ICR Process 003 Month-End Cut-off

We have implemented ICR process 003 in the 5.0 system. It seems that "posting period" relates to the period that the document was posted in ICR not necessarily to the customer account. How can we get a good month-end cut-off when new documents are posted all the time. For instance, when we run FBICS3, FBICA3, and FBICR3 after the new period begins, it will pull in documents created in the new period and all still open before in previous periods.

Hello Staci,
The period and year you enter on the selection screen is combined with the fiscal year variant maintained in your process customizing to derive a key date for open item selection. The open items are then selected in the sender system and stored in the year and period specified on the selection screen in the ICR database. This is also explained in the first message that is displayed in the log of data selection.
Best regards,
Ralph

Separate month end cut-off date

Hi,
I have 2 companies in a same clients.
These 2 companies would like to have separate month end cut-off date.
Please advice how to do it in OB29.

Hi,
You can do so.
You need to define two different posting period variant, where in the first one, for each month define the end date.
SAy if you define month 01 date 28 as period 01 and month 02 date 26 as period 02
Then period 02 will be from 29 jan to 26 feb.
Then assign these posting period variants to your company code in OBY6.
In that way you can differ the period end for two company codes.
Regard,
Gaurav

ICR Process 003 - question about data selection (table FBICRC003A)

Hello, I am implementing ICR process 003. We are doing several test and we I have some questions that I hope you can help me:
1 - If I run transaction FBICS3 - Customer/Vendor( Select Documents) and then FBICA3 - Customer/Vendor (Document Assignment ) several times (the same selection criteria) will the same documents be selected redundantly and will be stored redundantly in table FBICRC003A? I expected that this will not happen but It seems to happen in my test environment. (?)
2- If I need to delete the data stored in ICR '003' functionality I need to use transaction GCDE. The problem as I am using ledger '0L' for '003' process I cannot "delete data of one ledger" functionality -that allows to set selection data- and I have to "delete the data of an entire data group" that deletes all data stored in FBICRC003A & FBICRC003T tables. Should I set another ledger for '003' process in order to delete data using selection criteria? Is it recommended to not to use '0L' and create a new one?
I have read in reference documentation that "is not necessary to set up a SL", but since all my productive companies are running in the same client that is the ICR cliente I am wondering if could be better to create and set a SL.
Thanks in advance

Hi Ralph,
we have created a RFC in order to get data from client B to client A (where ICR system is placed). The summary is:
I need to import vendors/customer data from Client B that belongs to a certain company code "0001". The company is called "X" in both clients A & B although it only exists as a company code (FI) in Client B and just as a company (and trading partner) in client A.
Client A:
1- have set company "0001" as a "Company to be reconciled" at FBIC032:
RFC destination = ""
RFC destination for data selection = "ZRFC0001"
Local company= ""
Data Source="Documents of Current Process"
Separate Selection Process= "X"
Data Transfer Type="Asynchronous via Direct RFC Connection"
Sender field for reference number = "XBLNR"
Client B:
1- I have created the companies (V_T880) that I will need in order to inform trading partner on vendor's master data.
2- I have assigned company code '0001' to company "X"
3- I have assigned trading partners created on step 1 to vendors
4- I have post few FI documents with trading partners informed.
Then I run FBICS3 - Customer/Vendor: Select Documents in background but the programs takes a lot of time and do not select any document.
Do you think that I am missing something?
Thanks very much in advance.

ICR Process 003- Adding new field BVORG

Hi,
I am hoping Ralph will see this post and grant some of his wisdom. I have searched this forum as well as OSS and can't seem to find a good answer to my issue.
I am in the process of implementing the ICR Process 003 in our development system. I have added field BVORG for the purposes of matching, but it remains blank in FBICRC003A. I have done the following:
1. FBIC006- Added BVORG with the Sender field BVORG
2. FBIC004- Reactivated the Transaction data tables and can see BVORG was added
3. FBRC008- Verified BVORG is added as a Subassignment
I even started from scratch before this by deleting all data in FBICRC003A and Ledger I3. I realize old data may not be populated, but after the above configuration and activation, the BVORG field in the line items table still remains blank on new postings.
Any thoughts on what I may have missed? I did find one OSS Note 1405114, but this seems to apply to Process 002 not 003. Is there a corresponding note for Process 003 or another solution?
thanks in advance
Nathan

Hello John,
BVORG cannot be filled at the time of posting - just like the FI document number. This is why you cannot maintain this in the field movement.
This information is supplied by program FBICRC002_DOCNR_SELECT. The program is automatically executed in sender systems where data is picked up by data selection. If you post directly into your reconciliation ledger you need to execute the program yourself - a good time would be right before automatic assignment. If you have the corrections of note 1405114 applied to the program it will fill BVORG if the field exists in your ledger.
I do not understand why you would add that field to the totals table, though. This will result in a lot of additional entries in your totals table - one for each BVORG. You really should add this field to the line item table only!
Best regards,
Ralph

ICR Process 003 - FBICR3 - Display original FI document

Hello,
I am doing several test run of ICR Process 003 and I have found that, without any reason, sometimes functionality "display original FI document2 does not work when pushing the "button".
Am I doing something wrong? Is there any functional reason for this behaviour?
Thanks in advance

Hello Rafael,
There are a couple of notes available for this functionality:

How I can auto approve pending workflow process, once month end proces

I have created workflow process for timesheet approval.
I want to auto approve all pending timesheet (i.e (default notification timeout is 7 days) notification send to approver, but still not approved) in Oracle workflow Process, when Month end process started
Month end process will initiate a flag in pending timesheet header table with process started

I am not sure if I understand your requirements completely.
1) If your requirement is that all the pending timsheets have to be approved by month-end (not really when month-end process starts) then set the Timeout of the notification to Absolute Time of end of that month... so that by the end of the month the background engine will pick it up.
You may design the approval notification within a Sub-process with RESULT attribute of Approve / Reject. Design a Timeout transition for the Notification Activity within the sub-process that will go to an END activity that has Approve result. Thus once the notification times out, the sub-process will complete with result APPROVED.
2) One other way is to respond to OPEN notifications using APIs.
WF_NOTIFICATION.SetAttrText(nid, 'RESPOND', 'APPROVED');
WF_NOTIFICATION.Respond(nid);
You should have queried up all OPEN notifications for Timesheet approval and do this in a loop... which could be time-consuming sometimes.
Thanks

ICR Process 003

ICR process 003 - question about handling and ledger

Hello Ralph,
I have set up all customizing settings as described in the attachments of note 863630. When i execute FBICA3 now the system gets me the following results:
Company 001502/Partner 001501: Data records analyzed:         5
Company 001502/Partner 001501: Resulting unassigned company data records:         5
Company 001502/Partner 001501: Resulting unassigned partner data records:         0
Now i execute FBICR3 and I only get the company unassigned data records and not partner unassigned data records.
In f.2e this used to show up as well so the documents could be assigned manually.
Am I doing something wrong here?
And another question regarding the ledger: I have read in some of your statements as well as in a note that there is no need to set up a ledger. But to set up the attributes of the reconciliaton process 003 this is a mandatory entry for the reconciliation ledger. What exactly is the background of this type of ledger?
Thank you very much in advance for your support on this.
Kirsten

Hello Kirsten,
Re #1: As you can see from the log entries of FBICA3 the program only worked on 5 documents.
Company 001502/Partner 001501: Data records analyzed: 5
All 5 documents were documents posted by company 001502:
Company 001502/Partner 001501: Resulting unassigned company data records: 5
None of the documents were posted by 001501:
Company 001502/Partner 001501: Resulting unassigned partner data records: 0
Did you run FBICS3 for company 001501? Are there any open items relevant to ICR (VBUND > SPACE)?
Re #2: As explained in ICR_documentation.doc attached to note 863630 ( https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/863630 ) in chapter 3.1.2.1 Define Reconciliation Process Detail Attributes:
The ledgers you specify here do not actually have to be created in the Special Ledger customizing unless you want to use additional SL functions like reporting.
In order to enable later addition of general SL services you have to specify a ledger name. You can specify any ledger which has not been created yet. However, you should be careful not to create a ledger with this name for a different purpose later in time. If you do create ledgers in IMG activity Define Ledger you must set the properties of the ledgers as described in the documentation of that activity.
I hope this explains the logic satisfactorily.
Best regards,
Ralph

ICR Process 003 - Should postings be stopped during activation of database

In our first go-live of ICR we only use process 003 and have no additional special ledger in scope for this phase. We have seen a recommendation that all postings should be stopped during activation of database. Is that really also valid if we only consider our scope above.
Thanks for your comments!

Hello Istvan,
Even though you do not create a Special Purpose Ledger the ICR program still require the general SL posting framework to be generated. This can lead to issues if data is posted when the generation is performed.

Ralph

ICR Process 003 Uploads

We are currently running process 003 for ICR for all of our companies on SAP 6.0. I would like to incorporate the companies not on SAP via the upload of vendor and customer items feature. There doesn't seem to be mention of exactly how to do this in Note 1164059. It appears in FBIC032 I should select 2 Upload and Z other as part of the configuration there, but what else needs to be done?
Ralph - are you able to help? I tried searching sap wiki and also an note but no one will help.
Edited by: Staci Baker on Apr 13, 2011 1:23 AM

Hello Staci,
When you select Upload as the data source you also have to specify a DDIC structure as a reference. Please check the following thread:

MONTH VIEW CUT OFF AT MARGINS WHEN PRINTED

I've seen some archived threads about this--it appears to be unresolved, but I'll ask again anyway, just in case.
When I print month calendars on letter-size paper, the printing at the left and top edges of the calendar is cut off.
Why, and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
T.W.

I didn't have this resolved. It's been so long with no answer, I'm taking it down.

Reverse Revaluation Process after month end

Hi All,
I want to ask is it a common practice to reverse the revaluation postings done by FAGL_FC_VAL after the month end process? If so, that means the revaluation process is just giving us a better estimate of the outstanding AR and AP amount in the balance sheet to make it more accurate. Is this correct?
Thanks.

Hi,
Foreign Currency Valuation is needed for all open items (G/L, A/R and A/P) as per different Accounting Standards so that Balance Sheet of the entity displays correct Profit or Loss for the period.
However since the items are still open its advisable to reverse the valuation on the 1st day of the next period. That's why in FAGL_FC_VAL, system would posts to Unrealized Exch Gain /Loss Account.
There is an exception though to the Account with balance in Foreign Currency like Main Bank Account. In this case the difference in Foreign Currency needs to be posted to Exch Gain / Loss Realized Account.
Once the item gets cleared automatically system posts to Exch Gain / Loss Realized Account.
Regards,
Sanjay

Start/End Cut Off

I've noticed in Encore CS 4 and 5.5, when I dynamically link from Premiere Pro (havent tried not dynamically linking yet) that the first half second and the last half second get cut off.
To compensate I just add a second of black at the start and at the end.
Not a big deal, but it gets annoying when I forget and it cuts out half way through my fade in/out.
Anyone else get this? Is this normal? Any settings I should adjust?

I agree with Jim comptletely. Many high-end decks take about 02 sec. to lock into the Audio, as well.
The Black Video at the start, and end has a second benefit - when changing Timelines, etc., there is often a black "flash," as the laser repositions. That will happen during the black, so the user will never see it.
Good luck,
Hunt

ICR Process 003 Open Items GL accounts

Hello,
I have a problem getting our open items GL accounts to be selected under Process 003 using transaction FBICS3. I have run FBIC and included open items GL accounts in Process 003 and have run FBIC031 and have unchecked tables FBICRC003A (should I check table FBICRC001A?). I have run FBIC004 successfully and have removed ledger 0L from process 003 in FBIC010. I have checked the Local company field for all companies in FBIC032. Finally, I have set up the Data Sets for our GL accounts and customers and vendors and set up the groups and sub-groups.
When I run the Select Documents FBICS3 I get all my IC cusotmer and vendor documents, however get an error message for the Open Item GL accounts that says the "group account could not be determined". The long text says to "complete the assignment of the operational accounts to the group accounts". What did I miss and where do I do this assignment?
Gary Pajkos

Hello Gary,
Actually you can include GL open items in process 003 (and vice versa). In FBIC032 you create a new entry for each company and select the data source GL Open Items.
