GL Account for Spl GL Indicator 'A'

Hi,
The users are trying to enter the downpayment in a Vendor's Account using the Spl GL Indicator 'A'. However, the system gives the error message -
"No special GL Account defined for acct type K sp. G/L Ind. A recon acct 486000".
To resolve the issue, the message displayed says - In system configuration enter a special GL account corresponding to reconciliation account 486000 for account type K and special G/L Indicator A.
How to maintain the GL account for Spl GL Indicator A and thru which T Code?
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Rajjul,
Creation of special GL account is similar to creation of normal GL account (Tcode FS00). The special GL transaction is configured using tr. code OBYR (Vendor) & OBXR (Customer).
Ex: if you want to do a special GL transaction for posting downpayment, you have to create a GL account by name 'Downpayment a/c.'. This is the special GL account. Now you have to go to OBYR and select the indicators K and A and click to go inside and first give your normal reconciliation account (vendors) and then the GL account number of the newly created 'downpayment a/c.' Once you save it, you can do the special GL transaction of Downpayment posting using the indicator 'A'. like wise you can create 'N' no. of gl indicators
Thanks

:Due On" date field missing while posting with Spl GL indicator for vendor

Hello,
I am facing a problen while posting a n entry with spl GL indicator in fb01, the issue is Due On date field is missing in the screen.
I am posting an spl GL transaction for a vendor thro FB01 and after entering the posting key 39, vendor code and spl Gl indicator in line item and in next screen, the "Due ON" date field is not appearing.
Both vendor recon account and spl GL alternative account use same field status group and checked the field status group , the due date, payments terms are made optional.
The strange thing is, when I use the same vendor with Spl GL indicator "A" , the Due ON field is missing in next screen, and when I use spl indicator " B" , for same vendor, Due On date field is appearing.
Is there any specfic field status setting for DUE ON date field for Spl GL indicator wise? or please help me how to bring due on date field in the screen when posting spl GL transaction?
Please help me on this.
Regards
Surya

Hello Surya,
To make field baseline date for payment (BSEG-ZFBDT) ready for input for
posting the down payment, the following Customizing setting is
necessary:
Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ->
Business Transactions -> Outgoing Payments -> Automatic Outgoing Payment
-> Payment Method/Bank Selection -> Configure payment program -> All
company codes -> double-click on corresponding company code -> under
Customer -> 'Sp. G/L transactions to be paid' the letter A should be
entered.
The field "Due On (BSEG-ZFBDT)" cannot be controlled with field status.
It is contolled by field attribute of screen painter (Tcd: SE51). If
you look at element attribute for "Due On" field, a flag for required
entry is activated. In this case, field status has no control over
the field.
As of release 3.1G, field BSEG-ZFBDT is hardcoded in most FI screens
to be mandatory and cannot be influenced by any field status
changes. This situation is only valid when posting with special G/L
indicator (ie PK 29/39).
SAP development team has determined that this is a critical field. The
reason behind this is that this special GL screen and the data entered
here are very important to many other programs. This data affects
liabilities and receivables where due date is necessary almost
everytime. Thus, we changed this field in this screen in order to
prevent problems in many other areas. The reason is explained further in
note 95079.
545944    FAQ, down payment, tax code, baseline date
above Field is controlled through SE51 only.
Tcode : SE51
Program (screen)     SAPMF05A
Screen number        304
Eliment list press display.
special attributes.
BSEG-ZFBDT - Required.
Other options are below.
     The attribute "Input" can have the following values:
     o    Not possible
         The input/output field cannot be supplied with an input - that
         the screen element can only be used for outputs.
     o   Possible
         The input/output field can be supplied with an input at runtime
         the remainder of the transaction, an input is not required.
     o   Recommended (Optional Field)
         The input/output field should be supplied with an input at runt
         The system, of course, does not check immediately whether there
         been an input. During the remainder of the transaction, however
         input is necessary.
         To mark this kind of target field, the input template starts wi
         special character that is represented in the Screen Painter by
         question mark ('?'). The question mark will be suppressed only
         the field is in a table control or a step loop.
         You use the "target field", for example, if inputs cover severa
         screens and only at a later stage are subject to a common check
o   Required Field
    The input/output field must be supplied with an input at runtime.
    The system checks this property immediately, and very definitely
    when the event is processed (PROCESS AFTER INPUT).
    So that such a required field is marked accordingly, its input
    template must begin with a special character that is represented in
    the Screen Painter by a question mark ('?'). The question mark is
    suppressed only if the field is in a table control or a step loop.
I hope above information will resolve your issue.
Kind Regards,
Fernando Evangelista

Profit Center Dummy for Vendor advance account - spl gl indicator A

Hi
I have activated the PCA in 4.7, i have posted the vendor advance transaction using f-48. I have given the relevant profit center in the offseeting line item of vendor, i.e bank clearing account. I have maintained this account in 3keh settings too. When i run 1kek to update AR/AP, the vendor related Recon account (i.e spl gl A - assigned account) is updating with dummy profit center.
Is there any notes i need to apply in 4.7 to enusre this picks up the profit center from offsetting line or how to resolve this issue?
regard
Mahesh

HI Rajesh
I checked for the 3keh setting, the offsetting GL is assigned there. How ever, for vendor account i.e recon account, we will not assign in 3keh. So when u run 1kek, the vendor recon gl account is updated with the PC from offsetting line, that is the way 1kek works rite. Now for prepayment through spl gl indicator, i assigned that recon account to 3keh, i ran 1kek, and its updating the Profit Center. That means we need to assign Spl GL assigned recon accounts too to 3keh. Thought let me share this with you.
regards
Mahesh

Document Parking for Spl. GL Transactions

Hi!!!
I am trying to Park Document where in one line item Spl. GL Indicator is used.
System is giving Error Message where it says -
You have selected a posting key with a special G/L indicator of type 'Bill of exchange', or 'Down payment'. Document parking is not defined for special G/L transactions of the type 'Bill of exchange' or 'Down payment'.
Is there specific setting where we have to define Document Parking for Spl. GL Transactions?
Thanks & Regards..
Ameya...

Hi Anitha,
SAP does not plan to develop document parking with special G/L indicator for down payments.
It is not possible to park any FI documents that contain a line item for down payments as it is not developed.
As in standard R/3, the standard function is as follows:
You can park data relating to customer, vendor, G/L and asset accounts There is an additional fast entry function for G/L accounts. Both tax information and special sales can be parked. However, no special sales resulting from bills of exchange or down payments can be parked.
The above documentation can be found via R/3 Library > AC - Financials > Accounts > FI - Financial Accounting > Accounts Receivables > FI Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable > Document Parking > Parking documents : Overview > What data can you park ?

Regarding spl gl indicator

Hi Friends,
1, I have one doubt how to creat spl gl indicator. where create spl gl indicator
2 Our client doing every month is closed , but they want to open the previous month how to open

hi,
Special GL Transactions use the special GL Indicator which specifies the type of transaction, based on the type of account (Customer or vendor) to define a partifucar configuration
E.g. A- Downpayment
G - Guarantee
B- Bills of Exchange
E - Reserve for Bad debt
The special indicator is done while posting of special GL. E.g for downpayemnt - Acc - Fin acc - AP - Posting - Down payments - Downpayment
U have a field called Special GL idnicator - Since it is down payment, u need to select A.

Creating a tax code in FTXP I can't fill in an account for NVV

Creating a tax code in FTXP,
for my tax code I've filled in a Tax Percent. Rate for Transaction Key NVV but SAP doesn't allow me to fill in an account for this
Transaction Key in the tab tax accounts.
What cuold it depend on?
Thanks

Hi,
Well NVV account key in sap standard is a non deductible key and it would not be display in OB40 for account assignment.
If you see NVV properties in OBCN it will display check box ticked for not deductible and posting indicat. 3.But if you want to use it for tax posting untick that check box and change posting indicator to 2.
Then it will show that key NVV in OB40 and let you assign gl for this key.

Different COGS GL Account for Sample Material delivery

Dear All,
Sometime customer is selling their regular finished product as Free Sample, but User want different COGS GL Account whenever he posts PGI for Free Sample material. I checked Split valuation functionality as posted in the forum, but our case finished material managed in the batches and price indicator is S. Appreciate your advice to cater this requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Santosh

Hi,
Option - 1.
Try testing with GBB - VAX and VAY general modification key. You need to take care of Cost elements for the GL account assigned. VAX not a cost element and VAY with cost element.
Option - 2.
You may have a utility which can run as a background job, which transfers the Standard COGS to Sample COGS account for the specific delivery type (only for sample Delivery document type).
Option - 3.
This is too lengthy for this requirement. You might need to create a customer specific movement type.
Thanks
Krish.

Different Consumption Account for Movement type 201 and 261

Dear All ;
Client want use different consumption account for movement type 201 and 261 .
How we canmap this in SAP
Kindly suggest .
Regards;
Joydeep Mukherjee

This you can acheive by setting account assignment indicator is checked.
OMJJ >>> Movement Type >>>Account Grouping >>Check account Assignment
If this indicator is set, the system checks whether a G/L account or an account assignment has been specified on the item screen when user post transactional data. If so, the system copies this data to the posting line for account determination.
If this indicator is not set, the system always uses the G/L accounts or account assignments determined automatically.

Seperate GL account for rentention amount using Instalment payment?

We have an interesting issue, our client is having a requirement regarding installment payment. Please find below the scenario. We hope to get some ideas in this regard.
We are using payment term with settings for installment payment.
Example: Payment term Y001 Installment payment, Y002 Installment payment 90% and Y003 Installment payment 10%.
Invoice Amount : 1000
90 % outstanding for immediate payment : 900 (to be accounted in Vendor reconciliation account)
10% retention till tax certificate produced : 100 (to be accounted under separate retention GL account)
While posting invoice through MIRO & FB60, our client wants to split the amount in to two parts 90% outstanding to the Vendors and retain 10% of the invoice value till the tax returns certificate is produced. Presently Amount splitting is made to take care of this using a payment block in payment term Y003. This helps in retaining 10% of the amount till the tax paid certificate is produced.
Postings are happening with the split amount, to the reconciliation account maintained for the Vendors. This is presently showing the total payables towards vendors. But for statutory reporting purpose, we now need to maintain a separate GL account for the retention amount. This is again required to be a Vendor reconciliation account for control over outstanding amounts with respect to respective vendors.
We are exploring different alternatives to get this done. Please advice if you have come across any such scenario.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Viswanath

I understand when you use your Installment payment term, system must be posting two lines for vendor i guess must be like;
Expense                      Dr.   1000
     Vendor                                     Cr. 900
     Vendor                                     Cr. 100
Ok eventually both 900 and 100 goes to the same GL (Reconciliation)Account but your client wants that the 100 should goes to other GL accounts.
One of our collegue in this forun has answered you to use Special Gl Indicator, the solution upto some extent ok but i guess you will loose the automation of amount splitting which 900 and 100.
So i would advice you the following;
Create one Retention Reconciliation Account
Configure Alternative/Reconcilation Account in the IMG ( This config allows you to change reconciliation account while posting invoice )
So at time when you simulate your accounting entry double click on 100 line and manually enter the retention GL Account. I guess the solution is manual and painfull but if special gl indicator can be used with automation then you must go with that

Due Date symbol for Spl GL Transactions

Hi Everybody,
Need one help regarding Down payment entries with Spl GL Indicators. We have created 3 Spl GL indicators (1 - local vendors / 2 - imports vendors / 3 - capital vendors).
When we are posting payment entries using these Spl GL indicators, for Spl GL indictor 1, Net Due Date symbol is not getting captured. It is blank. However, for Spl GL indicators 2 & 3, it is getting captured.
I have checked these Spl GL indicators for any data mismtach. There is no mismatch. All are having the same data. I need to have the Net Due Date symbol for Spl GL 1 also.
Can somebody help on this.
With Best Regards,
Hemanth

Hi:
This field ins contained in standard dynpro:SAPMF05A 304 and hence it is not possible to display payment due date and other fields like payment terms in down payments with special GLs indicator, The reason being that the terms of payment not only control the due date but also the cash discount terms. Hence it is not feasible to display terms of payment/due date in Down payments. DP forms part of balance sheet and hence it is not system design to display payment terms with special GL indicator, Hope it will help you.

Spl gl indicator

Hi all,
            in T.code: FB60, I'm not able to see all spl gl indicators, I need to post a credit memo with spl gl indicator. But when I'm using f-43, I'm able to see all spl gl indicators,
              do we configure differently for FB60 transaction spl gls???

HI Venkat,
          thanks for you advise. we can use f-41 for credit memo, in that screen it is showing all spl gl indicator it's fine. but users use FB60, because of lot of line items.. but in FB60 I'm not finding all spl gl indicators, it showing only 4 spl gl indicators, where we have more than 20.
          We use spl gl indicator for credit memo for spl purpose. We give some value of goods to supplier to produce good quality items, it may happen before po also. We can't treat it as down payment because we are not paying anything from bank. We use credit memo in this situation, but to track this type of credit memos we use spl gl indicator..
           you are well come with your suggestions, if we can go it with out credit memo, then it's fine...
thanks are regards
