Intercompany reconciliation

Hello
Does anyone have have a detailed documentation on the SPICDATA and SPICBOOKING functions?
The BPC on-line help is a little poor on that aspect.
Thanks a lot
Regards

There is no official documentation however, there is some dood SAP documentation in the works. Do not believe that it is done yet; it needs a few adds to make it a complete really good document.
SPICDATA works. However, SPICBOOKING does not. It has been determined that there is a program error in SPICBOOKING and we are working with SAP to iron this out.
We went for these procedures because it gives the user a very good view of their own data and that of the partner entities booking against them. Further it operates through the business rules and these are supposed to be more efficient...Let's see. Further, we are including the elim activity in the the legalapp..and not setting up a separate app for ICmatching.

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...
Best regards,

Intercompany reconciliation in R/3

Hi,
Does anybody knows if there is any way to make intercompany reconciliation without BCS. We need to have an intercompany reconciliation in R/3 before going to BCS, so any difference can be corrected early.

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.

SAP BPC - Intercompany reconciliation - IC accounts - Input from user?

Dear All,
When doing consolidation(of investments), we need to reconcile IC transactions prior to consolidation process. I believe, there are specific accounts which are specific to IC transactions. These IC related accounts must be identified and used in the business rules during reconciliation process.
My question is:
During requirements gathering, even if I(SAP BPC Consultant) know those IC specific accounts on seeing the chart of accounts, this info./data MUST come from the users as these accounts may vary from company to company. When it is a legal consolidation, it is safer that these inputs are coming from the user and not from the SAP BPC Consultant. This is my understanding.
Is my above understanding is correct? IC related accounts must be an input from users and not expected from SAP CONS. specialist?
Correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you!
Regards,
Peri

Hi Peri,
Different companies use different charts of accounts and the intercompany group of accounts have to be confirmed by customers finance.

Doubts in intercompany reconciliation

Hi there,
I'm facing many dobts about the using of the transactions FBICS1, FBICA1 and FBICR1. For the last transactions, the return is always wiith zero difference, even that have a difference.
Could you help me please?
Thanks.

Hi
Transaction that takes place between two entities of same company is simply called as intercompany. Reconciliation of
inter company means that reconciling the books of both the entities and making the balances to be zero by internal adjustment,making sure that there is no any cash transactions takes place between both the entires its just an adjustment between two entities.
Intercommany Reconciliation is done for the paurchase or sale of goods/services between two legal entities of a
parent company.
Reconciliation is done to find out the difference of amount posted in the books of both legal entities.
For example: B ltd (France) and C ltd (America) are two legal entities of a parent company XYZ ltd.
Now, B sold good to C for $1,000.00 and recorded the entry in their book. However, C ltd when recieved the goods,
recorded the transaction for $960.00 only because of change in currency.
While doing reconciliation it was found that there is a difference of $40.00, so the system would record it as
adjustment entry for $40.00 to balance the ledger.

Intercompany reconciliation - help with customizing

hello I am trying to make work the ICR functionality but I could not make it work yet. I'll appreciate any help or guidance about this functionality.
So far I have done (following note 863630):
1. create A & B as companies
2. set company code A as company
    set company code B as company
3. set in OBYA the postings for clearing between company codes
A & B
4. I have created A & B as vendor and customer popolating companies A & B as Trading Partner.
5. FBICIMG3

5.3 Create Additional Fields - standard
5.4 Activate Processes - standard
5.5 Activate Transaction Data Tables - standard
5.6 Maintain Field Catalogs - standard
5.7 Define Reconciliation Process Detail Attributes - process '003' chage recieving ledger to '0L' and chart of accounts to local CoA.
5.8 Define Ledger -standard
5.9 Define Enhancements - standard
5.10 Companies to be Reconciled- set company code A & B; check local company; Sender field for reference = XBLNR for A & B
5. 11 Maintain Number Range for Group Reference Numbers: I've created the number range for process '003'
5.12 Define Rules for Document Assignments - check for '003' the rule 'SAP0050' (I understood that this one would check documentos's xblnr)
5.13 Set Up Reconciliation Display - standard
5.14 Define Sets - standard
5.15 Set Up Display Categories and Subcategories - standard
5.16 Define Possible Status for Documents - standard
5.17 Define Enhancements - standard
At this moment doing that, running transaction FBICS3 (version = 1) the system shows this information:
@5B\QInformation@     Select open items with key date 30.09.2008. Store data in 009/2008.
@5B\QInformation@     Company A/Partner : Number of selected open records:        18
@5B\QInformation@     Company A/Partner : Number of transferred new records:        18
@5B\QInformation@     Company A/Partner A: Number of selected open records:        65
@5B\QInformation@     Company A/Partner A: Number of transferred new records:        65
@5B\QInformation@     Company B/Partner A: Number of selected open records:        75
@5B\QInformation@     Company B/Partner A: Number of transferred new records:        75
so it seems that some data are transferred....
but when I run 'FBICA3 - Customer/Vendor: Document Assignment' the system displays the message "No data selected according to the specified restrictions"
and when I run 'FBICR3 - Customer/Vendor: Reconcile Documents' the system displays the message " No data selected.
I will appreciate any guidance about this matter, I need to configure ICR in order to clear AR/AP transactions (process '003') but I cannot make it work.
Cheers

Hi Ralph, I finally have configured a "sandbox" system and I have done (again) the following steps:
1. create A & B as companies
2. set company code A as company
set company code B as company
3. set in OBYA the postings for clearing between company codes
A & B
4. I have created A & B as vendor and customer popolating companies A & B as Trading Partner.
5. FBICIMG3
5.1 Define Enhancements in sender system - standard
5.2 Define Reconciliation Process Attributes - standard
5.3 Create Additional Fields - standard
5.4 Activate Processes - I have inactivate process FBICRC001A & FBICRC002A and FBICRC003A is activated.
5.5 Activate Transaction Data Tables --> activated
5.7 Define Reconciliation Process Detail Attributes .
at this step I have done (FIBC010):
- set local CoA in processes '001' & '002' (seems to be mandatory) although processes '001' & '002' are not activated. Processes '003' do not need (?) to set a CoA.
I am facing a problem. In trx FIBC010 I try to set Ledger '0L' as receiving ledger for process '003' and '001' and as recieving & sender ledger for process '002' but system shows me the message: Ledger 0L is not a valid receiver ledger.
Do I have to create a special ledger in order to configure IR? where?
Thanks in advance

FBICR3 - Intercompany reconciliation

Dear Gurus,
We have an issue with inter-company reconciliation. When we run FBICR3 txn the company data is pulling through but the partner data is not pulling because of which we can't make manual reconciliations. For example If Company code 1000 and partner 2000 I can see Open items and receivables but no Payables. If I click on the company 2000 partner 1000 I can see only open items and payables but not receivables.
We are using only Process 3 for customer and vendor reconciliation.
Not sure if we are missing something in the config. Please help
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: Sandhya Verma on Dec 28, 2010 9:14 PM

Hi Daya,
Please refer the below snapshot which explains the the 3 panes.
These are open AR and AP items similar to what you see in FBL1n and FBL5n.
When you start with running the transaction FBICS3 these get fetched and stored in table FBICRC003A.
I hope I was able to provide you somehelp ful insight to you.
Best regards,

Intercompany Reconciliation - VAT issue

Hi
I have a question regarding the handling of VAT whitin the IC reconciliation: one company in our enterprise does post the revenue excluding the VAT, the other company posts the cost with VAT. Where do I put the VAT-account (in which Set). How can the total VAT-account be split up for the relevant documents?
Can someone help me with this?
Kind regards,
Isabelle

Hi Ralph
Thank you very much for your answer.
Following a posting example:
Company A
Debtor acct.#12345   -    Sales Revenue acct.# 764321    CHF 1'000
                                    VAT acct. #212000                    CHF     76
Company B
COGS acct.# 342009   -   Creditor acct. #234234                 CHF 1'076
I have defined a Set for the IC reconciliation which says:
RACCT COGS   vs RACCT Sales Revenue
In the Group "Expenses" I have defined the expense account #342009 and in the "Group" Revenue I have defined the sales revenue acct. #764321 and the VAT acct. #212000. Otherwise I wouldn't see the VAT amount in this Group.
Then I have another Set which says:
RACCT Financial expenses   vs   RACCT Financial revenue
In the Group "Financial expenses" I have defined an expense account. In the group "Financial revenue" I have defined an revenue account AND the VAT account #212000, because the posting can be the same as mentioned above.
Now when I want to see the details of the Set RACCT COGS vs RACCT Sales Revenue, the Set Sales Revenue includes all VAT-amounts, also the ones which would belong to the Set "Financial revenue". On the other hand, when I select the set "Financial Revenue" for details, it shows me also the VAT-amounts which would belong to set "Sales Revenue".
I hope you understand my example... Otherwise please tell me then I will try it in other words :-).
Kind regards,
Isabelle

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

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.
Best regards,
Ralph

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...
Ralph
