should be Zero in sender and receiver company codes.

S_ALR_87012357, Intercompany Postings

Hello
We have been creating Intercompany postings through use of settings in OBYA successfully. However, for these intercompany postings, which also include a tax code, we are finding that report S_ALR_87012357 for VAT taxes is not successfully picking up the intercompany postings.
I have checked that other postings with the same tax code are included in the report. I have also checked that the intercompany postings have the tax code included in the line item. However, I cannot find an explanation as to why the VAT report is not picking them up. Is there another transaction I need to run or does this report not include intercompany for a reason? Could this be a config problem?
Thanks in advance

Hi Srikanth ,
As you mentioned it is showing the difference ...
Please find attached screenshot ...
Is there a way to correct this ? since its creating an issue& confusing from Finance/Accounting point of view...

Prevent Dummy Profit Center Postings

Hi All,
During posting of accounting documents (for eg: In T-code F-02), we need to prevent documents getting posted to dummy profit-centers when I post documents with cost-centers which are un-assigned to any profit center (T-Code KS02). Instead we need to bring in to the profit-center posted by the user. We have PCA activated.
We have tried to achieve with a substitution along with an user-exit (T-code: GGB1). But the user-exit is getting invoked only after the assignment of Dummy profit-center and is overwriting my profit center. Is this approach right? FYI, the substitution is done at the Financial Accounting/ Line-item level.
Kindly enlighten me with your solutions.
Thanks and Regards,

hi,
GOto tcode 3KEH and assign a default profit center wihc can be other than your dummy profit center. the Purpose behind this assignment is the system would not post your documents to the dummy in the first place and secondly while posting a transaction if you happen to select the profit center as B assuming profit A is assigned as the defualt profit center in 3keh against those g/ls , the system would check and post the transaction in the profit center assigned in the transaction and in the absence of the profit center in the transaction system will check if their is a default profit center assigned in 3keh for those g/ls incase if the system detects the default profit center which is other than your dummy then the postings will be made to that profit center. remember you can have only B/S accounts assinged in 3keh.
hope dis helps

Automatic clearing of Intercompany postings in In-House Cash?

Dear Sirs,
can anyone confirm that If we are using In-house Cash we can get intercompany invoices automatically cleared?
For example:
Company A: vendor:
Company B: customer.
If company A make an invoice over company B, when we process the payment in company B we will get both the invoicing postings, in both companies, automatically cleared? Also, we would like to know if the receivable is real-time updated in company A when we process the payment in the company B.
Thaks a lot.
Ricardo Ferrã

Hi Ricardo
For each subsidiary interfacing payments to the IHC, it requires that F110 is configured. This means that you configure the bank account determination from subsidiary to IHC, state what bank clearing to clear when uploading the bank statements from the IHC.
In the IHC center it requires that you configures the "whole" IHC module - or at least the payment processes you need. IHC has 4 processes:
1) Intercompany payments
2) External payments
3) Incoming payments
4) Cross bank area postings
In order to send the payments out externally from the IHC center to the external partner banks, you must configure F111. The IHC is automatically checking if the payment is internal or external based on whether the bank area between the two counterparties are the same or not. If not, the system will check for a route to see if the payment should be forwarded to another bank area and if no routes exist, the system will assume that you want to pay via "an external" system and hence create an entry in the payment request table.
Using IHC will thus generate the same amount of postings in AR and AP as if you were using an external bank.
Let me know if further explanation is needed

Intercompany postings (OBYA)

Hello gurus,
I would appreciate your assistance on an issue I am facing. POINTS AVAILABLE.
My client transfers stock from their US plant to their UK plant. The UK plant in turn sells the product.
The accounting entries are as follows:
Debit.......Intercompany A/R (UK) GL acct 115000 (US CoCd)
......Credit........Inventory GL acct 110000 (US CoCd)
Debit.......GR/IR GL acct 230000 (UK CoCd)
......Credit.......Intercompany A/P (UK) GL acct 265000 (UK CoCd)
Debit.......Inventory GL acct 110000 (UK CoCd)
......Credit.......GR/IR GL acct 230000 (UK CoCd)
I have maintained the config in OBYA as follows:
Posted in.......US
Cleared against.....UK
Debit posting key...40..................Credit posting key..50
Account debit........115000...........Account credit 110000
Posted in.......UK
Cleared against.....US
Debit posting key...40..................Credit posting key...50
Account debit.......110000.....Account credit.........265000
What do I do with the GR/IR postings? Because the inventory will be in transit for a period of time before it reaches the UK. Do I maintain anything in OBYC using WRX?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply Kamal. I have a few questions for you:
1) You mentioned that we don't have to consider GR/IR. But what about when the stock is in transit? Before the stock physically gets to the UK, it needs to be posted somewhere. That is why I was asking about whether it needs to be posted temporarily in some sort of account. Does the clearing account act as a temporary account while the stock is in transit?
2) This is in reference to your example below:
2000 1 89 790000 Unfinished products 202.80 EUR 9990
2000 2 93 285000 Gain - inventory tra 49.41- EUR 9999
2000 3 50 194001 Clear.w/ co.cde 1000 153.39- EUR
1000 1 99 790000 Unfinished products 153.39- EUR 9999
1000 2 40 194002 Clearing with B 153.39 EUR
I don't understand where the 49.41- credit came from. Could you elaborate?
Thanks!

Can 'DUMMY PROFIT CENTRE' postings be reallocated to a 'real' Profit Centre

I am working for a company that was implemented with the majority of Cost Centres having no Profit Centre assignments. This means that all the historical PCA documents have been posted to DUMMY PC. We now wish to change this concept by creating new Profit Centres and assigning the current Cost Centres to them. Will only new transactions post to the new Profit Centres or is it possible to redirect historical PCA postings to the new structure? The system has been live for a few years but it would be extremely useful if at least the last and current fiscal year postings could be re-assigned.
Many thanks for any guidance with this topic.
Kind regards,
Alan Gilbert

Hi Gilbert
1. Historical transactions as such wont flow automatically to new PCs..
2. But you can either create a distribution cycle or use 9KE0
Using 9 KE0: You can calculate cumulative values per GL / Prof Ctr combination and do a mass upload using 9KE0
Or If you use BW for reporting, you can also upload the values in BW

AR Intercompany postings

Can we post debit and credit notes in FI AR without involving SD. How do we clear AP and AR for intercompany invoices. Is it possible to do intercompany payments for countries outside USA. Can reserves and write offs be configured in FI AR without SD, if yes, how do we post reserves and write offs in Accounts Receivable? Is it possible to post recurring and non recurring entries in FI AR for third parties or do we need to have SD module in place for that.Will greatly appreciate, if I can get the answers for the above.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
1. yes, you can posy debit/credit notes without involving of SD, Tcode : FB65 & FB75
2. Enter your customer in vendor master and vice versa for intercompany ap and ar clearings.
3. yes, Intercompany payments are possible.
4. Reserves and write offs you can use w/o intervention of SD module. you have to use special gl functionality for this.
5. yes you can post recurring entries for AP and AR transactions.
Don't expect more than this forum.
If you want to know each point individually, you have to do little search in the forum.

2 Controlling areas - Intercompany postings

Hello Experts,
Our client is looking at the possibility of having more than One Controlling area and Chart of Accounts. Say for instance, the Production Plants are in different Controlling area and using different COA, whereas the Sales companies located in different countries having a Separate Controlling area and Chart of accounts.
I do certainly understand that the system will be very very complex. However, we would like to know if there would be any issues while doing Intercompany transactions like delivering from Production plants to Sales companies / Delivery directly to the customers located in sales company's country.
I came across some write ups saying Cross controlling area costing is not possible.. But would that restrict the Intercompany billing as well?
I do not understand this clearly. Can anyone please explain the Pros and Cons of following the above Org structure.
Thanks
Prasad

Hi
I dont have any doc as such.. But, it will be the usual inter co billing scenario which I am sure, your SD guy would be aware of.. there is no spl process for your case..
In Inter co scenario, you have 2 choices
1. To follow the sale-purchase route
2. To use an inter company STO
in (1), you create SO in seling company and PO in purchasing company... Using IDOCS it can be automated... I am not detailing it here
(1) is used when the Material No is not same in both the companies.... Another drawback of this is that you cannot see Stock in Transit when your goods have been despatched from A but have not reached B
(2) is used when Mat No is same in both the companies... Adv is that you get to see stock in transit till the time B posts Goods receipt in his system
The no of transactions are also less in this case
I personally prefer (2)... Your SD/MM guys wud be aware of both.. I guess you should not worry on that front

OBYA Intercompany postings..

Hi
I have newly created a company code, configuring OBYA intercompany clearing accounts.
However i am need to create master data for the clearing g/l accounts and i am faced with below questions
1: Intercompany clearing account be Balance Sheet or P&L accounts.
2: What account group should i give in master data
3: Open item management /line item display??
4: Any other master data settings.
Appreciate your help
Thanks,
Reddy

1: Intercompany clearing account be Balance Sheet or P&L accounts.
2: What account group should i give in master data
3: Open item management /line item display??
4: Any other master data settings.
1. You can maintain them as Blance Sheet GL Accounts. (as these are inter company receivable amount of payable amounts - like assets or liabilities)
2. You must have created suitable accounts groups, for example Balance Sheet Items
3. Activate Open item Management and Line item display activated for these accounts.
4. Please let me know if you need any further doubts in specific.

Regards,

Hi Sridhar,
I have checked all the above cases, payment is wwithin tolerance limits, but still system is posting as residual posting when we import lockbox file but tolerances are working when we do manual posting.
when we changed the Percentage in OBA3 and in tolerance groups for users system is writing off to a gl account which we needed. But the problem is by doing this we were limiting the tolerances by amount only we were not able to take advantage of percentage since we enter 99.9% and system takes minimum of the two. Do you have any idea about this.
Thanks,
Santosh
