Hi Rajeswari
This is a common error that consultants make when implementing SAP Business One. There is no quick fix for this and the best is to create a new database and re-import all the transactions and masters. Make sure this time that the Display Credit Balance with Negative Sign is ticked.
Unfortunately this one tick affects the way amounts are posted to the journal tables & others and cannot be fixed manually. You could try raising a support message with SAP but I am sure they will tell you the same thing I have.
Kind regards

  • Negative sign for DMBTR field in ALV output

    Hi Experts,
    Before posting I have searched for more than 3 hours in the forums to get a solution for this.
    I did not get any solution so I am posting this problem which I need to resolve.
    I have to display the DMBTR field in ALV output for which a grand total will have to be displayed.
    Here for all the values in DMBTR which are negative are getting displayed as '-        6673.56','-       289956.23' as I am using the edit mask 'V_____________.__'.
    I have to get the value shown as '-6673.56', '-289956.23'.
    I tried to use convert this DMBTR to String and have successfully displayed the negative sign correctly in front of the value but I am not getting the totals which I need to have
    PLease check and suggest for a solution.
    Regards
    Kishore

    Hi,
      If this is the case, then you can use character field to display the sign on the left. Sum up the total and use the event end of list to display the same. Remember to set the TECH and NO_OUT in the field catalog.
    Hope this helps.

  • Entering a PO for Asset and Accrual accounts

    Hi,
    We need to enter purchase order for an Asset & Accrual accounts which do not belong to either a cost center, nor a
    work order.We are now entering these invoices without going thru the PO System.
    Any suggestions on this issue would be helpful.
    Thanks

    For accruals, you make an accrual entry which would Debit expense / Credit Liability,
    and then the following month that entry will reverse. These are usually set up as automatic reversing entries. Then
    when the AP invoice is processed, it will be coded to the expense account which is a Debit to Expense and Credit to
    Vendor, but since there will be an accrual reversal posted in the same account they will offset and if equal, net out to
    zero, if the amounts differ, then that difference hits the P/L at that point. It is clean and efficient. You don't have to
    review the accrual account to match up payments against accruals, etc.
    We cannot directly post to the Fixed Assets Balance Sheet Accounts. The PO would need to be
    coded directly to an Asset number, or to an internal order that would settled to the Fixed Asset system. The best
    practice SAP offers for capital expenditures is to use internal order for all purchases. The amounts post to the order,
    and are then settled to the balance sheet sytematically. This give you better reporting capabilites on your capital
    expenditures, and also makes the process run more efficiently.
    This is what I found in one of the other forums.

  • Difference in asset report & g.l account balance

    Hi All,
    we have 3 assets in assets report (AW01 & S_ALR_87011994) whose balance is not matching from gl account used for asset posting in AO90.
    Could you please suggest how there can be difference in asset report & gl account balance.
    Regards
    Deepak

    Actually you need to analyze this scenario deeply as there are so many reasons why the assets are not matching with the GL account.
    1. Legacy assets
         if this is a legacy asset make sure that the GL account balance is equal to the asset balances as of the transfer year
         to do this you can compare AHS (AR02) and GL balance (FAGLB03) as of the year of transfer
         if there is a discrepancies between the GL and asset, then there is a problem during migration
    2. Manual Adjustment
         Make sure that there is no manual adjustment posted on the GL accounts as manual adjustments or postings will only reflect to GL and not in asset
         to check this go to GL line item report and analyze all transactions and make sure that there is no adjustment posted on asset GL accounts.
    3. Human Error
         It is possible that you are comparing values in asset history sheet to your gl accounts not correctly.
         to make sure check again the mapping of your asset classes to account determination and then to the GL accounts.
    Thanks!

  • Display account balances for vendor PO's and GRPO's

    In the BP Master, there is a display for customers of the account balance, open orders, deliveries, and opportunities.  But for vendors there is only an account balance.  There should be a similar display for open PO's and GRPO's.

    Hello Marcia,
    Maybe you can have a try with Drag&Relate function then use Filter to just include Open PO/GRPO only, the total amount will be displayed at the bottom of Drag&Relate result window.
    Howeve this is not as convenient as the open balance field directly showed on BP Master Data field.

  • Asset and Inventory accounts

    Experts,
    Is there anyway you can clear these accounts or post to these accounts? - I understand that these are recon accounts and cannot be directly posted to. I am looking for a way to clear these recon accounts like for AR and AP ( Sub Ledger) accounts, we can clear them by vendor/customer # - Is there anyway we can clear these recon accounts i.e for Asset and Inventory. If so, what's the T Code?
    All answers would be duly rewarded with points.
    Thanks,
    Nandita

    Nimit,
    I was just giving an example of how we can clear AR and AP accounts(F-04 or F-44) - AR and AP accounts have nothing to do with Inventory and Asset accounts in our scenario. So is there anyway we can clear Asset and Inventory accounts in SAP ?
    The reason i am saying this is i need to clear the balance of all accounts in a Co Cd using a clearing account - When i am saying all accounts, i am talking about all accounts including sub ledger accounts - AP, AR, Inventory and Sub Ledger.
    AP and AR - i can take care of this by using vendor and customer number, as i cannot clear them by their accounts... However how do i do it for asset and inventory accounts ? Is there a way and if so how - tcode?
    Thanks,
    Nandita

  • Account Balance Reset on its Own before buying music

    I just tried purchasing an album for $9.99. Before making this purchase I had a store credit balance of a little over $13.00. When I clicked the "buy album" button, it knocked my available total down to $8.80 and took me to credt card information to make up the difference.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    You never purchase anything, Correct?
    The first thing you need to do is if the computer that you are using is shared among your family - make sure that you are signed into your own account. You can tell if you are in your own account by clicking on the iTunes Store on the left hand side. Then on the top right under the search will be your account name. In the same area right next to your name will show how much is on the account.
    If it is not your screen name there, sign out. You would do this by going to the store menu then click sign out. Then click on the store menu again & click sign in. If the account balance is still incorrect at this point I would other Chat with the iTunes Store Billing Department or email them. Try using the following link. At the bottom of the page it will show a "Chat Now" or "Contact Us" Button.

  • The option 'Display Credit Balance with negative sign" was not activated.

    I've encountered with a huge problem after load opening balance.
    I forgot to tick the  option 'Display Credit Balance with negative sign"
    It makes my client's Chart of Account  uncommon such as credit balance in Cash Account, AR .....
    However, I've search the sap  note to solve it  as follow:
      Description of the bug::     
    When creating the company in the system the option 'Display Credit Balance with negative sign' was not activated.
    Once transactions were created in the system the functionality can not be changed.
    Limits of the query:     
    After running the update query, please restart SBO first and then   run the restore 'GL account and bp balances';
    otherwise, the cashed value of SBO will not be updated and restore function may not take effect.
    1. Meaning of  restart SBO => restart SBO Service Manager right?
    2. Please help me please to find "The restore G/L account and bp balances" form.  Where is it?;
    Thank you

    Hi,
    I would think that you are following the PEQ instructions for note 970813, correct?
    If this is the case and you are using 2007 then you will find the restorev in the top menu; Help -> Support Desk -> Restore. You will find the functions here. Please note that this should only be used on direct instruction from support or a note like in this case. A backup should also be taken before running restore.

  • Balance Sheet not showing correct sign for Liability and Equity

    Hai,
    I am using SAP PL 40,
    In SAP Balance sheet Report,
    Liability Ledgers and Equity Ledgers is not showing correct sign. i mean,
    In my Liability Ledger the value is
    INR-10000.
    In Balance sheet it showing 
    INR1000.
    And also, is it possible to bring Dr and Cr column in Balance Sheet?
    Now, it's coming in single Column.
    Please help me out.

    Hi
    It's the system definition that under Standard Balance Sheet Report, the
    Liabilities are displayed with POSITIVE SIGN although we know that the
    balance for those liabilities accounts are negative. The reason for it
    is that the liabilities accounts are defined as Passive Account, so when
    the balance is negative, it's displayed with positive sign.  And when
    the balance is positive, it is displayed with negative sign. The
    definition is mainly for the purpose of the reporting. In most of the
    localizations, the financial reports supplied by the business should
    display Liability and Equity with positive sign.
    If you really want to display them in negative sign , you can define a
    customized report template in Financials->Financial Report Templates->
    and select all liabilities and tick the box in front of 'Reversal Sign'.

  • Reversal of sign for credit accounts in FDQM

    Hi
    I am using FDQM to load data.
    The client requires data to be loaded wherein all his Income and Liability accounts are NEGATIVE in the TB and all Asset and Expense accounts are POSITIVE.
    Hence the load file will sum total to zero always.
    I am not sure if this can be built in FDQM so that it looks at the account, and for accounts of type Income and Liability it reverses the sign.
    Can this be done by using FDM scripts?
    ANy help on this feature will be appreciated.
    Regards
    MKD.

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply. But i could not understand which screen you are referring to.
    If you are referring to "IMPORT FORMAT" screen and column for EXPRESSION, then this will reverse the signs of all accounts.
    We allready have the accounts marked as "ASSET/LIABILITY/EXPENSE/REVENUE" in Dimension properties. It is this property that needs to be used.
