More Special G/L indicators

Hi everyone
I have a request concerning the special G/L indicators in SAP. Is it possible to extend them in some way? Accounting wants to use more than A-Z and 0-9. I know that is quite a lot but is there any way to get more then this number of indicators into the system?
Thanks for your replies!
best regards
Martin

Hi Martin,
Using Sp GL indicator this way will be a misuse, becuase special GL indicators are generally used for Special transactions like Down payment, Bill of exchange. And again you have to keep in mind, that in a company only 10 special indicators are allowed in the automatic payment program config. More posting with special GL indicators will not be user friendly option for line item reports.
You can do following config:
Step1) AP & AR> Business Transactions>Postings with alt rec account > Define Alternative reconciliations.
Map your standard recon account with all the possible alternative recon accounts that you want to post to a vendor
Step2) Make the check box Indicator: Reconcil.acct ready for input at time of posting is checked in the Create/Bank/interest tab of the Recon account master data in the relevant company code. T-Code FSS0
Now when the user is posting to the vendor, he has the option to change the "Recon account" to any other recon account he has mapped to this main recon account in step 1
Thanks

Field Status Group for Special G/L Indicators

Could you define different field status group for special G/L indicators? My problem is I am using two different special G/L indicators but their recon accounts are assigned with the same field status group. I used the same posting keys as well. But when it comes to general posting, they have different screen numbers. One SAPMF05A 303 and the other one is SAPMF05A 304. How did this happen?

Hi Noel,
As you have defined Field Status Group for 2 different SPL GL Indicators then it will create 2 different screens only as it wont consider the reconciliation account.

Hi Anubhav,
Please refer in this code:
DATA : INT_VAR TYPE /BI0/OIPOSTXT.
DATA : length TYPE i.
DATA : num type i.
MOVE SOURCE_FIELDS-SGTXT TO INT_VAR.
TRANSLATE int_var TO UPPER CASE .
num = 0.
length = STRLEN( int_var ).
DO length TIMES.
   IF int_var+num(1) CN
   ',<>?/\:;"''ABCDEFGHI JKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!%^&*()__+=1234567890'.

Automatic Clearing - Special G/L indicators

Hello fellas!
Does anybody know how can I clear vendors and customers documents in F13E/F.13 with different special G/L indicators?
Or someone have another alternative?
By the way..I donu2019t want to use F-32.
Happy Holidays! Have a great new year!
Thanks,
P.

Hi Marwan,
You can clear automatically normal items with special GL transactions. The reason is the entry are posted with different reconciliation account for both transactions. If you really want to clear automatically, then you have to follow below steps.
1. Define clearing criteria as assignment field (ZUONR) & document currency (WRBTR) in automatic clearing for customers. Suppose if you define a field ZUONR (assignment), then both the documents should have same value.
2. Clear the down payment clearing against the invoice in F-39
3. Then run automatic clearing f.13. The system will clear the documents automatically.
Hope it understands you.

Mukthar

Question: Special G/L Indicators

Hi
I am trying to extract a report where I need a logic to recognise the kind of special G/L Indicator the user enters from the selection screen.
Below are the G/L indicator categories in which a user can enter an appropriate Special G/L indicator:-
CUSTOMER              Special G/L Indicator excluded(Statistical Items)
VENDOR                    Special G/L Indicator excluded(Statistical Items)
CUSTOMER               Special G/L Indicator for Downpayment/ Advance
VENDOR                   Special G/L Indicator for Downpayment/ Advance
VENDOR                   Account group- Vendor for Commission
No noted items are required in the report.
I don't want to hardcode the Sp G/L indicators in the code to decide whether it's for Downpayment/Advance or other.
But, looking for a logic which SAP must be using. Like in fbl1n , a checkbox is provided to select for noted items , that shows, SAP has a logic to recognise that it is a noted item.( no offsetting entries) .
Please provide any insights.
Thanks.

Hi,
Please check the table T074U there is a indicator for noted items based on account type that should help you to filter out the noted items.
Thanks and Regards

How do I restore my iPhone? It has iPod touch information on it (pictures, keyboard is different - no more special symbols, etc.)

How do I restore my iPhone? It has iPod touch information on it, like old pictures that I had on my iPod touch (which I don't use anymore), and the keyboard has changed. Before I could use special icons and symbols, and now it's just basic (no shapes or anything). Is there any way to restore my iPhone to the condition that I bought it in? I don't want to have to buy another one, since I just got it.
I also recently changed my Apple ID and password...could this have anything to do with getting my iPhone messed up?

F-32 Difference Postings with Special G/L indicators

When we clear AR line items using F-32, and all the transactions we are clearing have the same Special G/L indicator, any difference posting generated does NOT get allocated to that Special G/L indicator, which is NOT what we want - e.g. if we clear the "C" account, then we want any automatically generated AB on account difference posting to also go to the "C" account, but it goes to the normal trading account (i.e. with no Special G/L indicator).
Does anyone know this can be changed via configuration?
Thanks.

Hi
A payment recorded with special GL indicator is automatically set as locked. This is sap program and cant be changed. When the related invoice is recorded , the down payment can be cleared with it using F-39, provided the down payment relates to the same sales / purchase order.
For the difference in customer amount, its difficult to answer as it may be due to wrong account selection or wrong amount entered in customer.
Thanks

Slight Change to Forum Layout - More Special Interest Boards

Hello Everyone,
Today I added links to additional Special Interest Boards that you can see on the Special Interest Boards Category page. To get to this page click on the link in the picture, or follow the Special Interest Boards breadcrumb:
Hopefully this will make it easier for you to find some of the specialty boards you like to visit.

I was wondering when we would get easier access to some of those hidden boards. Thanks.
Would it be possible to hide the description for those boards (maybe on a per-user basis). I have several of these floated and that text just creates noise and gets in the way. It's not terrible, but it's a bit annoying.
Alternatively, if it's unfeasible to set it as a per-user setting, how about just hiding them when the board is floated? Presumably, whoever floats a board knows what the board is about and doesn't need a description.
Try to take over the world!

No more special folder icon after moved My Documents to network

Hi,
I am on W7 Pro SP1 64bit in workgroup mode. Recently I moved (or folder redirection) the Documents (aka My Documents), My Pictures and few others user folders (those user folders in \Users\<User_Name>\<folder_name>) to a network share hosted
by a non-Windows NAS. At the same time, Offline Files ("Always Available Offline") feature was turned on for those folders. Everything works fine but I no longer get the unique folder icon for each of these said folders. These folders used to be like this...
but now they become like this...
i went to Properties but "Choose Folder Icon" button is not available...
when i unhide hidden and system protected files, i could see the desktop.ini is there.
anyone know how can i restore the folder icons?
any help is highly appreciated! TQVM in advance!
TQ! Jacko

Hi,
As you can see, these icons indicate that these folders are offline files, based on my research, this is by design so as to we can know what files are offline files.
Have a nice day.

Report S_ALR_87012085 , field Special G/L commitments

Hi,
A background of my requirement:
I want to have a vendor aging report. I have explored & identified that there are two standard reports available for the same:
1. S_ALR_87012085
2. S_ALR_87012078
I have run through Forumn & haven't got any answer for my query hence posting a new query. I need to understand some area in relation to these two reports.
Our requirement from a vendor aging report is to have multiple level summation from the point of view of Co. Code; then under Co code -> Account(vendor or Customer); then under Account detail list with seperate summation based on Spl. GL indicators for each Business Area.
Need guidance on:
1. S_ALR_87012085 : This report more or less satisfies my requirement except no seperate summation is happenning on the basis of Spl. GL indicators. However, in this report there is a input field is available 'Special G/L commitments'. I am putting values 'AW' here but no different output is coming whether we use this field or not. Please guide the purpose of this field & how to use the same. The document part says:
"List of Special G/L Inds for which Balances are Displayed
    List of the special G/L indicators for which separate balances are to be
    displayed in the specifications for the master record area. If special
    G/L transactions were posted which are not included in this list, the
    balances are summed up under "Other commitments". Noted items are not
    taken into consideration."
2. S_ALR_87012078: There is a report already existing '0SAPDUEAN-01' under the report type 'Line item analysis'. This report also doesn't satisfies my purpose completely. So I need a guidance whether I should modify a current report or create a new report. Also whether this transaction supports two report & provide us an option to choose either while executing the report?
Also in many threads it is written that,
' Go to transaction code FDI4
Select Form Type RFFRRD20 Line item analysis'
But I am not able to see this form type in my system. I am running on SAP 4.7.
Awaiting response......
Thanks,
Akhil

Dear AB2312
I undersood what you are saying, to put Spl GL recon account in the 'Line Item Recon A/c' field. But my purpose is still not resolved. I need to run S_ALR_87012085 once with all the input parameters & output should have multiple level summation as pointed by me in my first Post. Thats why I was wonderring what purpose 'Special G/L commitments' field serve.
Any suggestion on S_ALR_87012078 this as well?
Regards,
Akhil

Travel advances per special g/l indicator - activate HRV

Hi all experts!
I'm on an assignment where the customer wants to change the procces of travel expense advances. Today, the advance is debited on a short term asset account and credit the vendor account. The advance is paid out to the employee and the payment is debited the vendor account. The actual trip expenses is debited a cost account and credit the vendor account. If the trip expenses is lower than the travel expense advance, there will be a debet post on the vendor balance. This way of handling the surplus of cash advance makes it more difficult to analyze and settle the surplus of the employee.
The customer wants to follow up the cash advance by special g/l indicator. I have search for how to make this field available in the tables of Travel management where You define the assigment to symbolic accounts in Travel management to accounts in Financial accounting.
There is a procedure called HRV trip costs posting Advances which would enable this.
How do You activate this procedure in the IMG?
Best regards
Eva

Hi Raynard!
Many thanks for Your reply!.
As I understand from the linked information, standard SAP does not include the use of special g/l indicators regarding cash advance in Travel Expenses/travel Management. The procedure HRV is not anymore valid for this purpose. Right?
The feature TRVCT, is that a BADI?
Best regards Eva

Screen layout for Special G/L indicator

Hi everyone!
I would like to know if you create a new special g/l indicator, you can change the screen layout that the system gives you. I need to create some which can have a screen layout similar to the one used in 01 key account.
Thanks in advanced,
Olga

Hi Santosh,
I´m going to give you some examples about what I want to do. First, I would like to used the special G/L indicator H security deposit which is configurated like as others special G/L transaction types. When I post with this Special G/L indicator the system shows me some fields in the accounting screen layout such as "Due on", "Invoice reference", "Assignment", etc. I would like to change this screen layout because I need fields like "Payment terms", "Payment block indicator", etc. What I did was to change field group status of the reconcilation account that this special G/L indicator has, and key accounting configuration that this special G/L indicator uses. It doesn't work because I make these fields optional and the system didn´t show me those.
Other I need to do It's make new special G/L indicators because I need to post with a different reconciliation account and I need to configurated the screen layout with fields such us Payment terms, Payment blick indicator, etc. I mean I need to create my own screen layout.
I don´t know if this gives you more details about what I want to do.
Thanks so much.
Best regards, Olga

More than one VI at a time (i.e. multitasking)

Hello.
I currently work in a lab where we use LabVIEW to control an multifunction instrument. We use the sofware both for data acquisition (through Ni-DAQ) and for physical control of things like stages, and frequency generators (e.g. through GPIB). There are a few programs that do very simple things (like move a stage with a joystick, or turn a laser on and off) that I would like to run continuously in the background while I run other more specialized software (like a data acquisiton routine). However, when I run more than one VI at the same time I run into very bad timing problems. Some of my programs require this kind of multitasking and I have implemented it using a sort of Master loop (similiar to the Master/S
lave paradigm discussed on the NI website).
If I were to purchase the compiler and build executables out of some of the VIs, would I be able to run these in the background while LabVIEW runs other VIs without running into timing issues?
Also, if I build executables from some of the VIs would these VIs be able to access global variables that LabVIEW is using (I assume the answer is no, but I figured I'd ask).
Thanks,
Josh

First, do you know where your timing problems are coming from? Are some of those background tasks very processor intensive, or is the problem that you're sharing subVIs that aren't reentrant (and hence may be "blocking" each other)? Have you tried multithreading the application yet (running the motion control in one thread and the laser control in another, for instance)?
Splitting your tasks between multiple executables might help, but it will almost certainly increase the overhead of each background task, and you will not have common access to global variables. You could, however, work around that by instituting a common data repository as one of your background tasks (presumably accessed through a messaging interface).
In fact, I would probably suggest
this as a method of performance optimizing your application anyway -- if you are using globals extensively for parallel operation, they might be part of the blocking problem.

Down Payment Request - Special G/L Indicator F

Dear all,
While posting Vendor Down Payment Request (tcode: F-47), I encountered the following error message:
Special G/L indicator F is not defined for down payments
Message no. F5053
Diagnosis
The specified special G/L indicator is not classified as "down payment" or not listed in the list of the target special G/L indicators for indicator "F".
I have performed the following configuration for Special GL indicator F:
Tcode: OBYR or FBKP
Account type = K, Special G/L Indicator = F. I have set the recon account from vendor master into the list of the account, also the Planning Level = FF.
I click on the Properties button, and following is the setup of the Properties:
Noted Items  select this check box.
Target Special GL Indicator: AF
Special G/L Transaction Types: select Down Payment/Down Payment Request.
Can you please kindly share how to solve this issue? Thank you very much in advance.
Kind Rgds,
Dahlia

Hi Dahlia,
There are 2-3 things that you have to take care while posting Down Payment request.
1. Define F as Down Payment request ( this is std. provided by SAP)
2. Check box Noted items.
3. In target Spl GL, enter A..this is very important as this is the place where you are linking F to A
4. In spl GL transaction types, select the radio button Down payment/Down Payment Request.
5. Now in Spl GL A, take care that In spl GL transaction types, the radio button Down payment/Down Payment Request is selected.
