End of year accounts/stock write down issue

Hi all,
We have had our accounts prepared and looking at the numbers need to do a write down of stock.
All our inventory valuation is done via FIFO.
1. We ran a report of old inventory using the inventory audit report upto 30/6/09 (last day of our financial year).
2. Using this, we have a valuation of say $100k which we want to write down the old stock by.
3. However, if we go into inventory revaluation report, it shows stock/quantities at current status, and gives a message saying item cost will become negative if we proceed (as a few items have sold between 30/6 and today).
Since both now and in the future, stock write downs will be made probably a few weeks after the end of the financial year (so P&L etc can be prepared), how do we get around this problem? Ideally we want to be able to revalue the old stock at the 30/6 each year.
Thanks,
Rajiv

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for the reply. I have been giving this alot more thought. I think in this case the business process may be in question:
- do most companies out there prepare and do their inventory write downs on the year end day at close of business?
If so, then the current revaluation system makes sense. If not, then I am not sure what the correct way to revalue inventory is on B1 at the moment, as the built-in method only allows you to revalue stock at hand today rather than stock at posting date specified. From a systems perspective I recognise this makes sense (as otherwise alot of postings regarding profit per item etc would become nonsense!).
If however, like us, most companies finalise inventory figures for write down a few weeks after year end, then what should we be doing?
NOTE: "Year end" in the above does not refer to any specific year-end procedures on SAP, literally just the last day of the financial year upto where we do P&L, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance for accounts submission.
Thanks,
Rajiv

Error during Year-end closing Asset Accounting (AJAB)

Hi,
While executing transaction AJAB (year end closing AA) the system, the system issues a message "Transactions not completely periodically posted". The detailed message is AU075 "Asset balance sheet values not completely posted".
Processing the error message:
While proceeding through the error message details I checked "Define How Dep Areas Post to GL" and found that 4 depreciation areas are maintained as under:
Area/Description/ G/L/ Target Group
01/ Book dep/1 (Area posts in Realtime)/0L (Leading Ledger)
15/Income tax dep/0 (Area does not post)/ Blank
21/ IFRS/ 3 (Area posts dep only)/1F (IFRS Ledger)
Then I clicked on start APC program, which leads to transaction ASKB (Periodic Asset Posting). The transaction could not be posted as document type is not assigned for periodic posting of Asset Values in SPRO>Fin. Accounting (New)>Asset Accounting>Integration with GL Accounting>Post APC values periodically to GL Accounting>Specify document type for periodic posting of asset values.
I've got 2 queries:
1) whether year-end closing can be executed if the document type is assigned and transaction ASKB is run.
2) If the answer to first query is yes, how come the same error did not encounter in other company codes (the error occurred only in 2 company codes). I've also checked the depreciation area maintained in asset masters of the company code where no such problem was encountered and found it to be same as the company code where the problem has occurred.
Seek your expert advise to resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Vipin Patankar

Hi Malhar,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I understand that the issue can be resolved by assigning document type and execute ASKB. At present document type 'AF' is being used for depreciation posting, can we use the same document type for APC value posting or some other document type should be used.
I still need some more highlight on the reason for not facing the problem in other company codes.
Thanks,
Vipin Patankar

Report to check all GL account wise at the end of year

hii friends,
Can we see all GL accounts wise report with opening balance, transaction and closing balance at the end of year.
In FS10 N we are able to see one account no and it details or else we can see the total of all the balaces but not the a.c wise.
can anybody help me out with any standard report or T.code to check no of GL accounts with the details of opening balance, transaction and closing balance.
the purpose is for reporting at the end of year.
Thanks in advance.....

Hi,
For genertaing the report as per ur requirement, u can follow the following path:
SAP Easy Acess->Accounting->Financial Accounting->General Ledger->Information System->General Ledger Reports->Account balances->General->G/L Account balances/Totals and balances/Structured Account balances.
Remenber in the selection criteria dont mention any particular G/L a/c no. if u want report for a number of G/L accounts.In that case, u can mention ur co. code or a range of G/L accounts as a selection criteria and the report will be generated accordingly.
Hope this clarifies to some extent.
Please reward points if u find this to be useful.
Thanks,

I logged in to pay my bill via the app yesterday and my stored form of payment was gone. Since I wasnt at home I didnt have access to my checking account now nor a credit card. This is the first time in 14 years that my online account has had this issue and NO my stored card is not expired. My payment is now going to be late and i was going to get a new phone oin the Edge plan too. Am I going to get charged a late fee and does tgis affect my eligibilityafter 14 years of on time payments! And why did you wipe out my stored payment info?

Ratwurkz,
Oh my goodness! That is not what we like to hear. Were you able to log in online not through the My Verizon App? Did it show the card available in there? Is this the same card that you have used for past payments? Let's look a little closer.

GL account that doesn't reset, after finished the post of end Fiscal Year

Iu2019m facing a new problem while trying to perform the process of close fiscal year, the process that I do be the following:
F.01> F.16>F_IT_01>F.16>F.01
After that all the process is done, i analyze the balance sheet, and see that some general ledger account, of profit and loss statement account , doesn't zeroed.
but I removed the flag that allow only automatic post and re-did the process, but the error keeps happening. Could you please help me to fix that error? Has anyone faced a similar situation?

Sutton, I don't know if I made myself clear but the problem we are facing with the system is related to the end Fiscal Year, i need carry forward the final result of some P&L account for following year, but i'm not getting. What I mean is, as i do to carry forward of the final result of a P&L account for following year, once Im working in an American company code placed in Brazil, once i had done process of end Fiscal Year closing?
Holdstock, I already checked, and it is set as P&L...so I dont know if there is any relation between chart of account with chart of account consolidated, but my costumer uses a chart of account for Brazilian branch and one another chart of account consolidaded for matrix, in USA

As being a novice with my Mac Pro computer and Cannon 5D mark 3 camera my issue has arisen while over the last year and half, when down loading into my Photoshop Lightroom 4, my 18,000 photograph were not catalogued correctly, or hardly at all, so now over several months time my photos have apparently been redirected in my libraries and have begun not appearing in their allotted frames next to their number in the library they are in. they also have a small question mark (?) next to the photo space. The frames are blank but indicates that there is a photo there. The majority of photos are blank but about a tenth are seen . i apparently need to retrace where they went but do not know how to get that done . can someone help please?

It would be difficult to tell you where to begin. If you moved photos around to different folders and didn't use Lightroom to move them, that would cause Lightroom to lose track of where they are. You have to remember that your images are not "in" Lightroom. Lightroom simply points to them wherever they are on your computer. All of the location information as well as the changes that you make to your images is stored in the catalog, which is a database. This catalog is central to the operation of Lightroom, and it's essential that you understand how it works and how to make it work for you. For all of those images that have "?" On them, or the folders that have the same, you will have to go through the process of locating them and showing Lightroom where they are located. With 18,000 images, and many of them missing, it might just be easier to start a new catalog and organize things properly from the beginning in that catalog.

Inventory Write Down FIFO

Hi
Our business is in the Fashion Industry and we need to regularly write down the value of our stock. We wish to write down the value of our stock for our year end accounts to 31/12/2014 and then each month using a fixed percentage. We use FIFO as the valuation method for inventory.
One option that I am aware of is manually doing this using the Inventory Revaluation function. This is not viable as we have thousands of products each with multiple layers as we use the FIFO method of valuation. It would take hours to complete and the risk of error would be high.
Another option that I am aware of is using the Data Workbench but our providers have advised us that this is very cumbersome and therefore the risk of error is high too.
So I am looking for a viable solution whereby I can write down our stock value by say 35% for year end 31/12/2014 and then 3% per month after that. The write down at 31/12/2014 should produce the following postings on our TB assuming a pre-adjusted stock level of €1,000,000:
CR Stock (Bal Sheet) €350,000
DR Stock Revaluation (P&L) €350,000
Many thanks in advance for your help
Richard

Hi Robert,
As manual process is not favorable by you so only option left is to build a small add on to fulfill your requirement.
If in case of add on all you need to do is to open inventory revaluation form everyday and depends on logic set, system with list all the item with new price and you just need to click on add button.

Chintan

There are some additional dependencies for this patch that were not
originally communicated. Applying the EOY Phase 1 patch first satisfies
these dependencies. If there is a need to apply this patch prior to
applying EOY Phase 1 we are exploring possible alternative
pre-requisites and will send out a notice late next week with more
information.
* 11i one-off Patch 6399100 released 21-Sep-2007

Hi,
I tried to use the FileAdapter in a BPEL Process to write down and existing structure as String, comming from Database (CLOB), which has a defined structure.
My first problem is, that I assign an output filename through the output message header variable, but it does not work. Instead always the name from the Filename convention is taken (wizard like po_%SEQ%.txt).
My second problem is, that the FileAdapater destroyes the format during the write procedure. E.g.: The String structure is as follows:
MKKOPF EF585773 07.05.2009 1 XXX Spielapparate u. Restaurant- betriebsgmbH 40031356 Brehmstraße 21 1110 Wien 900000585773 EUR ML

MKEINZ EF4428643 28.06.2009 Test Card Casino XXX Gesamtausgabe Textteil Allgemein Großanzeige 4C 1 ST 1 489,00 489,00 GES
MKPOS. EF4428644 26.07.2009PRVB 948,66 / 10 / +5% WA
a.s.o, . So you can see, its quite a simple format, which has to stay like that!
First I tried to use the opaque mode for the fileoutput format, but I was stopped, because of the '/' characters in the source data. So I used the native builder to create a xml schema (I used deliminated file, multiple records, deliminated by white spaces, tabs and spaces). To identify the multiple records, I have chosen the end of line (eol). Except EOF and EOL there is no other choice, like CRLF,\r,\n!
However, testing my native format, result in writting a file with containing a single line with the original data. So the original line breaks are gone, and therefore the system who should process it further gets an parsing error!
The simple question is, how can I simple write down string data (containing German special chars, like Öäü --> ISO8859-1 and also XML reserved values like /) through the file adapter without destroying its structure?
Second, how can I pass dynamically the filename, as using the output header values does not work?
I hope some specialists are out there.
Thanks & BR,
Peter

Hi James,
here what I am doing.
I read some records from the database throught the database adapter. The returned records representing strings, which should be written, line by line separated by 0xA (\n) to a single file.
Also for the file write we use a Oracle SOA Adapter --> the FileAdapter.
We discussed quiet some time about opaque schema and native builder. So on my understanding only the native builder version works. Otherwise I get an error, because of the contained slashes in the string record.
What I am searching for is an easy way for aggregating this database row strings and append it with 0xA (\n).
With XPath functions, like create-deliminated-string(node, '#xA') I had no success. Adhering to XML the signs #xA should represent 0xA, but it does not work.
Also in using the encodeLineTerminators 
 is not working.
So I had really write a long bpel construct, combined with a Java Code Emeeding to do such a simple thing:
Here is the interessting part (hiden the while loop, index handling and final fileadapter write call details):
<while name="While_1"
condition="($VariableSapBillingJobs > 0) and ($VariableIndex <= $VariableSapBillingJobs)">
<sequence name="Sequence_4">
<sequence name="Sequence_4">
<assign name="Assign">
<copy>
<from expression="concat(bpws:getVariableData('VariableBuffer'), bpws:getVariableData('InvokeSapDataSelection_eBillingSapDB4Select_OutputVariable','eBillingSapDB4SelectOutputCollection','/ns8:eBillingSapDB4SelectOutputCollection/ns8:eBillingSapDB4SelectOutput[$VariableIndex]/ns8:LINE'))"/>
<to variable="VariableBuffer"/>
</copy>
</assign>
*<bpelx:exec name="JavaAppendCRLF" language="java"*
version="1.5">
<![CDATA[String buffer = (String)getVariableData("VariableBuffer");
buffer += "\n";
setVariableData("VariableBuffer", buffer);]]>
</bpelx:exec>
<assign name="AggregateStructure">
<copy>
<from expression="$VariableIndex + 1"/>
<to variable="VariableIndex"/>
</copy>
</assign>
</sequence>
</sequence>
</while>
There must be a simpler way like that!
Do you or somebody else a simpler way? Doing it with the FileAdapter native builder, or at least with a XPath function?
Furthermore my next homework is, the inverse operation. I will read a file, this time terminated with 0xD 0xA, and must translate it to XML to use it further in my bpel process.
Also here I have not the idea, where the fileadapter supports me.
Thanks & BR,
Peter

Slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro

I am having a similar slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro, but I don't have bloated prproj file size.
Here is what I am working with:
Mac Pro intel quad core 2.8ghz
OSX 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
6Gigs RAM
3TB storage between 4 drives, each drive with about 50% free space
I am editing a 10 minute HD video from avchd files. The edited video is very heavy in photoshop files with a variety of different fx including green screen. The system has slowed down to almost a standstill. Anytime I move the playcurser, or try to do any action, it displays the spinning top "thinking" icon and takes 15 seconds to several minutes to unfreeze. I am often forced to force quit and I have gotten unexpected quits several times. The program also freezes on startup frequently.
No other programs are running. When I export with media encoder, it took about 4 hours to complete. The last 4 or so photoshop images I added seemed to tip the program over the edge. It had been slowing down some, but those last few really dropped the processing speed. Before those additions, export took 30 min to 1hr.
I did delete the render files (did not check if the file size was bloated beforehand, oops) but it has not significantly affected my performance.

Do you need all of those extra pixels in the stills? Are you panning the full 4976?
Two things to consider are that if you using, say a 1920 x 1080 Sequence Frame Size, you can only see that at any time, regardless of how large the images are in pixels. If there are extra pixels, i.e. the Pan is not using all 4976 pxls., I would Scale to just what you need in PS, prior to Import.
If you are doing any Scale in PrPro, its Scaling algorithms are not as efficient, as those in PS. [Note: CS5 and 5.5 are a major improvement on that statement.]
With many large stills (the max for CS4 is 4096 x 4096, if there ARE extra pixels, pushing those around will use up resources, and quickly. As a test, some years back, I was working on a "photo wall," and was using 4000 x 4000 images. The workstation had no issues with slowness, until I got to the 5th large still. By the 8th, the Project was too slow to edit. I had to wait for everything. Luckily, I have AE, and it handles large stills much more efficiently, and much differently, than PrPro. I just moved to an AE Comp, and completed the Project, finishing up n PrPro, after I Exported from AE.
Just something to think about. With Scaling in PrPro, this is one time, where bigger is not necessarily better.
Good luck,
Hunt

Write Down/Depreciation of Material Valuation Class

Hi,
We are trying to write down/depreciate specific valuation types of materials which are purely for operational purposes ie not strictly project stock. Has anyone gone thru an exercise where they have performed such an exercise, for specific material valuation classes?
Thanks

Hi,
Its more a 'revaluation' exercise for specific material class' stock by adjusting original purchased values of their to current book value. They are not Assets as such (ie ones that come out of AuC and then are depreciated accordingly) but material that is classed for more operational purposes eg drilling. So trying to get thru an exercise whereby we can discover book value of specific material classes (ie not have to go through each material) and how we can achieve this 'adjustment' in SAP .
Thanks

Accounting entries behind good issue

Hi,
I am quite new to SD and i have some questions that I hoped you will certainly answer.
1. In terms of accounting what entries does good issue generate?
2. How do you configure the accounts to be posted for good issue?
3. In case there is no inventory management set up for a company is it useful to set up outbound delivery and good issue in its sales and distribution process.
4. Is it possible to have the client account debited and a provision account credited during goods issue and when invoicing have the provision account debited and sales a/c credited. If yes how do you set up the customising for goods issue.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello,
Please note the following answers to your questions:
1. Cost of Goods Sold A/c Dr. (Will reflect in P & L A/c Debit side)
To Stock A/c Cr. (Will reflect on Assets side of balance sheet)
2. Also suggested by Sai & Vasu above.
3. If there is no Inventory Management in your company, then why do you want to create Delivery & PGI in Sales & Distribution. I have worked for a Project Based Company & we used to create Invoice directly from Sales Order. We had made settings in MM module such that while doing MIGO we would directly issue the goods to Projects. Or if there was stock in hand, that can be issued to Projects by hitting Consumption account.
To sum it up, you dont need Delivery & PGI in Companies where there is no Inventory Management involved.
4. In your suggestion, how would you hit the Cost of Goods Sold Account which is most important in Net profit calculations? Also it is against SAP standard functionality. Let the Customer Account hit only when Invoice is created. What is the business need to hit Customer Account while doing PGI?
Hope this helps..
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta
