Goodwill and balance forward

Dear All,
I would be grateful if you wouldhelp me answer for my issue.
I use AFD for investment and equity.
Goodwill only has extraamortization method in the setting for Consolidation of Investment.
When I perform task balance forward in a new year, SEM-BCS copies data for investments and equities tabels, but it does not perform for the Goodwill tabel.
I need do extraamortization for a goodwill in new year, but I can not display data for the goodwill in the task in the Monitor Consolidation.
Thank you in adavance for your help.
Best regards,
anaka

Thank you for your answer.
There is a task for goodwill in the Consolidation Monitor.
The goodwill has appeared In the 2009 year.
I would like to writte off this goodwill in 12/2010. But when I execute task for goodwill (manula change value of goodwill) I cannot display value goowill in layout for goodwill which it was created in 2009. In the field "Balance opening" does not appear any value for goodwill.
Should this value be inherit from prior year?
Thank you in advace for your help.

anka

Balance Forward Bills and Aging

Does anyone know if there is a way to stop AR from aging a transaction that has not yet been billed when using Balance Forward Billing?
Scenario
Customer purchases something on Nov 20. Order immediately flows from OM to AR, invoice transaction is created in AR, and revenue is recognized immediately. However, this customer is on a monthly billing cycle and will therefore not be billed using Balance Forward Billing until December 5th. The due date is bill date plus 15 days; therefore due date is Dec 20.
As far as I know, Oracle will age this invoice transaction as of Nov 20. It will of course show up in the "Current" bucket on the aging report until the due date (Dec 20), however it really shouldn't be aged at all considering the customer hasn't been billed.
Am I missing something here? Anyone know a way around this?
Thanks.

Hi Carl,
Thanks for your reply. Actually the thread you refering was almost similiar to my problem. In fact, mine problem was not able to bring down the Balance Forward amount in the grouping level.
Let me give you some example. I have 5 fields in my report which are:
Date - Field from database
User - Filed From database
Balance Forward (BF) - Calculation in formula (Previous date CF display as next date BF)
Current Amount (CA)- Field from database
Carry Forward (CF) - Calculation in formula (BF+CA=CF)
When drag out those fields from database into the CR without perform any group, it will shows something as below in the details section.
Date User BF CA CF
1/1   A      0 50 50
1/1   B      0 100 100
2/1   A      50 50 100
2/1   B      100 50 150
When i perform a group on date, it should shows in the design layout as below:
Date BF CA CF
1/1   0 150 150
2/1   150 100 250
On date 1/1, my BF will be 0 for the first day and CF will be 150 with the formula calculation as SUM(BF+CF). For date 2/1, i will required to carry down this 150 (previous date 1/1 CF) down to the date 2/1 BF and following by the next date 3/1.
I try to use the previous(group.fields) in the formula, but it will shows me "No any previous or next value to be retrieve". In fact, i could use the previous(table.fields) function and place on the details section.
Appreciated you could advise how to retrieve my SUM(CF) value and display on the next grouping date section in Crystal Report.
Thanks.

Hi
If you give correct db connection properties in db adaptor's wsdl , it will work. If jndi properties were not available in db adaptor's wsdl file, then bpel server will pick jndi properties from oc4j-ra.xml.
Give system name instead of IP address of database server in mcf.ConnectionString property. This will work.

Carry Balance forward

Hi All,
We just started our new Fiscal year, and we are carrying the balances forward. We ran F.07, and selected the new fiscal year and checked both Select Customer and Vendors. Then when i went to check the Account balance for the AR account (121000), I see a value of only 34,441 as the Balance carry forward under *** Balance. Now when i double click on that value it gives me line items. In that drill down report I see the correct amount of 8,144,292.83. The same problem happens on the Vendor side just different amounts. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks,
Rashad

Hi Rashad,
Before we discuss the problem further, I would like to share the program logic by SAP:
This program calculates the balance carried forward for customers and/or vendors.
The balances of the previous year are carried forward to the new year. If the account has not yet been posted in the new year and no balance carried forward has been carried out for this account, the account is opened inthe new year with the 1st balance carried forward; otherwise, the balance carried forward of the account is stored in the new year if changes result.
When posting into a previous year, the system carries forward the balance automatically. This is independent of whether the program has already run or not. "posting to a previous year" means that the posting date of the document has an earlier year than the entry date. This automatic carrying forward also occurs accumulatively over several years that means a posting in January 1993 with the posting date December 1991 changes the balance carried forward for 1992 and 1993.
SAP recommends that the program is run at the beginning of the new fiscal year. If the program is already run at the end of the last fiscal year, postings which are posted after this to the last fiscal year, do not result in automatic adjustment of the balance carried forward because it is not a "posting to a previous year". In such a case, it is necessary t let the program run again after these postings to carry forward the postings entered later.
The program can be started as often as desired.
Nevertheless, you can post to the new year if the program has not yet run. When posting, the accounts, however, with a balance carried forward of greater than zero are opened. Postings in the previous year do increase this balance carried forward, but do not carry forward the total of the items already posted in the old year to the new year; the balance carried forward only has the items posted by the new year into the previous year, but not the items posted in the previous year itself.
Please go through the same and let me know what problems you are facing.

"Balance forward" SQL statement

Has anyone developed a SQL statement that allows balances to be carried forward? Would a UNION query possibly work?
Here's my example where I need to join 3 tables and show results. Based on the example data below, I am looking for a query that allows me to illustrate that the Acrobat 9 Installed Software instances are consuming a license capacity of 6, leaving a balance of 4 that can be applied to the Acrobat 8 Installed Software Instances.
Table: LICENSE
LICENSENUM     SWLICENSE          LICENSECAPACITY
'1001'          'Adobe Acrobat 9'     '10'
Table: LICENSESW
LICENSENUM     SWPRODUCT     PRECEDENCE
'1001'     'Acrobat 9'     '1'
'1001'     'Acrobat 8'     '2'
Table: INSTALLEDSW
INSTALLEDSW
'Acrobat 9'
'Acrobat 9'
'Acrobat 9'
'Acrobat 9'
'Acrobat 9'
'Acrobat 9'
'Acrobat 8'
'Acrobat 8'
'Acrobat 8'
'Acrobat 8'
'Acrobat 8'
I can write a select to do total counts, but this does not allow me to carry a balance forward to be applied to Acrobat 8 (precedence 2).
select LICENSE.SWLICENSE, LICENSE.LICENSECAPACITY, count(INSTALLEDSW.INSTALLEDSW) as INSTALLED_COUNT
from LICENSE, LICENSESW, INSTALLEDSW
where LICENSE.LICENSENUM = LICENSESW.LICENSENUM
AND LICENSESW.SWPRODUCT = INSTALLEDSW.INSTALLEDSW
group by LICENSE.SWLICENSE, LICENSE.LICENSECAPACITY;
Results:
SWLICENSE          LICENSECAPACITY          INSTALLED_COUNT
'Adobe Acrobat 9'     '10'               '11'
I need results that look like this, where the balance of 4 is carried forward after the first row:
SWLICENSE          LICENSECAPACITY          INSTALLED_PRODUCT     INSTALLED_COUNT
'Adobe Acrobat 9'     '6'               'Acrobat 9'          '6'
'Adobe Acrobat 9'     '4'               'Acrobat 8'          '5'

Not easy to follow your example data, but if I demonstrate what I think you are trying to achieve using the emp table, you may be able to see if it helps...

Internal Orders Residual balance forward

Dear All,
I am kind of new with internal orders, how do I bring residual balances from last year to this year? I am running into a problem that when we create a PO and reference a I/O # systems tells me amoutn execeed because there is no dolalr value in the I/O. When I did the balance forward did I missed anything?

Thank you So much Kalpik, this T-code FIXED the problem. Is there a transaction code to reverse any balance carry forward fro I/O? I just want to be prepare.
people in purchasing can enter PO now.
Once Again thank you so much,

Comp Time Log balance forward calculation

I have a form that tracks comp time. The form is simple - Name of the person and forwarding balance, then a table of columns for the date, amount earned, amount used, a notes field, balance available, and a line for the manager to check.
I want begin with the balance going forward. Once this amount is entered, all that has to be done is enter each line and update the balance. The form is not dynamic. I have sixteen lines on each page. I figure, when the page is filled, they can print it off, put it in the worker's file and start a new page with the page's ending balance becoming the new balance forward on the next page. So this means the Balance forward will be at the top of each page.
I don't know how to enter that previous balance and include it in calculations for the first line without isolating that line by itself and using another calculation for line 2-16. Suggestions?
I am using Formcalc for my calculations.
Thanks for the assistance.

Hi
Thanks for your help. After a great struggle I could able to resolve the error. I could able to carry forward all the balances to the next period.

Reg Balance forward

Hi All,
My current client has a custom program which will clear all customer open items and posts the balance as a transaction with specific document type. (The client calls this as balance forward as they are forwarding the balance). This balance is forwarded to another custom module kind of thing where they generate a customer statement which has details like how much the owe and the customer owes them. Based on this, they review the customer account and decide whether to pay him or not.
My question is, is there a standard program or report which will clear all open items and post the balance. Or any other standard SAP way to do this instead of using custom program?
Please respond with your thoughts and solutions as this is very important for me. I need to come up with a solution for this.
Thank you for your time and help.
Regards,
Satya

Thanks for the quick response.
I agree with you that it is not actual balance forward process. Since they are forwarding the balance they call it as balance forward.
Carrying the balance to new fiscal year is a seperate process for the client which is not included in this process what i explianed now. This process is mainly for specific type of customers where you can see all payments to customers and also collections from customers.
You said they can use standard reports to see how much they have to pay to customer. Any idea what these reports are?
At the time of payments, they modify the payment amount if necessary. I think this can be achieved by SAP Partial payment.
I guess this whole custom process the client is having can be achieved in bit and pieces by standard SAP but do not know how?
It would be really great if anyone can throw some light on it.

Balance forward in Crystal Report

Hi All Expert,
I have one requirement which will need to bring down the balance forward value in grouping level.
Example:
I have a report design which will group be Date and have three summary total fields (Balance Forward, Current Total, Total Amount)
Date                               Balance Forward                  Current Total                Total Amount

2 Jan                              200                                        300                               500
3 Jan                              500                                        100                               600
I wish to bring down the total amount from one date to another date on the date grouping level. I tried to use the previous function in Crystal Report formula but it was unable to sum it out.
Appreciated your kind advice how can do this in Crystal Report.
TQ.

Transfer Open items and balance of one GL to new GL Account.

Hi,
I have an account which has around 10000 postings in it.However this account is not open item managed.I want to switch to Open Item Management for this account,but SAP does not allow as there are postings made to it.
I searched forum for solution on the same,and I got to know to transfer the postings and balances to new account.
The problem I have is I want all open items to be present in the new GL I create.With f-04(transfer posting with clearing) I will have to transfer each and every posting individually.As I said there are almost 10000 entries in this account. Is there any way I can transfer all open items and balance at once in the new GL?
Pls guide

If you want to transfer all the items to the new gl, you have to transfer it manually or use a LSMW or BDC to transfer the open items

The collum to the right listed similar problems. The solution appears to be that under smtp outgoing settings the user name and password are listed as optional. I have not plugged in the information and it seems to be working. However from my office it always allowed the relaying. The true test will be when I try to respond later from the road.

Sub-Contracting material Issued to Vendor and balance to be Issud

Hi,
Sub-Contracting material Issued to Vendor and balance to be issued against the Sub-contracting Purchase Order.
Please suggest T.Code for the same. (Same Like ME2O, but PO number should be an input parameter)
For example I have Created PO with header Material for 1 quantity which having one child item and qty say 20 numbers, and issued child material to vendor 10 numbers (541) and balance is to be issued to vendor is 10 numbers, now I want a report which gives PO number, Header item with qty, total requirement of qty for the child item with line item number, issued child item with qty and balance to be issued child item with qty.
Thanks
Ramesh.G

Report MB51 is there. Here you have to input your Purchase order number and execute but, it will show only material issued to subcontractor through 541. It will not show the balance quantities.
And there is no such standard report which will show information how much issued to subcontractor and how much is balance based on Purchase order.
You can develop a z report with the help of abaper.
