FI CA ( Contract accounts payable)

I don't know whether this is the right forum for asking this question:
When I am trying to create a contract account in FI CA I get the following error message
Account holder relationship is not uniquely defined
Account holder relationship is not uniquely defined
Message no. >3579
Diagnosis
Just one account-partner relationship must be flagged as the account holder relationship.
Procedure
Select the contract partner for the account that is to be the account holder, and mark the account-partner relationship as the account holder. Choose all other partners for the account and assign another account-partner relationship for these.
Appreciate help in resolving the above issue.
Regards

Hello kamal Hassan (nice Name )
That is because you dont have the account holder relationship maintained in the SPRO. please use the following path
SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable ->Basic Functions ->Contract Accounts ->Contract Account Relationships
there is a check box field AH for the relationship you are using, make sure you check it. Let me know, if you still experience the issue
Thanks and Have a Great Day,

Possibility of AP and contracts accounts payable payments running parallel

Hi Gurus,
My client already has a SAP system and they are planning to implement FICA for contract accounting. Is it possible to have contracts accounts payable and accounts payable systems running in parallel for the payments. Please let me know the solution soon.
Thanks
Santosh

1. Take List of all applied Invoices of the Payment
2. Check the status of those invoices. Each one of them should be in status 'Accounted'
3. If not,Identify the problem with the Invoice and Clear that. The problem may be Invoice adjustment(adj to Paid invoices allowed).
4. Try running Create Accounting again.
5. If the problem persists still, it conveys us that the Transactions were struck in loop and can be resolved only by using UPDATE command.
6. Contact Oracle for Data fix

Contract Account Receivables/Payables

Hi,
While posting the receivable for a day (T Code FP25 / FP50), multiple receipts/payments can be posted with one reconciliation key. When the data is getting posted to GL, it is getting posted as summary entry per Reconciliation Key. If I activate the line item while performing the transaction FP25 to FP50, system doesn't post the same. Can anybody will guide in this case?

These are the transactions used in Student Accounting in the Campus Management component implemented with Contract Accounts Receivable / Payables.This is a add on package in the version 4.70
FP25 - Contract Account Receivables
FP50 - Contract Account Payables

Is it mandetory to specify company codes to post in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable in SAP FS-CD.

Yes . It is mandatory to extend company code chart of accounts to CA/CR and FSCD.

Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable

Hello,
Could any one provide me more information about Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.
Is it possible to use Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable without CRM (Customer Relationship management)?
Is it necessary integration with another modul (SD for example)?
Is this functionallity suitable for our case: a company that lets (rents) land (terrains); The company (our client) have several customers (about 10) and needs information abour rent contracts (lease contracts) in SAP.
We need the simplest decision
Thanks

Hi,
As a result of the high number of customers and invoices, utilities companies must create a large number of payment demands. To prevent you from having to enter this mass data in general ledger accounting, sub-ledger accounting has been integrated into FI-CA: Accounts receivable and payable. Contract accounts receivable and payable is specially designed to process mass data. At certain intervals, the system transfers the cumulated individual bookings to the general ledger in Financial Accounting (FI). You can also transfer sales or service invoices from the Sales and Distribution (SD) component to contract accounts receivable and payable. The goal of contract accounts receivable and payable is to automate all processes. Manual intervention is only necessary if an agentu2019s decision is required.
It is different from costing topics.
Hope this helps.

Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable is not installed in the system

Hi ,
while i am executing EC sales list report i am getting the error as "Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable is not installed in the system".
could you please explain me what is contract accounts receivable and payable means and how to install it in the system.
Thank you.
Best regards,

Typically this is installed with an Industry Solution, such as Utilities or Schools, were you have thousands of customers/accounts.
Most places probably just use the standard AP/AR functionality.

InfoProvider: Contract x Accounts Payable (FI-AP)

Hello
I need to provide a solution in BW to view all payments (Accounts Payable entries) associated with a particular contract, and other fields.
I have enabled the content of Accounts Payable (FIAP)
There is some InfoProvider in BW for information on contracts? like to t-code ME53N ?
Thanks
Bruno

Hi Bruno
You need to check the Info provider that you have activated for the following :
- Check the datasource to which it is associated.
- Check the transformation rules and see how are the mappings done. Specially look for the technical field in the datasource that represents 'Contracts' and the info object to which it is mapped.
- If you do not find such a field either in the data source or in the Info cube then find out from which table you need to populate the field or is it that the field is already available in the data source (in the source system) but is it hidden ?
- If it is hidden - unhide it - check data in RSa3.
- If it is not availabl in the data source, add the z-field in the datasource - check the corresponding tables from where you will populate this fileld (speak to the functional consultants for this )
- Populate the field - through ABAP routine.
- In BW, create a corresponding Info object (as I don't know the field spec. I am recommending this !!) . The info object spec should be similar to the field that you have added in the data source (or you have unhidden)
- Replicate data source.
- Add the transformations rules
- Extract data using info package and DTP.

Contract Accounts (Receivable/Payable)

Guys,
what is the big advantage of using the contract accounts module over the classic accounts receivable and accounts payable module?
Kind regards,
Rudolf

Hello,
SAP Financial Accounting (FI) delivers the standard Accounts Receivable (FIAR) module to track accounts receivable transactions. This module is tightly integrated with the Sales and Distribution (SD) module to enter and process customer master data, shipping, billing, and receivables.
As requirements became more complex and the data volume increased substantially over the last couple of years, SAP developed a module in FI for tracking A/R data. This application component is known as Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA). SAP promotes FICA as a subledger application alternative for the FI-AR module and Accounts Payables module (FI-AP).
FI-CA was developed to deal with a large number of different customers and different types of receivables. FI-CA is mainly used in industry-specific SAP components,
which by nature have many customers and many different receivable types. Examples industries are the public
sector, utilities, insurance, and telecommunications.
Even if you do not fall into one of these industry groups, you can still use contract accounting. The industry solutions for FI-CA have been available since
1999. An industry-neutral version was introduced in 2002.
FI-CA is not only tightly integrated with the core SAP components like FI,Controlling (CO), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and SD, it also has
the capability to deal with customers and payments over the Internet by using SAP Biller Direct, which allows your company to use electronic bill presentment and
payment (EBPP).
One of the weak points of FI-CA is its limited reporting functionality. SAP expects that customers who use the FI-CA module also have Business Information Warehouse (BW) installed. The FIAR module has better and more standard reports available and it will take considerable time and effort to develop these reports in FI-CA without using BW. SAP has recognized these shortcomings and promised improved reporting capabilities in future releases.
FI-CA incorporates more A/R functions than just processing invoices and payments and maintaining master data. These functions are necessary if you deal with a large customer base and a high volume of invoices and payments. This is the case with a utility, insurance, or
telecommunications company or in the public sector. My description of FI-CA functionality can be a starting point for your decision process. If you determine that the described functions are necessary for your business, than FI-CA could be a valuable alternative to the standard FI-AR component.

FICA CONTRACT ACCOUNT RECEIVABLEAND PAYABLE

Hello Everyone,
I need to make configuration for witholding tax in FICA at the time of invoicing.
I have made basic configuration of witholding tax in spro and in contract account but while i am doing manual posting in fpe1,it is not picking tds configuration.
Can anyone please suggest me
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Jude,
As i understand from your problem that you have activated a BFS(business function set) only for FICA and now you want to change it as you will be needing other modules like billing and device management etc.
In that case ,at the start of the implementation we need to select tht BFS which corresponds to your industry solution and moreover you can activate one BFS for each instance.Now answering your questions one by one:
1) You can change the activation from FICA to Utilities which is known as BFS Utilities and consists of BF ISU_UTIL_WASTE and BFS ISU_FM.They contain all the modules i.e FICA,Billing,Device management etc .which you want to use.But for this you need to deactivate the previous BFS which you have activated.
2) The impact will be that your previous settings will be erased and you need to start from fresh.
3) If you use utilities ,Move -in ,Move -out is mandatory because a bill will not be generated unless a move -in is done i.e unless a contract is created and an installation is done.
Hope it helps..Pls award pts if it does.
Regards,
Richa

Contract account not found and replicated to ISU

Hi Experts,
Our users created s3 contract account in the Production system. But upon searching for 2 of them
they are not able to find these two contract accounts in CRM as well on ISU side.I have also checked the queues and Bdocs if any one of them got failed but I am not able to find those as well.
Can any one guide what can be done to find them and replicate the same to ISU.
Regards,
Manish

Hi Haresh,
Check with middleware settings there must be something left out like in T.Code SMOEAC (Check Publication and Subscription) Business Agreement should be there..
Check T.Code: CRM_BUT_CALL_FUN
Depending on the business agreement class, the contract account templates are stored in SAP ERP
in table TFK_BUAG_REF.
You can find this table in Customizing for
Financial Accounting under Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable-> Integration->Customer Relationship Management-> Business Agreement ->Determine Template for Contract Account for Replication
Use FI-CA event 1023 to determine whether the busines agreement should be selected as a standard business agreement when it is downloaded. You can check the contract accounts of the business partner and decide whether you want to select the checkbox.
Also check FI-CA event 1022 (see tables TFKFBM,TFKFBS, and TFKFBC in SAP ERP).
Let me know if your issue is resolved

Error while creation of Collective contract account

HI experts,
While creating Collective contract account thru CAA1,i am getting Error as "is collective invoice acct category but collective invoices not active" though i have defined no ranges & have done necessary config. Pls help me in this regard thru ur valuable experience.
Regards,

Hi Raman,
That should be error >3573.
Set field 'Collective Bills' (XUSSR) in table TFK000C and that should workout for you. Through SM30 or
Customizing -> Fin Acctg -> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Basic Functions -> Posting and Documents -> Basic Settings -> Maintain Central settings for posting.
Best regards,

Creation of Invoice for Accounts Payables - RERAIV

Hi Gurus,
I would like to create invoices (or in this case credit memos) to accounts payables with transaction RERAIV.
Is this possible. Can I influance this via an enhancment?
thx in advance,
br, Christian

Hi,
yes the contract type is 0-External Contract.
I have now analysed the programm in detail. I seems that it will be not possible to create invoices to vendors without a modifikation.
In the class "CL_RECN_CONTRACT" there is a check with method IS_DEBIT, which forbits the creation.
WIth some modifcations it is no possible to create invoices to vendors from planed positions, not from posted.
I will inform you about my solution.
