How to Clear Gl account at Period-End ?

Hello Expert, ..
Im very basic on SAP FI and I need some explanation about Clearing activities at Period-End (month & Year).
My questions :
A) Do we have to Clear every GL/Vendor/Customer Account at every Month/Year-End ?
If so, Why? What is the consequence if we Dont Clear them ?
B) I have this situations :
1. After I execute F.19 at Period-End, How do i CLEAR some GR/IR account that Have Not being Invoiced yet?
2. on December 2010, I have Post a Pre-Paid Insurance Exp like this:
Pre-Paid Insurance $1.500
Cash -$1.500
*) This Pre-Paid is used to pay Actual Insurance Exp for Dec 2010, Jan 2011, Feb 2011 ( $500 each Month)
and I use Reccuring Entry to allocate these Exp.
(31/Dec/2010) --> F.14
Insurance Exp $500
Pre-Paid Insurance -$500
*) How can i clear this Pre-Paid Insurance at the End of Dec 2010? Since the Balance on 31/Dec/2010 will be at Debet $1.000 ($1.500 - $500) Not Zero Balance.
Thanks for your kindly helps
Best Regards

Clearing will be possible to subledgers(Customer & Vendor) and GL accounts which are open item managed.
Normally clearing wil happen automatically for subledgers at the time of payment/receipt except partial payments/receipts.
You have to clear these partial payments/receipts at month end. Beacuse in some organizations month wise they maintain exchange rates, in that case if you clear the items in next month, system will post realized gain/loss. To avoid these types of Fx considerations you have to clear them.
Please check the below link for your prepaid account clearing.

What is the purpose of F-03 clearing? How to clear GL account there in F-03

HI,
What is the purpose of F-03 clearing? How to clear GL account there in F-03.Please help me in understanding the concept.
Thanks
Supriya

Hello,
There are cases where you pass some manual entries which might not have cleared against the other related item, THOUGH the balance has been ZERO. Like cases where you reverse logistics invoice through MR8M, then entry gets reversed but they are still open items. Like some GRIR accounts might have debit and credit entries for same purchase order and the balance MIGHT have become ZERO, but still they are open item. To clear all these open itesm (changing the status of the open items to cleared items, you need to use F-03)
Please go to F-03 and give the GL account which want to manually clear the debit and credit items.
Normally you will this kind of activity for clearing account, where there is no automatic clearing mechanism explained in OB74.
now click on open items. (if you know any specific things like document number etc. you can fill them, then they will act as a FILTER and only those document numbers you feeded will be appeared)
Now select the items you want to clear. Deselected all other you do not want to clear. Selected items will be in blue colour and the difference at the end of the screen MUST be ZERO to post (unless you configured otherwise)
Click on save button.
The entries passed will GL Account A Dr and GL Account B Cr. Meaning that there is no implication but posting the debit and crediting the same account and clearing the status of the line items from OPEN to CLEARED.
Hope I am clear.
Regards,
Ravi

Translation of Balance Sheet accounts at Period End Rate and Income Stateme

Hi All,
I have a requirement of Transalation of Balance Sheet accounts at Period End Rate and Income Statement Accounts at Average Rate.
How can we achieve this in oracle r 12.1.3
Regards,
Chirag

Hi Chirag
As per Oracle following are the rules that has to be followed for translation.
1. For Balance Sheet Accounts (Asset & Liabilities) GL as a default uses the YTD rule.
2. For P&L Accounts you can choose between YTD and PTD rule. So in your case you can use the default PTD Rule. (Profile Option 'GL Translation: Revenue/Expense Translation Rule')
YTD Rule = (Translated Period Amount = Period-End Rate x YTD Ledger Currency Balance - Beginning Translated Balance).
PTD Rule = (Translated Period Amount = Period Average Rate x PTD Ledger Currency Balance)
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Gautam

How to clear Prepayment account in the subledger

A prepayment amount of 1000 was paid to a supplier for the last month of the service contract using the profoma invioce. When the invoice for the last month was received it was 800. Now we have over paid the supplier by 200. when the refund is received, how do I clear the subledger with the difference?
Please assist

This is what I found in Oracle documentation-
To record a prepayment refund:
1.     In the Invoices window, enter an invoice in the amount of the refund from the supplier. Enter Standard for the type. Enter a description on the invoice to indicate that you are retiring a prepayment. Create an invoice distribution for the amount of the refund and debit your Cash account or an accounts receivable account. Credit the accounts payable liability account as always.
Approve the invoice.
2.     Choose the Actions button to navigate to the Invoice Actions window. Select the Apply/Unapply Prepayment check box and choose OK.
Select the prepayment to which you want to apply the refund. Enter the refund amount in the Amount To Apply field. Optionally change the GL Date, which is the accounting date for the reversing prepayment distributions that Payables creates when you apply a prepayment. If you want to see more information on a prepayment, select it and choose the Invoice Overview button.
If you want to approve the new prepayment distributions that the application will create and the Allow Online Approval Payables option is enabled, select Approve. If the Allow Online Approval Payables option is not enabled, you can submit Payables Approval from the Submit Request window.
If you want to print a Prepayment Remittance Advice for the supplier, select Print.
3.     Choose the Apply/Unapply button to apply the prepayment amount to the invoice you entered for the refund and to save your work.
This fully retires the prepayment and reduces the amount remaining on the invoice to 0. Payables automatically enters a reversing distribution on the prepayment to credit the prepayment account. This credit balances the debit you entered on the invoice (Step 1) to the Cash account.

Kkindly Help,
Urgent
Thank you

Hi,
There are two reason to get the above error message:
1. If Debit and Credit balances are not zero, you will get the above error message.
(It means that,if you are clearing with company code currency i.e. (without providing currency) via F-03 transaction code)
Solution: You have to choose Partial clearing/Residual clearing to transfer the difference (debit and credit amount) amount.
2. If Debit and Credit Balances are Zero.
(It means that, if you are clearing with non-company code currency ((with providing currency) via F-03 transaction code)
Solution: It goes to Exchange difference GL code automatically, if not you have to configure in the OB09 transaction code.

How to clear old accounts from iCal3 / CalDAV?

Minor thing, but can't seem to get iCal3 to remove a test account from the Accounts preference page. I created a test account when Leopard first appeared, but since have changed the server name / details and created a new account for the new data. But the old account information won't be deleted. If I highlight and click on ”-“ it disappears temporarily, but when I restart iCal it is back again...
Is there a plist somewhere I should edit?
Thanks in advance for help.

Connect the iPod to a charging source and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. It can take a few hours that is why it should be connected to a charging source.
Alternately you can connect the iPid to your computer. Log out of all iTunes accounts (iTunes>Store>Logout) and restore to factory settings/new iPod.

Clearing GL account

hi gurus,
how to clear gl account when we cancel the order if the order has an advance(down payment),
Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions

Hi,
For Receiving Advance Payment from Customers you need to define Special GL and in this Special GL you will define that to which GL the Advance will be posted against a Reconcialtion Account.
So while Clearing Customer's you need to give Customer Number and in Opem Item Selection you need to specifiy the Special GL Indicator for your Customer so once the Open Items are processed system will show normal line item and Special Gl also.
Hope it is clear to you now.

Enhancement Request for Period End Closing

Hi All,
When using Segmented Chart of Accounts, the Period End Closing procedure does not allow you to select different GLs from various companies.
The Trial Balance for example, does allow you to select the different GL sets by pressing Find in the Selection Criteria.
In cases where there is a different Retained Earnings accounts for each company on the same Chart of Accounts, you are forced to perform the Period End Closing on a single Retained Earnings account for ALL the companies.
Please can this be enhanced much like the Trial Balance.
Kind Regards
Tanveer

Tanveer,
you could try use more than one retained earning account. But in the report, there is expanded button where you can choose the posting various date. I also suggest to post your message to the other forum within business one forum as suggested in the note but I am not sure it will be fulfilled quickly. Maybe in the 2 or 3 or even 5 years later who knows.
Submit a ticket to SAP support to know the work around.

Period-End Closing with posting date

Hi gurus,
Tell me how to fix posting date when period-end closing. Where I can fix, assign ... Now our system, it's automatic.

Hi Andy,
Im using 2004, in 2004 you can not change the date that it carries the values over to. I highly doubt you'll be able in 2005. I'm taking a guess.....but the reason you want to do this is because the figures don't look right when you run the financial reports....hey? Before you execute financial reports tick the selection box "Add closing balances" i9n the selection window. Im assuming they still have this tick box in 2005.
Hope this helps.

Period End Closing does not allow closing by segments.

Period End Closing does not allow closing by segments for not-for-profit organizations that usually close their books to fund accounts. Period End Closing by segment will allow businesses and not-for-profit organizations to close their year by a segment and allow for more flexibility in closing each department, division, or fund.

Hello,
Thank you for your input. We will analyze it and consider for one of the future releases.

How to clear line items in accounts not managed on an open item basis

We are getting ready to archive FI accounting documents from years 1993-2002. We encountered a great deal of documents that did not archive during testing because the documents have open items. We were given bad advice in the beginning on how to set up accounts. Several accounts were not set up on an open item basis and these accounts will not get archived until the line items are cleared. We have set up new accounts to replace these accounts that are now being managed on an open item basis. Our FI users are unable to clear the documents using F-03. Does anyone have a way of clearing these type of documents (not managed on an open item basis)? Thank you in advance.

One of our users has proven that the line items on GL accounts not managed on an open item basis are not holding up the archiving. The reason for many documents not archiving is that the item posted to the vendor is still open.
thanks!
