Forecast Doubling at Month End

Has anybody run across the anomoly where when a month ends and a new month begins in the same week and the forecast numbers double?
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,
You could try out the following in your quality system to try to find out exactly where you have the issue (if not done already):
1) Delete the forecast for one product (or few products) using /sapapo/md74 for all time periods for which you release the forecast from DP to SNP
2) Modify the variant of the job that you use to release the forecast to include only the product (or products) for which you deleted the forecast above (leave all other selection criteria as they are)
3) Run ONLY the forecast release job. It would now release teh forecast only for your selected products.
Now check the forecast data for the above selected products in SNP planning view:
a) If data has not doubled yet in SNP, that would mean that some SNP macro which runs later in a job must be causing the doubling. Focus on the SNP jobs that run after the release, and try to identify the macro.
b) If the data is having this doubling issue already, then try to come out of the SNP planning book. You would see either of the following behaviour:
b1) If system asks you for a save that means that some default macro has run when you entered the planning view, and it's trying to save the data when you exit the view. You can then focus on the default & entry kind of macros available in your planning view.
OR
b2) If system didn't ask you to save, that means data had already changed during release. Then you could focus on enhancements used in release or possible SAP bugs.
Hope this shoudl help.
Thanks - Pawan

Currency conversion to month end rate

Dear Gurus,
I need to store local currency amount in the cube as group currency amount . The logic of the calculation
local currency amount * month end rate
In other word the local currency amount need to be converted to group currency amount using the month end rate.
Can anyone teach me how to do this
Your help highly appreciated
Thank you
BR

Hi Sarvanan,
You can write a routine to calculate this. But you will need some reference date field, like posting date for this.
In your start routine, get data from table TCURR inside ITAB for monthend forecast rate.
In routine, get corresponding rate by looking local currency and group currency from TCURR internal table. Multiply this rate with local currency amount to get desired result.
Please revert if you need more help on ABAP code to be written.

How to ? - Month end closing

Dear All,
I need to conduct month end closing. My financial periods are defined as months.
What are the steps required to conduct month end closing in B1 ? Is the period closing tool used for this purpose (i am double minded at the moment if it is so...)
Please advice.
CHeers
Gautam

Hi ,
The concept of period end closing is to avoid the confusion and consistency .
Allow me to explain
Once the period is closed ,
1.Users cannot post into the period.
(That means accountant wil know that the number they printed has not been influenced by another user data entry
that will help them to maintain correct data by month )
2.What is the purpose of closing by month
It will give you an idea how organisation is doing by monthly basis .
Lets say if you donot close period , user can enter the transaction in open period.that means you will never be sure and you have to check everyday if somebody post an transaction in earlier period than running period .
I hope that will help

Month end closing - production order status

Hello,
I am requesting the information, can I carry the month end closing and account for only production orders having the TECO system status rather than considering production orders with the DLV status.
Where in SPRO these parameters are being adjusted .
Thanks and Regards
Artur

Hi,
For settlement, the Order Status Should be TECO and/or DLV.
If it is not TECO also, with DLV status syetm will consider the Order for Settlement.
With BS22 (Maintain System Statuses) you can handle the Situation..
Travel to I0045 - TECO- Double Click on that.

Forecast data over year end

Good Morning all,
I am trying to fumble my way through building a calc script to run a forecast for 12 months. The code below seems to be doing what I want it to for 2013 but does not carry over into 2014.
LOOP(12)
FIX(&FcstBaseline:"Dec","Ending","Working","FcstTest")
"130030"(
IF(NOT(@ISMBR(&FcstBaseline)) AND "130030" > 0)
"130030" = @PRIOR("130030")-"Runoff";
"Runoff" = "130030"->&FcstBaseline*(&runoff/12);
ELSEIF (NOT(@ISMBR(&FcstBaseline)))
"130030" = @PRIOR ("130030");
ENDIF;)
ENDFIX
ENDLOOP
Varianbles are the following:
&FcstBaseline = Mar
&runoff = .1238
So my questions is, how could I modify the code so that January 2014 looks back at December 2013 calculates the runoff I need an then finish out the months in 2014?
Searching the internet I found the what I thought was a solution and I modified it to fit in my code. Either I am using it in the wrong way or it wasnt a solution for me.
LOOP(12)
FIX(&FcstYr1:&FcstYr2,"Ending","Working","FcstTest")
"130030"(
IF(@ISMBR("Jan") AND NOT(@ISMBR(&FcstBaseline)) AND "130030" > 0)
"130030" = @PRIOR("130030"->"Dec",1, @LEVMBRS ("Years",0));
ELSEIF (NOT(@ISMBR(&FcstBaseline)) AND "130030" > 0)
"130030" = @PRIOR("130030")-"Runoff";
"Runoff" = "130030"->&FcstBaseline*(&runoff/12);
ELSEIF (NOT(@ISMBR(&FcstBaseline)))
"130030" = @PRIOR ("130030");
ENDIF;)
ENDFIX
ENDLOOP
Varianbles are the following:
&FcstYr1 = FY13
&FcstYr2 = FY14
&FcstBaseline = Mar
&runoff = .1238
I hope I was clear in identifying my issue, any input or direction is greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Bret

Well, I figured out my own problem.
Below is the code I am using as a baseline for the rest of what I need to build. I will check for efficiency later:
LOOP(18)
FIX(&FcstYr1:&FcstYr2,"Ending","Working","FcstTest")
"130030"(
IF(@ISMBR("Jan"))
"130030" = @MDSHIFT ("130030",-1,"Years",,11, "Period",)-"Runoff";
"Runoff" = @MDSHIFT ("130030",-1,"Years", ,&FcstShift,"Period",)*(&runoff/12);
ELSEIF (NOT(@ISMBR("Jan")) AND @ISMBR (&FcstYr2))
"130030" = @PRIOR("130030")-"Runoff";
"Runoff" = "130030"->&FcstBaseline->&FcstYr1*(&runoff/12);
ELSEIF (NOT(@ISMBR(&FcstBaseline)) AND "130030" > 0)
"130030" = @PRIOR("130030")-"Runoff";
"Runoff" = "130030"->&FcstBaseline*(&runoff/12);
ELSEIF (NOT(@ISMBR(&FcstBaseline)))
"130030" = @PRIOR ("130030");
ENDIF;)
ENDFIX
ENDLOOP
If anyone does happen to see anything I could do differently please let me know,
Bret

Doubt in mm, where to transfer gr/ir balance in month ending

In the month end if Gr/Ir Account is showing some balances due to pending of invoice verification. What we will do at this situation. Is there any configuration needed, to deal with the situation.
Thanks in advance.

HI G.Kiran ,
Its a normal process, if it is invoice is penditng then month end GRIR Accounts will have the balance. Need not to do any things. If you want to do manual Calaring for GRIR Clearing Account after inovice being generated then do F.13/F-44.
Regards

GR/IR at the month end

Hello,
What we have to do with GR IR account for clearing at the month end.
Regards
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
GR/IR clearing is the month end activity. To do this first you should maintain gl accounts under open item managment.
the GR/IR Clearing account is used to account for Goods Receipt and Invoice entry for the vendor invoices. The GR/IR clearing account program reclassifies the entries in GR/IR account as either assets or liabilities for reporting purpose. At the period end which goods receipt has been done and for which Invoice has not been recd or goods for which invoice has been done and GR has not been done. During the time between invoice being created and delivered the goods. To accommodate this timing difference a gr/ir clearing account is maintain temporarily to record the flow
hope it will useful and pl assign points
thanks

I can't be the only person who has this problem - when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that

I can't be the only person who has this problem with iCal- when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that.

Yeah that works, but, it involves a click on the event, a click on edit, a click on the date, keystrokes, plus, since you can't see the next month you have to have a calendar in front of you so as to put it to the right date. It's easier just to cut it and advance the month and paste it, once you are in the right month you can move it around helter skelter willy nilly no problems. Although now that you mention it I will try it, maybe it is easier than cut and paste as I don't really care about the date, as long as it gets moved into the right month I can drag it around all I want.

Delivery Block at PGI level based on GI date and Month end date

Business need a check on delivery processing based on the Planned GI date, Month end date and transit period. This transit period is a custom field and dependent on customer. Also it is not maintained anywhere in system. Business store it in some excel format.
The logic needed is: For any given month, the delivery order MUST be goods issued in the same month, i.e. once the order is delivered, the Post goods issue should ONLY be allowed if and only if , the PLANNED GI date ( as maintained in delivery ) + transit time ( at customer level ), falls within the month end date. If not, a block should be applied at PGI and only authorized personnel should be able to release that block.
Also, there will be no check at invoicing VF01 level. Once the PGI blocked is removed, there will be no check on invoicing. The month end date may vary month to month and need to in combination of Sales Org / Plant as mentioned
In addition, the business need an exception report where the information of releasing the block should appear for release date, user id of the responsible person, time sales order no etc. and it should be downloadable.
We can have a custom table to maintain the month end day in given combination.
But I need your expert inputs as-
1-     Can we add this transit period in at customer master data as it is dependent on customer and there are huge no of customers for the sales unit? If not, then how to maintain it; may be a z table?
2-     Based on this logic, what should the code/logic to be written for block at PGI.
3-     How to control the authority check for removing the block.
4-     The source fields for exception report.
Pls revert accordingly.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello,
Please refere the answers to your questions:
1- Can we add this transit period in at customer master data as it is dependent on customer and there are huge no of customers for the sales unit? If not, then how to maintain it; may be a z table?
You can either use some un-used Feild in Customer Master or maintain a Z-Table. I believe maintaining a Z-Table would be easy as you have huge number of Customers. You can also write a dmall program to Pick the Customer-wise transit dates from a excel file & store in Z-Table.
2- Based on this logic, what should the code/logic to be written for block at PGI.
You have explained the requirement well in your thread, you need to explain the same to your ABAPer & Basis person & they would do the needful.
3- How to control the authority check for removing the block.
Basis person would create & assign a Z-Authorization object which the ABAPer would use in his program.
4- The source fields for exception report.
Once you do the above development, your ABAPer will easily pick the required feild in Report as he has already used all the feilds somewhere in his development.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Month end accrual posting date- Last day of the month

Hi Experts,
I have set up month end accruals for PY US by configuring posting dates, LDCD, WageType accrual processing class, Schema changes. I have also set the closing dates as the end of the month.
Now after I do the posting , there are three documents getting generated.
1. Accrual posting document with first day of the current month
2. Normal Payroll posting document with payroll period posting date
3. Accrual reversal document with first day of the following month.
My Question is: As per standard SAP configuration, the month end accrual will have first day of the month. Can we customize this to end of the month for doc#1 - accrual document?
Please do let me know your suggestion and ideas.
Thanks,
Amosha

Hello,
I have a similar question and I hope to have more details on how to change the posting date.
The point is that I have an amount of 1200 and I have to post 100 for each month.
Key Date for Accruals: 31.01.2011
I posted 100 with Document date: 31.01.2011 and Posting date 31.01.2011
Key Date for Accruals: 28.01.2011
I posted 200 with Document date: 28.02.2011 and Posting date 28.02.2011
Also I reversed the amount posted in the previous month (100) with Document date: 31.01.2011 Posting date 28.02.2011
And so on...
The problem are the dates because I need to post the amount at the end of each month (28/02) and to reverse the previous amount at the beginning of the next month (01/02).
How can I change these dates?
Thanks a lot in advance
Kind Regards,
E.

Direct Posting of Sales in FI and month end closing

Dear Experts
I learnt that :
Sales Direct Entries may be posted in FI without posting in SD/MM.
Sales entries must always be posted only through SD process. If this is NOT done (for example freight rate received from third party freight forwarders), then only FI people should know how to reconcile and NOT sd people. Hence I recommend posting your query in FI forum after closing this thread.
Regards,
My question is , during month-end closing how should FI or accounting address the above direct posting issues?
Apparently, such practice is not right.
There is no trace of the sales in SD MM. There is no corresponding billing doc in SD MM but found in FI .
How should this situation be handled as best practice?
I am BI person but found this issue with FI data not reconciled with SD MM.
I am not sure how the month-end closing was done when there is such data. Yes, the problem was found AFTER month was closed and I loaded the data to BI.
best regards
Pascal

Dear Sirs
What is the fastest easiest way to find out which FI direct entries were posted without corresponding Sales / Billing documents created ?
Is there any standard report or reports available in oss?
Currently, our other interfacing systems are having problem with data due to direct entries where there is no corresponding Sales / Billing docs posted. This is causing a lot of time investigating what entries caused the reconciliation problem.
Your help would make my life easier.
Thanks!
Regards
Pascal

ICR Process 003 Month-End Cut-off

We have implemented ICR process 003 in the 5.0 system. It seems that "posting period" relates to the period that the document was posted in ICR not necessarily to the customer account. How can we get a good month-end cut-off when new documents are posted all the time. For instance, when we run FBICS3, FBICA3, and FBICR3 after the new period begins, it will pull in documents created in the new period and all still open before in previous periods.

Hello Staci,
The period and year you enter on the selection screen is combined with the fiscal year variant maintained in your process customizing to derive a key date for open item selection. The open items are then selected in the sender system and stored in the year and period specified on the selection screen in the ICR database. This is also explained in the first message that is displayed in the log of data selection.
Best regards,
Ralph

Asset Under Construction(AUC),During month end settlement run(via KO8G)

Hi Guys ,
please hlep on this AUC :
During month end settlement run (via tcode KO8G), if there are -ve (credit) values to be settled to an Asset Under Construction (AUC) asset which does not have sufficient +ve value in the current FY, the settlement run will prompt an error message "Balance for transaction type group 10 negative for the area 01". The TT posted via the settlement run is TT115. To get around, user has to raise a manual journal (via doc type AT) to post the -ve value to the same AUC asset via TT101. TT 115 and 101 are configured differently (see attached).
Since the Fixed Assets system does accept credit posting to AUC via a journal, is there a solution to make posting go through via the settlement run?
Regards,
Narra

You can settle the AUC value in one period and posting can be made in another period. in the same you can give the different asset value date in KO88 screen. The only limitation is this possible only if the fiscal year is same.
Give the asset value date as 15.07.2007 in KO88
Hope this will work
