GR/IR Clearing for consignment

Hello Experts,
After ECC 6.0 upgrade, we are running into issue with Consignments. It's not automatically clearing the GR/IR account due to difference in amount.
Here is how accounting document is getting posted:
When Material is withdrawn -
Db Plant Maint. 100
Cr GR/IR cons. 100
When Settlement is done -
Db GR/IR cons. 105 (Tax code U1)
Cr Vendor 100 (Tax code U1)
Cr Tax Accrual 5 (Tax code U1)
As a result we are forced to manually clear them using F-03. In previous environment 4.6B, Vendor line item didn't inherit the tax code and hence we never had tax line item. As per SAP, it was an error in previous versions and they corrected it in ECC 6.0 but manually doing it consuming lot of time for business users. Alternative suggested by SAP was to manually create the invoice instead of using MRKO but that's not something as it also makes the effort manual... (OSS 467162 and 984761)
Has anyone run into similar issue... how is this being handled in other companies.
Any advice on this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

PS: All answers will be duly rewarded.

Hello,
I have problem with MRKO also.
The requirement is account 408*** should not have partner profit center
I don't understand why the system affect partner PC to this operation in the accounting doc.

Manually clearing for consignment liability account

Hi all,
we have to manually do a FI posting to clear the consignment liability account, but there are 2000 line items, so I'm wondering if there is any automatic clearing process like GR/IR clearing ( MR11) for consignment liability account? Or can we run a program to clear this account?
please advise.

Hi Anand,
I havn't got any solution on that, based on SAP notes 487162, the solution is:
In this case, you either must not use such taxes or you must carry out a manual clearing between the consignment liabilities account and a suitable account in FI using Transaction FB01 or FB60.
so I think this is our solution for now,I'll keep u update if we found a better solution.

uncheck docs which can be cleared and try , make sure test run is on.
try with other gr/ir as well just too see if this tcode serves the purpose.

Credit management for consignment sale

Hi,
It is well accepted that in Standard SAP , for consignment sale process credit check is done in Consignment issue level as in this phase material stock is logically got diminished from valuated stock. But business dynamics need some solution with nature of business needs and from that point we need that how the same can be managed with consignment fill up. Consignment fill up is the stage where material is moved from plant gate to reach consignment agent's premises which is geographically may be located far away and this is the phase where user can want the credit check before dispatching more quantity with that of payment have received or with a threshold value of credit limit though the stock is under ownership of plant and that same will be transferred to customer after consignment issue.
now we have configured system in that way, KBN and KEN item category has been configured perfectly as needed(like credit indicator checked for KBN and unchecked for KEN item category).
But the problem is faced like following way.
Suppose I am doing a transaction of delivery against a consignment fill up order with value of 2 Lakh with that much credit limit and after making the delivery it got updated in FD32 open sales value (2 Lakh) which is correct in this context.
Secondly at the time of consignment issue delivery further open sales value is not updated with 2 Lakh which is also correct(as credit check is inactive as it should not be update the open sales value as 4 Lakh)
Lastly when we are preparing the consignment commercial invoice with reference of consignment issue delivery then after posting 2 lakh got updated in receivables in FD32 which is also correct but at the same time open value should be diminished to zero which is not updating and this is wrong as then credit exposure is calculated wrongly for next transaction. so huge value will be accumulated in open sales value for consigmeet agent and the same cannot be rectified by standard program RVKRED77 like normal customers.
So please explore what may be the solution for the same(may be any configuration setting) or if there any another correction program exists.

Indranil

Dear Mr. Lakhshmipati,
Thanks for your reply.
I need the input to be given that we are running the credit check with update group 000015 . So in this case S066- OEIKW will not update anytime.
As per note 492831 is declaring that for consignment fill up if the credit indicator is active but the table S066 - OEIKW will not update for open sales value in case of consignment fill up
But we have tested that after creation of the delivery against consignment fill up open sales value updated in FD32 (as item category KBN has set as credit active) and the same figure is coming from the table S067 - OLIKW.
But it is not duplicated with creation of the delivery from consignment issue(as for item catefory KEN this check is inactive) and after creation of the commercial invoice receivable got updated but same value should be cleared from S067 - OLIKW.
You can understand the situation.
Now there can be three aspects of it. Please check my points below and suggest if I am wrong.
1. For update group 000015, this table S067 is updated for delivery of fill up in standard SAP but never adjusted in after that and also there is no standard program for correction. So in this case either we have to forcefully update the table (by exit or by program) though it should not be the practice as there may be some inconsistency or we should discard this process.
2. We have to deactivate the credit check at consignment fill up level and to carry with credit check at consignment issue level as in that case under update group 000015 , after creation of commercial invoice posting receivables got updated with modification of open sales value by diminishing that much value.
3. We have to withdraw the credit check for case of consignment agent.
please suggest if any other aspect keeping in mind that we have to try our best to reach the requirement of credit check at consignment fill up stage as material should be blocked for delivery before vehicle starts from factory gate.
with last effort if there is really no way , so we have to go with standard SAP.

Account postings for consignment

Dear experts,
Please explain me the account postings for consignment.
thanks in advance,

Hi,
Consignment
You manage material A from your vendor as consignment stock at a consignment price of $10/piece.
Goods Withdrawal
When you withdraw 100 pieces for consumption, the system makes a posting to the consumption account based on the consignment price. The offsetting entry is made to the account Liabilities from consignment stock.
Consignment and Pipeline Settlement
When the consignment withdrawals are settled, the liability created at the time of the withdrawal is cleared. The offsetting entry is posted to the vendor account.
The system determines which taxes are to be posted for each item from the consignment info record or pipeline info record.
When the system makes postings to the liabilities account, be they for withdrawals or for settlements, it creates the allocation number automatically from the material document number, so that the open items in Financial Accounting can be cleared.

Report for consignment materials

Hi SAP Gurus,
Is there a report for consignment materials that can show us the opening balance, receipts, Usage, and ending balance (of the stock) for a given time frame?

Residual Clearing for Customer in F-32

Hi
We have two instances, one with New GL and the other one on Classical Gl, but ECC 6.0
I am facing issue in residual clearing for Customer Open Items. I have a customer open item - Invoice of 1000 and Payment Recipet of 200. I am clearing 200 against the invoice of 1000 and creating a residual item of 800, which will reflects as open item of 800 after posting clearing through F-32. My Issue is with the way the Accounting entry of clearing document are created.
New GL System, the Accounting Entry is reflected as:
Customer A/c Dr    800
Customer A/c Dr    200
           To Customer A/c 1000
In this the line items of 200 and 1000 reflect as cleared items in FBL5N and 800 item appears as open item in FBL5N
Classical GL System, the Accounting Entry is reflected as:
Customer A/c Dr 800
    To Customer A/c 800
The Line Item of 800 Cr appears as Cleared Item in FBL5N and 800 Dr Item appears as open item in FBL5N.
Why is the Clearing Document created in different ways in the two system? Do we have any configuration, which decides the nature of how the Accounting Entry for Clearing Document is created in case of Residual Clearing in F-32?
Regards
Sanil

Hi
In the Clearing Procedure in FBKP, the Posting Key and Document Type are assigned. Also, in OBA3, tolerance setting for clearing are determined. My issue is on how the Accounting Entry for Residual Item is created for system on new GL. I have checked the configuration suggested but they do not help on the way how the accounting entry is created for Clearing Document.

GR/IR Automatic Clearing for Different Business areas items

Hello All,
we have different business areas, and some times we create a PO for all business areas and invoice it in a specific business area
in F.13 automatic clearing:
for GR/IR account
Documents with different business area cannot be cleared.
any idea to solve this issue is appreciated,

Thanks for your reply,
I've tried such a solution with more parameters ( EBELN, XREF3 and EBELP)
but in F.13 :
- the document cannot be cleared when >>> selecting GR/IR account special process.
if we treat GR account as a normal GL account, I mean without selecting GR/IR account special process.
the document can be clear
i want to be able to clear the document with selecting GR/IR field ( is it possible )
and if it is not allowed, do we will face a problem by clearing GR account without selecting GR/IR parameter ??
Many Thanks

Proforma Invoice for Consignment Fill-up

Hi,
Everytime there is a delivery out from my company, we need to submit a proforma invoice to custom.
Now we plan to implement the Consignment but we facing a problem. After we created the transcations for consignment fill-up (sales order type KB and its delivery order), we want to create the proforma invoice (F8) based on the delivery order but an error occured as below:
"80008164 000010 Item category LF KBN cannot be invoiced with billing type F8."
Is this message telling that consignment fill-up transaction can't use as reference to create a proforma invoice?
Is there any configuration that I need to do to allow the creation of proforma invoice based on the consignment fill-up transaction?
Thank you.

Hi Aaron,
You can have a Proforma Invoice for Consignment Fill-up. For this use the following path:
IMG> Sales and Distribution> Sales> Sales Documents> Sales Document Item--> Define Item Categories. Here select the Item Category KBN and select option "D" for Billing Relevance field and "X" for Pricing field (seen in the Business Data option).
Also maintain Copy control between the Delivery type & Billing type using T-code VTFL. Here ensure Copying requirement as 009(DlvRel.pro forma hdr) at Header level. And at Item level select Item category as "KBN" with Copying requirements as 010(DlvRel.pro forma itm), Billing Qty as "B" and Pricing Type as per your requirement.
Hope this helps you.
REWARD if it helps you!!

How to configure Automatic Account Clearing for A/R

Hi,
Kindly advice me how to configure Automatic Account Clearing for A/R
The client requirement is
In A/R the customer accounts are not automatically clearing when a payment is posted for that account. We are still seeing all open items and all paid or cleared items when we go to FBL5N and select open items for viewing. Please make account clearing automatic for customer payments.
Thanks in advance
Sunitha

Hi,
Use T code OB74.
Maintain for your Chart Of Account, acct type "D", From and to customer accounts and then add the critera you want. Pls note you cannot define more than 5 criteria.
Then schedule the clearing program job F.13 in the background.
Cheers.

POSTING ERROR-MESSAGE POSTING BALANCE NOT CLEARED FOR THE PERIOD 2/2008A

Hi
I have a problem in payroll posting. While posting for one employee's persn number rejected and gave a message as Posting Balance not cleared for the period 2/2008A. To come out of the problem I changed the Payroll status record using pu03 changed the Erliest Retro date as 01.06.2008. Again tried to post but not posted again same Message displayed. After changing the Erliest Retro record I have not run the payroll for the particular employee. Is it required to run the payroll for the employee after changing the status in PU03. Request to guide on this
Thanks
EKP Yadav

Hi there
The posting may be out of balance for the employee because their credits dont equal their debits...
Do a test posting for the employee with the log on, this will tell you what amounts are being posted - and should give you an inidcation of where the balance is not cleared...
Yes, you would have to re-run the employee if you'd changed the retro date in PU03, but I dont think that will fix your posting problem....Should the employee have retroe'd?
From what I have seen, just changing the control record doesn't usually fix an out-of balance..there is usually another reason....eg wagetype incorrectly posting to the wrong number of accounts....or a missing wagetype on the employee (eg bank details...no /559 for the net pay to go to).
Cheers
