Group & alternative account number field

hi,
1) i do not see group account number field in FS00, FSS0 or FS01/02/03 but i can see alternative account no. i know this alternative acc no is meant for country specific.
why i cannot see this group acc number field?
2) why i do not see country specific account show in alternative acc no? for example in obd4, there is sales acc and also local gaap sales account. when i disply operating sales acc, i do not see local gaap sales acc show in alternative acc number field.
thanks

hi,

1) may i know if local gaap account also in the same coa just like operating coa, then do we need to assign this local gaap account in alternative acc number field?
2) why in the same coa, there have more than 1 type? operating gl acc, local gaap gl acc and also ifrs gl account.
3) how do i know which account to post to as all of them in the same chart of acc?
thanks

  • Alternative account number in GL master record

    can any one help me to define what is the use of alternative account number in gl master record as i am new in this line.

    Hi
    The alternative account number field in the company code area is freely definable. You could use it to enter:
    1) The account number from your legacy system or
    2) The account number from a country chart of accounts if your corporate group uses a standard chart of accounts.
    You might want to use a standard chart of accounts worldwide. However, the usage of another chart of accounts is required by law in some company codes. By using the Alternative account number, the connection between the account in the worldwide standard chart of accounts and the account in the country chart of accounts can be set up.

  • RFBILA00 Alternative account number Missing

    Dear All,
    I  assigned operating general ledger accounts to financial statement version, and in GL master data, i have already assigned alternative account number to them.  but when i run RFBILA00 report, i turn on "accounts with zero balance" " ALV grid control", in the following result screen, i can get the correct report tree and accounts assignment, but when i show alternative account number field, all of them are blank. what's wrong with it? i would like to see all these alternative account numbers, and i checked some SAP notes, found they can not resolve this problem.
    Do you have any suggestions on this issue?

  • Alternative Account number - using as a custom field/Issues in reports pull

    Hi All,
    Requirement:
    Create a new field in the GL master that will link through to a new 8 to 10 character new Chart of Accounts (COA).
    We are presently using the "Group Account number" field from the GL master for reporting purposes through a Group COA. So this won't be available for our new purpose. Instead of creating a custom field and pulling the data, I'm thinking to use Country Chart of Accounts to fill this gap by using "Alternative Account Number" in GL Control data tab.
    I created a new Country COA and assigned it to Operational COA. Created new GL account (FS00) and also created a new Country Chart of Accounts (FSP0) at Chart of Accounts level and assigned this to the created GL (FS00). In this process I got couple of issues
    1) System didn't allow me to assign Country COA GL if already has the balance, and tried to change this error message in OBA5 without success. How can I add newly crated Alternative a/cs to the existing (balanced) GL A/cs?
    2) This time I created brand new GL a/c and added the alternative a/c and created new Financial Statement Version (FSV) assigned the newly crated a/cs but I couldn't run the reports on this new COA, getting following error message "Company codes and charts of accounts entered are incompatible" when executing F.01/F.08.
    3) May be silly to ask - why we are not maintaining the Alternative a/c at Company Code level (FSS0)? Why we are only maintaining at Chart of Accounts level (FSP0)?
    Would be glad if any one touch this area deep enough to understand easily

    Hi
    The system will update the amount at company code level GL only. You can post the entries at company code gl only, no option to post the transaction figures at chart of accounts level. So the group COA or country level COA will pick up the transactional data from the GL at country level. Remaining level GLs are link with the country level COA.

  • SU01 Accounting Number field

    In releases up to 640, there used to be a report called RSSTAT10 that would produce a list of aggregated stats records (per account, if required).
    For some reason this has been discontinued as of 700.
    I always populate the Accounting Number field in SU01 so that if someone asks for detailed activity for an account, I would be in a position to quickly run this report (I am aware of the limitations caused by the size of the stats file and / or the currency of the appserver session).
    I have looked all over the place for documentation about the accounting number field : the best I can find is in the online help : <i>"For each user or user group, assign an account name or number of your choice. The user appears in the RZ accounting system (ACCOUNTING EXIT) under this number.
    A recommended account number would be the user’s cost center or company code, for example.
    You should always enter an account name or number in the SAP accounting system. The user will otherwise be assigned to a general category without account number."</i>
    This doesn't help me very much.   If anyone could shed some light on a new report that behaves similarly to RSSTAT10, or point me in the direction of some documentation on the ACCOUNTING EXIT / RZ Accounting System, I would be most grateful.

    Hi Stefan!
    Which issue exactly are you trying to solve:
    1. The LDAP field goes into the CUP request, but not into SU01
    2. The LDAP field does not even show up in CUP
    1) can be solved by maintaining Configuration - Field Mapping - Provisioning
    2) should work as you did it, alternatively you might be able to use a custom field (CAREFUL! once you use a custome field you'll never get it out of CUP again!)
    Kind regards,
    Frank.

  • Financial Statement and Alternative Account Number (China)

    Hi all,
    I have created a nice financial statement based on "normal" GL account number, and through this I can have a nice formatted balance sheet and profit and loss account.
    For china, I need the financial statement with the alternative account number displayed.  For example: My normal GL Account is 181000, and alternative account number is 10010101 .
    During running the F.01 - Balance sheet, I check the options of "alternative account number" under the tab of special evaluations, but the output of the balance sheet and profit and loss does not give me a nice format.
    All of the accounts are displayed under section Account not assigned (This is because alternative account number is 10010101 is not assigned to the financial statement version).
    Could anyone advise how to overcome this problem?
    Thanks.

    Ok ...
    I half way solve my problem with the following reference:
    http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-acct/country-specific-coa-1453275
    There is another issue of my Financial statement:
    The following is my scenario:
    I have Operational Chart Of Account, OCA1, and GL's are as followings:
    GL1000 linked with alternative GL account (GL9001 - Chart of account - ACA1)
    GL2000 linked with alternative GL account (GL9002 - Chart of account - ACA1)
    GL3000 linked with alternative GL account (GL9003 - Chart of account - ACA1)
    GL4000 No link to any alternative GL (because does not use or need this)
    My Financial statement version is FSV9, made up (must be, based on my testing) using GL Account (which are GL9001 and GL9002) and chart of account is ACA1.
    During the financial statement F.01, the GL4000 ends up with the following message at the bottom of the financial statement: <b>No alternative acct no.maintained for G/L acct 4000 in co.code ....</b>
    Note: GL4000 does not have any balances.
    Note: If GL4000 has balances, it is displayed under un-assigned section, and the value does not affect the profit and loss od the statement.
    Question: How can I solve the issue:
    1) Do not display the GL4000, which does not have alternative GL account.

  • CUP: Mapping LDAP field to CUP Accounting Number field

    Hello CUP Experts,
    I have encountered a problem with the LDAP field mapping that I simply can't figure out on my own.
    We have a field named employeeNumber in our LDAP system, I want that employeeNumber to end up in the CUP field named Accounting Number and eventually hoping that this data will end up in the corresponding Accounting Number field in the back-end user master field.
    - This Accounting Number field is visible in the back-end system in SU01D on the Logon data tab in section Other Data.
    In the LDAP Mapping I have mapped a CUP field named ACCOUNTNR to the LDAP employeeNumber under additional fields.
    Is the CUP field named something else than ACCOUNTNR in CUP?
    Does anyone know of a solution to this problem or a similar problem?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Account ID & Alternative Account Number Info

    Hi,
    Can some body help me in understanding the Following
    a) What is AccountID in FI12 T-Code
    b) What is the purpose of Alternative Account Number and how is it used.
    It would be helpful if it could be explain with an illustration.
    regards
    Shirley.

    a) Account ID is a 5-character ID with which you want to identify the bank account you are holding with your bank.  For example, EURCA is a current a/c. maintained in currency EUR with the bank.  This ID, along with the house bank ID, uniquely defines a bank account.  This is the ID using which you set up bank determination in FBZP.
    b) SAP help text on this field is quite explanatory.  Here it goes...
    Alternative Bank Acct Number (for Ambiguous Acct Number)
    The alternative bank account number is used for distinguishing house bank accounts with identical account numbers. This can occur if a house bank manages accounts in different currencies using the same account number.
    The alternative bank account number must then only be defined if it differs from the bank account number. You must maintain it together with the bank key in the system.
    If you have house bank accounts with identical account numbers and use the electronic account statement for these accounts, then you enter the internal key used by your house bank here (usually the account number with attached currency encryption). If you use the manual account statement, then you can freely assign the alternative account number. Using bank account number + currency code is, however, recommended.

  • Alternative Account Number in House Bank Definition

    Hi
    What is the use of Alternative Account Number in Definining House Bank through FI12.
    Yogesh

    Hello,
    Please read F1 help. It is clearly mentioned.
    Test copied below:

    The alternative bank account number is used for distinguishing house bank accounts with identical account numbers. This can occur if a house bank manages accounts in different currencies using the same account number.
    The alternative bank account number must then only be defined if it differs from the bank account number. You must maintain it together with the bank key in the system.

  • Changing the alternative account number

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to change once assigned alternative account number that has already been posted to?
    Thanks!!
    D.

    Hi,
    Please see the solution given by Brendan O'Brien for the thread "GL Alternative Acct Number - error message FH007" in this forum.
    Anyway, I am copying the text from the same thread. Hope this should be useful to you.
    If you have a "Country-specific chart of accounts" assigned to the GL Account then it is correct that you cannot change the alternative Account number.
    However if you do not have a "Country-specific chart of accounts" Assigned and yet you still cannot make this change
    See note 305203. This note will prevent this message where no "Country-specific chart of accounts" is assigned.
    If you do have a "Country-specific chart of accounts" assigned then unfortunately you cannot change this error message, as FH007 is hardcoded as an error.
    However, a possible workaround which you may like to try could be:
    Deassign the country chart of accounts from OBY6,the company code global settings. Then it is possible to enter an alternative account number on the G/L master record irrespective of whether there is a balance on the account or not. Once the alternative account number is saved, reassign the country chart of accounts to the company code.
    However, as displayed, your account balancee is infact zero.
    The note will prevent the error message FH 007 where no "Country-specific chart of accounts" has been assigned to the corresponding company code. However, in your case, it sounds like you have a "Country-specific chart of accounts" assigned to the company code. Hence the error message.
    I hope that this information helps.
    Thanks,
    Ravi

  • Alternative account Number in G/L

    Hello experts,
    We have a company that besides the usual balance structure uses also an alternative one for its country.
    When I run the Balance sheet query with the normal hierarchy I can see all the nodes correctly. But when I use the one for its country I can see only one node (Not Assigned Fincl Statement Item) with all the account numbers inside.
    When I check it in R/3 (tcode FC10) I can see it with both structures checking the alternative account number option.
    Does anybody know how to use the alternative account numbers with the country specific hierarchy in BW?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rennie

    hi,
    i wud suggest, first you check the alternative account number hierarchy in bw, match the numbers with hierarchy in R/3. it may be data issue.

  • Financial Statement Version through Alternative Account Number

    Hi Experts
    Is it possible to create Financial Statement Version by using Alternative Account Number
    Regards
    Sreenivasulu

    Hi
    I think you want it only in the display as to what is the alternate account number for the GL account available in the FSV. If that be the case you can try that in the normal transaction F.01 which will not require a new FSV.  You can select the gl account number and the alternate account number in the same report through change layout.

    Can someone let us know how can we see this information in CRM.
    Also it would be helpful if you can tell under which screen,table and field can i get this information in CRM system.
    Useful answers will definitely be rewarded with points .
    Thanks,

    when You run the report then You can add by ALV the following two field that are hidden:
