OBYA - Intercompany transactions

Hi,
I would like to better understand the scenarios where the clearing accounts in transaction "BUV" (Tcode OBYA) should be set as GL postings and vendor postings.
I am very familiar with settings in OBYA as Dr (40) & Cr (50) of GL accounts. When an intercompany transaction is posted, the system uses the clearing account specified here for the missing leg in each of the CoCodes.
The above set up would also work if the paying company code is different in AP. I understand that trading partner fields can also be populated with the above setting.
I am not clear on scenarios where the interco clearing accounts are specified as vendor accounts. Any information that would help me to better understand this would be great.
Thanks,
SD.

Great question!  I think you define intercompany customers/vendors in OBYA, as opposed to clearing GL accounts, when several entities under one umbrella have contracts between them in such a way that they need to generate intercompany receivables/payables when they transact with each other.  Meaning, the need to generate sub-ledger entries.  If there is no such need, you just assign a clearing GL account in OBYA.  At a consolidated level (when you add up the numbers of all entities at the corporate level for external reporting purposes), the balance in clearing account should automatically net to zero.

  • Intercompany Transaction Error

    Hi
    I'm currently having an issue doing intercompany transaction
    In FB50 the following transaction have been made
    8xxxxxx DR 10000 ( Cocode 1000) with tax type A0
    6xxxxxx CR 10000 ( Cocode 2000) with tax type V0
    When i try to simulate it gave me an error saying Trading partner in account xxxxxx cocode 1000 not valid.
    I have setup the vendor/customer master data and have input the trading partner field
    I used OBYA to setup the intercompany clearing account
    I have used OB28 to setup the proper validation
    Is there any steps i missed or have not done? or anything i should check?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi...
    As per your issue
    Trading partner must be the same in the both case (for both the company codes)..than only you can able to process.
    I think in your case the company (trading partner) may be different  for both the company codes
    Please check and confirm

  • Intercompany Transactions Configuration

    I have a question about configuration for intercompany transactions.
    OBYA does not work in Europe because each company code in our case is separate legal entity and in Europe to be able to make intercompany entry you need to have billing document and there are VAT implications as well.
    SO OBYA is not an answer.
    Does somebody know what needs to be configured in SD (AR side ) and MM (AP side) and FI ( )so when intercompany transactions are created, they can be automatically billed and created automatically entries (with VAT) on both sides in bot involved company codes for AP and AR?
    To make my question more clear I give example of scenario:
    Selling organization one country (egz Spain) company code 0341, customer in Portugal (ship to  and Bill to Portugal) delivery from warehouse in Germany company code 0491
    So I have 2 documents created
    1. Sales invoice from selling organization in Spain to Customer  in PT.
    2. Intercompany billing from Germany to Spain
    What I found out so far is that AR is not complicated but AP side requires kind of EDI configuration.
    I would very much appreciate answer on my question.

    Hi Edyta,
    I came across such scenario in my last project.
    You can meet your requreiment via IDOC functionality. Being from FI, I just testing wrt tax codes. While testing, billing was done in Germany, later accounting entry is automatically posted in Spain.
    Please check on IDOCs functionality.
    I would try to share more information in m ynext reply.
    Kind regards,

    we have 2 theories after showing the exception trace to folks who r more adept at managed code.
    the first is related to the fact that our 3rd party dlls (I think entity framework is included in these) r older versions.  I don't want to discount this theory but we have some evidence already that this might not be true.
    I hope I can do justice to the 2nd theory but will make it clearer and clearer as I get a better understanding.  I believe this is what Arthur was saying and I applaud his instincts.  They explained that .net is so "smart" that it detected
    a change in namespace  (ie context as Arthur said) and purposely threw an exception 2 save us from ourselves.  The workarounds discussed were a bit over my head but I will continue trying to better understand it.  The fact that many of the methods
    we call after reflection r now merged into one assembly seemed relevant to the discussion and possible workarounds.   
    this link came up in their discussion and I believe the bottom line here is that by qualifying assembly names further (in config?)r, a workaround is possible. 
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.type.assemblyqualifiedname(v=vs.110).aspx  .
    This link came up as well and has something to do with ILMerge and workarounds to ILMerge. 
    http://elegantcode.com/2011/04/02/dynamically-load-embedded-assemblies-because-ilmerge-appeared-to-be-out/  .
    Finally, this link came up and seems to have something to do with embedding your dlls in one assembly without them losing their identity.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/microsoft_press/archive/2010/02/03/jeffrey-richter-excerpt-2-from-clr-via-c-third-edition.aspx

  • Intercompany Transactions code

    can any body give me intercompany Transactions code for all accounting entries

    Hello,
    code to set up cross company code configuraiton is OBYA.
    Enter Company Code 1 and Company Code 2.
    Enter Posting Key and GL Acct in Company Code 2 for Posting Made in Company Code 1 and to be cleared in Company Code 2 (for both payables and receivables).
    Enter similar configuraiton for for Posting Made in Company Code 2 and to be cleared in Company Code 1.
    Cross Company Code Transactions
    A cross company code transaction involves 2 or more company codes in one business transaction. For a cross company code transaction, the system will post a separate document in each of the company codes involved.
    Examples for cross company code transactions are:
    u2022One company code makes purchases for other company codes (Central Procurement)
    u2022One company code pays for other company codes (Central Payment)
    u2022One company code sells goods to other company code
    Steps:
    u2022Create Clearing Accounts in each of the company codes.
    The Clearing Accounts may be GL Accounts, Customer or Vendor Accounts.
    u2022Configure the Automatic Postings for Cross Company Code Transactions by assigning Clearing Accounts for both the company codes.

  • Intercompany Transaction Flow Set-up when O/U's are not different

    I am seeking to know if it is possible, using I/M Intercompany Transaction Flow, to use the same O/U for start and end O/U? I can get the record into the system with same O/U's, but am denied nodes and the ability to use Intercompany Relations.
    My company currently relies on using the MTL_INTERCOMPANY_PARAMETERS record to point to the I/C CCID wherein seg6 contains the Intercompany segment of the g/L account. Understand, this is a customized method.
    The problem we are experiencing is the ship from customer is under the same O/U as the sold from. However, this is a differnet company legally and needs to be processesed as Intercompany.
    I think the answer is self-evident in the Oracle forms as to what is allowed or not, but perhaps there is something I am overlooking to allow me to utilize the function.

    Hi EMSS,
    When you say intercompnay transactions, do you mean IR-ISO?
    We can create an IR and ISO both in same opearting unit. The whole setup is same as any other IR-ISO except for the setup in Intercompany transaction flow. Process wise, its exactly same upto ISO shipment and costing the material transactions.However, we will not be having any intercompany AR or AP invoices generated. The accounts are netted out. (we are using this in one of requiremetns and we are in R12.1.3. I am not sure from which version this is available)
    Coming to accounting transactions - we used SLA for hitting the right accounts as requried by business.
    Note: We cannot have any logical intercompany transactions within same OU.

  • Mapping of Intercompany transaction between SRM & SAP R/3

    Hi SRM gurus,
    We have a scenario where the client wants intercompany transactions to be mapped between SRM & R/3.
    i) they say according  to interco transactions, using SRM PO, the following journal entry will be posted upon GRN:
                        Dr           Expense
                             Cr          A/P to Co Code 1 for SRM Vendor code
    Question : if co code 1 recognizes A/R in Intercompany code, can we match the balance i.e : is it possible to recognize "A/P to Co Code 1 for SRM Vendor code" as Intercompany balance
    ii) When Co. 1 pays for pdts / services on behalf of Co. 2, an intercompany, the journal entry will be as follows :
    Co. 1 : Payment voucher (FB60)
    a) on GRN :
                        Dr   Prepaid promotion
                              Cr    GR/IR Clearing
    b) on IR :
                        Dr    GR/IR Clearing
                              Cr    A/P to Vendor
    Co. 1 : Journal Entry (FB70)
    Charge to Co. 2
                        Dr. A/R from Co. 2
                              Cr.  Prepaid Promotion
    Co. 2 : Journal Entry (MIRO)
    On Invoice Recipt to Co. 1
                        Dr. Expense
                              Cr. A/P to Co. 1
    Is it possible to make a set of journal entries as below by make config changes in SAP R/3 :
    Co.2 :
    Upon GRN : Dr Expense
                           Cr GR/IR Clearing
    Upon IR :   Dr GR/IR Clearing
                           Cr A/P to Co.1
    Co.1:
    Upon IR :   Dr. from Co. 2
                           Cr. A/P to Vendor
    The client wants to track the above postings scenario through old vendor code which is used as SRM vendor code and which is same as maintained in R/3 vendor master "Previous acct. no." field in Accounting view. To me the above entry on IR in R/3 is not at all feasible.
    Like to have your expert suggestions on the above scenario how to map b/w SRM & SAP R/3.
    Rgds,
    Samik

    Hi. What exactly are you looking for with the vendor material number? Note 444976 and 412817 are about it not transferring, butthey are very old, you have not said what version of SRM you are using.
    For the goods receipt, I doubt there will be a note to let you set the posting date or document date in the backend based on approval date, but you can easily use BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI method BBP_CONF_CHANGE to set this date to whetever you want.

  • Tax on intercompany transactions

    Hi gurus,
    when we do the intercompany transactions  for a free of charge invoices, SAP still incorporate Tax on the invoice. AP didn't want to see the tax on these free of charge invoices. we are using Taxware as our third party Tax software, any help to resolve this issue will be really appreciated. Points will be awarded.
    Thank you
    Priti

    To keep it simple, you should create a new Tax Code for  Tax Code for Intercompany Transactions (if you have anything already where the tax will be 0, you can use that also).
    The T Code to use it is FTXP.
    The Tax percentage rates for the 2 condition types XP1I and XP2I need to be Zero ( considering this tax code will be used by AP process) - If it's by AR process, the condition types that need to be zero are XR1I and XR2I.
    Hope that helps..
    Thanks,

    Hi experts,
    I need your guidance/suggestion for the issue i have in Intercompany accounting.
    we have setup many-to-many intercompany in GL. Even for
    transactions involving two companies, we want the intercompany line created during posting ,to
    take a specific balancing segment. Posting job replaces only the due from/due to account but the company segment that we define.
    oracle std functionality has a default clearing company concept. In this all
    intercompany trasnactions tht we create for a specific source /category wud go to just 1 default clearing company. But our
    requirement is ..for companies x,y,z ,it shud go to company 100 and for others it should go to 200 ..
    But oracle doesnt support more than one clearing company. Has anybody faced same situation ?
    Any pointers to workarounds /customisations wud help.
    Thank u so much for ur time.

  • OBYA Intercompany postings..

    Hi
    I have newly created a company code, configuring OBYA intercompany clearing accounts.
    However i am need to create master data for the clearing g/l accounts and i am faced with below questions
    1: Intercompany clearing account be Balance Sheet or P&L accounts.
    2: What account group should i give in master data
    3: Open item management /line item display??
    4: Any other master data settings.
    Appreciate your help
    Thanks,
    Reddy

    1: Intercompany clearing account be Balance Sheet or P&L accounts.
    2: What account group should i give in master data
    3: Open item management /line item display??
    4: Any other master data settings.
    1. You can maintain them as Blance Sheet GL Accounts. (as these are inter company receivable amount of payable amounts - like assets or liabilities)
    2. You must have created suitable accounts groups, for example Balance Sheet Items
    3. Activate Open item Management and Line item display activated for these accounts.
    4. Please let me know if you need any further doubts in specific.

  • Intercompany Transactions in CO

    Dear Experts,
    i have one clarification for the intercompany transactions in the controlling module.
    Actually we have created one controlling area and many company codes for multiple countries which belongs to the controlling area.we have  taxation rule in some countries so we want to deactivate the intercompany transactions in the company codes which have a taxation rules.please be noted that the authorization object is the controlling area in our CO module.
    could you tell me what will be the best approach ?
    Thanks

    You can do that with a controlling validation (call up point = 2, Internal CO Posting: Send/Rec Val), checking COBL_RECEIVER-BUKRS and COBL_SENDER-BUKRS.

  • Need Help on Intercompany transactions

    Hi Peers ,
    I am a beginner in HFM , I got some doubts in IC module
    Can someone explain real-time scenario of IC in a Company ?
    How do we achieve eliminations ?
    Im aware of metadata settings , Flagging accounts , Entities as IsICP . and Defining a plug account for the account, usage of reason codes
    But what bugs me is Auto Match , Manual Match , Match By Transaction ID , Match By ID .
    Please help me out
    - Regards

    There is a difference between what we call the IC or ICP (Intercompany Balances) features, and what we call the ICT module (intercompany Transactions).
    You can enter Intercompany Balances as normal data between a source entity and a partner using the ICP dimension (one of the 12 standard dimensions) and you can run Intercompany Matching system reports to analyse the matching balances and check for mismatched balances. The consolidation process performs the Intercompany Eliminations (using the Proportion and Elimination value members and plug accounts) as documented in the HFM documentation. But obviously a balance data point is only the total for all the similar transactions between two partners in a whole base period i.e. the aggregation of everything that happened in that account between those partners in a particular month.
    But some companies wanted to go deeper than that, and input individual transactions into HFM, and be able to do matching/mismatching analysis at the base transaction level. So an additional set of features was added to HFM which became known as the ICT module. This is where users can load transaction files (.trn files) from a source system into the ICT module, perform the automatching by transaction ID / by account and manual matching right there in the ICT module, analyze the mismatched transactions and make corrections etc, before the data ever hits the main HFM balances for the whole period. You can load hundreds or thousands of transactions for a particular period, filter by matched/mismatched until you are satisfied, then when everything is matched, transactions can be individually or bulk selected and "Posted" into the main HFM database (total balance for the whole base period) from the ICT module and then consolidated.
    This is all explained in more detail in the HFM documentation. But that is the theory behind it. It is recommended you study the documentation and attend the Oracle University "Create and Manage Applications" training course.
