Invoicing and Accounting Rules

Hello everyone,
Can anyone please explain me the functionality of 'INVOICING AND ACCOUNTING RULES' form in AR Module.
I need this get understood before I can start working on this form.
Any explanation will definetly help me.
Thanks in Advance.

Receivables and Revenue are two sides of the coin in an AR invoice.
Invoicing rule is concerned with Receivables. It determines whether the receivables should be recognized In advance (beginning of the period) or In Arrears (at the end of period). If In Arrears is used, it involves Unbilled Receivables.
Accounting Rule is concerned with Revenue. Depending on its definition, it determines the revenue recognition pattern in an invoice. Accounting Rule involves Unearned Revenue.
I am sure there is a lot of material in Metalink that you use.
Thanks
Nagamohan

  • R12: Create on-account Credit Memo with invoicing and accounting rules

    In R12.1.2: when using the AR_INVOICE_API_PUB it seems to be impossible to create a on-account Credit Memo with invoicing and accounting rules. The next errors are returned by the API:
    - AR_INAPI_INV_RULE_NOT_REQUIRED
    Do not include an invoicing rule if the transaction type's class is Debit Memo or Credit Memo.
    - AR_INAPI_RULE_NOT_ALLOWED
    Do not enter an invoicing or accounting rule for on-account credit memos
    Please advice how to create on-account Credit Memo with invoicing and accounting rules using an API.

  • Rounding Issue Excise Invoice and Accounting document

    Hi
    I have made and Excise Invoice with following values
    Base Price                          4110
    BED    10%                           411
    CESS   2%     on BED               8
    HEC     1%      on BED              4
    In the Excise Table J_1IEXCDTL also values for BED is updated as 411, CESS as 8 and HEC as 4
    But in Accounting Documetn following values gets updated
    Base Price                          4110
    BED    10%                           411
    CESS   2%     on BED               8.22
    HEC     1%      on BED              4.11
    So at times there is a difference in both Excise Invoice and Acocunting Document. We want same values should appear in Excise Invoice and Accounting Document. Since EXCISE does not accept value in paise, we need to round off the value to the nearest rupee and accordingly update the accounting document.
    My Pricing procedure mentions Cal Type as 17 Rounder off as per T001 R for BED / CESS  /HEC...
    Please guide...
    Regards
    Sanjeev

    Dear Sanjeev,
    Check whether there is a Condition type DIFF in the pricing procedure, and also in the invoice (conditions)
    Check whether there is any account key assigned to it, in the pricing procedure.

    Hi,
    Enter Sork Key 002 for Vendor Master Record.
    and also you can check the Report in ECC 6.0
    MIR5 - Display List of Invoice Documents
    There you select Export Mode --> Display Accounting Document Number.
    You can get Report FI and MM Document Numbers.
    Hope It will Clear.

  • Cancel down payment Invoice and accounting document without lines item

    Dear masters,
    I have a problem with down payment invoice cancel. As you know when doing invoice down payment request, after release to accounting, the accounting doc will have special G/L indicator is F (noted item). And when I cancel this billing down payment and after release to accounting, the accounting doc of cancel invoice will not have any lines item. Now I want to have lines item for cancel down payment, how can I do that? I really appreciate your support!
    Regards,
    Nguyen Pham.

    Dear Nguyen,
    As i understand your process you created Downpayment Request from SD.
    Then created Downpayment with reference to that request.
    Then you generated Billing invoice and released to accounts.
    After that you cleared the downpayment with the Billing document.
    Now you want to cancel all this.
    First cancel the downpayment by FBRA reset and reverse.
    Then cancel the billing document.

  • Invoice and Accounting Number ranges

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where the invoice number and the accounting document number should be same. Ie: If I generate an invoice with number 101. The same number should be populated for the accounting document as well.
    Regards,
    Sam

    Hi Sam,
    Yes. The path is SPRO -> Sales & Dist -> Billing -> Billing Documents -> Define number ranges for billing documents.
    I dont think you can have an external number range for a billing document. Infact the provision is not available in the billing document type config screen.

  • Invoice and Accounting Document

    Hi All,
    I have to develop a report where I need to show the amount that for the invoices that been posted in particular GL Account say 4100001.
    Selection Screen will be: Invoice number
                                             Invoice Create Date
    Here I want the relationship between the Accounting Document line items and the Invoice line items.
    When an Invoice is created, accounting document is posted. Amount for a paritcular line itema in the invoices may be posted in to different GL Accounts. How do I come to know that the line item in the Invoice is posted in these GL Accounts.
    (Discounts, Taxes and the net value may be in different GL Accounts).
    Thanks and Regards,
    Shravan G.

    Hello Shravan,
    The link between invoice & A/C'ing doc are the tables BKPF & RBKP.
    RBKP-BELNR = BKPF-AWKEY+0(10)
    RBKP-GJAHR = BKPF-AWKEY+10(4)
    You can also restrict the search on BKPF by adding this WHERE clause as well:
    BKPF-AWTYP = 'RMRP'
    You can search on SDN, it has been answered many time before.

  • Deferred Accounting Rule  and start date

    Hell Folks,
    I am facing some issues with deferred revenue and accounting rules.
    Here is the scenario
    1. We sell renewal maintenance to our customers in advance. So our sales team can sell renewal maintenances for duration 05/08 to 05/09.
    2. The payment terms are advance or net 30
    3. But we want to defer the revenue recognition for these till the start of the service. That is we should start recognizing the revenue starting 05/08.
    4. The accounting rule used for this purpose is 12 Fiscal Months.
    Now my problem is , the 12 Fiscal Months starts recognizing the revenue from the of receipt. But we want to defer this start recognizing from 05/08 as explained above.
    how can we achieve this ?
    ANy help will be very appreciated.
    Rgds,
    Venkatesh

    Hi Nagamohan,
    Credit Memo is applied to invoice line with deferred rule.
    If I issue credit memo on 18-JUN-08 with LIFO against a Invoice line which uses "Daily Revenue - All Periods" rule, the distributions show
    GL Date - Dr - Cr - Amount
    17-FEB-09 REV UNEARN 0.77
    17-MAR-09 REV UNEARN 39.07
    16-MAR-09 REV UNEARN 20.16
    The above amounts are exactly the reverse distributions as in Original Invoice line.
    I was expecting the same thing to happen in Deferred Fixed rule, but the only difference is for Fixed rule I cannot populate Rule_End_Date through Autoinvoice or manually.

  • Validation required so that invoice, billing and accounting is done on same

    Validation required so that invoice, billing and accounting is done on same date as the PGI date. Very urgent please help.
    Please look into the below scenario.
    Excise invoice posting date u2013 07.10.2011
    A/c doc posting date u2013 29.09.2011
    Reflecting in dispatch report of 07.10.2011.
    GL affecting in the month of Sep.
    So it want that on PGI date, billing , invoice and accounting enteries are created

    Dear Jalaj001,
    PGI date will be taken by system as the billing date in VF01 unless the user manually changes it.
    Accounting Posting date can be controlled by settings for document type RV.
    For excise invoice creation and posting date, i think you will have to use EXITs.
    But i am not sure and will leave it for the experts to comment upon.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Project Supplier Invoice Account Generation from Sub Ledger Accounting rule

    Hi gurus,
    we are implementing project module with the financial.
    We need to customise the Project Supplier Invoice Account Generation.
    We are preferring the Sub Ledger Accounting generation rule in place of the workflow method(where we need to customize the default workflow for account generation from AP to PA).
    We have done the setup for the SLA to generate accounting (from AP invoices TO pa). But still we are getting the same error("the system cannot generate distributions for line 1 because payable account function Project supplier invoice charge account has not been customized. please replace the dummy function in default account generation process"
    Please help me.. to solve the problem..
    As Its a very urgent customization on the verge of going live..
    thnkz in advance
    Regards
    Vishal

    Hi
    Customizing the Payables and Purchasing Account Generator for project related documents is mandatory. The accounting rules in SLA is optional.
    Since you said you are pleased with the set up of the accounting rules by SLA, you might set up a very simplistic account generator rule, so it will generate a constant account. SLA will later on override the constant by the real rules.

    Chintesh Soni

    Hi Chintesh Soni,
    The A/c 510050 is a CENVAT Clearing A/c that is set in the G/L Account Determaination - General Tab - Outgoing CENVAT Clearing Account.
    This a/c is a clearing a/c that is debited when Outgoing Excise Invoice is created and credited when Invoice is created.
    Plese  refer to the G/L posting of  A/c 510050. You may find
    1) A debit entry for Rs. 5587.75 which is posted because of the Outgoing Excise Invoice
    2) A credit entry for Rs. 5587.75 which is posted because of the Invoice
    Hope this clarifies your doubts.
