Field limitations - import chart of accounts

Hello All!
I have a client that has decided they would like to import their general ledger chart of accounts.  They have decided on a segmented chart of accounts, with the first segment being 8 characters.  In that segment they want to use a '.' in the number.
Example:
6114.000-01-00
Is it possible to import the decimal in the first segment of the account?
Thanks
Kathy

Hello Kathy,
The field is a nVarChar field.  That means any character should be fine.  However, I strongly discourage this practice since it is better to make the segment as short as possible with numeric values whenever you can.
Thanks,
Gordon

  • Import Chart of Account via DTW - field ReconciledAccount doesn't work

    Hi all,
    I'm importing Chart of Accounts (segmented) via DTW.
    I want to set the SAP LocManTran field to YES
    so in the Excel file, I populate the  ReconciledAccount field with tYES
    The importation works fine but the SAP LocManTran field is not ticked after the import
    Someone could help?
    Thanks in advance
    Christian

    Hi Christian,
    ReconciledAccount is the field RealAccount.  There is LockManualTransaction in the template you should set tYES.
    Thanks,

    Use T Code FS15 in the old client/company code and give a file  ex 1234.
    Note the file and path generated from the message.
    Advise your basis team to copy the file in the same path of the required client.
    After copying use t code fs16 and generate the GL accounts through Batch input session.
    All the GL accounts will be copied in your new server.

  • Help Me  : Import Chart of account

    Hi all .
    I prepare file chart of account , type .txt  , I use data transfer workbench to import , so I received a messenge : "Legal parent number Application -defined or object-defined error65171" , please help me .
    Thanks alot .

    You need 5 columns in an Excel spreadsheet as follows:
         1. Code
         2. Type (0, 1, 2) for Other, revenues or expenditure
         3. Currency
         4. Account Name
         5. Parent (level above - title)
    The first row with data is row 2, row 1 is for headings. In VB Macro turn on the DI API by selecting Tools > References > SAP Business One DI API Version 2007 (or 2005).
    In VB Macro the code for non segmented COA for 2007 is as follows:
    Sub Macro1()
    Dim vCmp As SAPbobsCOM.Company
    Dim lRetCode, lErrCode As Long
    Dim sErrMsg As String
    Set vCmp = New SAPbobsCOM.Company
    vCmp.Server = "XXXX"
    vCmp.CompanyDB = "XXXX"
    vCmp.UserName = "manager"
    vCmp.Password = "manager"
    vCmp.DbUserName = "sa"
    vCmp.DbPassword = "xxxx"
    vCmp.DbServerType = dst_MSSQL2005 '(Change if not SQL 2005)
    vCmp.Language = ln_English
    row_no1 = 2
    vCmp.UseTrusted = False
    lRetCode = vCmp.Connect
    If lRetCode <> 0 Then
                vCmp.GetLastError lErrCode, sErrMsg
    End If
    Dim vCOA As SAPbobsCOM.ChartOfAccounts
    Set vCOA = vCmp.GetBusinessObject(oChartOfAccounts)
    Get_COA:

    Return
    End_sub:
    If (0 <> vCOA.Add()) Then
    MsgBox ("Failed to add item")
    End If
    End Sub
    Give me a shout if you don't come right or if your COA is with segments.
    Kind regards

  • Drilldown report FGI0 Account Number and compounding Chart of Accounts

    Dear all,
    I created a drilldown report in FGI0 for FAGLFLEXS (Reporting for Table FAGLFLEXT). I am showing the field Account Number. However the field display is [Chart of accounts][Account number] in the corresponding column, but I want to display only the Account number.
    If I remove the compounding field RKTPL from table TKAFD, then the program cannot find the Account Number Text.
    Is there a way to show only the Account Number, without the Chart of Accounts in its 4 first fields, and also show the account text?
    Thank you in advance!

  • FR102- co.code & chart of accounts are incompatible

    Dear All
    One of Co.Codes is using country chart of accounts .
    While executing Financial Statements report with country chart of accounts, I am getting the error messageu2026FR102- Co.Code & chart of accounts are incompatible.
    I assigned country Chart of accounts in OB62 and OBY6.
    Please provide me the solution....
    Thanks,
    Laxman

    Hi,
    When you run the financial statement report (RFBILA00), you need to specify your COA in the field *Country Specific Chart of
    Accounts* on the selection screen.
    Enter the below:-
    - company code
    - financial statement version
    - reporting year and periods
    - click the checkbox next to 'Alternative account number'
    - do not enter any chart of accounts
    If in the specified 'financial statement version' the alternative chart of accounts with alternative account number is assigned to
    the fin.statement items this procedure should work. Refer the below OSS note 48495:-

  • Add more "Account Types" in chart of account

    Hi,
    would it possible to add more account types to the "Account Type" drop down, and anyone who has an idea on how to do it?
    It would of course be possible to catch the FORM_LOAD event for the form and add additional ValidValues, and in a similar way catch the FORM_CLOSE event and manually save the value to the DB, but this would probably cause problems in other modules using the value..?!
    TIA
    Martin Korsbro

    I don't think it will be possible without breaking the data integrity of SBO.
    The product has processing built in based on the 3 standard values (BoAccountTypes Enumeration), if you were to provide an alternate value it would probably cause exceptions in standard SBO screens and lead to some difficult issues for support.
    It would be better to add a User Defined Field to the Chart of Accounts and specify the list of values you want there.

  • LSMW for Chart of Account: Field XSPEB not filled in batch-input session

    Hi all,
    we are using LSMW for importing the chart of account into a new system.
    The LSMW project uses the report RFBISA00 for the creation of the batch-input session.
    Some accounts need to be blocked in the new system. Therefore, we have the field XSPEB in our source structure and of course also in our target structure. But after the creation of the batch-input session the field is not included in the corresponding batch-input session.
    Does anybody know why it is not set? I already debugged the program RFBISA00 but couldn't find the place where the data get lost.
    Thanks in advance and regards,
    Martin

    Did your batch input end with save ( /11 ) or what ok_code are you using ?

  • Manual/Autometic creation of cost elements in chart of accounts field

    Dear Friends,
    While creation of Chart of accounts (OB13) under  Controlling Integratiion tab
    thers is two options are there.
    1 manual creation of cost elements
    2 autometic creation of cost elements.
    While creation of cost elements if we select
    (MANUAL CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS) what will happen???
    (AUTOMETIC CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS) what will happen?
    What is the main difference between about two fields?
    Thanks in advance,
       Mallika

    Hi,
    MANUAL CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS -  Cost elements maintained manually. A push button is available for
    this purpose, with which you can go directly to the related cost
    element.
    AUTOMETIC CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS - Cost elements maintained automatically. When you save a new G/L
    account, the related cost element is automatically created. A prerequisite is that a default value for the cost element category
    has been set up for this cost element. If no default value is found, the system will not create a cost element.
    You can make default settings via :
    Cost Element accounting --> master data --> cost element --> automatic creation of primary and secondaru cost element --> make default settings
