How to correct journals for non inventory items

Hi All,
One of my client by mistake made a non-inventory item as an inventory item and used FIFO valuation.
Now he has created some 30 purchase invoices, goods receipt PO for it in the last month.
While doing month end they reconcillation they realized the inventory numbers are bloated and found this problem.
Now they have cancelled the old item defination and created a new one.
But the problem is how to correct the journal entries for the what has already been done.
Problem is that Cost of this item is wrong because it got created as a inventory item and was using FIFO.
Please suggest a fastest route to correct this problem.

Divam

Hi Divam........
I guess Inventory revaluation is not possible in case of Non Inventory Item. You must take the goods return on GRN basis......

GRPO for Non-Inventory Items

Hi Mentors,
This is again the issue on doing a GRPO(Item Type) of a non-inventory item not creating a JE. Based on inventory perspective, there is nothing to update in the warehouse stock level. But from an accounting perspective, it should debit inventory expense account and credit "Goods Received not invoiced" account?
I'm not an accountant so I'm not sure if my reasoning/understanding on this is correct. Please do enlighten me on this.
We have a GRPO which does not have any JE tied to it, how will such a transaction be Invoiced? The "Copy to AP Invoice" or "Copy From GRPO" does not seem to work? The base document of the GRPOs are POs', and the POs' themselves don't have a tied JE.
Currently using SAP B1 2004B and will be upgrading to 8.81 soon. As I checked the forums, this would be a normal feature of B1. Based on this [link|Re: J/E for Goods Receipt P.O.] here in the forums.
I want to have a clear conceptual understanding of this, inventory and accounting wise, so I can explain this to the concerned parties in the company.
Thanks in advance!
Sean

Hi Sean......
System is behaving properly as per its logic. Infact it does same in all the previous or upcoming versions.
If you have Item Type GRPO for Non Inventory Item it does not create any accounting but you can see the same during AP invoice.
GRPO for such type is only optional. For further clarification you can discuss this with your CA what he suggests. But i suggest you to raise AP invoice also for getting Account effect. Just see doing this in test DB you get your answer......

Credit memo for non inventory item

Hi MM consulatnats,
My client need to know the best practices to handle teh credit memo for non inventory item ??
We have two options like FB65 in FI part where it wont update in PO history.
In MIRO also we can make credit memo w.r.to PO.
What they want to know is if FB65 is the correct way to do this to fully reverse the effect that the receipt and invoicing of the item had on the financial accounts.
What is the best pracise to adopt ??
Need your views
Thanks
A.Gururajan

Hi,
You can use MIRO for credit Memo with ref to PO.
This will update both PO history as well as your FI accounts/Vendor Balance.
Thanks & Regards,

GR/IR Clearing for Non-Inventory Items in PO

Hi all,
Can anybody explain if GR/IR reconciliation can be done for non-inventory items in PO. For example, I've raised a PO for a service and received invoice before the service is delivered (little hypothetical, of course, but incase).
If so, will it show in the same MR11?
Thanks
durga.

Hi,
First of all , in case of Service ,Only SR/IR reconcilation can be done.....second ,if your service is not delivered then you can give advance against service PO.

Formatted Search - Calculate GP Base Price for Non Inventory Items

Hi Experts,
On one of our customer's 8.8 PL 15 installation, requirement was to calculate GP for Non Inventory Items (on SO screen). Since SAP does not automatically calculates it we proposed and implemented following solution.
1. Have all Non Inventory Items to be costed at Standard cost so that you can manually enter the cost in the Item Master.
2. Write following formatted search on GP Base Price field so as to calculate the GP Base Price for the Non Inventory Items only. The formatted search must not make any changes to Inventory Items as we want system to calculate the GP automatically (just in case cost changes from SO to Delivery or Invoice).
DECLARE @II AS nVarchar(1)
DECLARE @COST AS Numeric(19,2)
SET @II = (SELECT OITM.InvntItem FROM OITM WHERE OITM.ItemCode = $[RDR1.ItemCode])
SET @COST = (SELECT (OITW.AVGPrice * $[RDR1.NumPerMsr]) FROM OITW WHERE OITW.ItemCode = $[RDR1.ItemCode] AND
OITW.WhsCode = $[RDR1.WhsCode])
IF (@II = 'N')
BEGIN
SELECT @COST
END
3. Formatted search achieves what was originally required however if a user overwrites the Item Code (Inventory Item) in the SO then above formatted search clears the GP Base Price field and sets the GP basis for the item as "Manual". By obverwrite means user first selected item A0001 on line 1 and then entered A0002 on same line i.e. Line 1.
My question here is what is wrong in the formatted search that is resulting in this behaviour.
Any questions please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Devinder

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for taking out time to help me however Key requirement here is
Write formatted search on GP Base Price field so as to calculate the GP Base Price for the Non Inventory Items only.
Your query sets the base price for GP Base Price for Inventory Item to ZERO and Base Price By to Manual.
Note that my Formatted search has a problem only when an Inventory Item line is overwritten. I am not sure if this is a problem with SAP itself rather than my query.
Any other ideas please?
Regards
Devinder

Hello,
I guess you should generate a Service type credit note. Do not copy the invoice
to the credit note. This will cause a reverse stock transaction and will close the invoice. To solve this problem, please perform the following steps:
   1. Go to AR/Sales in the command center.
   2. Click on "credit" note and select "service" on the top left of your window.
   3. Select the customer you want to issue a credit note for.
   4. In the column "description" type in the item invoice number.
   5. Select account code and price.
   6. Add credit note to the system by pressing the add button.
I've got those steps from SAP notes.
Rgds,

Need negative quantity non-inventory items on Credit Memo

Version: (2007A)
Description of requirements: (Please provide a detailed description)
Our customer issues many invoices with a negative quantity line item for a miscellaneous non-inventory item. These non-inventory items are used to reduce the amount of the invoice regarding miscellaneous credits to their customers. These are not discounts.
When the customer wants to credit these invoices, they canu2019t create a Credit Memo based on the invoice because SAP wonu2019t allow this if there are line items with negative amounts.
When they create a credit memo not based on an invoice, they arenu2019t allowed to enter a negative quantity for a line item as they are for an Invoice. They are forced to create a credit memo not based on an invoice the inventory item line items and an invoice or Journal Entry for the negative quantity line item to debit back the miscellaneous line amount.
As an example:
Invoice line item one for inventory item: qty one, price 100,line total $100.00
Invoice line item two non-inventory item misc credit: quanity -1, price 10, total -$10.00
Invoice Total $90.00
In Order to provide the correct credit amount, they have to create a Credit Memo not based on an invoice for line item one, qty one, price 100 u2013 value -100 and an invoice for the non-inventory item for qty one, price 10 - value 10.00.
This creates a net credit for the customer of 90.00
This looks ridiculous to their customers when they see these transactions on their statements, creates extra work for the users and there is no link between the three documents.
By using inventory items for these miscellaneous credits, they can assign a sales revenue of their choice. They have multiple sales accounts and the GL posting is determined by the item group for the item. By assigning the desired item group to these non-inventory items, they can control which sales account is updated on their marketing documents when using these non-inventory items.
If they were to use the Freight items, they would need a separate freight setup entry for combination of item group and miscellaneous credit. Because they have so many Item Groups and types of credits, they would need a great many separate Freight Charges to choose from.
All of the above pertains to all of our customers. This customer has a custom add-on and their marketing documents are all created from custom objects. They hit a button on the custom sales contract screen and an invoice is created. When they hit another button on the screen, the selected invoice is credited. They have legally binding contracts for fixed quantities to be shipped, so we decrease the quantity shipped when creating an invoice and decrease the quantity shipped when a credit memo is created. The contract is fulfilled when the exact quantity contracted for has been shipped. Because the credit memo fails, we canu2019t update the custom objectu2019s remaining to be shipped, rendering it inaccurate from that time forward. (reducing the quantity shipped is part of the Credit Memo creation process).Creating Credit Memos and Invoices from the interface fixes the inventory count, customer balance, etc., but we have no way of fixing the sales contractu2019s quantity shipped & remaining to be shipped or linking the contracts to the documents created from the interface.
Business needs: (Please describe the impact on your business, if the functionality is not realized)
Examples: (Please describe a typical example, how the functionality should work.)
Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do, so that credit memos can be based on invoices that have negative quantity non-inventory line items.
Current Workaround: (Please describe the workarounds you are using at the moment)
Please see above
Proposed solution: (Please suggest how the new functionality should work)
Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do.

Purchasing - A/P Transaction Processing for Services and Non Inventory Item

On of the main areas of concern that businesses have is in the area of Purchasing, Goods Receipts and AP Invoices Processing - There is a requirement that businesses have widely referred to as 3-way matching.
While SAP Business One has this functionality covered quiet well via the following, there is still some need for enhancements so that the application can correctly reflect the AP Accruals:
- Purchase Order processing with Approval Process (if configured)
- Ability to perform Goods Receipts for Services.
- Matching of AP Invoices to Goods Receipts with AP Invoice Approval Process (if configured)
The above transactions serve the 3-way matching quiet well for all purchases however when it comes to accuring for Services that have been provided, the application does not do this. The Goods Receipt transaction processing to acknowledge the service delivery is allowed however the related posting to the allocation account is missing.
The process that is followed by the application is same for Items that have not Inventory Items in Item Master.
As a result of the above, the business have to manually work out what the Accurals for services provided but not invoiced should be.
With little enhancement to the product this shortfall could very easily be overcome.

Hi,
Once there are transactions, we cannot make existing Inventory type item to Non Inventory type item.
Check SAP note:937297 which states as follows :
Symptom
Changing the status of the Inventory Item checkbox (in Item Master Data) for items with inventory transactions and documents, might lead to inaccuracies in the calculations of inventory value.
Other terms
Inventory Item, Non-inventory Item, Item Master Data, Continuous Stock, Perpetual Inventory, Inventory Valuation, 2004, 2005, 2005 A SP01
Reason and Prerequisites
Consulting Note
Solution
The status of an item (Inventory Item/Non-Inventory item as selected in the Inventory Item checkbox in the Item Master Data window), cannot be changed once an A/P, A/R, or Inventory document is posted for the item.

Journal Entry for non-stock Item while Good Receipt PO

In accordance to Accounting Rules, the EXPENSES of non-stock item purchase should be recognize
upon Good Receipt PO, journal entry should be created at the point time of GRN instead of invoice.
We would like to see this as part of the SBO standard accounting process as it is also important for
us to make sure the the software process is comply to the Standard Accounting Rules.
Thank you and Warmest regards,

Hi Martin,
I fully agree with this requirement. In Australia, the tax Office is asking us to recognise the expense in the profit and loss at the time of receiving products or services.
With SAP Business One, receipting inventory products through the GR PO will create a simpel journal entry:
Debit Stock
Credit Goods Receipt Not Invoiced
In the context of non inventory items, SAP Business One should do exactly the same:
Debit Expense account of the service item
Credit the Allocation Account (GRNI or other)
Currently, we have to create a big journal entry at the end of the month to recognise the expense of services that we have received but we have not received the invoice.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me so we can discuss.

Vincent Motte

Picking non inventory items for delivery

hello
Can anyone help us with the following issue :
- in our deliveries we have both inventory items and non inventory items (freight lines, software). Non inventory items have to appear in the same delivery document as the inventory items
- we cannot create those non-inventory items in inventory as they cannot appear in any stocktake
- the picklist doesn't accept to release non-inventory items for picking
Any idea ?
Fabrice

Hi Fabrice,
Just an idea. Will it work if you create the non-inventory items in your item master data as just a sales and purchasing item, but not an inventory item? That way you can include it along with your inventory items without having any impact in your stocks. One issue is that the non-inventory item will not be shown in your pick and pack, but you can print a copy of your sales order as a pick list.

We created a PO few month ago. PO with expenses item (account assignment K, charge to cost center). We have performed GR, IR, Payment to vendor. Now, business request to capitalize it to Asset, instead of charge out.
We are impossible to reverse payment, reverse GR, and amend the PO.
Please suggest me how to capitalise this non inventory item to asset? Thanks

Go to F-02
Dr PK = 70 and Account is your asset ; Transaction type = 100
Cr PK = 50 and Acccount is your GL account where you posted earlier

How to Link Sales Order for Non Purchase items to Purchase Order

Hi,
I am using SAP 2007A SP01 PL05.
I am creating a Sales Order for Non Purchase Items where i have 3 companies involved.
1. Owner of the Product
2. Transport Agent
3. Customer
Owner Sells to the Customer non Purchase Items manufactured internally.
Owner buys transports services from the Agent for these non purchase items.
I am creating a Sales Order for the Customer and at the same time i want to create a Purchase Order to the Transport Agent.
How do i Link Sales Order to a Purchase Order for Transport.
The Transport Charges are not to be Charged to the Customer and should not be added to the Sales Order.

Hi
Create purchase Item frieght in the purchase tab enter the transporter. include this in the sales order and in the logistic tab of sales order active purchase order check box, you frieght item will have a value of 0. when you create sales order the the system will lead you to create purchase order. there you can enter the price of freight. you can explore options there.
hope this will help you.. by doing this your base ref for PO would be Sales order.

How to identify Inventory and non inventory items

Dear all,
what are the ways to differentiate inventoried and non inventoried items.
please advise. thanks.
Thanks and regards
Udaya

he means the purchase order item category which can be seen in transaction ME23N.
You never made clear if you want differentiate in SAP or the physical stock in the warehouse.
As already explained by another one, in SAP you can procure one material number either to stock or to be expensed immediatly while receiving.
However, physically you dont see any difference, you have to take organizational measures to not store expensed material together with material procured to stock.
Even further, you should try to receive items which are not procured to be stored, at a different physical receiving place.
In MIGO transaction at item detail in tab WHERE you will see a storage location if the material is to be stored in your warehouse, but you will not see a location if the material is procured directly to a project or cost center. then you see a receipient instead .
