G/L Account for Bank Clearing Account

Hi:
Quick question: when we post TBB1, Treasury creates payment requests (table PAYRQ) with entries in field BKHBK, data element PRQ_BKHBK. This field is normally empty and F111 should pickup corresponding GL account from T042Y (FBZP: Bank Determination). But in our case, because Treasury passes this account during TBB1, it's being picked up and conflicting with T042Y.
So my question is: how do I deactivate Treasury to not pass this account to payment request? Or how do I change it's value within treasury so it would match with Bank Determination value?
This field in PAYRQ is called G/L Account for Bank Clearing Account.
Thanks,
JS

Yes, it does not post to GL but it does identify Bank Clearing GL account when it's posted which is recorded at BKHBK field of PAYRQ. F111 gets 'confused' and throws error message when this value does not match with corresponding entry in T042Y. How to deactivate it?
Other way of solving this problem would be if I can identify separate Gl account for incoming and outgoing payments bank clearing account. I know it's defined in Account Determination (table TRACV_ACCSYMBREP). It's Account Symbol 3 (Bank Clearing). There we have masked GL account as "++++3". This account is used for clearing of incoming payments. And for outgoing payments we use "++++5"
Thanks,
JS

New functionality in ECC 6.0 for auto clearing of bank clearing account.

Is there any new functionality in ECC 6.0 for auto clearing of bank clearing account.

Hi,
There no new functionality in ECC 6.0 for auto clearing of bank clearing account. Still you need to depend on Manual / Electronic bank statement to clear them.

Problem when change bank clearing account for payment posting.

We recently changed the bank clearing account for payment posting (program PC00_M99_PPM). But I found out because the config can only be changed but not delimited on payroll side, the program errored out when it retro back for an employee to the old clearing account. So what am I supposed to do to fix this problem?
Have anyone ever handled this problem before and could please throw some light on it?
Thanks in advance.

hi
check following
1. Check in OMWD, whether Valuation grouping code "0001" ia ssigned to Ur plant
2. OBYC - If you have assigned GR/IR Clearing A/c to WRX then check whether you have maintained it with combination of valuation class and GL A/c
If yes then maintain only GL A/c w/o valuation class OR maintain one entry with valuation class empty and GL A/c
check following

Error -Account 'Down-payments clearing account' could not be found for area

When I am trying to pass a down payment entry by debiting vedor and crediting bank with asset it is giving an error as follows.
Account 'Down-payments clearing account' could not be found for area 01
Message no. AU133
Please help me to rectify the same.
Thanks in advance
Deepak

HI
Please pay attention at the possible causes of message AU133:
1. Error AU133:
   a) You have not defined a contra account for acquisition value postings in the Asset Accounting Customizing settings (Transaction AO90).However, this is required as of Release 4.6C because, as is the case for all other integration postings in Asset Accounting, invoice receipt postings have to be displayed in Asset Accounting via the new posting kernel to ensure an identical document
structure.
   b) You have defined the account in Asset Accounting, however, it is not created in the affected company code.Check whether the account is correct and create it for the company code, if necessary.
2. You have entered an asset reconciliation account for the "Contra account: Acquisition value posting" (for example, the same account as for   "Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs" account).This is not permitted.Check whether your account determination is correct
   (Transaction AO90) in Asset Accounting Customizing. The same applies
   for the 'Contra account: Down payment posting'.
3. As "Contra account: Acquisition value posting" you entered an asset G/L account. If necessary change the automatic posting indicator in the G/L account master record.
4.Check if you need revaluation accounts in depreciation areas involved   (AO90):
-Revaluation acquis. and production costs
-Offsetting account: Revaluation APC
Please run also programm RACKONTO where missing or wrong customizing
the accoutn determinations per company code is displayed
Also have a look at note 7595 in this regard.
Please assign points if it useful.

Bank Clearing Account - Open Item Clearing

Dear Friends,
We have maintained the configuration for importing the electronic bank statement and we have tested and found that the entries are getting posted in the Bank Clearing Account. However, we have encountered a major issue, when we perform the automatic payment run, the value date gets updated in the Assignment Feild, whereas the users want this to be updated with the combination of "Document No. + Value Date".
Secondly, when we import the bank statement, in the multicash format, the posted entries in the Bank Clearing Account have the "Document Header Text" field updated in the Assignment Field coloumn, thus making it difficult to do automatic clearing of open items. In these entries also it is desired that the combination of Document No. relating to the item paid thru payment run plus the Value Date should get update so that the open items in debit and credit can be matched and cleared off automatically.
Your help would be highly appreciated in achiveing these objectives.
Regards

Thanks Murali. Another help needed is how can we change the values in Assignment Feild, which is now getting picked up from the Document Header Text? We need the original Docuemnt No. + Value Date to get populated in the Assignemnt Field in the entries posted while importing the electronic bank statement.
Would appreciate your help.
Regards

"Open Item Managed" for Bank GL accounts

I am trying to tell my users that they should set the bank GL accounts (not the bank clearing account) as "open item managed". Our users have been clearing the bank accounts down to make it exactly the same as the bank statement. All the SAP Helps and manuals suggest that bank accounts shouldn't be open item managed. But what is the implication? Is there any auidt issue?
Thanks

Hi
The main Bank Account is the GL Account that is used for all the accounting transaction by default including the payment transactions. Bank Sub Account is used as a clearing account for payment transaction to track the payments that are not yet cleared by the bank. It would not make sense to make the main Bank account Open Item managed from accounting perspective. This account will come into picture when actual clearing happens and gets confirmed from the Bank.
It may not be an Audit related perspective.

Can we directly debit into bank a/c without bank clearing account?

Hi expert,
Can we directly debit into bank a/c without go through the bank clearing account?
What is the effect bring to if ignore bank clearing account?
This is because want to reduce more step in deposit the cheque. Is that any body can help? Thank..
From :
Eric Tan

You can directly debit into the bank account. At the Payment Means, in the Checks tab you have the field for the G/L Account. By default you have the clearing acc., but you can change it to the one for the Bank Account.
If you deposit each check individually into the Bank Acc., but in practice you have a Deposit with several checks, once you have the Bank Statement you will have to match each Deposit with several deposits in B1. A little annoying.

Default Profit Center to Bank Clearing Account

Hi All,
Currently, our company is one company code to one bank account and one bank account use by different profit centers ( Bussines Units) . Our reporting ( Balance Sheet / Profit & Loss ) is by Profit Center Level.
1. Default Profit Center to Bank Clearing Account.
- we cannot create cashflow report by profit center, because bank clearing account is default by profit center.
2. Not default Profit Center to Bank Clearing Account
- We got Profit Center 9999 / P9999 issues on Bank Clearing Account.
Should we default Profit Center on Bank Clearing Account ?
Thank You
Alex Lee

Hi Alex,
If you are using 4.7 or ECC 5.0 then you needs to maintain Default profit Center for Balance Sheet G/Lu2019s through T. code 3KEH and 3KEI, else if you are working with ECC 6.0 then you need to maintain default profit center for Balance Sheet G/Lu2019s through T. code FAGL3KEH and for Profit and loss related G/Lu2019s / Cost elements profit centers derivation rule can be maintained through T. code OKB9 accordingly.

Impact of not having bank clearing account?

My client doesn't want to use bank clearing account and wants to directly cr or dr the main bank account whenever a payment is received or made. Could you guys tell me what will be the impact of this, as I see reconciliation might be an issue.

Avinya,
The best solution is to seperate the AP and AR process. The reason i am mentioning this is for better reconciliation process.
According to that, you would have an account 1 for AR i.e deposits(including Wire Ins) and then accounts 2(Wire Outs) and 3 for Check outs.
It's better ( recommended) to have a clearing acct while making payments, so that you have an idea of how much is the outstanding balance. If not, the whole of reconciliation process gets a little complicated - The outstanding balance can still be found out, but as i said, lot of calculations need to be done.
Hope that helps..
Thanks,
Nandita

Auto posting of bank clearing account in FF67

Hi,
I am trying to complete the manual bank statement however during posting of differenty transaction type it does not post to desired bank clearing account.
Where does this bank clearing account set-up for automatic determination when a certain house bank and transaction type is used.
Hope anyone will reply.
Thanks.
Marivic

actually the main bank account was entered in the house bank. The following were defined also such as:
1. transaction type with posting rule assignment
2. Posting key and posting rule
However during the transaction of FF67 the bank clearing account is not the one derived during posting.
So where is the lacking configuration that I need to do.
Hope a reply.
Thanks.

Which Bank Clearing Account should be assigned to account symbol

Hi Friends,
I have 2 bank clearing accounts , CHECKS OUT ( 113005) AND CHECKS IN (113006) .
For the GL account assignment to account symbol, which bank clearing account should be used. I ask because only one bank clearing account GL can be assigned to the account symbol 3. Dont i have to use different GL for BUY & SELL spot transactions.
Thanks
kamala

Hi Kamala,
You have to assign your both clearing account 113005 and 113006 to account symbol.
In this case you can use more than one account symbol with posting catagory "bank posting in payment currency". So, you must create new account symbol with with posting catagory "bank posting in payment currency" example 3-Out for check out clearing.
After that you can assign this new account symbol to suitable posting spec. (or you can crete new posting spec which assigned to suitable update type).

Suryadi.

Bank clearing account -Automatic clearance

Dear Friends,
I had set up bank clearing account as open item management and as part of bank reconsilation procoess am clearing the my bank sub account with the assumption that my payment have been processed by bank and my bank account have been deducted.
While processing my sub account with transaction f.13,am getting an error message "No G/L account documents selected".
Could someone advice why am getting this error.
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ram

Hi,
Settings for Manual BRS also same like EBS.. only thing here we will give our own business transactions..
All bank GL Accounts should have masking logic.. eg: 230101 is for main bank 230201 is for Incoming Check 230301 is for Outgoing check .. this is only for one bank like that we have to define for others as well.
In the House bank we will tag Main bank account.
Go to IMG --> FI --> Bank Accounting -->Payment Transactions --> Manual Bank Statement - Create and Assign Business Transactions
Here we have to define business transactions like...
Transaction types eg: Z001 - Outgoing cheques -ve indicator Posting rule z001 - enter text
Got to second node: Define Posting Keys and Posting Rules for Manual Bank Statement
Here we have to define all 4 steps
Above masking logic will helpful here
1. create account symbols eg:ZOutgoing checks ... and Main Bank
2. Assign accounts to account symbols (Here we have to assign all bank accounts to account symbols)
Acc.Mod: Put + Currency+ If the GL Lenght is 6 .. We have to enter GL Account like this --> XXXX2303XX so up to 99 gl accounts we can masking rule...
3.Create posting rule eg:z001 outgoing checks
4. Define posting rules ... Under debit .. postinkg key blank, account symbol Z001 Credit : Posting key 50 account symbol:Main and document type ZP and posting Type 4
Through above steps we have to follow for other transactions...
Thanks,
Padmaja

Bank Clearing Accounts

Can someone please tell me which account group do the clearing accounts for bank in sap fall under.
(For eg, from one bank account you do payroll and ap checks)
Another question, do we need clearing accounts for wires, ach or only we need to have clearing accounts for checks? Please confirm.
Third question, if there are no checks, wires or ach from a bank then do we need to maintain the clearing account. If not then what do we put in the in the bank determination for sub accounts. Or is it that we dont need to have anything set up bank determination?
Looking to get the answers for all three

Hello Lakshmi,
1. Accountgroup clearing accounts bank
Recommendable is Accountgroup CASH, but you can even choose i. e. BS for Balance sheet. Normally the accounting department decides which accountgroup is relevant.
Very Important: activate open item management and line item display.
2. Different clearing accounts
I recommend min. one account for outgoing cheques and one for outgoing wires/banktransfers. Depending on the way you post incoming payments you need one account for incoming cheques and another for banktransfers/wires/direct debits.
Cheques should always be managed with a separate subaccount, just to enable a clear presentation of the chequeregister. Other electronical payments can be posted to another account.
3. outgoing automatical payments
If automatical payments are not used (cheques, wires, ach....) you don't need subaccounts.
If you use automatical payments: never allocate the GL-Bankaccount directly in the accountdetermination of the paymentprogram because the accountancy can not post the bankstatement correctly. Always use subaccounts in the customizing of the paymentprogram.
Hope this makes the banksubaccounts a littler clearer for you.
Best regards
Horst
