Inter Segment in New GL

Hello,
I have some queries about Segment reporting in New GL:
1. Do we do Inter Segment trade eliminations when doing Segment Level reporting
2. What is the fuction of Segment Balancing splitter account
3. What are the processes to complete when doing Segment Reporting. (The client has 5 segments defined)
Thanks

Hi
The Segment reporting in NEW G/L doesn't have the function of elimination of the inter segment entries, it will fetch the results based on the charecteristics "segment" updated in the document.
If you want to eliminate the inter segment entries then you should go for a custom report by providing your own logic by using FAFLFLEXT & FAGLFLEXA tables.

Segments in New GL

Can someone please tell me what are segments in New GL. I have read somewhere they are derived from Profit Center. So what exactly are they and what is their use?

Hi,
Lets take one small example.
Consider Car industry.
You willl have SUV, Luxury, Small car are the segments.
Of this If I geographically want to know the profitability like South , north etcs. these become profict centers.
In the profit center master data you have the segment feild where you will assign teh segent to profit center.
It implies that one segment can have many profit centers and one profit center can only belong to one segment.
For better understanding of the segmental reporting go through the following links.

Write off FICA documents with no segments after New GL has been activated

Hi Gurus,
The scenario we are facing is as follows"
The client had already implemented FICA as part of its legacy, but SAP FICO was not implemented. As part of the new framework, we are implementing SAP FICO as well, while at the same time New GL is now being activated.
All ancillary configurations have been maintained for deriving profit center/segment information on main and sub transactions through use of CO Account assignment key.
Issue:
The issue we are facing now is that, while writing off (FP04) any FICA document which has a profit center/segment information, we are able to write it off. But any FICA document which does not have segment information, we are getting the error "Segment Missing"
Probable Solutions:
1) Tried maintaining the value as "2" (Account Assignment) at the following node:
FICAIMG-->Business transactions--> Define specifications for Write-offs
This solution did not help us in writing off the FICA document
2)Custom logic in event 5030?
Custom logic can be maintained in the FM at event 5030, where we should be able to derive the profit center/segment info. based on the business area
Please let me know if any other options can be tried and also if the custom logic at event 5030 should help us resolve the write off issue?

Hi, I have the same laptop and had the same problem.
I have solved it by adding the following arguments to the kernel command line:
acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor
Note: acpi_osi only did the trick, but then the backlight service fails. acpi_backlight fixes the service.

Cancel the release and change the z segment in new version.

Hi,
I have a Z segment created in 4.6c.
Now we have upgraded to ECC and i want to change one of the field ( i.e data element of the field ) and I am not able to change it.
It gives me the hard error. I am unable to cancel the relase and do the modication.
If I try to add a version it doesnt accept it with out any additonal fields.
I have tried deleting the segemnt in Basic type and tried deleting the whole segemnt, but it doesn accept this way too.
Any ideas how to go about it?
Thanks,
Krishna.

Hello,
I had a similar problem when I tried to delete fields from a segment. I also wasn't able to cancel the release of the segment and the release of the extended idoc type.
The reason seems to be that the idoc extension and the segment have been set to "released" in a lower release version of the sap-system.
I was able to edit the segment when I changed the corresponding table entry in EDISDEF and set the release to the current one. However that is no solution I would like to propose.
Anyway the problem could have something to do with the release of the the sap-system. In this case I would be glad if someone could offer a solution which is more close to the standard than editing the system tables directly.

ORA-01581: attempt to use rollback segment (5) new extent (67) which is being allocat

While importing a table, I got the following errors. Basically, the server couldn't extend the rollback segment. I checked the disk space, tablespace extents (unlimited), and segment extents (unlimited), but I couldn't find a reason that the segment couldn't be extended.
What else do I have to check?

As I understand it, you can not explicitly set the size for the undo segments in automatic undo management mode. From the Concepts guide:
"In automatic undo management mode, the system controls exclusively the assignment of transactions to undo segments, and controls space allocation for undo segments."
It looks like we are also using the default storage options that are set when the UNDO tablespace was created. Here is the DDL used to create this tablespace:
CREATE SMALLFILE UNDO TABLESPACE "UNDOTBS" DATAFILE '/alpha/oradata/prod01/undotbs01.dbf' SIZE 750M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 25600K MAXSIZE 2000M , '/alpha/oradata/prod01/undotbs03.dbf' SIZE 2000M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 51200K MAXSIZE 2000M , '/alpha/oradata/prod01/undotbs04.dbf' SIZE 2000M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 104K MAXSIZE 2000M , '/alpha/oradata/prod01/undotbs02.dbf' SIZE 2000M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 25600K MAXSIZE 2000M

Partner Segment as part of New GL function for consolidation purpose

Dear SAP colleagues,
I have the following questions around Partner Segment as part of the New GL function:
1. Has anybody added partner segment (Field PSEGMENT) to the Coding Block as part of the New GL function yet?
2. Can we display or add partner segments on all relevant postings?
3. What other alternatives exist for consolidation in BCS lower than company code?
4. Who has some documentation around why partner segments should be added to the coding block?
5. Who has business requirements for adding partner segments and documentation?
In advance thank you very for any help that can be provided.

Hi Partner segment s required if you prepare consolidation for segments. This field can help the consolidation system to identify inter segment transactions for profit elimination. Trading partner field is used to identify Intercompany Postings and it will help legal entity consolidation.

Simulair report for FBL5N and FBL1N for new general ledger on segment level

We are working with segments in new G/L ledger. We want to run a open item report where we can combine customers and vendors by segment. The vendors and customers are linked in the master data. In the "old" reports FBL5N and FBL1N you can do this but not by segment.I found the following report on segment level:
- S_PCO_36000218 - Receivables: Segment
- S_PCO_36000219 - Payables: Segment
What I'm missing is to run 1 report for Customers and vendors. What I'm missing to is that there are only some fields available on line item level. (I like to have invoice number, documentype,.......)
Is there a standard report for this in new genaral leger?
Is it possible to ad additional field to th list viewer.

What is this user license type? All financial transactions need professional license.

Difference between New G/L Segment and Profitability Segment

Dear friends,
Can somebody explain what is the difference between New G/L segment and Profitability segment.
Thanks, Prakash

Hi,
Segment in New G/L is puerly for external reporting purpose.A segment is a sub area of a company for which has separate financial data and which has expenses and losses.For this segment we need virtually complete balance sheet for external reporting purpose.
Profitability segment is for analysis of profit within the organisation.A Profitability segment is a combination of different characteristic for which we want to analyse sales revenue and cost.These characteristic can be any thing for example customer, product, sales organisation etc.
For example We want to analyse what is the total sales of product A for customer group B under the sales organisation XYZ. Here profitability segment = Product+customer group +sales organisation

Segment Reporting.... What happens to Inter Company Transactions

I have 2 simple questions, please help me if you know the answers:
1. Inter Company: When we report at Segment Level (ECC 6.0) how do we eliminate Intercompany sales for company codes belonging to same segment. Is there a standard program to do this.
2. Inter Segment: Are there any standard reports for Inter Segment.
Please do share you experiences with Inter Company and Inter Segment scenarios and reporting.
Thanks

The problem is you need to create COMPANY and assign the same to both company codes in OBY6.
The following information must be useful.
You can post the cross company code postings even between two controlling areas. The system does not prevent to post documents between two company codes in two controlling area. Need not necessarily they should be under one operating concern. Provided you have to make sure that you have followed the following points:
In OBY6 - To company codes must be assigned to same Company, meaning that you mus thave created a Company and that company must have been assigned to these two company codes.
OBYA - You should maintain the clearing accounts in both the company codes. Meaning that you are posting one leg in one company code and the other leg in the other company. Therefore, it is required to have the missing legs in each company code.
Company Code1 - Posting Key 40 - Clearing Account
Company Code1 - Posting Key 50 - Clearing Account
Company Code2 - Positng Key 40 - Clearing Account
Company Code2 - Posting Key 50 - Clearing Account
OB08 - In case if the two company codes have different local (company code) currencies, you may maintain the exchange rates.
You can now go to F-02 and post a cross company code transaction giving the first leg in first company code and the second leg in second company code. Missing leg in the first company code will be posted to the GL Account mentioned in OBYA and the missing leg in the second company code will be posted to the GL Account mentioned in OBYA. That means you will have four line items overall.
The system will post three document.
Document 1 in First Company Code
Document 2 in Second Company Code
and
Document3 - Cross Company Code Document.
The cross company code document consists of the first company code document number plus company code plus last two digits of the fiscal year.
Hope this must have clarified your doubts.
Please let me know in case if you need further details.
Thanks,
Ravi

Common segment postngs

Dear all,
I have a special question on the segment reporting. Currently we have so many segments and each company is busy in more than one segment. Which means every transactions should be tagged to the corresponding segments. For the unidentified transactions, a common segment will be prompted by the system in the means of Constant. During the month end, these line items should be re assigned to the original segments/profit centers to nullify the common segment.
Like, re post CO line items in the CO modules (for expenditure line items), do we have any option to re post to the original profit center/segment (for B/S items or other than CO line items), in the other words, do we got any solution to transfer the values from one profit center to another profit center by using the same G/L account?
Please give me your valuable suggestion
Thanks & Regards,
RK

Dear All,
Thank you very much for your kind suggestions.
My requirement is to re post the Balance sheet items from one profit center to another profit center without specifying any ledger, which means the transfer posting should update all the ledgers. Besides, this will take place for inter segment postings (more or less) to picture complete balance sheet, the document splitting procedure will split the line items taken place and it will generate the additional clearing line items to balance the balancing field (segment). In this process, I found that SAP has given a new concept called "G/L Allocations" where the cycle will be created at ledger level, which means when do the G/L allocation from one ledger to another ledger, then where is the meaning of ledger specific postings as the system will decrease the balance from the source ledger and will add the balances to the target ledger which is not required. If you see from Segment dimension, it is correct. But if see from Ledger dimension, it is wrong I guess.
In this context, please advice me
Thanks & Regards,
RK

Automatic Contra Posting between account segments

Hi
I am using account segments for a company's different division in different locations. My customer wants automatic contra posting when an inter division (segment) jouranl entry takes places.
The business scenario is like this -
Action 1:
"Division A" incurrs travelling expenses on behalf of Division "B". and passess entry (Div B Dr. Cash A/c Cr.)
Action 2:
Later, after receiving advice from Division A, Division B passes entry (Travelling Exp Dr. Div A Cr.)
Since in Action 1 above - it is an inter segment transaction, is it possible that Action 2 will happen automatically with Action 1 ??
Will appreciate suggession
Thnx in advance
Indra

Indrajit,
Your requirement is very small and I doubt if there are any AddOn specifically for this. You might probably be needing to write this code. If you have other requirement along with this and if you provide me complete details on the requirement I can get some names for you.
You may email me to let me know if you do not feel appropriate posting it here

Segment E1ADRM4 in idoc SHPMNT05 only allows 10 partners

We have to post an extension of Idoc type SHPMNT05, with all the shipment and delivery information. For a concrete shipment, we have 15 different partners. However, segment E1ADRM4 doesn't allow more than 10 iterations. Why the system only allows to post 10 partners? Will we need to implement a new Z-segment to post the rest of the partners or do you know any other alternative solution?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Carlos,
We encountered similar issue on another IDoc type, based on which I will suggest you to do the following.
You can go to WE30 -> SHPMNT05 IDoc double click on segment E1ADRM4 and check that it is arbitrarily defined to have a maximum number of 10 records in an IDoc. This is the reason why the system won't allow you to have more than 10 of these.
Since you can't modify this as it falls in SAP name space, what you can do is to create an extension to SHPMNT05 IDoc say ZSHPMNT05 and insert a Z1ADRM4 at the same level as E1ADRM4 below it. You can instruct the EDI / Warehouse / partner to populate and send these Z1ADRM4 segments when E1ADRM4 exceeds 10.
Inside IDOC_INPUT_SHPMNT function module you can copy the Z1ADRM4 segments as new E1ADRM4 segments and insert them below existing ones in EXIT_SAPLV55K_020 in internal table IDOC_DATA
Later in FORM shpmnt_application_process, SAP processes these segments and will call function SD_SHIPMENT_PROCESS to create the shipment. I verified that there is no limitation on number of E1ADRM4 segment that can be processed here (which again shows that the number 10 is arbitrarily chosen by SAP with the belief that it will never be exceeded!)
Subsequent to this, EXIT_SAPLV55K_022 is called. Here you can delete the extra E1ADRM4 segments that you appended, so that IDoc will not fail because of syntax check, just in case. This may or may not be required, you can check out.
You can see all the above sequence of processing in IDOC_INPUT_SHPMNT -> PERFORM SHPMNT_IDOC_PROCESS -> PERFORM shpmnt_application_process
Best regards,
Vishnu Tallapragada
