Good will write off issue

Hi
sap gurus
i want to write off some amount against my goodwill account.
we have uploded goodwill balance through uploading.
which gives debit- goodwill & credit-upload account on starting of the year.
now by year ending i want to write off some amount from the goodwill balance (10% write off). which gives debit to- goodwill writeoff a/c(p&l) and credit to -goodwill a/c(b/s).
since goodwill is a reconciliation a/c manual entry is not possible.
i have tried by using transaction ABMA. but it is asking for acquisition entry.
plz reply .

HI Steve,
A Customer and Vendor have to defined as two seperate Business Partners. In SBO 2007 the reconciliation feature has been enhanced where a Customer and Vendor could be reconciled easily.
In your case, you could use an interim G/L to reconcile Customer and Vendor. Or Create a JE crediting the Customer and debiting the Vendor

Write-on/Write-off Vehicle

Hi All,
I am new to VMS..
My Requirement ---write-off the vehicle. using movement type and cost center...
Is there any standard transaction available for Write-off/write-on...
Please provide valuable Suggestion ..
Moderator message: please search for available information/documentation.

I am getting confused
You and me both!!
I am as certain as I can be that after doing my 702 write off there were no TOs or TRs created and the WM stock is sitting in the exact same storage type in LS26 as it was before I wrote off the stock and there doesn't appeart to be any other negative stocks in LS26 corresponding to my write off.
I have discussed it further with the business and for the write-off issue, they are happy to write stock back on using a 701 movement and then write it off correctly using the 712 movements. e.g.
Current
WM 10
IM 0
701 Write On
WM 10
IM 10
712 Write Off
WM 0
IM 0
This will satisfy them for the write offs as from an IM point of view it will be a write on followed by a write off and from a WM point of view the stock will then leave correctly.
However, we can not do the same thing for our stock that was wrote on as it has already been moved on from an IM point of view so the orginal question is still there. Is there a way we can write on stock from a WM point-of-view without updating the IM stock.

Write off FICA documents with no segments after New GL has been activated

Hi Gurus,
The scenario we are facing is as follows"
The client had already implemented FICA as part of its legacy, but SAP FICO was not implemented. As part of the new framework, we are implementing SAP FICO as well, while at the same time New GL is now being activated.
All ancillary configurations have been maintained for deriving profit center/segment information on main and sub transactions through use of CO Account assignment key.
Issue:
The issue we are facing now is that, while writing off (FP04) any FICA document which has a profit center/segment information, we are able to write it off. But any FICA document which does not have segment information, we are getting the error "Segment Missing"
Probable Solutions:
1) Tried maintaining the value as "2" (Account Assignment) at the following node:
FICAIMG-->Business transactions--> Define specifications for Write-offs
This solution did not help us in writing off the FICA document
2)Custom logic in event 5030?
Custom logic can be maintained in the FM at event 5030, where we should be able to derive the profit center/segment info. based on the business area
Please let me know if any other options can be tried and also if the custom logic at event 5030 should help us resolve the write off issue?

Hi, I have the same laptop and had the same problem.
I have solved it by adding the following arguments to the kernel command line:
acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor
Note: acpi_osi only did the trick, but then the backlight service fails. acpi_backlight fixes the service.

Barney's Card Small Balance Write-Off

Don't panic if you see this language under "transactions" on your Barney's online statement. I was leaving a $2 balance on the card to ensure they would report my new 3k CLI. Madea payment for all but $2. I was not sure if they would report CLI with a zero balance. The next thing I know, the account balance is zeroed out. I looked under transaction detail and saw "small-balance write-off" for $2. I seriously thought they were going to write off the balance and close my account or something! I charged a green tea purchase online a few minutes later for $14 successfully on my Barney's card and it went through just fine. Apparently some card companies will do a small balance waiver and write it off when it is that tiny. Relieved, because I mistakenly thought it meant they were writing it off in order to close my card. Wanted to post this to tell you if you see this on yours not to panic. I don't think I'll leave a small balance on there again though as it may irriate them to write off small amounts more than once. Hope this helps someone.

I have seen this on my FRN card and yes they will write off small balances. There is no one else I am aware of that does this. I was thinking it might be a Comenity Capital anomaly too, since both Barney's and FRN Mastercard are through Comenity Capital, but then I saw this. Apparently other companies do too!

I m having problems with both my iphone 3gs and 4 when my cellular data is on and my battery is fully charge but out of suddenn it will shut off can i know how can i troubleshoot this issue thanks

simply try doing a back up and restore
when going thru the activation screen, select SET UP AS NEW and then test your device. if it is not shutting down then it could be 1 or more apps tht have been downloaded wch could be affecting the device
you will then need to follow the process of eleimnation, meaning add 2 apps and then monitor your phone, if nothing happes then add another couple of them and then check
good luck !!

Good afternoon! What to do if forgot an access code for write-off of money from the card?

Hello!!!
What to do if fogot an access code for write-off of maney from the card?

If you made in app purchases in a game, and you did not receive the "items" you paid for, contact the developer of the game. If you are unable to receive support from the developer, you then should contact the iTunes store and inform them that you did not recieve the purchased content.
IF iTunes store support refunds the money that you spent, I would suggest you NOT use the refunded money for the same items, as you may not receive a refund for the same thing again.
Good Luck.

Project Billing "write-off" options

I'm attempting to determine the best method of "writing off" transactions on direct projects that have been reported as billable, accrued revenue but will never be billed. Please consider the following narrative as an example:
A consultant (consultant x) charges April time and expense to project 10001 in a billable capacity (charged transactions to a billable task). The transactions are cost distributed, revenue distributed and an invoice is subsequently produced. All cost and revenue transactions are produced, interfaced and ultimately posted to the general ledger in April. The month of April is closed in PA and the invoices for the April billing cycle are produced. Project 10001's draft invoice includes those charges reported by consultant x and is distributed to the project manager for approval. The project manager reviews the invoice review and determines that consultant x's transactions will never be billed and instructs the accounting group to write off the transactions.
Challenge: we need a way to "write-off" (reduce revenue and change billing status) transactions that will allow for consistent reporting and measurement. Specifically, we need to be able to determine all write-off's (revenue/billing reductions) in a given period that relate to original transactions from an earlier or different period. In short, we want to establish a policy and procedure for consistently processing and reporting these types of conditions.
Proposed Options:
1) use the "special" non-billable adjustment option from either expenditure inquiry or invoice review to change the billing status from billable to non-billable.
Pros:
a) transactions will remain on the project in the capacity they were reported by the employee
b) an adjustment record will be created in the PA_Expend_Item_adj_Activities table which will include the adjustment activity code (i.e. Billable Reclass, Non-billable reclass, billing hold, billing hold release, etc.)
c) history of who created original transactions and adjustments is available (full audit trail)
d) a reversing revenue entry will be created in the PA_Cust_Rev_Dist_Lines_all table which will allow us to track the dates (gl period) of the revenue adjustment and compare it to the original transaction dates.
Cons:
a) to the average users the transaction on a billable task flagged as non-billable with no corresponding revenue may look unusual because there is no description explaining why the adjustment existed. the only way to determine that revenue existed and was subsequently reversed is to look at item details- revenue details.
b)The revenue write-off will be charged to the same accounts (revenue and inventory) that the original transaction was booked to but in reverse. we don't have the ability to deflect the "write-off" to a bad debt account versus a direct write-off of revenue.
c) The employee's utilization calculations will be impacted by changing the billing status of the transactions and reducing the corresponding revenue. we may need to update the utilization report to reflect these types of transactions differently.
2) use the "special" transfer adjustment option to transfer the transaction from the originating billable task to a non-billable destination task on the project in question.
Pros:
a) the average user will easily see that the transaction in question has been reversed and b) the revenue subsequently written off by the negative revenue on the reversal transaction
c) an adjustment record will be created in the PA_Expend_Item_adj_activities table which will include the applicable adjustment activity code(s) (Transfer Back-out, Transfer Originating, Transfer Destination).
d) history of who created original and adjustments is available.
a reversing revenue entry will be made via e) the negative reversal entry created in the PA_Cust_Rev_Dist_Lines_All table.
Cons:
a) the original transaction is being altered (transferred) by accounting. the integrity of the transaction as it was submitted by the source employee may be compromised.
b) there is no easy way for the average end user to know where the transaction was transferred to. the information is available via ad hoc reporting from database tables but looking at expenditure inquiry for a given project you will not be able to determine where the transaction went if it was transferred to another task and many tasks exist or if it was transferred to another project entirely.
c) The revenue write-off will be charged to the same accounts (revenue and inventory) that the original transaction was booked to but in reverse. we don't have the ability to deflect the "write-off" to a bad debt account versus a direct write-off of revenue.
d) The employee's utilization calculations will be impacted by changing the billing status of the transactions and reducing the corresponding revenue. we may need to update the utilization report to reflect these types of transactions differently.
e) As a common practice, each project will need at least one "non-billable" task to capture such write-off transfers.
3) use a write-off event (both revenue and billing) to reduce the project by the aggregate amount of all transactions in question.
Pros:
a) employee specific transactions and ultimately utilization results will not be impacted by the independent event transaction.
b) by modifying our autoaccounting rules we will be able to book the "write-off" to an account other than a revenue account. (I believe, more research necessary)
Cons:
a) No link back to actual transactions.
b) original transactions will remain untouched and will appear as though they were billed and will show up on the invoice and detail reports to the client along with an aggregated event for the total write-off amount.
Any thoughts or opinions you can provide about the best practice in Oracle will be greatly appreciated.

Diana,
Here's another response from a (very) senior Projects consultant. Her comments are in CAPS, so they can be dinstinguished from your comments:
"I recommend following the approach she outlines in Section 2, with the following additions:
SECTION 2) use the "special" transfer adjustment option to transfer the Transaction from the originating billable task to a non-billable Destination task on the project in question. CORRECT.
A) SET UP THE WBS TO HAVE A TOP LEVEL NON-BILLABLE TASK, ON EVERY PROJECT, WITH A TASK NUMBER OF :"WRITE-OFF".
B) WRITE AUTOACCOUNTING RULE , BASED ON TASK NUMBER, TO ENSURE THAT ANY TRANSACTIONS CHARGED (TRANSFERRED) TO "WRITE-OFF" TASK WILL BE POSTED TO A "WRITE-OFF/BAD DEBT" ACCT IN GENERAL LEDGER.
C) CREATE A DFF AT THE EXPENDITURE ITEM LEVEL WHICH CAN BE POPULATED AT THE TIME OF TRANSFER, TO INDICATE WHERE THE TRX IS BEING TRANSFERRED TO. IT IS TRUE THAT TRANSFER ACTIVITY REPORT WILL TELL YOU THIS AS WELL, BUT IF YOU
WANT TO SEE IT ONLINE DURING EXPEND. INQ, THEN DFF IS FINE.
D) AS TO CONCERNS ABOUT "THE INTEGRITY" OF THE TRANSACTION AS IT IS SUBMITTED BY THE EMPLOYEE BEING COMPROMISED, THIS IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE, BUT IF THIS IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS CONCERN, THEN I WOULD CONSIDER CREATING AN ALERT TO THE EMPLOYEE WHO ENTERED THE ORIGINAL TRX, ADVISING THEM OF THE CHANGE AND REQUESTING THEIR REVIEW AND OR APPROVAL OF THE TRANSFERRED TRX. I CAN SEE THIS BECOMING QUITE CUMBERSOME THOUGH, AND, OVERALL, ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENTS MANIPULATE TRANSACTIONS FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES ALL THE TIME AS STANDARD PRACTICE, SO I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS IS AN ISSUE HERE.
E) AND LASTLY, IT IS TRUE THAT AS A COMMON PRACTICE, EACH PROJECT WILL NEED A
'WRITE-OFF" TASK AS A STANDARD PART OF IT'S WBS-- SO WHAT? IT'S JUST ONE MORE TASK IN YOUR WBS. BUILD IT INTO YOUR PROJECT TEMPLATES, AND MAKE IT NOT CHARGEABLE UNTIL WRITE OFFS BECOME NECESSARY. AS TO UTILIZATION, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH INFO IN THE CLIENT QUESTION TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE PROPERLY.
THAT'S ABOUT IT. HOPE THIS HELPS.
BEST REGARDS, PAT"

Write off Stock at Subcontractor End

Hi Experts,
We want to write off the stock lying at stock subcontractor end in SAP thru Physical Inventory Adjustment. No storage location is assigned to subcontractor stock in SAP. Therefore we are finding it difficult to do it thru MI01, MI04, MI07.
Please guide how it is possible
Regards
( Rajneesh Gulati )

Why do Physical Inventory, presumably the SC is telling you, you aren't physically checking. Why not just process a goods issue to destruction, Movement Type 551 etc., through MIGO for O stock category ?
Cheers,
Nick

Write-off the MM inventory stock

Dear expert,
I want write-off the MM inventory stock which is expired, please give the step & procedure.
Regards,
PK

Dear Learn New,
PI Process -
Creation of Physical Inv Doc by MI01
Entering ZERO COUNT (Tick of ZC Box in PI Document by T CD - MI04
and posting the document by MI07 (individual document) or MI20( List of documents)
System will adjust inventory automatically by 702 movement type as a issue and financial impact will be in Loss Account as loss due to Physical imbalance in stock.
You can alternatively withdraw stock for Scrapping by movement type 551.
Thanks

IMac G5 2Ghz won't do a cold startup off the harddrive, but will boot off of CD and then on a restart.

So this is what my iMac has been doing for the past couple of weeks. When I do a normal startup, the iMac turns on and goes to the gray screen. After a few minutes longer then it's supposed to boot up, the fans in the iMac run at full speed and the iMac won't go any further on the boot. I then have to do a hard shut down (I miss the restart button). I now keep the System Disk in the machine because I then have to start the iMac back up, hold down the C key until the iMac goes through the booting process off the disk. I can usually then quit off the Disk and do a restart. And then usually the iMac will boot normally off the harddrive. Neither Disk Utility nor Disk Warrior 4.1 have found anything wrong when I do the diagnostics. Any ideas? I aleady had the power supply replaced within a couple of weeks of getting the machine, so I'm sure it's not that. Many thanks.

You've got a very old (2005), second hand Mac which you indicated is wearing out (e.g. screen starting to go) plus second hand DVD boot disks that sound like they are incompatible. (You said you "copied the DVD from work" -- that does not sound like a likely to succeed scenario; also, running Disk Utility from an incompatible boot DVD is like playing with fire.) If they are incompatible, you will NEVER have success in booting from them, and thus might never be able to resolve your hard drive issues, which indicate either hardware broken or a faulty OS install.
The only way to sort this out is to get a set of RETAIL (generic, not machine-specific) 10.5 DVD boot disks (or disk) in good shape. This will likely cost $150 or even more. You may still find you have an unusable computer, but it's hard to tell at this point. If you can boot from the CORRECT DVD, you will then either be able to archive or erase and install a new 10.5 OS, or you may discover hardware problems remain that make the machine unusable.
This is probably not what you want to hear, but if I were you I would take the mahcine to a shop where someone can take the hard drive out and put it into a USB or firewire enclosure. Then you should purchase the best Mac you can afford WITH its original DVD set and hopefully you can recover your files from that drive when you connect it. I think this 7-yr old Mac will never be a reliable device for you in the future.
If you really want to try a Hail Mary, at this point I can only suggest:
(1) Replace the PRAM battery. This should cost less than $10. (I doubt this will solve your issues, but it might)
(2) Read this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417 and try booting into Safe Mode. If that does not help, try booting into single user mode and run the "fsck -fy" command as explained in the above article.
Any serious hardware problem will probably cost more to repair than getting a new Mac and finding the parts will be a real hurdle. Plus they'll just be old, used parts not likely to last very long anyway.
Sorry you're experiencing this. I have a 2005 G5 2 GHz iMac with 10.5 now and it's somehow running just fine, but I bought it new and have been very careful about keeping it clean and up to date. These can be fun machines, these iMacs, and they're historical as well, but a 7-yr old Mac can go at any time. I keep it backed up to both Time Machine and cloned to a separate external drive just in case. I used to have a 2001 iMac which stopped working in 2009 after 8 good years, and I even had a 1994 PowerMac 7100/66 which I recycled in 2005 even though it was still working!

My Mac book pro won't charge. But the connector is plugged in and shows that its charging but it says it has 0% but if I unplug it it will shut off

My Mac book pro won't charge. But the connector is plugged in and shows that its charging but it says it has 0% but if I unplug it it will shut off. It's been like this all day but I didn't notice till I turned it on.

It's either a power adapter issue (not likely) or (more likely) a power supply problem on your MBP. Take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the problem.
Good luck,
Clinton

When I listen to music on my iPhone and pause it, if I come back to it later, the playlist has started over. I have a 4S running on iOS 7.0.4. Is there any way to keep this from happening so that my playlist will start off where I last was?

Stock Write-off Report

Dear Friends,
Is there a transaction or Report available to see the write-off stock by plant or through any movement types ? Please suggest
the requirement is as fallows:
Report needs to be selectable by IPC or ICC. Or plant
The report will need to show the stock that has been written off in Quantity of the item, the cost of this stock. And where the stock was written off.
The report should provide a total cost per plant and a total cost per item. At that plant. Where multiple locations are viewed the total cost sum for the plants should be provided.
Regards
Prakash

Hi Prakash
Could you please clarify the following
1. Is this write-off stock means stock posted to scrapping (551 mvmt)?
2. What do you mean by IPC and ICC?
If you can able to bifurcate the write-off through mvmt 551 (or any other) you may get all your requirements in MB51 report itself.
Thanks/ GVRR

R12 - Accounts Payable & PO Accrual Reconciliation Report - write offs

Hi,
As a relative novice to Oracle I need some help.................
My question regards the above which is essentially a "goods received not invoiced" report.
I have a number of items on the report which I would like to write off for two reasons:
(1) I have a small balance left which is basically the difference between the PO and the accounts payable column - in the region of 1p to 5p (therfore a housekeeping exercise)
(2) Items that we've never received an invoice for (we've received the stock for free!). ie there is only an entry in the PO column of the report.
For the above I would like a method of writing off these balances from the report.* This should therefore create a credit in my P&L account.
Your thoughts please.
Thanks in advance.
