Incorrect cuurency translation difference - Manual journal

Hi,
Our business users posted number of manual journals and subsequent reversals in local currency and group currency. They did not follow the correct procedure of copying LC to GC and running currency translations. Many steps were performed out of turn.
On our investigation we found that system has posted a currency translation difference in group currency of 200k in translation difference account. The balance in local currency is zero.
As per our configuration we use current rate for reference translation and average rate for specific translation and key figure as period value in LC. There are no historic posting in the cons pc. This is the first period of posting.
We wish to reverse out the translation difference, however, system wan't allow us to manually journal the difference ?. Is there a way to clear out the difference?.
KIndly advise

Hi,
In the copy method you must add "rounding method" in the method translation.
Do you sure that your method for currency tarnslation is correct, this means: rounding method is added into method currency transflation?
And documents type with posting level 01-10 must use only local currency (obligatory) and transaction currency (optimal).
When documents type have use group currnecy, these documents are not currency translation by the system, during make task copy document.

Exchange rate differences posting failed due to manual journal entries

when i run exchange rate differences and try to post the result, system shows "No matching recording found 'journal entry' (OJDT) (ODBC-2028) [message 131-183]" at the bottom panel ane the posting was failed. then i found the problem is actually from manual journal entries made to a business partner. as long as i deselect the manual journal entries, the posting was successfully done.
i am using B1 2007B with pl09. is this standard in B1 2007B that exchange rate differences posting does not work with manual journal entries of BP?

you are right! it is a bug in 2007B.
The posting has no problem if the base reference number is same as the transaction number in the manual JE document. however, if we define a numbering series which is different from the transaction serial number, then we have problem with the posting. System searchs for the JE records by using base reference number as transaction number. That is why it could not find the JE document and then report the error message.
so, where should i post the bug to SAP and let them fix the bug as soon as possible?
thanks for the help!

FC - Cross-category validation in Central Manual Journal Entries

Hello experts,
At a client site we are implementing several different reporting categories. There are requirements to validate certain accounts between categories.
Within the packages this is working fine - example:
But when used in Central Journals the controls behave differently.
In our issue there is a JE posted on the Category "IFRS-ACT". We then try to post a journal on a different category (same ledger) and want to validate to make sure we are balanced between both.
The control runs OK and recognises that there is a difference between the amounts stored in the separate categories but does not bring the amount stored on the category that it is validating against:
Can anyone offer any advice on how to resolve the issue? Or is it not possible?
Many thanks!

Hello,
This is a known behavior. Controls and formulas using
external data (data from another category) are not applied to local and central manual
journal entries.

Emna.

Currency translation differences with an effect on earnings

Product Version: SAP R/3 46.C
Componente: EC-CS-CSF-E Currency Translation
In currency translation program of ECCS (tx CX40) the prior year portion of translation differences that affects earnings is posted in current period in the earnings retain item (ER) which according to SAP documentation "Currency translation differences with subsequent consolidations" is correct, however when we run the currency translation on subsequents periods this amount is posted again generating a multiplying of differences on each period.
In accordance with section u201CBu201D of SAP note 553586, the carryforward item (retain earnings) was assigned to translation key 5, to avoid multiplications of this difference in every execution of currency translation for current period. This correction was applied successfully, however the problem is now generated when we run the currency translation in every subsequent period.
SAP notes 582815 and 553586 was applied succesfully.
We also verified SAP note 1045402 changing the translation key 5 to 1, for balance carryforward item (retained earnings) this avoids the difference effect on subsequents periods, but generates a translation differential effect undesired on this item, since this is a historical item that not must be altered by currency translation.
Additionally we read SAP note 509509 and we think that this issue corresponds whit symptom 2 of that note.
Step by Step:
Transaction: CX40
Setting of Translation SET in translation method:
1.- MARS-GAP-Monetary:
1.1.- Items of balance sheet
1.2.- Translation Key 1
1.3.- Item for differences: income statement item with an effect on earnings
2.- MARS-GAP-NonMonetary
2.1.- Items of balance sheet
2.2.- Translation Key 6
2.3.- Item for differences: income statement item with an effect on earnings
3.-MARS-MOR-Monetary
3.1.- Items of P&L
3.2.- Translation Key 5
3.3.- Item for differences: income statement item without an effect on earnings
4.-MARS-MOR-NonMonetary
4.1.- Items of P&L
4.2.- Translation Key 6
4.3.- Item for differences: income statement item without an effect on earnings
5.- MARS-HIST
5.1.- Items of balance sheet
5.2.- Translation Key 6
5.3.- Item for differences: Balance sheet item without an effect on earnings
6.- ANI-BS-FX
6.1.- Items of differences SET MARS-HIST and Carryforward Item for special items in transaction CXD3, the same item for the balance carryforward (retained earnings)
6.2.- Translation Key 5
6.3.- Item for differences: Balance sheet item without an effect on earnings (the same item for the SET MARS-HIST)
7.- ANI-BS
7.1.- The special balance sheet item in Transaction CXD3
7.2.- Translation Key 5
7.3.- Item for differences, the same item
8.- ANI-IS
8.1.- The special income statement item in Transaction CXD3
8.2.- Translation Key 5
8.3.- Item for differences, The same item
Note:
1 .- According to the point A of the note 553586 was included the FS Item 484051011(difference item for SET MARS-HIST) in the conversion SET ANI-BS-FX
2 .- According to Section B of the note 553586 was included the account for carried forward 481000001 the special accounts set up in the transaction CXD3 in the conversion SET ANI-BS-FX
3 .- According to Section C of note 553586 are included special accounts set up in the transaction CXD3 390000 and 251200, in the conversion SET ANI-IS and ANI-BS respectively.
When run the currency translation in the new year 1-2011, the prior year portion of translation differences that affects earnings is posted in current period a credit to earnings retain and debit to account difference in SET for this account. This amount is same on special balance sheet item 251200, in tx CXD3, also found on the statistical FS item.
Then in subsequent periods, 2 - 2011 it posting another credit to earnings retain and debit to account difference in SET for this account, generating a multiplying of differences on each period, even though the difference for this account (ER) in the log of the translation currency is equal to the difference posted to the previous period, show this in transaction CX34 for items of translation (1) for this account until 1-2011.

Hi,
just a information how I did a workaround about this:
The opening (movement type 100) of the balance sheet item "differences of currency translation" is customized with "don't change...".
Every increase to "differences of currency translation" works with e.g. movement type 120 and will be carried forward to 100.
Maybe this is a scenario you can use...

Is it possible to make the attachment icon on my journals form a compulsary step when creating a new manual journal entry?

Good day,
Our company uses EBS 11.5.10.2. The company has a policy whereby any new manual journal needs to have the supporting documentation attached to it, using the attachment icon in the task bar.
Users sometimes forget to do this, though. This has now prompted management to request that we try and make this process of attaching a document when creating a new manual journal compulsary to the process.
Is this possible on the current version we are running on?

Well, that depends on if you are using client/server or web. Currently there is a bug being investigated, which is preventing the cursor size from being altered. For client/server, do the following on the client machine (assuming Windows):
Control Panel > Accessibility Options > Display > Cursor Width
By increasing the width, the cursor will be more visible. The same is expected to work on the web, but currently is problematic and being investigated.

Audit Report Fix (Manual Journal Entries for Inventory)

Hello!
Curious if anyone has been able to fix an inventory audit report using journal entries?
For example: if an item was on inventory account 1500 based on it's item group assignment, then say 20 items are received for $1 each, then 5 are sold at $1 then the item group is switched and now it has an inventory account of 1520 and 5 more items are issued out.
Running the audit report summarizing by accounts will show $15 as the balance in 1500 and -5 in 1520. So when we go to actually check the accounts to reconcile them at the end of a period, our inventory accounts are always off.
I have identified manual journal entries meant to 'fix' a GL account, but these have made the audit report basically unusable for reconciliation.
Is there a way to journalize a change in the inventory accounts while making the change occur in OINM as well??
I have looked through several expert empowerment sessions that acknowledge this as a problem, but do not offer any solutions.
Thanks!
Mike

Hi Mike:
Changing Item groups while inventory is on hand is a problem. I have found a way to correct this, but it is a multi step process. I would try this in DEMO first to make sure you get the proper results.
Try this.
Below is the procedure for correcting the G/L Accounts on your Inventory Audit Report It is complicated and needs to be performed when no other users are in the system. Journal entries will not correct this problem.
Here it is.
1.     Review Inventory Audit Report by Summarize by Accounts for the item.
2.     Do a Misc. Issue to remove the inventory.
3.     Review Inventory Audit Report again.
4.     Change the Acct # on the Item Group for the Inventory Item to match the negative value account number. CAUTION! Make sure that users are not performing transactions on the system when you do this.
5.     Do another Good Receipt for 1 each at price shown in Negative value account number. Enter as a positive number.
6.     Re-run the Inventory Audit to confirm that the negative account has been zeroed out.
7.     Change Item Group Inventory account to remaining positive value account number.
8.     Do an Inventory Issue for quantity of 1 each.
9.     Re-run the Inventory Audit Report for the item. All accounts should now have zero value.
10.     Change Item Group account setting back to correct account for future.
I hope it works for you.

Vicki Smith

Difference between Journal batch,journal header and journal line

Hi,
Can someone explain what the difference between Journal batch, Journal header and journal line are?
Can we post only one batch at a time?

Hi,
Journal Batch means it contains batch name, description, status, running total debits and credits, and other information.
Journal Headers means it contains batch ID, the journal entry name
and description, and other information about the journal entry.
Journal Lines means it contains journal entry header ID, the line number, the associated code combination ID, and the debits or credits associated with the journal line.
So here is the replationships.
Batch--- 1 to many -- Headers
Headers -- 1 to many -- Lines.

Error within Manual Journal Posting

Dear All,
Presently I am using Oracle R12.1.1. While making Manual Journal Posting I am getting the below error.
Error6 - Showing an unbalanced journal entry but suspense not allowed
Kindly guide to solve this issue.
Regards
HP

Hi Hitesh,
In R12 the functionality for suspense accounting is slightly changed: having an account code entered at ledger level means suspense accounting is enabled.There is no longer a checkbox to enable/disable suspense accounting.
To define a suspense account:
1. Navigate to the Suspense Accounts window.
2. Specify the Ledger.
3. Specify the Source and Category that applies to the suspense account you are defining.
The default suspense account you specified when you defined your ledger appears with the source and category Other. You can define additional suspense accounts using Other for either the source or the category, but not both.
Note that if you update the suspense account in the Ledger Options page in Accounting Setup Manager, the default suspense account is updated in the Suspense Accounts window. Likewise, if you update the default account in the Suspense Accounts window, the account in the Ledger Options page is updated.
4. Enter the Account against which the balancing amount should be posted. You can assign multiple unique combinations of source and category to a single account.

Manual Journal entry limitations in sap b1

Hi friends,
We are creating Manual JE in sap b1. We give the access only two users for creating Manual JE. Now we will plan one more thing . Limitation of JE . it is means, per user we will go to allow only 1000 manual journal entries only creating by the user. if they reached their limitation we block that . How i will block ? Is it possible in sap b1 ? or any store procedure is there?

Number of Journal Entries could be limited by giving user specific document numbering series for a particular user.
Hope this helps.

Ensuring Manual journal cannot be posted to the AR sub ledgers

How do i ensure that manual journal entries cannot be posted to the AR and AP sub ledgers? Thanks!

This will depend on roles to which a user(s) has been assigned. you take out GL specific roles from user. Then you have to make sure that AP-AR roles assigned to a user(s) doesn't have journal entry transactions like FB01, FB50 etc.
Please take help of the authorization person. or you can start by analyzing specific AP-AR users using transaction SU01 to find out what type of roles are assigned to them.
Thanks

Park and Post management review step for manual journal entries

We are implementing SAP and want to discuss the best way to automate in SAP a high dollar/value (maybe $100K and above) "park and post" management review step for posting manual journal entries. I believe SAP does not offer dollar/value limits as standard functionality for defining a park & post process. If this correct, what have you seen from your other clients using SAP park & post? Is there a different way to get where we want without customizing a workflow or generating a new transaction set?

Hi you could limit the authorisation for the users only to park and then a responsible person could review it and post. You can set a tolerance limit for customers and vendors.

Currency translation differences

Dear SDNers,
I have an issue concerning the currency translation differences.
In a step, I have, in the "Specific Translation" Tab selected the following characteristics :
1) 2 Items : A (BDC 1) and B (BDC 2)
2) MT cat : M1 and M2, because A and B have different BDC (BDC 1 allows M1 and BDC 2 allows M2)
3) Movement type : 141 (belongs to M1 and M2)
The Currency translation Diff has to be stored in the Movement type 142. My problem is that I should theorically put in the "Differences tab" :
MT cat : M1 and M2
Movement type : 142
BUT : I can only put one single MT Cat ! No complex selection allowed...
Do you have any hint to avoid that ? Because MT cat and Mtype are compounded => If I only put M1 and 142, the system can not be able to post for the item B....
Do I have to create 2 steps?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Thibaud

Hi,
Thanks for reply,
I had time to do some tests, and I am sorry, you are wrong :
the system displays a warning and adjust automatically according to what is written in the BDC of the account.
Anyway, thanks for your help

Is it possible to automatically trigger a Manual Journal Entry?

Hi Forum,
This could apply to any situation:
Suppose when I create an A/R invoice, I would like another manual journal entry to be created automatically. Is this possible and how could it be achieved?
Thank you.

Hi Mahendra and Gordon:
This is the situation:
Relates to DropShip Order:
1.Client create DropShip Sales Order (against drop ship warehouse).
2. DropShip Sales Order generates PO (Note no liability accounts are hit)
3. Client wants to invoice their drop ship customer immediately by emailing A/R invoice.
This mean the revenue accounts are already hit and our client has registered a revenue.
Problem : However liability accounts are not hit and our client may not receive A/P invoice for say 2 weeks. This means the books show exagerated revenue.
I suggested - A/P reserve invoice to be created immediately, but it needs to be canceled which leaves original PO in closed state in 8.8.
Second method I suggested to create a manual journal entry to hit deferred liability account to be reversed in two weeks. The client says, this is backoffice job and they do not want them to have access to journal entries.
In anycase, whatever reason, our client will change business practice, however, I thought let me check what it takes to create manual deferred liability auto reversal entry automatically.
Is there any other way to handle this situation?
Thanks.
Edited by: Syed Aleem on Jun 24, 2011 3:13 PM
As soon as A/R invoice is created, a deferred payable needs to be updated also automatically at the same time. This is the requirement.
