MR11 (GR/IR) Clearing in FM

After the upgrade to ECC 6.0, the postings created from MR11 are posting in FM as a value type 66. They should be posting as a value type 54. I can't find any configuration where this could be changed. Has anyone else run into this problem in FM and if so how did you resolve the problem?
Thanks,
Joyce

Dear Joyce,
According to your description, it seems to be related to financial transactions assigned to the commitment items involved in MR11.
This means that, if you are using commitment items all with FT 30, the system will consider it as a Transfer Posting (vt 66) instead of a 54. Please check your customizing as a possible cause.
However, there are some corrections for MR11, please check notes
1027015 "MR11 incorrectly updates Funds Management (FM)"
947703 "GR/IR clearing account creates incorrect FM updating"
if nevertheless the problem still persist, I would consider to open an OSS message.
I hope this can help.
Best regards,

MR11 - GR/IR Clearing account

Hi
There is a Service Purchase order with 2 services in it, amounting to USD 848.00 with a document creation date in 2003.
(Note: In the invoice item tab of PO, the Invoice receipt and GR-based IV are both flagged.)
The user did a service entry sheet (in the same year 2003) for above Service PO adding one more service line (loading cost) to it in the service entry sheet amounting to USD 40.00, which now has become a unplanned cost. So in the Service entry sheet, there are 3 services out of which 2 are from the Service PO and 1 newly added as unplanned cost.(Total amount is now USD 888.00)
On saving the service entry sheet which has automatically generated a Goods Receipt for this same amount of USD 888.00
The invoice for an amount of 848.00 referencing the Purchase order has been posted with final invoice indicator in the line item as flagged.
The accounting document shows posting as follows:
Vendor account USD 848.00
GR/IR account USD 888.00
Freight cost USD 40.00
But the user once again posted another invoice of USD 40.00 referencing the same Service Purchase order and also flagged final invoice indicator in the invoice line item.
So, the purchase order history in PO shows both the invoices as:
2nd Invoice - USD 40.00
1st Invoice - USD 848.00
Now, when looking into the GR/IR balances in transaction MB5S, system displays received quantity as 1 and invoiced quantity as 2. So we can infer that an extra invoice has been done.
While trying to clear the amount in transaction MR11, error message "No data selected. Check selection parameters.", is displayed.
When i tried to cancel the extra invoice of USD 40.00 in transaction MR8M, error message " Accounting document linked to this invoice already contains cleared items - reversal not possible."
Please provide a possible solution to clear this GR/IR Balance.
Regards
Maruthi Ram

I think the issue here in the first invoice you had included $ 40 as Unplanned delivery cost, while by definition unplanned delivery cost is something that is entered in the invoice directly without being part of the PO. That is why the system allowed you to post the invoice for $848. Given this is followed, the second line added in the PO is not required at all. Since it has been added, SAP allowed you to post another invoice. This is the reason for this difference not appearing in MR11. What you can do now is post a Journal entry directly into GR-IR account to nullify this. This might require chaning the GR-IR account set-up as normally only automatic postings are allowed in this account.

MR11 GRIR Account Clearing

Hello all,
The company I am working for has not been clearing the GRIR account since 2003. I'm attempting to clear the account with MR11. For calendar year 2004 I had 17 documents error because they were linked to 7 different POs that were linked to 1 WBS element and 6 Networks that have been closed. Does anyone have an idea on how to get these documents to clear without opening up the old WBS Element and Networks?
I look forward to your help.
Best regards,
Dan

I have tried using F.13 and what happens is the document is listed as a "Document that cannot be clrd" but there is no explanation as to why it cannot be cleared. Do you have any other suggestions?

MR11- GR/IR clearing account initial screen

On MR11 initial screen is there a way to add account assignment catagory e.g. K or A etc so we can get further details into expense items?
Also, Is there a way to get goods receipt date on the executed report?
Thanks
Raj

Hi Rajendra,
you cannot set it on the initial (selection) screen. But on the resulting listt, if you go into the 'change layout' screen (Ctrl + F8) you can add the account assignament group to the list of orders. Then you can also sort or filer on the field contents.
The goods receipt date is not contained. The general case is thet there might be multiple goods receipts for an item, so that it would be difficult to populate such a field in a sensible way.
But on the selection screen you have
<i>Last movement before key date
This field defines a selection criterium.
Only transactions are selected for which the date of the last goods movement is earlier than the date specified.</i>
maybe that helps...
best regards,
Udo

MR11 GR/IR Clearing Account Maintenance

Dear All,
Can anyone help me in understanding GR/IR clearing account maintanence,i do understand in case to nullify any negative balances we go for it, but want to know in details and when we do it for company code what is the impact it does have on accounts.
Thanks and Regards,
Sathya kumar.

Hi Satya,
Please go through the below paragraph , which is Self explanatory for accounting posting while maintaining ( clearing ) the GR /IR balances.
If there is a quantity variance between the goods receipt and the invoice for a purchase order, this results in a balance on the GR/IR clearing account. The system expects an additional goods receipt or an additional invoice to clear this balance. If this is not done, you must clear the GR/IR clearing account manually.
For a material subject to moving average price control, the offsetting entry for clearing the GR/IR clearing account is posted to the stock account (provided that there is sufficient stock coverage for the quantity difference):
If there is a delivery surplus on the GR/IR clearing account, the material was debited with too high a value when the goods receipt was posted. When the GR/IR clearing account is cleared, the material is credited accordingly.
If there is an invoice surplus on the GR/IR clearing account, the material was debited with too low a value when the goods receipt was posted. When the GR/IR clearing account is cleared, the material is debited accordingly
If there is insufficient stock coverage for this quantity, only the portion corresponding to the available stock is posted to the stock account. The rest is posted to a price difference account.
For a material subject to standard price control, the offsetting entry to clear the GR/IR clearing account is made to a price difference account. Thus, there are no value changes in the material master record.
Thanks & Regards

MR11 GR/IR clearing account error

Hi All,
I have an issue on Txn MR11 that my client is facing.
There are certain PO's for which when the GR/IR acount clearance is done through Txn MR11 it gives an error as "Update error : one or more purchase orders were not updated".
I have never worked on GR/IR acoount clearance. This is basically used to settle the GR/IR account when there are variances in the GR and IR quantities if am not wrong.When I observed these PO's I found that the GR quantity and the IR quantities for these PO's were same. But the still the client is doing MR11 adn getting the above error.Is there still a need to run Txn MR11 even when the GR & IR quantities are same?
Please let me know if my understanding of MR11 is wrong or we are missing something which is causing that error?
Regards,
V S

GR/IR Clearing transaction MR11

Hi All,
WE have been using in the past F.13 transaction to clear the GR/IR account by doing direct posting for the differences to the GR/IR Account. However we are going to start using MR11 transaction to clear GR/IR differences.
However I have lot of OLD records for the past years. Is there a way to get these records deleted from the system as we cannot process them now and doing that would mean changes to the G/L account values which we do not intend.
Does anybody know of a better solution or has anybody come across such situation.
Thank you in advance for your help.

HI Prashant,
since your question is 8 month old now, i would like to know how did you proceed. did you find a way to get rid of the old items. please explain because i am facing a similar issue!
Regards, Johannes

GR/IR difference visible in MB5S but not clearing via MR11

Dear gurus,
I am facing abnormal behaviour of the system. System is showing few POs in MB5s but not showing it in MR11 for clearing purposes. Has anyone faced the same situation ?
Regards,
FR

Transaction MB5S is used to analyse the purchase order history and will list all entries where the goods receipts quantity is not equal to the invoice receipts quantity. The report looks at the purchase order
from a logistics viewpoint.
What MB5S does is to look in table EKBE where the PO history is
stored.If there is any balance between the GR/IR , this is shown
in the report. Sometimes there is confusion in the interpertation of the results of
RM07MSAL. The aim of this program is to show how the GR is effectively valuated
if the existing invoices are taken into account, independently from how the GR itself was valuated (or not valuated).
MB5S is not the appropriate functionality for analysis of the clearing account.
Transaction MR11 will only pick up variances in quantity, not in values.
The aim of MR11 is to clear the GR/IR account, not the quantities.
However, an open item on the GR/IR account can only exist, if the
quantities are different (for normal POs with valuated GR).
MR11 posts like an debit/credit note with value 0 and the open quantity.
This clears the GR/IR account, and the quantities are cleared as well,
but only as a by-product of this mechanism.
POs with non valuated GR never have open items on GR/IR account,
because neither GR nor IR post to the GR/IR account.
For additional information about the MR11 transaction please check
the SAP note 10757 FAQ: MR11, clear GR/IR clearing account.

MR11 - Missing clearing documents

Hello,
we used MR11to clear old postings on account 191100. For the most FI documents a clearing document was created (I think automatically), but not for all. Is it possible to create clearing documents for some not cleared Fi documents manually or automatically? Thank you in advance for your help.
BR

Hi Ali Brim ,
MR11 is a month-end activity, by using this we can see the Missing clearing documents (Invoices)
For example: MIGO is happens with 100quantity but MIRO is happens with Quantity 90 difference 10 is showing in this.
when ever you post any differences between MIGO & MIRO it will appear in MR11, if you clear this automatically disappear from MR11, or else we can directly post/clear manually from MR11.

MR11 not clearing the GR/IR account done in foreign currency.

Hi Experts,
I have an issue and that is with the MR11. The MR11 is not clearing the GR/IR account for those purchase orders which are raised in foreign currency and consequently MIGO and MIRO too in the foreign currency however there is no quantity variance. There is no problem with local currency.
Can you please let me know what could be the problem.
Rgds,
BABA

Hi
Please maintain the GR/ IR accont with only balances in Local currency then you will be able to clear the account
goto FS00 , enter the GR/ IR account , enter the Compnay code Click on change & Clcik on the tab Control data , here flag the Only Manage Balances in Local Currency
This needs to be flagged for GR?IR account to avoid such problems
Thanks & Regards

MR11 Asset Clearing Issue

I am getting an issue when i am running MR11 for Asset Clearing
System issuing the following message:
Balance for transaction type group 10 negative for the area 01
Message no. AA629
Asset affected: 000091000008-0000
Diagnosis
With the transaction entered, the balance for the transactions in group 10 in area 01 will be negative in this fiscal year. However, the balance of transaction type group 10, according to its definition, must be positive in each fiscal year.
System Response
The system rejects this posting.
Procedure
Check the transaction type, the amount and the fiscal year in your posting. If you want to post a credit memo to an acquisition from the previous year, then use a transaction type for a retirement. If necessary, you can change balance rules after talking with your SAP consultant.

Hi,
Check asset master data in the depreciation area tab ''Negative postings allowed'' should be ticked or not.. We should tick this option for credit memos postings for an asset.
Thanks and Regards,
Padmaja
