Intercompany Reconciliation (ICR) process reports

Hi,
I'm setting up Intercompany Reconciliation with New Ledger ECC6 and i wonder if there is any report giving track to what is automatically reconciliated by all 3 processes. Is anyone aware?
Thanks in advance,
Alix

Hi
it must be always Automatically Reconciliation in any solutions all Intercompany transactions " This is Cross-System"
●      Start reconciliation run automatically (required)
●      Check status of reconciliation run (optional)
●      Perform manual reconciliation (required)
●      Make adjustment postings (optional)

Intercompany reconciliation in FI

Hi.
Is there anybody who got experienced to implement Intercompany reconciliation function in SEM or SEM-BCS similar in FI as follows?
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/1b/56b63e8697b300e10000000a114084/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/1b/56b63e8697b300e10000000a114084/content.htm]
From my understanding, Intercompany reconciliation(ICR) in FI make reconciliation job in accounting document level while basically SEM-BCS does it in Item balance level.
I just know if it is possible in BCS.

Hi Todd
It is always better to have the ICR done in ECC before the data is moved on to BCS so that u can always fix the data before it is moved on to BCS and many companies do like this only.
It may not be good a idea to reconcile after the currency translation in BCS, since it is virutally not possible to identify and fix the problem at that level.
Kindly read the following documentation on ICR:
https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000346442007E.PDF

Intercompany reconciliation process in ECC 6.0

Hi
Can anyone guide me on how to understand intercompany reconciliation process in ECC 6.0? I have tried but could not understand.
Thanks in Advance

Hello,
If you have been using F.2E you should probably review note 1180060 ( https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1180060 ) as an introduction.
It is necessary to set up some ICR specific details with the new solution. But if you use customizing generation as described in note 1172591 ( https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1172591 ) migrating to the new solution should not be too hard...

Intercompany Reconciliation process 003 - Sender Ledger

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to set up configuration for IC reconciliation process. In the step define reconciliation process attributes, do I have to mention any sender ledger for ICR process 003? I read that the sender ledger field is not mandatory for ICR process 003. If we leave this field empty the reconciliation program will consider entries from BKPF and BSEG tables.
My current client has reconciliation system same as sender system. There is a productive company code running on the same client of the same system.
Currently there are two ledgers defined ZA and ZB.
ZA - named as FI ledger and
ZB - named as SPL reporting ledger.
Questions:
1./ In the ICR configuration, Do I have to mention one of the current ledgers (ZA or ZB) in the sender ledger field in the configuration? If so what will be the impact?
2./ Can I leave the sender ledger field blank in the configuration? If so, what will be the impact.
I am trying to read through the documentation in SAP notes (1172591 and 863630) but I am unclear of what is needed to be configured in this field.
Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Ram

Hello Ram,
For processes 001 and 003 you should leave the sending ledger field empty unless you want to transfer information from document splitting to ICR from the general ledger.
If you specify a sending ledger the program will try to retrieve additional details from the sender ledger specified. But this only makes sense if you are using New GL with document splitting.

ICR Intercompany Reconciliation - clear customer/vendor items

After interco reconciliation using ICR Process 003, is there a way to automatically clear i/c customer against i/c vendor items based on the reference field?
The scenario: the client would like to perform weekly reconciliation, clearing away customer invoices that have been matched and posted to a partner i/c vendor. ICR can assign these items to each other but the client also wants to clear all items whose reference field totals to $0.
Possible?
Thank you.
Saulo

Ralph,
Thank you for your idea. What we decided to do for this client is to setup 2 additional payment methods for the vendor - incoming and outgoing to deal with debits. Then all due vendor open items are settled running the payment program F110. Finally a new development of a printing program will create a Payment Advice using IDocs. The Payment Advice will then be used by AR to clear the interco AR invoices by Reference Field. I had to setup a dummy house bank for the payment program. Having the Payment Advice allows segregation of duties since te AR dept will apply the payment.
Thanks again for your attention.
Saulo

Report Writer for ICR process (table group FBICRC002)

Hello Gurus,
I have implemented the new ICR process 002. It is working fine and I now want to create reports based on tables FBICRC002A & FBICRC002T.
When I try to create a library based on table FBICRC002T the system block me saying that "Table FBICRC002T is not installed in Report Writer" (message GR493).
Should I install the table group FBICRC002 to be able to use these data into report writer?
Do you know why this table group already exists and cannot be displayed?
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Pascal.

ICR-Intercompany Reconciliations - Use of Sets

Hi ALL
We are in the process of implemeting the ICR process and have chosen to go with the Process 003 with Customer and Vendor Open items but at the same time have chosen to include GL Open items from Process 001.
Our client requires that only certain GL accounts be picked up for the ICR process.
So I went and changed the Set ID 1000 which included all accounts from 000000000 - ZZZZZZZZZ and added just the accounts that we needed. Is that good enough?
Do I have to change the sets 2000 for Customers and 3000 for Vendors?
And after those changes do I have to run the select documents FBICS1 and FBICA1 again or does that only impact FBICR3?
And does anything need to be done to the Object Group and Subgroups - Trn FBRC009.
Any help in the matter will be greatly appreciated
Regards
Satpal
Edited by: Satpal Narang on Oct 21, 2009 10:22 PM

Hello Satpal,
There are 2 ways of limiting the GL accounts to be reconciled in process 003. The first (and in my opinion more efficient) way is to implement BADI method RESTRICT_SELECTION and implement a logic for restricting the account numbers there (e.g. based on a custom table for maintaining accounts to be selected). That way runtime of data seleciton can be reduced since open items you are not interested in are excluded from selection. You can use the example implementation in CL_IM_FB_ICRC_001.
The second way is to do what you have set up to exclude certain GL accounts from your object groups. However, in that case you will probably end up seeing them in the object group "Data records not contained in any object groups" - unless you specify the object groups to be processed on your selection screen. The downside to this solution is that you use the unwanted open items during data selection and automatic assignment - therefore increasing runtime and data volume. The good thing about it is that you do not need to bother with a BADI implementation.
Either solution will work. You will have to decide which one is better for you...

ICR Process 003 - Reconcile Documents

Hi there,
I am in the process of configuring the ICR process in our system. After following the 'Intercompany Reconciliation Background Information & Customizing Guide' and implementing note 863630, FBICS3 and FBICA3 appear to be functioning as they should. When I execute FBICR3 there are no unassigned documents, which is what I am expecting. However the documents in the intercompany vendor and customer accounts are still open. Is this the expected result or is there another step or program that I need to follow in order to clear these? Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Dan Schnock

Hello Dan,
Please note that ICR is only an analysis tool. It extracts the information from the original systems and then helps you to find documents causing differences. It does not clear any open items. This is still part of the normal processes in the operative systems.
Assigning documents to each other simply means that you have identified them to be part of the same business transaction. This can help you find documents causing differences more quickly (e.g. two documents are assigned to each other; receivables posted in EUR, payables posted in USD => the payables document is not correct, reverse it and post a new one using EUR as transaction currency). Assigning them to each other does not trigger any kind of clearing mechanism (at least not within the standard functionality). You could implement the existing BADI methods to send information back to the operative systems and trigger a process there. But the standard does not contain anyhihng like that...

Intercompany reconciliation -FBICS03 -Version field

Hi All,
We are not able view Version filed in T-Code FBICS03 in DEV System, Where as we are able to see it in the QUA sys.
What could be the reason.

ok, the SAP provides you with standard functionality for reconciliation. Depending on which release you are on, you could look at transaction FB2E, Else look at menu path SAP menu -> Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable -> Periodic Processing -> Closing -> Check/Count -> Cross-System Intercompany Reconciliation. The latter option requires some configuration and master data setup but the steps are clearly documented through Oss notes, just search for ICR*.
Hope this helps.

ICR - Process 002 - Business Area

Hi Ralph,
how can I reconcile for business area in ICR Process 002?
In the standard table (FBICRC002A), there is not present field Business Area.
Can yuo help me?
Thank you so much.
Best regards
Giampaolo

Hello Rafael,
Here is some information about the "Standard Setup" for ICR. Depending on your individual requirements you may have to vary these settings:
Field Movement
Create a new field movement using transaction GCF1.
Receiver Table FBICRC002T
Sender Table ACCHD
Receiver Field Sender Table     Sender field
DOCDT             ACCIT_GLX        BLDAT
GSBER             ACCIT_GLX        GSBER
RACCT             ACCIT_GLX        ALTKT
RASSC             ACCIT_GLX        VBUND
REFNR             ACCIT_GLX        XBLNR
Note that this will result in the field XBLNR not being changeable any more. This is SL standard behaviour because this means that if you changed XBLNR in the original document you would not get an update of your SL copy of the document. If you want to be able to change XBLNR in the FI document you could leave sender field for REFNR blank and implement an exit populating the field with XBLNR when the document is first posted.
Posting Indicator
I recommend setting this to 3. You will have to build up the initial set of data at some point using GCU1N. And you also want new postings to be transferred.
Check independent of posting
NO! You should not set this indicator. This is only relevant if you set posting indicator to 2 and you have implemented e.g. validations.
Write line items
YES!!! You need line items as the basis for your reconciliation.
Required posting
NO! You should not set this flag.
Best regards,
Ralph

ICR process for GL accounts.

Hi All,
Currently had completed the ICR process 003 for the open items, likewise we also need to do the reconciliation for the GL accounts.So kindly can you let me know the options for reconciling the GL account and the steps used if possible for the same to achieve it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Karthik

Hello Karthik,
FBICC can generate the ICR settings for process 002 as well. In addition to that you need to create a ledger where IC postings are collected in the sender system. There are several threads available which discuss the setup for this ledger and some information is also contained in the documentation attached to note 1164059 and the IMG documentation.

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
Edited by: Nathan Crowther on Mar 9, 2012 5:54 PM

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 002: ledger selection

Dear experts,
We are running on ECC6 and trying to implement Intercompany reconciliation process 002. We already have successfully implemented process 001 and 003. All the data that need to be reconciled are in the same system and on the same client (ie all the company codes are running on SAP ECC6)
The problem is that everytime we launch the transaction FBICS2, no data is selected (or reselected), even though there are data to reconcile. Message: "No data selected according to the specified restrictions".
My question:
- what do I need to customize as sending ledger and receiving ledger ? Should it be the same ledger ?
- do i really need to create a SL ledger for this process ? If yes do i need to set up transfer operations ?
- what could be the cause of my problem ?
My customizing is as follows: in FBIC009, local company code activated, Data source is current process, Data transfer type is Asynchrnous via direct RFC, Sender field for reference and alternative sender field are blank.
Thanks in advance.
Steven

Hello Steven,
Sorry that it took me so long to answer...
Re #1 Yes, you have to run FBICA2 in order to have documents visible in FBICR2.
Re #2 GCU1N takes ledger selection into account. The program basically simulates posting of the document. So if a line is posted to your ledger during GCU1N it would also be posted when using FB01 etc.
Re #3 You can set up matrix reconciliation.
Add Segment and Partner Segment as fields with availability "Totals Items: Subassignment" (transaction FBIC006).
Then maintain the field catalog and choose role Secondary OrgUnit for Segment and Secondary Partner Unit for Partner Segment (transaction FBRC008).
Finally you have to choose option Use Primary and Secondary OrgUnits and Partner Units in Hierarchy Display in IMG activity Set Up Reconciliation Display (transaction FBRC003).
The hierarchy in FBICR* will look like this:
Company 1 - Segment A
   Partner 1 - Segment B
   Partner 2 - Segment A
   Partner 2 - Segment B
Company 1 - Segment B
   Partner 1 - Segment A
   Partner 2 - Segment A
   Partner 2 - Segment B

ICR Process 002: ledger selection - create a SP Ledger

Hello,
I am implementing ICR functionality in ECC 5.0.
I have implemented process '003' so far, and it is already working fine.
I have seen this question in SDN which is about exactly the same issue that I have:
[Re: ICR Process 002: ledger selection|Re: ICR Process 002: ledger selection]
I understand that I have to create a Ledger for process '002' as is said in the message above. The problem is:
- I have configured "Define Reconciliation Process Detail Attributes (FBIC010)" as following:
RC CoA SS SendLD Receiving LD
002 K4 PCGE Minimize number of RFC calls I2 I2
- When I try to create a "I2" ledger in 'GCL1' and I set summary table as "FBICRC002T" the system shows the following error message: " Table FBICRC002T is not allowed Message no. GG291"
Do you know what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance

Solved by the following information of Customizing's documentation
Before you can define any ledgers for ICR you have to make sure that global ledgers are active (transaction GCVO: IMG path Financial Accounting  Special Purpose Ledger  Basic Settings  Perform Preparation or Financial Accounting (new)  Special Purpose Ledger  Basic Settings  Perform Preparation).
