Intercompany Txn Company Segment

We are implementing Intercompany Cross charge for our client , which has the following Sets of Books:
1)United states(has multiple company codes)
2)United Kingdom(only one company code)
3)Netherlands(only one company code)
The CoA has company as one of the segments ,we are trying to determine the Accounting entries for Cross Charged Transaction when US(which holds multiple company codes) becomes the provider to Netherland and UK, any pointers as to how to determine the company segment for these transaction
Thanks

Hi
You can try mapping the auto accounting rules for intercompany invoice and revenue based on project owning organizations by creating the lookup sets for the specific segment.

  • Intercompany - Multinational Company Finance  issues

    Hi All,
    I am at a client who is big multinational automotive company based out of USA. They have following questions:
    1.  Do they use ERS for intercompany?
    2.  Have they automated price updates (automated price synchornization like our custom PO/SO) or are they using standard SAP with "manual" updates to pricing?
    3.  How often do they update intercompany transfer prices?
    4.  Do they use material ledger to assist in calculation of intercompany prices?
    5. Do they have the philosophy that intercompany should process like a 3rd party?
    6.  Any other comments pertinent to overall intercompany pricing and reconciliation philosophies?  
    Your quick response is highly appreciated.

    Hi Praveen,
    I can share with you some of my experiences with the intercompany process.
    1) I have not seen ERS used for intercompany, but it might be possible.  The only caution I would mention is that quantity and value differences do not occur in invoice verification.  This could be a problem if the warehouse received incorrect quantities, or if the intercompany prices are not loaded correctly.
    2) In the past, we have created programs that would update the intercompany condition type and the associated purchasing inforecord to ensure that the current prices were used.
    3) I've seen some companies update on a nightly basis (i.e. they would run the program mentioned in pt 2 before they run the intercompany billing).
    4) Some companies would use the cost stored in the material master and have a field (in the program mentioned in pt2) that would have % markup on  the cost and use this value when updating the SD intercompany prices.
    5) Not sure I understand.
    6) If the company is beginning or in the early stages of the intercompany process, they should assign a u201Cchampionu201D to the oversee the process.  This person should 1) work with the warehouses to ensure that all goods receipts are done in a timely process, 2) they should also monitor the GR/IR accounts to ensure balances are accurate, 3)  they should also monitor any errors that in the invoice overview log (i.e. missing pricing, IDOCs errors, etc), 4) monitor the vendor accounts to ensure that the balances are correct.  The reconciliation process for intercompany billing involves input from a variety of business users.  By documenting a process and following the process this will ensure that the period-end reconciliations are quick with minimal problems.

  • PRRW - Intercompany/Cross company travel expense

    Hi,
    Using tcode PR05 i will do inter company travel expense.
    Once done i will go to PRRW to do the posting.
    Posting will create 2 documents,
    1) AP(Account payable) document
    2) Expense document.
    Now I have to copy the expense document details (g/l account and the amount) to the AP document as one credit and one debit.
    Please any one tell me in which program I will get this two details.

    Hi,
    Let me explain you from the beginning.
    1. Create Travel Expense Type ( The one which is visible in PR05): follow the path  - Financial Accounting (New) --> Travel Management > Travel Expenses > Master Data > Travel Expense Types > Create Travel Expense Types for Individual Receipts.
    Create the required travel expenses there.
    2. Assign wage type for the travel expense types created: follow the path - Financial Accounting (New) --> Travel Management > Travel Expenses > Master Data > Wage Types for Interfaces > Assign Wage Types to Travel Expense Types for Individual Receipts
    when you go into this path, you will find the travel expense types which you have created in the earlier step. Select the expense type for which you need to assign the wage type and click the magnifier icon which is available in the left top. You can assign the wage type then.
    3. Assign symbolic account for the wage type created: follow the path - Financial Accounting (New) --> Travel Management > Travel Expenses > Transfer to Accounting > Define Assignment of Wage Type to Symbolic Account.
    Assign a two character symbolic account with a prefix "+".
    4. Assign GL accounts for the symbolic account assigned: follow the path- Financial Accounting (New) --> Travel Management > Travel Expenses > Transfer to Accounting > Conversion of Symbolic Account to Expense Account.
    Double Click HRT there, it will ask for chart of accounts, give your chart of accounts and then press enter. In the screen, select new entries, enter the symbolic account and its corresponding GL account.
    note that instead of entering the prefix "+", you have to enter 1 as prefix here.
    Save your entries.
    As for as employee vendors is concerned, please create a vendor account in FK01 and then assign the personnel number of the employee in the vendor master record. The system will automatically pick up the employee vendor number with its personnel number.
    Trust this clarifies.

  • Intercompany transactions between Multiple set of books

    Hi,
    We are trying to figure out a way to do Intercompany transactions across different set of books. How can we achieve this? Any pointers in this direction would be helpful
    Regards
    Bala

    Hi experts,
    I need your guidance/suggestion for the issue i have in Intercompany accounting.
    we have setup many-to-many intercompany in GL. Even for
    transactions involving two companies, we want the intercompany line created during posting ,to
    take a specific balancing segment. Posting job replaces only the due from/due to account but the company segment that we define.
    oracle std functionality has a default clearing company concept. In this all
    intercompany trasnactions tht we create for a specific source /category wud go to just 1 default clearing company. But our
    requirement is ..for companies x,y,z ,it shud go to company 100 and for others it should go to 200 ..
    But oracle doesnt support more than one clearing company. Has anybody faced same situation ?
    Any pointers to workarounds /customisations wud help.
    Thank u so much for ur time.

  • Can I use my spare for Intercompany Accounting?

    My company segment has two char 01, 02 , 03
    My Spare has four char 0000 , 0001.
    Can I enable it as an intercompany segment?

    It depends on how you use it. If you have the brightness up to full, Wifi, 3G and BT all on, then your battery life will be less. I have an iPad 3 that still manages about 8 hours use.
    All you can do is take it to an Apple Store and ask. If they do decide to do something, then you will be given a refurbished unit, so make sure you have done a backup to iTunes first.

  • Automatic creation of intercompany PO when creating a Sales Order

    Hi Experts
    Is there a standard way of triggering an intercompany PO when creating a sales order to the final customer (or the other way around, triggering a sales order to the end customer upon creation of an intercompany PO)? Scenario: business has setup a logistics company (company code X), which its purpose is to deliver goods to the final customer (home customers). However, sales orders are created from seperate chain of stores which belong to another company code (company code Y). This chain of stores have one sales organisation (since there is over 1000 stores under a chain). I need a way to represent that a sale originated from a store/plant belonging to company Y to end customer A. Also, I need a billing document (intercompany) from company code X to store/plant beloning to company Y.
    Issues: in the intercompany config (assign intern customer numbers to sales org) - is there a way to assign a customer number at site/plant level so that when creating an intercompany billing it can be picked instead of the one assigned to the sales org and where can this be specified in the sales order (remember: in my scenario there are multiple stores/plants that belong to one sales organisation and it is not possible to use one customer number linked to the sales organisation.)
    Desired results:
    Sales order from store/plant YY belonging to company code Y to end customer A
    Intercompany billing from plant XX belonging to company code X to store/plant YY
    End customer billing from store/plant YY to end customer A
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hello Tsmash  
    I think you can acheive this with Regular Sales order + Inter Company STO combination.
    Maintain customer numbers for each of the Plants from Company Y for the sales area belonging to Company X.
    Then do the config for STO in MM using this menu path:
    SPRO/Materials Management/Purchasing/Purchase Order/Set up Stock Transport Order
    Here, in the activity 'Define Shipping Data for Plants',  enter each of the plant-customers and the Sales area belonging to Comany code Y. Carry out other activities in this area appropriately.
    Similarly set up Custom ( say Z1) Special Procurement type for Plant YY for stock transfer from XX using this menu path:
    SPRO/Production/Material Requirements Planning/Master Data/Define Special Procurement Type:
    Here maintain procurement type as F, Special procurement as U and plant as XX. You may need to repeat this config for each of the receiving plants (over 1000 stores under a chain)  from co code Y.
    In the material master MRP 2 for Plant YY,  maintain procurement type as F and Special Procurement as Z1.
    Sales order will be received under Co Code Y and sales area belonging to Y form customer A,
    Because of the MRP config, a PO (STO) requirement will be raised on Co code X and plant XX. XX will send the goods to YY via a STO delivery using the Shipping data from 'Set up STO' config,
    Plant YY will send the goods to A and bill that customer. Co Code X will raise an inter-comany bill on Co code Y.
    That's how it should work. Try it and revert with any issues.

  • Intercompany Sales for 3 companies

    Hi All Expert,
    I am now facing big problem in setting of Intercompany sales.
    Now I want to set a new Company C, with Sales and Bill to Oversea customer,
    but goods are purchased from Company B,
    and the goods are produced by Company A and Ship to Customer directly from Company A.
    Customer <-- Sales Order / Bill --- Company C  --- Purchase Order ---> Company B --- Intercompany Sales ---> Company A --- Goods Delivery ---> Customer
    a. Company C Sale and Bill to the Customer (Normal Sales)
    b. Company C purchase goods from Company B (Intercompany Sales)
    c. Company B purchase goods which produced by Company A (Intercompany Sales)
    d. Company A ship goods directly to the Customer (Goods delivery)
    How to set this Intercompany sales for three companies?
    Thanks.
    Terry
    Edited by: Kin Hang, Terry NGAI on May 7, 2009 9:31 AM

    Hi Terry,
    We have done a very similar kind of scenario for our client. We have done it for 4 company codes. Actually, standard SAP can handle intercompany sales between only 2 compnay codes. So, this requirement (with 3 companies) calls for an enhancement. You will have to create a couple of Z tables to achive this scenario. First Z table to update the partner function and the second one for the selection of sequence in which the companies need to be billed. And you can use a BAPI (BAPI_SALESDOCU_CREATEFROMDATA) to create intercompany invoices from company B to C further automatically. Hope this gives you an idea to start the work. Let me know if you need any further help.
    Regards,

  • Currency setup for InterCompany addon implementation

    Hi All,
    Running v9pl11.
    We are currently implementing the InterCompany v2 addon for our head office and one of our branches. One of the prerequisites, and the last one we need to achieve in order to have the whole thing running according to our specifications, is to have an identical setup between the Head office and the branch in term of Currency Setup. Our Head Office and Branch are located in two different countries and are running two different currencies.
    Today, we have a different setup between the two and we need to make it identical. Our problem is that even after having asked the accountants, internal and external, no one knows what the impact is of such or such changes.
    Here are the differences between the head office and the branch:
    ============
    Head Office ==

    All the other currencies are absolutely identical between the 2 databases. Only the CHF has got differences.
    Could anyone tell me what impact there would be in changing one of the setups, and in which direction we can change the setup as I know that some changes are not reversible.
    Thanks,

    Hi YC,
    I inferred following from your query, correct me if I'm mistaken:
    You are configuring Intercompany Integration solution for one HO and one Branch company environment. You have deployed the solution and completed key mapping function.You have completed other intercompany setup related steps and you want to create Branch corresponding business partners.
    Login any of the Intercompany participating companies and follow the steps below:
    1. Create a HO representing customer i.e. while adding customer record ,choose HO in Branch          Partner Code field.
    2. Create a HO representing vendor i.e. while adding vendor record ,choose HO in Branch Partner      Code field.
    3. Create a Branch representing customer i.e. while adding customer record ,choose Branch in      Branch Partner Code field.
    4. Create a Branch representing vendor i.e. while adding vendor record ,choose Branch in Branch      Partner Code field.
    Now, log in the other intercompany participating company and check if all these branch representing business partners have got replicated correctly (you needn't to create any new branch representing BP furtheron).
    Please be very cautious and refer to Intercompany solution guides before adding any company representing Branch partner.Once created, company representing definitions cann't be modified.

  • Balancing Segment issue

    Hi,
    I am confusing on the balance segments usage. I checked from the articles.
    "If a Balancing Segment Value is assigned to a Legal Entity, one would be able to create transactions from this Legal Entity only if a Balancing Segment Value is assigned. (in payables/ receivables to which this legal entity is assigned)."
    If it is true, I have the question:
    I did a test. We have a ledger "USD LEDGER". Under this ledger, we have 3 legal entities "A", "B" and "C". The following is the currnet BSV assigment:
    BSV 6049 to ledger "USD LEDGER"
    BSV 6426 to ledger "USD LEDGER"
    BSV 6439 to ledger "USD LEDGER"
    BSV 6448 to ledger "USD LEDGER"
    BSV 6415 to entity A
    BSV 6422 to entity B
    BSV 6424 to entity C
    From the above setting, I created an AP invoices in entity B with the following distribution lines:
    1. Item, Amount=1.00, Account=6422.0000.343162.0000.000000.000.0000.000
    2. Item, Amount=1.00, Account=6049.0000.343162.0000.000000.000.0000.000
    3. Item, Amount=-1.00,Account=6049.0000.343162.0000.000000.000.0000.000
    The default AP liability account=6422.0000.311101.0000.000000.000.0000.000
    Supposed I can use BSV 6422 only if I create AP invoice in legal entity B. However, I can also use 6409 as expense item in AP distributions and its acccounting could be created succssfully. Here is the AP jounral created in legal entity B:
    6422.0000.311101.0000.000000.000.0000.000     Liability     Dr 1.00     
    6422.0000.311101.0000.000000.000.0000.000     Liability Cr 2.00
    6422.0000.343162.0000.000000.000.0000.000     Item Expense Dr 1.00     
    6049.0000.343162.0000.000000.000.0000.000     Item Expense Cr 0.00
    Why could I user 6049 in the above entry? Could anybody please kindly explain and show me why? Thanks.

    Hi Edmond,
    the reason for asking the source of article was to find out in what context that was referred in, i was not implying that the statement is misleading or incorrect ... Oracle Support documentations are considered final in key decision making areas during implementation and post implementation period ... hence there is no question on the validity of what Oracle says ... However the interpretations are to be carefully reviewed ....
    Assignment of BSV values to Ledger and Legal Entity was a change brought forward in Release 12 version of Oracle E business suite, it was not the case in the older version i.e. 11i... Now there are two places in which BSV values are to be assigned ....
    1) At the Legal Entity Level - This is MANDATORY
    Every transaction that is recorded at the operating unit level will have a reference to its legal entity as well ... By looking at the account code combination or BSV
    used in the subledger transaction, we can clearly identify which Legal Entity this transaction belongs to, whereas we have to let the system know of that as well i.e.
    which BSV's point of which LE's. This link needs to be established for performing transaction processing at the Operating unit Level ....
    There are no transactions that are processed at Legal Entity Level, all transactions are recorded and processed at Operating unit level, however this configuration
    became a pre-requisite to do that ..
    Assume a Scenario where,
    USD Ledger has 2 Legal entities LE 1 and LE 2 ...and 3 Operating units OU 1 and OU 2 under LE 1 and OU 3 under LE 2
    In 11i, when you enter a transaction in OU 1 and OU 2, it is clear that the transaction belongs to LE 1 and not any other ....
    whereas in R12, that is not enough ... i have to say that which value of my company segment points to LE 1 and LE 2 ... The change is due to the system design ....and
    other system dependancies ....The link between Operating unit and Legal Entity is established or governed through BSV value assignments
    2) At the Ledger Level - This is purely OPTIONAL
    This assignment is normally not performed in most of the client places or atleast i have not seen it being performed ....
    This is useful when you are performing a transaction that does not belong to a Legal Entity .... when a transaction does not belong to LE, which means it does not have a operating unit as well ... which also means that, such transactions will not be performed at Subledger level, they can only be done at the Ledger Level ..i.e. in
    General Ledger MOdule.
    Assume a scenario where,
    Client has 3 different Ledgers and wants to consolidate the 3 ledgers data in to a new ledger .. this new ledger would be used only to hold consolidation data and
    extract financial reports nothing more .. in which case this new ledger will not require a Legal entity, when there is no Legal entity, you cannot assign BSV value ...
    so in that case, BSV assignment at Ledger level would help in performing the consolidating activity and adjustments type of transactions ......
    Also note, that when no BSV is assigned at Ledger level, system displays all values.
    I am yet to see a documentation from oracle or others, which states the restrictions on displaying or not displaying LE values based on BSV assignments at LE or Ledger Level ....

  • How to define common segments across multiple SOB's

    We are considering an implementation approach with multiple SOBs for the various entities under the umbrella organization, since each manages itself differently. However, we still need to define a SOB for consolidating the data from the entities. Other than reporting needs, what factors should be considered for determining accounting flexfield segments that are common across the entities, and therefore should be in each SOB? Any other considerations?

    Hi Shelia!
    This is a broad question. The main thing to keep in mind is that each set of books should have a unique balancing segment value defined for it and defined at the set of books level when defining the accounts in your Set of Books form.
    For example, if you have 3 companies that all share the same chart of accounts structure, the Balancing Segment (Company Segment) should be somethig like:
    01 for Company 1
    02 for Company 2
    03 for Company 3
    Then, when you define each company's set of books, make sure you use the corresponding segment value for each.
    So, the Retained Earning Account would be 01-3500----- for Company 1's set of books and Retained Earnings will be 02-3500 for Company 2's set of books.
    If all of you sets of books reside on a single database instance, and they all share the same chart of accounts, you will NOT need to define a separate consolidation set of books. You can create FSG reports to consolidate the data across sets of books on a single instance.
