Ledger flow

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have a question on how the line items flow through ledgers. Any posting to leading ledger posts to all the parallel ledger to which the CoCd is assigned to.
Now the issue is we have 1 leading ledger, 1 US GAAP ledger and 1 local ledger. Due to the constraints in the country, we cannot post to the local ledger before migration (go live). So we have to put all the conversion data to flow through ONLY Leading and 1 parallel ledger. How should we go about this? Here are the options I could think of:
Options:
1. Create a ledger group with only leading and US gaap ledger and make the entries. The problem with this option is the OIM accounts cannot be posted to via this method.
2. Not assign the CoCd to 3rd local ledger till we go live. And then, once live assign the CoCd to this ledger thereby making the future postings to flow through this ledger. Is this valid? Can we do that or are there any constraints to this? Also, if there is a balance that needs to be posted to this ledger on a date prior to the creation date of this ledger, will that be posted to this ledger as long as the period is open on ledger?
Please advise...
Thanks,
N

HI Nandita,
I had seen most of your postings around NEW-GL.so i want to ask you this question : How are you handling partner profit center derivations.???
Have you faced any issues???
Thanks,

Material Ledger Value Flow Monitor CKMVFM question

Hello,
I am researching the Value Flow Monitor report CKMVFM. On my test material, it is showing a balance in FI, and a red indicator on the FI/ML status. I assume this means there is a discrepancy between FI and Material Ledger, but I don't know how to go about researching this. I have completed all steps in the Closing Cockpit. How do I explain the difference between FI and ML, or go about reconciling the two? Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Please Refer OSS : Note 744090 - Value Flow Monitor: Explanation and recommendations

Material ledger is not active in valuation area C002

Dear All,
I have a Scheduling Agreement for a material 'A' with Vendor 'V' with diff prices with validity dates, I did the GR & when i am posting the invoice thro' miro, system is throwing error as above Material ledger is not active in valuation area C002 Why should I activate the material ledger here ? Pls suggest how can i solve this ?
regds,
Kallu

Hi
For a Particular material, Material Ledger is active or not? Can be checked in Accountig view of Material Master.
Why we need Material Ledger?
A fundamental task of the material ledger is carrying inventories in multiple currencies and/or
valuations.
Material inventory values are normally carried by the SAP system in one currency. The material
ledger component enables the R/3 System to carry inventory values in two additional
currencies/valuations. Therefore, all goods movements in the material ledger are performed in up
to 3 currencies or valuations. Currency amounts are translated into foreign currencies at
historical exchange rates directly at the time of posting. Businesses such as those in highinflation
countries can therefore carry their inventories in a more stable currency (such as US
dollars). This reveals inflationary effects on inventory values.
If you use transfer prices to represent value flows in your company in different
valuation views, you must use the material ledger. This allows you to carry your
inventories in three different valuations (legal valuation, valuation for reporting
purposes, and profit center valuation).
Before activating the material ledger, make sure you know which currencies and valuations
you want to use, because you cannot go back and change the setting.
Activating the material ledger is a prerequisite for using multiple valuations.
Thanks

Material Ledger Unit Of Measurement different from Material Master

Dear Team,
In my client, there is a difference between unit visible in CKM3N and MM03. The base unit of measurement in MM03 is MT. Other than that, there are some other units maintained (not M3) in additional data tab in material master. In CKM3N, the visible unit is M3. M3 is not present anywhere in MM03.
Why would such unit flow in material ledger table? (CKMLPP has unit M3). Please advise.
One more observation is that when there is some price change document in Material Ledger, the proper UoM (MT) is being captured. Only in the basic price determination structure visible unit for each head is M3. Please check the attached screen shot.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Material Ledger - confirmation in different months

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem as follows:
We are using material ledger for actual costing. When we post partial confirmation for a production order in period t, goods receipt and goods issue is posted for period t. However, in some cases, confirmation is posted although one material has not arrived at the factory yet and that material is not assembled on the finished product in period t, but it is assembled in period t+1. In this case, when we close material ledger, we receive an error as "there are nondistributed rows" in transaction CKM3. How can I solve this problem either in logistics side or financial side?
Thanks and cheers,
Fatih Zenginer

Hi Faith,
Are you familiar with transaction CKMVFM - Value Flow Monitor? You can analyze Not Distributed differences with this transaction. The price limiter is the key.
Thanks,
Greg

FI Business Flow related to BW/ BI

Hi SDN,
I need some information regarding the FI Business Flow related to BW/ BI. Any case studies or scenarios would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Anticipation,
Ankit

Hi Ankit,
Not sure if you are looking for this..
In FI flow w.r.t. BI, basically there are 5 major topics/areas:
1. GL Accounting -related tables are SKA1, SKB1 Master dataBSIS and BSAS are the Transaction Data.
2. Account Receivables- related to Customer . All the SD related data when transfered to FI these are created. Related Tables BSID and BSAD.
3. Account Payable's - related Vendor. All the MM related documents data when transferred to FI these are created .
Related Tables BSIK and BSAKAll the above six tables data is present in BKPF and BSEG tables.You canalso link these tables with the help of BELNR and GJAHR and with Dates.
4. Special Purpose Ledger.
5. Asset Management- In CO there are Profit center Accounting and Cost center Accounting.

Gneral ledger Report- Remarks Problem

Hi
I am placing Some remarks in Incoming / Outgoing Payment, that has to come in general ledger report so it will be very easy to identify what kind of Entry this. This we can do it by placing In Journal remarks , But problem is It is 50 Characters only. How to resolve this...
Giri

Hello Giri - we use the Journal Remarks field in all documents also to tie things together in the Document Journal, the BP Account Balance window, and many other places where the Journal Remarks are displayed...you did not say what kind of information, so I am just guessing you might be thinking along the same lines we already have...
I do not think there is any way to expand the field (SDK folks will tell you, if you need to go that route)...
BUT what the company did was decide to have a standard and specific field appear in each document's "journal remarks" for each work flow in SAP B1. We also used the add-on package of BOYUM to make certain fields mandatory. Then we wrote a procedure to replace the "journal remarks" with that standard. For example, on the AR Invoice in the Sales - A/R module - the Customer Reference Number is set to mandatory. When someone enters the Customer Reference Number, the system automatically replaces the SAP journal remark of "AR Invoice - Cust Number" with the Customer Reference Number ("NumAtCard") from the header of the AR Invoice. When Incoming Payments are processed, the clerk copies that Journal Entry from the AR Invoice and pastes it in the Incoming Payment Journal Remark field...it works quite well...
As part of customer service, when the customer calls it is always good to reference their own information and look into the BP Accout Balance window or use Boyum's search function...
I know that does not solve your problem of making the Journal Remarks field larger, but maybe it is an alternative to look into???

Problem with General Ledger Budget Load

Hi All,
We are experiencing an issue wherein the Budget figures for general ledger are incorrect in the cube. The data-flow is 0FI_GL_10 to DSO (daily delta) to Cube (daily delta). There is a singular DSO and Cube for Actuals and Budgets. The figures in the DSO tally with R3. The delta from the DSO to the Cube is using Active Data Table of the DSO using DTP. The contents of the cube are exactly similar to those of Active Data Table i.e the new and old records both reach the cube and hence the inconsistency. I tried to do a selective deletion for a particular fiscal period from the cube and then doing a full update using both the Active Data and Change Log tables but the results are still the same. All key figures u2013 0BALANCE, 0DEBIT and 0CREDIT look affected. My questions are u2013
Is using Active Data Table rather than Change Logs for delta the reason behind this ?
Why is it only the Budget that is affected, Actuals and other versions look fine.
Do we need a different data-flow (like a daily delete and load into a separate cube) for Budgets ? Does SAP suggest something specifically for Budget loads.
Why does selective deletion for a particular fiscal period not working, do I need to do it for the entire fiscal year ?
Your expert opinion on this is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Document flow reference from ECC invoice to mySAP CRM complaint to be made

Hi,
I am using a BAPI program to create complaints in the mySAP CRM system; however the complaints have to be created with reference to invoices that are residing in the back end ECC system.
Since the complaints are not being created using the GUI, I cannot establish the doc flow while creating the complaints.
Is there someway I can make some table entries, etc... so that when I create the complaint in mySAP CRM using the BAPI:
1. I can see the invoice in the document flow as the preceding document
2. The reference of the line items from the invoice is also available in the relevant fields in the complaint line item (fields such as invoiced qty, net value, billing doc number, billing line item, etc)
Kindly advice on the same. Thanking you in anticipation.
Warm regards,
Dhaval.

Hi Raj. Here i see the following settings :
1) Define additional local currencies. Here is only 1 company code (not mine) with settings.
2) Define additional local currencies for ledgers. Here is a setting saying ;
Ledger =0, Summary Tabel =GLT0, Valuation =Legal valuation, Second Currency =Comp.Code currency, Third currency =Group Currency.
I have no idea whether these settings have anything to do with my problem. I had more the feeling that it is an error in the document flow program.
When you know more i would appreciate your info. Thanks. Ed

Material Ledger Active - K088 Settlement doesnt use Actual Cost Comp Split

Production Order quantities are all scrap (in confirmation) thus order balance contains Consumed Materials and Activity Allocation
When KO88 Settlement is run, the system uses Standard Cost Component Split to allocate the residual to Cost Components instead of the Actual Cost Component Split
When we run the flow trace, the message says:
"Splitting according to output material S-Price CCS"
Expectation was that costs would flow according to Actual Cost Component split.
There is note 756167 - This note activates the update of the actual cost component split information in the material ledger document when you perform the order settlements.
However current release is 604, so its expected that this is already applied.
Any help or insight on how to settle using Actual Cost Component split is appreciated.
Edited by: Chris Gibson on May 5, 2010 8:57 PM
Edited by: Chris Gibson on May 5, 2010 8:59 PM

The second option you mentioned of using separate value field for transferring the standard cost component split from the actual cost component split is the way SAP designed this integration between CO-PA and the Material Ledger. But 40 value field for cost component split is excessive. CO-PA allows up to 120 value fields maximum, so I agree it does not seem prudent to use 80 of them for this purpose.
I suggest you reexamine the level of detail you think may be needed in CO-PA and try to use CO-PC reports at the cost element level to report on more detail. Keep the CO-PA view more aggregated and you can stick with the standard solution for comparing standard to actual costs in CO-PA.

Thanks to previous responder for tip regarding JDK/JRE anchor strings. I'm not sure if that is a problem. After letting the install process (java.exe) run for over an hour, I finally got past the InstantiateFile step. It looks like the process just takes a long time with no visible progress sometimes. After 5-6 hrs, it looked like the install succeeded (for the most part). There were still some errors in the error logs related to the Concurrent Manager (TNS-12541: TNS:no listener) I believe. If anyone has insight on what this error msg means, I would greatly appreciate a reply.
The other problem I am tackling right now is how to explicitly set the Forms processing mode to HTTP rather than the default socket mode. According to the 11i docs (and Forms Developer 6i docs), you should only have to set "connectMode=HTTP" in the config file, appsweb.cfg, to make this happen. However, when I try bringing up a client form, the form hangs. So, obviously, something is amiss. A related question is whether one can run Forms in only HTTP mode and not HTTPS (and thus avoid having to install SSL). I would greatly appreciate any insight from fellow users.

Data flow can happen in finance module from many quarters in SAP and non SAP system depending upon the landscape of the ERP system implemented. I am giving below the general overview of data flow.
The Financial Accounting (FI) application component fulfills all the international requirements that must be met by the financial accounting department of an organization. It provides the following features:
Management and representation of all accounting data
All business transactions are recorded according to the document principle, which provides an unbroken audit trail from the financial statements to the individual documents.
Open and integrated data flow
Data flow between Financial Accounting and the other components of the SAP System is ensured by automatic updates.
Data is available in real time within Financial Accounting. Postings made in the subledgers always generate a corresponding posting in the general ledger.
Preparation of operational information to assist strategic decision-making within the organization
Integration:Integration of Financial Accounting with other components
All accounting-relevant transactions made in Logistics (LO) or Human Resources (HR) components are posted real-time to Financial Accounting by means of automatic account determination. This data can also be passed on to Controlling (CO).
This ensures that logistical goods movements (such as goods receipts and goods issues) are exactly reflected in the value-based updates in accounting.
Integration within Financial Accounting
Every posting that is made in the subledgers generates a corresponding posting to the assigned G/L accounts. This ensures that the subledgers are always reconciled with the general ledger.
Features: The Financial Accounting application component comprises the following sub-components:
General Ledger (FI-GL)
Accounts Payable (FI-AP)
Accounts Receivable (FI-AR)
Bank Accounting (FI-BL)
Asset Accounting (FI-AA)
Funds Management (FI-FM)
Travel Management (FI-TV)
Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL)
Hope I had been able to provide help to you. please reward points and let me know if you need anything in specific.

FI- Reconciliation ledger

Hi,
I would like to know what is meant by Reconciliation Ledger and How we can create Reconciliation Ledger in the SAP - Retail

Hi Ravi,
You can use reconciliation postings to transfer cross-company code; cross-business area or cross-functional area postings made in CO that are relevant to FI, and to automatically create reconciliation postings there. You can make these reconciliation ledger postings at any time
In the information system, you can compare the account balances between CO and FI for a particular period using reconciliation reports. In these reports, the system displays a difference for a reconciliation posting made outside of the period. The cost flow overview report is more suitable for checking reconciliation between CO and FI. To ensure that all reconciliation postings are transferred, you should only execute reconciliation at period-end, after closing all CO postings. If you execute reconciliation more than once, the SAP R/3 System only updates difference values since the last reconciliation run.
You can give me your personal Id, I can send you the documentation on step by step to be done in Reconciliation ledger.

Sridhar
