G/L Account Determination - Variance - Expense and Stock Account

Hi All,
Under G/L Account Determination -> Purchasing tab -> General tab the last account is called "Expense and Stock Account", in some versions the same is called "Variance Account - Expense and Stock Account". In the help file and on the SAP Portal it is explained to be used as:
"Define a variance G/L account for clearing journal entries created by A/P credit memos that were based on A/P invoices or created by goods return that were based on goods receipt POs, in which the freight charges or the price were changed."
I'm trying to test this but recreating the scenarios described above the account will not be used. Can anyone help me what am I missing?
Thanks and regards,
Nat

Hi ShriX,
I understand but my problem is when I'm testing these scenarios, in my test system the account is not used at all. For example I have an AP Invoice and when I turn it to an AP Credit Memo I change the price of the item. I would expect a posting to this account as it is specified in the help file, but in my case it doesn't happen. Do you know why?
Thanks and regards,
Nat

  • MB5L Report Discrepacy for Material and Stock Account Currency

    I have found in the MB Report Discrepancy for Material and Stock Account Currency. Why is this happening? Why is there a variance between total price in materials and stock account? Anyone please help me. I'm abaper but now been pushed to do logistic. I need help for this issue.

    Hi,
    Here's some information from help. Variances can occur for the following reasons:
    You have entered postings to the stock account manually.
    The stock account includes not only stock postings, but also other postings. In this case, you should check the account determination in the Customizing for Valuation and Account Assignment. Make sure that the stock accounts are used solely for the transaction key BSX (stock postings).
    Check Account Determination - OMWB
    The account assignment for the stock accounts (transaction key BSX) was changed during productive operation; the respective stocks, however, were not deducted from the old account (movement type 562) and posted to the new one (movement type 561).
    Cheers !

  • Account determined for entry (chart of accounts no) WRX 0003 not possible

    HI, I'm trying to GR a PO for a material using movement type 101 and am getting the following error
    "Account determined for entry (chart of accounts no) WRX 0003 not possible"
    I know that I need to go to OBYC to make an entry for transaction WRX for valuation group code 0003 and valuation class and then assign it to the relevant gl. 
    My problem is I don't know what the valuation class should be.  In the PO there is short text entered for the item rather than a material number so I cannot go to the material master to check what valuation class is assigned.  Is it linked anywhere to the material group?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    yes u can do
    fist
    u can make the entry and blank valuation class and give the gl account in wrx
    so that it will take this GL account for blank materia number
    or
    u cna give valuation class to material group

  • Account Determination with Sales Order Stock

    Hi, Guys
    Does anybody know how (and WHY) SAP makes (or doesn't make) account determination of material movements from or to Sales Order Stock???
    I have found that, for example, an Accounting Document is generated when transferring to or from Customer Stock (411E and 413 mvt) and that no Accounting Document is generated when processing GI from Customer Stock (601E mvt) or GR against Production Order (101E to Customer Stock)....
    There are also NO Accounting Documents when inventory differences occur (701E or 702E)...
    It's pretty strange I think....Sure there is some logic  put into the process of managing Sales Order Stock but I don't get it...
    Of course, reward points are guaranteed for helpful answers!

    Automatic Accounet determination is done in MM. In this for some of the movement types there is no need to enter the G/L account every time.
    All are customized in  Automatic Account determination.(AAA)
    Go to SE16 enter the Table name T156 and press F4 you can see the movement types where G/L account are customized in  (AAA)
    you can check the movement types

    Hi,
    1)In MB5L sales order stock not valuated,
    Check it for Finished goods with special stock.
    Don't give Valuation class.
    2)You can analyse the material with respect to Valuation class in Mc.1,Mc.9 and with G/L account.

  • Account determination - exchange rate and valuation

    Hello All,
    we have a problem concerning our account determination for differences in exchange rate and valuation. When clearing open vendor items in foreign currency, a percentage of the difference goes to our exchange rate difference account (correct), but the other part of our difference goes to the account we have configured for valuation (incorrect).
    Before, we had, in "Account Determination for OI Exch.rate differences" (transaction FBKP) , the following configuration for all our accounts in foreign currency:
    Exchange rate difference realized:
    Loss: 66800000
    Gain: 76800000
    Valuation
    Val Loss: 66800100
    Val Gain: 13600000
    Bal sheet adj: 40099999
    Now, we have the same accounts,except for "Bal sheet adj", for which we have 5 different accounts depending on the account to be valued. This change shouldn't have any effect, but since then, every time we clear an open item (KR and KZ), one part of the difference goes to an exchange rate difference account, while another part goes to valuation, when this last account should only be used when running F.05.
    Any help?
    thanks
    Daniel

    Asha,
    Revaluation is a 2 step process - In the first step, the documents entered in FC are converted into LC and then in the second step all the LC is converted into GC using the GAAP/Quarterly Rate.
    During the first step, the difference is posted to a P/L Account and during the second step, the difference is posted to a B/S Account.
    Coming to the open item clearing getting posted to the same accont defined in the step 1 - I would ask how are you doing the open item clearing ?
    If it's manual through F-44, then i would say the accounts you are mentioning during clearing are wrong.
    If it's through Payment Run, You would have to go FBZP -> Bank Selection and then check the g/l accounts mentioned over there.
    Hope it helps..
    Thanks,

  • Account Determination for Sales Order Stock

    hi all,
    Iam facing problem while doing MIGO against production order in a make to order scenario. The whole scenario is -
    sales order is made with reference to which a production order is created.
    The material carries standard cost for valuation.
    The material also has a BOM. Consumption entries are passed at the time of confirmation during various stages of production.
    When the FG is inwarded through MIGO transaction the system is not passing accounting entry debiting FG inventory.
    Please help!!
    regards

    Set up a movement type that points to a Transaction/event key for account determination  that is then assigned to the GL account you want it to go to. Go to FBKP and select material management to make automatic account assignments.
    pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.

  • Okay, there are two accounts on one computer, and my account is the main one though ever since, I've been having issues with downloading new songs and apps onto my iPod touch. Not only that but now all of my music's gone from my library. How can I fix it?

    Has anyone ever had this problem before? I would love some advice on how to restore my library with all my music. I have 841 songs on my iPod touch and yet my iTunes library on my account says I have none, ever since my sister made her account on my laptop and some of her songs have gotten on mine (the main) account. Not only that but my iTouch doesn't seem to want to accept any other songs outside of its list. Any advice?

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • Balance Sheet Account saved as Profit and Loss Account now wants to rectify

    Dear All,
    Balance Sheet account wrongly created as profit and loss account, and it contains some entries in previous year and current year as well.
    Now we want to rectify that error i.e. we would like to change the profit and loss account as balance sheet account (which is to be as Balance Sheet A/c.).
    There is a program which is exclusively available for the same which converts profit and loss account to balance sheet account.  If you know pl. let me know.
    Waiting for your early response and thanks in advance.

    Hi ,
    earliar also i have given same quation replay, possiblity is there for change GL account type.
    When you tray to can change to Balance sheet account from FS00 screen u can get following error message
    "Cannot change control of Profit and lossaccount (primary cost elements exist)
    "The data contains error, you cannot save"
    and if u open that message u can get the following message no.
    "The data contains error, you cannot save
    Message no. FH511"
    it can not be save. so u comeback from fs00 screen
    go to OBA5 and give the application are FH and enter, after that select new entries, select the drop down button select your message 511, in online column select W for warning and save.
    then u can get the change.
    please ensure that if you have not completed the year ending closing procedure the above shoul do..
    but your case last year also some entries thre in that particular GL account, so u can not do the above method.
    You cannot change the account type.
    you need to block that gl account and crete a new GL
    pass journals entries to transfer from old p&l gl account to new b/s account
    please try it and come back me
    assign points if it is useful,
    If u find the solution close the issue and assign points.

  • Webmail with .mac account synching other HTTP and IMAP accounts

    Sorry this may have been answered numerous times but i havent been able to find an answer. I am thinking for signing up for a .mac account. I prefer to keep all my email on server and not on my macbook. Can I somehow synch a hotmail account and another webmail account from charter.net so that they go through the web based macmail? (i want to just check one email account but have had both other accounts forever and dont want to delete them)
    thanks

    FYI- You are posting in the OS X Server section of the Apple forums...
    Look at your other accounts and see if you can forward mail from them to another address (your new .mac account).
    Then use just .mac mail

  • Account Determination - Receive into Negative Stock

    We are using SAP IS-Retail.
    I want to change the account used for the MAC differences between existing MAC abd new PO unit price when receiving into a negative stock.
    For eg. I have stock as -2 (because I have sold 2 before I received). I got stock of 10. The difference of $250.44 between existing MAC and new PO was posted to one account 490000 but I want that to go to another account 500000.

    Hi,
    if you want to know which accounts are picked up by the system then please go to transaction code OMWB.
    choose the option of simulation. there give the plant and material and choose the movement type. then goto account details there you will find the all details.
