Interest computation on Special GL Transactions
Dear Gurus,
We are on SAP 4.7 system and our requirement is to compute Interest to be paid to our Customers who have paid us Deposits. That is, the Deposits paid by Customers to us and booked using Special GL Transactions that lead to customer credit balances.
We have completed the configuration of Interest and the same is working fine for Debit balances. The computation is fine for all debit transactions.
However, the system is not computing Interest on Credit Balances lying in Customers Account thru Special GL Transactions. We have configured Item Interest calculation. The expectation is to compute interest on multiple Sp GL Line items of a Customer.
This is what we have done in configuration / spro:
Interest Calculation Global Settings:
1. Item Interest Calculation P for our Interest Indicators L1 and L2. (L1 assigned to Customer Master).
2. Number ranges
3. Prepare Interest on Arrears Calculation - L1 - configured to accept Open and all Cleared Items
4. Prepare Special G/L Transaction Interest Calculation - L1 Int Indicator mapped with L1
Interest Calculation
1. Define Reference Interest Rates
2. Define Time-Based Terms - L1 mapped with
Debit interest: arrears interest calc.
Credit interest: arrears interest calc.
3. Enter Interest Values
Now ideally speaking, maintaining these values, must lead to correct calculation of 'Computation of Interest on Special GL transactions'
The subsequent configurations are also completed, although, our understanding is that these are only for carrying out Financial Posting.
Interest Posting
1. Maintain Acct Determn - OBV1 - L1 is set up with Sp GL Indicator (somehow I feel this is not a required configuration for interest computation on Sp GL transaction but still tried with this one as well)
Please help.

Hi Venu,
Special g/l trans is not allowed in cash journal, but there is a workaround provided in OSS Notes: 532888
it states" Special G/L indicator (for example, for down payments)
The consideration of a special G/L indicator, in particular for down payments, has also not been provided for reasons of the simple useablity.
However, if you want to enter down payments in the cash journal, you should write a corresponding note as a workaround in the text field (for example, "Down payment"), post this amount to a clearing account that is intended for that in the cash journal and afterwards make a transfer posting of this clearing account with the corresponding special G/L indicator in the accounts receivable accounting."
hope this helps.
Please assign points as way to say thanks.

Interest Caluculation for Special G/L transactions for vendor
Dear All,
Could you please tell me the scenario of interest calculation for Special g/l calculatios for vendors.
Thanks,
sudhanHi Atif,
I've made all the changes that you have suggested, but the problem still remains. For Reconciliation account that I'm using, I've changed Field Status Group from Payment to "Optional", and the same to posting keys for Special G/L transaction.
The Note 9344 is about this problem. Do you know if it still remains?
Thanks! -
Interest Calculation for special GL items
Hi Experts,
We have posted some special GL indicator documents for the vendors, but in the interest calculation, that is not coming up.
However the system is picking up all the others debit and credit items for that vendor.
So what could be going wrong for this vendor?
Thanks in Advance,
JeenatHi,
Check the transaction code OBAB and assign your special GL transaction to your Interest Indicator.
This should solve your issue.
However this setting applies only for account balance interest calculation.

Include posting date in interest computation
Hi,
we have a payment term of 07DA (due on the 7th of billed month)
If a document is posted on the first day of the month, then is it payable on the 7th. If the customer did not pay on the 7th, it will computed with interest. The standard is, interest will compute on the 2nd day of the month. Is there a way wherein interest will be computed on the 1st day of the month?
Example:
Document with a posting date of September 1 (baseline line date is Sept. 01) due on September 7.
Customer did not pay on the 7th.
When i run interest, computation will start on September 2. We want it to start computing on Sept 1.
Thank you.
RachelleHi,
The baseline date can not be change for interest calculation alone, as that would affect the net due date calculation also.
However check whether in transaction OB85, you can define a custom function module for determination of interest rate and for that you can give the below formula:-
( Interest Rate Applicable / No of days in arrear ) * (No of days in arrear - 1)
Then the interst amount will be same as you wanted.

Down payment request for other special GL transactions
Hi ALL,
Is it possible to post down payment request for other special GL transactions?
If not , I Have a scenario that I have to generate down payment request with different alternative reconciliation accounts , but same reconciliation account.
As we cannot assign different alternative reconciliation accounts for same reconciliation account in special GL indicator "F- down payment request), how to post down payment request with different alternative reconciliation accounts?
Even though I have created different special GL indicators for different alternative reconciliations accounts with same reconciliation accounts, I couldn't post down payment request, only down payment is possible. how to solve?
regs,
ramesh bPlease do the following
1. Activate Reconciliation account ready input setting for your Main reconciliation account in FS00
2. If you dont find the setting in FS00, then you have to change FSG settings for this account group in OBD4.
3. Also assign alternative reconciliation accounts to your reconciliation account
Now system asks you to input the alternative recon account when you do the transactions.

Payment Terms field in F-43 Transaction(for Vendor special GL transactions)
Hi experts
Our Client requirement is like this:
Our Client uses F-43 for entering the special GL Transactions (I am sure that SAP has given F-48 but this is the way they use for quiet long time).
So here they enter Posting Key 39 and Special GL Transaction "J" which they have customised for some purpose. In this line item they want to see Payment Terms also. But SAP has not given that field in the transaction F-43 with Special GL functionality.
Even if we try in F-48 also this field is not given by SAP.
We have already cheecked by enabling the Payment Terms in Positng Key and GL Field Status group but of no use.
Is there any way we can get this field available for entry in F-48 or F-43 for Special GL Transactions.
Thanks in Advance
RayalaHi Rayala,
The functionality you required is not avaliable for down payment. because the BSEG-ZTERM is not necessary for down payment. if there is down payment happened, this down payment should be cleared with vendor invoice immediately.
The Alternative solution: suggest you to consider to use the allternative reconciliation account function instead of using special G/L indicator, then the BSEG-ZTERM could be avaliable for entering.
Hope the above information are useful to you!

LSMW for Special GL transaction
Hi,
I am doing a LSMW for upload open items for special GL transaction (TYPE W) with a Batch input. I couldn't do with the standard method (RFBIBL00) because the dynpro for SGL type W is very different. The problem is that the posting is not passing to the second position. It reads all the information but in the step 'convert data' only reads the first posittion (the one of the SGL). In the steps 'FIeld Mapping and conversiont' I can only assing the information of the SGL's dynpro.
Any idea?
Thanks,
CeciliaFor sugestion, define 'W' as default value in your recording and remove this field from upload sheet. If you got more than one entries like that execute in separated sheets.
If the situation remains contact a SAP or presence support to analyse your system.
Good luck and best regards -
Special GL transactions - deposit
Hi,
Just to confirm that automatic payment run will not pick up special GL transactions. It will only pick up open items posted to vendor /. customer reconciliation accounts?
Thanks.Hi
The configuration of FBZP for APP enables us to give the special GL Indicatiors to be included in the payment run.
Also you may give the spl. GL indicators to be included in the exception list.
Please give us your query to give more specific answers.

OBXR- Special GL Transaction Types - Modify Fields
Hello Gurus. We are on ECC 6.0 with New GL. Is there a way to modify which fields are available for the Special GL Transaction types in OBXR ? For example: In OBXR go to Properties. We selected Down Payment/Down payment request, later on when we enter a document via FB01 or FB50 or when we post a payment via F-28, and we select Posting Key 09 or 19 and use the Special GL Indicator we are able to display and enter information in BSEG-PRCTR (Profit Center field).
If on the other hand in OBXR we set up another Special GL Transaction type and we select Others, then BSEG-PRCTR (profit center field) is not even available, but we are able to enter BSEG-ZFBDT and later on modify this same field (BSEG-ZFBDT) via FB02.
I would greatly appreciate your guidance in how to modify/include additional fields in these Special GL Transaction types. Thanks!Hi Enrique,
Are you referring to the document screen layout when you enter the document in the special GL transactions?
This is controlled by the field status of the posting key in question. Using transaction code OB41you can double click on the posting key (say 09) and inside you find something called as maintain field status. Clicking on the same, you will be able to see various groups under which you can make the necessary settings like optional/reqd/suppressed.
Thanks

How to find the strategy group in sap sd?
Menu path for Strategy Group is:
Spro --> Production --> Production Planning --> Demand Management --> Planned Independent Requirements --> Planning Strategy --> Define Strategy Group.
OPPT -- Maintain Starategy Group
We can see Strategy Group in Material Master Record - MRP 3 - Planning -- Strategy Group.
10 - For Make to Order

Where do we maintain "Item Category Usage" at the master level?
Spro --> Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Item --> Define Item Category Usage
Item Category Usage: item category usages which control the usage of an item. Item category usage controls, for example, the system response if during document processing an item does not refer to a material but to a text item. Item category usage can also be maintained via the item categories
In contracts we are creating quantity contract and value contracts in that we only put the validity period after validity period that contract will close,but customer want before one month closing the period system should alert with popup box like this contract is going to close, for this sales manager can follow up the customer for renual the contract.
Getting a pop-up when the Contract is going to expire is not a Standard SAP thing. For this you need to do some programming. Instead of this the Std system has a reminder system where in the open Contracts and Quotaions are popped up when you about to create a sales order.
This setting is in the Sales order header ,
Goto -- VOV8 --- Quotation and Outline agreement messages
If you want to have different number range for different sales area where the settings to be done.
Number Rage are use to define what number to be assign to sales document type. Number range can be assign Internal or external.
In internal number range system automatically assign a number to sales document according to number range define in system.
In External number range user manually assign number to sales document.
For Assigning Number Range use T-Code VN01

You can use OBV1 - Interest calcualtion account assignment screen for configuring posting keys and accounts.T You need to check the box Special G/L Indcator here in account determination posting specifications detail screen.

Modify 'Interest' value in report of transaction F.26
Hi,
When I execute transaction F.26 'Customer Interest Scale', it displays the report which along with other details displayes the value of Interest.
I want to modify this displayed Interest amount such that if this displayed 'Interest' value is less than 'X' then 'X' should be displayed for interest. If 'Interest' value is greater than 'X' then that calculated interest amount should be displayed in the report (same as original).
What are the possible ways to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
-SiddhiI do not understand the purpose of this requirement but if at all reqd. You may try to copy the program and make change.
But it might be easier to do this just in excel, after downloading data from SAP.
