OBYC: automatic posting: accounts

Hi experts,
I am customizing the accounts for automatic posting in OBYC. However, I do not know where to find or to customize the first column "valuation modif." under account screen. Anyone knows about it?
Best regards,
Fan

HI
Define Account Grouping for Movement Types There you can see which TEKey will be linked to particular movement type.
Account Modification
Key which has a different meaning depending on the procedure. It is used to differentiate account determination. The key's meaning is predefined in the SAP system and cannot be changed.
For transaction key you can create modifier if want to link different G/L account
Offsetting entry for stock posting (GBB)
Offsetting entries for stock postings are used in Inventory Management. They are dependent on the account grouping to which each movement type is assigned. The following account groupings are defined in the standard system:
AUA: for order settlementAUF: for goods receipts for orders (without account assignment)
and for order settlement if AUA is not maintained
AUI: Subsequent adjustment of actual price from cost center directly
to material (with account assignment)
BSA: for initial entry of stock balancesINV: for expenditure/income from inventory differences
VAX: for goods issues for sales orders withoutaccount assignment object (the account is not a cost element)
VAY: for goods issues for sales orders withaccount assignment object (account is a cost element)
VBO: for consumption from stock of material provided to vendor
VBR: for internal goods issues (for example, for cost center)
VKA: for sales order account assignment
(for example, for individual purchase order)
VKP: for project account assignment (for example, for individual PO)
VNG: for scrapping/destruction
VQP: for sample withdrawals without account assignment
VQY: for sample withdrawals with account assignment
ZOB: for goods receipts without purchase orders (mvt type 501)
ZOF: for goods receipts without production orders

Automatic Posting accounts not allowed when G/L Account is entered in LIPS

Dear all,
In order to override the standard G/L account determination when PGI a delivery, we developed a routine to write the G/L account devired by the system and populate LIPS-KONTO with the account we want to post.
This is working perfectly as soon as that G/L account does not have the flag "automatic postings only" is not flagged.
However, is this flag is active, we are not able to PGI.
Do you know if this is the normal SAP behaviour? Any suggestions if we must use that account?
thanks!

Hello,
The situation is the following....
Two items in the sales order with two different item categories and same movement type.
This movement type is customized in OMWN with Account Modifier ZVA that is linked to account A.
In case of the first item category this will be ok.
On the second item category the customer wants to keep the same movement type but post into a different account.
During delivery processing we created in a userexit to override the derived Account Modifier to another one that we need and retrieve that account and populate LIPS-KONTO.
Conclusion:
1) If we use the standard account determination, LIPS-KONTO is not filled in and the system considers an automatic posting.
2) If the LIPS-KONTO is filled in with a GL Account that has the "automatic postings only" set, the system apparently is considering this a manual posting.
My question is: Is this the Standard SAP behaviour?

Automatic posting accounts for exchange rate difference.

Guys,
My clients wants to write a check in GBP pound sterling, and for that I set up house bank for GBP and did all the other configuration steps in FBZP.We successfully printed out the check thru F110.Now when we try to mark the check as "encashed" thru FCHR,The log says 1 check selected and marked as encashed but no posting docunments get generated as system shows an errored out session,I looked into SM35,the job log says" exchange rate difference accounts are incomplete for acount 161511 currency GBP".System takes me to OB09 which is account determination for Ol Exch.rate differences.Should I update a/c 161511 here? Please note account 161511 is not a foreign currrency account.Its main cash bank account(US$ account) which I set up in House bank FI12.So in OB09 I dont see that account 161511.Wht should I do ?System also takes me to OBA1-maintain FI configuration Automatic posting. DO I need to do something in here too ? Please advice.Thanks
Regards
Iqtidar

In OBA1 > Exchange Rate Dif.: Open Items/GL Acct
Check the example below.
Chart of Accounts     xxxx
G/L Account          < GBP A/C from which you are paying >
Ex Rate Realized
Loss                 P&L - Ex Loss Realized A/c < 830301>
Gain                  P&L - Ex Gain A/c Realized <720201>
Valuation
Val.loss 1          P&L - Ex Loss Unrealized A/c < 830302>
Val.gain 1           P&L - Ex Gain A/c Unrealized <720202>
Bal.sheet adj.1     For. Currecy Reserve < 520501>
Translation (similar to valuation)
Loss                 830302
Bal.sheet adj.loss   520501
Gain                 720202
Bal.sheet adj.gain   520501
Is this what you were after? The logic behind different GL postings should be able to explained by a person with an accounting background. Do let me know if you have any specific questions.

Automatic Posting accounts are posting to Dummy Profit center....

Hi experts....
We are configured New GL
Generally we are creating Customer Invoice (T. Code: VA02) and
Vendor Invoice (T Code. MIRO) for WBS Element only. While posting the
customer/Vendor Invoice System is not checking that CO Object (WBS
Element) in main line item (Sales/GRIR) as well as Automatic Account
assignment setting (T. code: OKB9). System is showing the Error. If
that G/L Account is not a cost element then system is posting to DUMMY
Profit Center in place profit center assign to that WBS Element
Requirement:
We need to post tax and Customer/Vendor line items in document
against WBS Element which should be picked up from Sales/GRIR Line Item
of the same document. If there is no CO Object (WBS Element/Cost
Center) in Sales/GRIR line item in document then based on Automatic
Account assignment configuration (Valuation Area is Mandatory) system
has to post to Cost Center/Profit Center
We are not maintained any derivation rule of PC & Edit Constants for Nonassigned Processes in New gl config. then also system posting to Dummy PC only.
We can delete that dummy?
or any configuration changes needs for it. plz give me ur valuable suggestions
Please Do needful
Thanks
Bhagiradha

Hi,
You have to maintain Dummy profit center, it is mandatorily for configuring profit center accounting . If u have not maintain Default profit center to that cost element, it will directly flow to Dummy Profit center. Better to maintain default profit center and u cannot delete the Dummy profit center.

Automatic posting accounts for exchange rate difference- OB09

Hi Nadini,
I did the assignment of accounts in OB09 as per yur example and I was able to post the document. But I see in realised FX losses systems didnt' put any FX difference amount but just carried out with zero balance.Is that a matter of concern or its normal.
1 50 161500 Main Account           3,996.00- GBP
2 40 161511 Dallas Check Acct    3,996.00 GBP

4 50 700020 Realised FX Gains    0.00        GBP 2100 5110000
2100,5110000 are profit center and cost cneter assigned with these accounts.Could you please let me know why system didn't put any foreign exchange difference in accounts( Realised FX losses and Gains).Thanks
Regards
Iqtidar

Hi Iqtidar
There will be no FX Gain or Loss in GBP as this is the currency of the bank a/c. Fx Gain/Loss will be in USD. Hance if you go to a display document screen (FB03) for this partciular document and click on "Display currency" in order to view company code (local currency) you should be able to view the Fx Gain/Loss.

Automatic posting of service G/L account in contract

Hi Gurus,
when I make a PO with a service that have a valuation class associated the G/L account at account assignement is automatically posted. But when I make a contract this is not appening someone knows why??
Regards
LR

Hi there,
First of all at PO no posting to the GL account happens, if your scenario is service procurement then when you save tour service entry sheet at thta point sytem post the amount to the GL account assigned in your PO.
Second, you can only enter the GL account at the PO for the account assigned PO, no provisions for entering valuation class in PO.
You can't post to an GL account for account assigned contract but you can always control the postings by making it account assigned.

Automatic posting configuration for GR/IR account

Dear Alll,
I need some clarification on Automatic posting configuration for GR/IR account. In OBYP, for transaction BNG-Invoiced but not yet delivered we maintain GR/IR clearing account, adjustment account and target account. As per my understanding, adjustment accounts and target accounts are only hit during closing time when GR/IR account has some value and that time it is checked using the transaction F.19 and the amount is posted to adjustment account and target account. Please point out where I'm wrong and provide explanation if I'm loosing on some point
Warm Regards
Mazdul

Hi Jud
You should make these posting to a cost center then..The only way you can control account postings via PO type is having a account assignement category. You can make this as mandatory filed for this PO type..
Please let me know if your requirement is different..

PO or MIGO Error - Posting to GL marked Automatic Posting

Hi Users
I have a GL account which is a P&L account and not a Reconciliation account. The same has been configured in OBYC under GBB-VBR. The account has been marked as automatic posting.
Now, Iam trying to create a Purchase Order for a material with Account Assignment category 'Q', with Account Assignment to a WBS Element and the GL account will get determined automatically (as mentioned above through OBYC). It is at this time that Iam getting this error message.
Further, for Purchase orders already created before (when the account was not marked as automatic posting), the error gets populated at the time of MIGO. In order for me to post to this account, I have to remove the automatic posting tick.
So the query is that, though the account determination is happening automatically through OBYC, still the system is throwing the message that GL account cannot be posted because it is automatic posting.
Let me know in case you require any further details.
Regards
Abhishek Kumar

Hi Kishore
We have created certain service materials which material type SERV and hence we are creating purchase order (actually work orders in business terms) using ME21N. The Account assignment category is 'Q'. I need to post the services directly to a P&L account called 'civil works account'. This posting needs to be assigned to the WBS element and hence the AA category 'Q'. The account I have maintained in OBYC under GBB-VBR for valuation class 3200 (which is assigned to the service material).
I need to maintain this account as automatic posting due to business requirement as no user should be able to post to it directly.
Hope you understood my query now. Kindly assist in resolving the issue.

Abhishek Kumar.

De-linking (Valuation class & GL A/c) automatic posting in Invoice booking

Experts,
I have a issue regarding link between FI & MM
From what I understand,
there is a link between Service & Valuation class
& also a link between valuation class & GL.
This link enables automatic FI line item posting while invoice booking.
My question:
1. Can we break the linkage between valuation class & GL i.e. we want to stop the automatic posting
2. What is the effect of above
3. Would you advise to do this .. ? Why?
Regards,
KPS007

Hi,
SAP standard process are the best business practises and it should changed only when we have genuine business problem and not for people issue.
There are several scenarios will occur during MIGO and MIRO. For each scenario system should determine a correct Inventory account, GR/IR clearing account, Price difference account and etc. First you need to prepare an excel sheet with all your possible business scenario, valuation area/valuation grouping code and their respective GL accounts. Once you have listed out all the scenarios and correct GL accounts, you can configure the system as per your requirement. Initial home work is needed to avoid any difference in account posting. Hence try to fix the source of your problem rather than changing the best practise. Account determination is vast and it cannot be explained here but please refer the below link.

Third party sale scenario: COGS not allowed as automatically posted.

Dear Gurus,
I have come across this error during execution of third party sale scenario.
When the user enters a PO with reference to PR which is in reference to SO, one error pops up which says COGS cannot be automatically posted only.
When I deselect the "Post automatically" tick, the PO can be saved.
Process we are following during third party sale process:-
1. Sales order.
2. PR with reference to Sales order.
3. Purchase order with reference to PR.
4. Statistical GR with reference to PO.: COGS Dr. To GR/IR Clearing account Cr.
5. Sales Invoice: Customer Dr. To Sales Cr.
6. MIRO: GR/IR Clearing account Dr. To Vendor Cr.
I have my own doubts on the statistical GR part. Can you pls. validate the same.
Also in case of third party sale, what will be the CO object as COGS is not created a cost element. (SAP standard)

Automatic posting in GL Master record

Dear All:
I want to know that can automatic posting tick in GL Master be made optional for certain users. I mean i am a power user of FI,but i share my login with GM Finance so what happens whenever he wants to make direct entry into certain GLs which are not allowed direct posting,he does this by un ticking. I cant detain him. I had a solution but it didn't work it was through OB26,because it made the field disabled for all users including my boss GMIT who has full authorization of all modules. Please suggest me any solution to it.
Regards

Hi,
No, there is no functional solution for this requirement. Automatic postings flag is supposed to protect the account from any posting which could be done directly to the account, no matter who's the user. The purpose is to keep consistent G/L account with its sub-ledger entries.

Eli
