Offsetting posting

Hi friends,
I have one doubt.
*In General ledger accounts are kept with open item management if you need to check whether there is
an offsetting posting for a given business transaction.*
what the above statement means.
can some one practicallly give the over view why there will be problem in case i will not set for a paticular type account?

Hi,
I will give you a example for the above statement.
Your are purchasing a goods from A Vendor , What will be your accounting entries ?? There will be two entries in accounting basically
1. For getting the goods from the vendor.
     Goods A/c   Dr 100
         To Vendor A/c Cr 100
2. For Paying the amount from your account.
      Vendor A/c Dr 100
             To Cash A/c   Cr 100
So a vendor account can be called as offsetting entry, How?? your ultimate transaction is to get a material by paying money. The intermediate account which comes to your books is awaiting for an offset of payment also.
By activating open item you can manage the accounts like how much vendors you had paid will be cleared, and how much vendors you want to pay will be lying in the account as open item.
Hope it clears you to some extent.
Thanks and regards

F8BS- Business Area: Offsetting Posting is empty

Dear Expert,
When i execute F8BS- Display Payment Request. Field Business Area: Offsetting Posting is empty.
Could you tell me where i can put the offsetting business area ?
Thanks and Regards,

Hi YL
If you intend to have a default business area for your bank clearing account:
You may switch on the flag 'separate payment per business area' (via transaction FBZP) so that business area will be updated in the bank (cash account) line.

Config for MIRO Offset posting possible?

HI,
Does anyone know if its possible to change the GL account for the offset entry if for example Taxes was on on IR than was on GR? Currently the system uses the expense account used in the PO as the offset account. Can we use a tax liability account for the offset?
Thanks.

Your case is not Tax treatment but Price Control V-Moving average Versus Standard Price in the material master.
Moving Average
The difference between PO/GR and IR is only posted to Price difference account is when the stock quantity on hand is less than the quantity on IR. if the stock quantity on hand is more than the quantity on the IR, the price difference between PO and IR is always adjusted to Stock.
1. Posting GR at PO prices (Qty 100 Price $5)
    Stock                    500 (DR)
    GR/IR                                  500(CR)
2. Posting of Invoice Received but IR price differs from PO/GR (IR Qty 100 Price $7) Qty on hand > Qty on IR
Stock                       200(DR)   [($7 - $5) x 100]
GR/IR                       500(DR)
Vendor                                       700(CR)
2. Posting IR ( assume goods issues were made,stock qty on hand is 20 at the time IR) Also the Invoice Price is $7. The total Price difference between PO/GR and IR is $200 ($7-$5= $2 x 100)
     GR/IR account                     500(DR)
     Stock account                       40(DR)           [stock qty on hand 20 x $2($7 - $5)]
     Price Difference account    160(DR)           [IR qty not covered in stock qty on hand 80(100 -20) x ($7 -$5)
     Vendor                                           700(CR)
Standard Price
The Price difference between PO/GR and IR is always posted to Price difference account.
Before you change the standard function make you go through the treament of Moving average versus Standard Price with the client. You might find that using Standard Price for some materials will achieve what you want.
Moving average as the name suggests the price keep moving/changing at PO/GR and IR depending on the stock quantity at hand.

Direct Elimination of Goodwill - Where the offsetting entry is posted?

Hi,
I have setup the consolidation method to directly eliminate the goodwill calculated to an offsetting FS item 124905, both in the positive elimination of goodwill and negative elimination of goodwill.
However when i execute the consolidation of investments, although the system correctly calculating the goodwill, i cannot see the way how it eliminates the goodwill by posting offsetting posting to the 124905 FS item. Under the document node of the consolidation of investments results i cannot see this FS item 124905 anywhere.
May i know where can i see the offsetting posting of the goodwill?
Thanks.

Hi,
1) Yes all the companies are attached to a method where direct elimination of goodwill has been activated.
2) Yes nothing is declared in AFD goodwill.
In the direct elimination tab i have specified 11051111 as the original cost item and 11021201 as the offsetting item of original cost.
Can you please explain what are the postings of goodwill under the above direct elimination method?
What i am getting is the below wherein the goodwill is posted to 11051111 but nothing is posted to the offsetting item 11021201

Can I post a down payment with a Special G/L indicator?

I have to post a down patment.
I want to post a Down payment with posting keys 29 Special G/L debit and 39 Special G/L credit.
The system does not allow to post 29 Vendor subledger account to 50 G/L Bank account. Is it possible to configure that posting in the IMG?
A down payment Reconciliation account for the Vendor is determined to be posted by 29 and 39 posting keys in the IMG instead of the normal Reconciliation account. Is this correct?
Your help is highly appreciated.

Dear Velu,
Thank you very much for your answer.
I mean the offseting posting of the Debit Advanced suppliers account, which is Credit Expense or Bank clearing account. Do you know why the system restricts the offseting posting only to Espense accounts?
Try in the FB01 transaction when you choose 29 A Vendor line item and you choose Bank clearing account the system gives message 'Incorrect postings are ignored'.

Desi

How to delete line items from PM order

Dear SAPient's,
We have created PM order, in this one line item material is defective. For that we want to cancel the PM order
and return the material to the vendor. Now situation is this PM order is allready released and material is also issued.
Material stock is showing on ON-ORDER Stock.
Please suggest some Ideas.
With warm regards
Bijay Kumar Jha

Hi,
Well, the qty shall be brought to stock in some way. If the PM order is already completed, you can bring it with any other movement, e.g. trs MI10 (invetory adjustment) or trs MB1C and mvt 501. But then your accountants will have to deal with the offsetting posting to some P&L account. You have already debited some P&L account when you did the GI to the PM order (you can find which acct it was if you display the accounting documents for the GI material document). This charge was assumingly wrong since you haven't actually consumed the qty but returning it to the vendor. This means that this account shall be credited.
At the same you have the debit posting to another P&L acct when you do MI10 or MB1C. The accounting people will have to repost the debit amount from the first acct to the second one, so that the total P&L is zero.

BPC 7.5NW Allocation Logic

Hello Gurus,
Suppose we need to allocate rent 1000(source) to 2 entities A & B ( ex: 500,500).. After send & refresh in input schedule , the source will become zero. Now, for some other purpose, we once agn press send & refresh button to enter some other data. But, when we do so, our allocation logic should not execute. If it is executed, then ZERO will b allocated to both entities as zero is current source value. So, how can we do this in allocation logic. Can I have the code plz. Its urgent

Hello,
You can achieve this by utilizing additional Dimensions in your RUNALLOCATION, like DataSrc. Idea is, that you have your initial value in Account = C, DataSrc = Manual, but when you make Account 'C' zero you post it to DataSrc = Posted.
In report you keep DataSrc = Manual if you need to show the old value or DataSrc = <ALL> if you need to show value zero.
This way RUNALLOCATION will post only values user entered without taking into affect offsets posted.
Hope you got the idea.

Gersh

Landed Cost error based Goods receipt note

I have the following scenario at a client trying to post landed cost in US dollar against a GRN also in US dollar for a supplier set to US$
The following message displays trying to post the landed cost: Transaction currency differs from BP or account currency:
1) The supplier has been used numerous times before and is in UD$ currency
2) The General ledger clearing accounts is also set to All currencies
3) We also deleted all the lines on the landed cost document and with only one line on the document the message still appeared.
Some of the items has been sold in the meantime and part of the offset posting will be posted to Cost of sales. The Cost of sales accounts is set to South African Rand. I thought that will be a problem and I have set them to various currencies and still could not post the landed cost document in US$
I also upgraded from PL49 to SP1 PL05 and still the issue prevails.
Any assistance will be much appreciated.

Free goods procured needs to be maintained as valuated goods in inventory

Dear All,
Here the scenario is, the company procures the material free of cost from the vendor, but they need to maintain the material in inventory in the same value as they mentioned in the material master.
But if i check in T code MB52, after making the free goods receipt of the material, the value is zero. Pls suggest how to configure so that free goods remains valuated in inventory.
Rgds,
Raghavendra N N

Hi,
For the valuation of the materials delivered free of charge, you must note which price control has been defined in the material master record.
1. MAP :- If the material is valuated at moving average price, the stock figure is updated on a quantity basis only, not on a value basis. Thus the total stock quantity increases but the total value of the stock remains unchanged. This results in a reduction in the moving average price.
2. STD :- If the material is valuated at standard price, the stock figure is updated on a quantity and a value basis. The receipt is valuated on the basis of the standard price. The offsetting posting to the stock account posting is made to a revenue account for price differences.
So, Value comes only with Std Price control...but it will go to price Difference Acct.

Free Material Delivered by Vendor

Hi
I have a situation regarding free goods that were delivered by vendor in excess to the amount ordered in PO. We had ordered 2000 units but 2700 were delivered. How to post the GR in this case without changing the PO. I know that one easy method is to change the PO and check the Free indicator after adding extra line item for the extra material but changing PO is not an option here. What are the alternates ?
Thanks
Sohaib

Post the GR of 2000 against the PO.
for the remaining 700 , you have 2 options for Goods receipt without reference :
501 - GR Without Purchase order
511- GR of Free Material
In case of 501 movement Type - Stock will update MAP (Moving Average Price) but in 511 movement case Stock without any accounting document. I.e. means There will be no Accounting document generation.
Delivery Free of Charge
If you receive a free-of-charge delivery from a vendor without a PO having been issued beforehand, you post the free delivery as an other goods receipt. In the standard system, you specify a text and a vendor for each item. This control for the Text and Vendor fields can be changed depending on the movement type 511 in Customizing for Inventory Management and Physical Inventory under Settings for Enjoy Transactions u2192 Settings for Goods Movements (MIGO) u2192 Field Selection per MvT Type.
For Free Material, Price control plays a crucial role for Accounting entries.
1. If the material is valuated at moving average price, the stock figure is updated on a quantity basis only, not on a value basis. Thus the total stock quantity increases but the total value of the stock remains unchanged. This results in a reduction in the moving average price.
2. If the material is valuated at standard price, the stock figure is updated on a quantity and a value basis. The receipt is valuated on the basis of the standard price. The offsetting posting to the stock account posting is made to a revenue account for price differences.

Default GL account upon goods issue to maintenance order based on activity

Hi all,
There's a scenario here in Plantation Industry that we require to default GL account upon goods issue to maintenance order based on activity type assigned in the order instead of only posting to consumption account, is there anyway in OBYC or user exit able to fulfill requirement mentioned?
Thanks as advanced.

Hello
With help of general Modifier in combination of valuation class you can assign GL as per your wish for offset posting incase of GI to order/anything
Example
Transaction key-GBB
General modification- VBR
Valuaction Class - checked
Dr/CR- checked
Assign the general modifier to T code MIGO , through OMJJ

Regarding Goods Reversal & Goods Issue Process for PO

Hi Experts,
           Could you any one tel me what is Goods Reversal and Goods Issue process for PO...
How to create the FM & detailed Procedure Pls?....
Please any one tel me.......
Thanks & Reagards
HB

Hi Hans,
SOURCE : HELP.SAP
Purpose
Inventory Management uses this process in such a way that the goods issue posting is divided into two parts that run in separate systems. Posting the GI document in the supplying plant results in a message to the receiving plant. The receiving plant then performs a complementary posting. The physical goods receipt takes place as usual.
Prerequisites
When using batch processing, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
Both the original and target systems have the same batch definition level.
The batch definition level is either the material or the client.
An ALE scenario exists for materials and classes (characteristics).
Unique batch numbers exist cross-system.
Batches can only be changed in their original system when they are not decoupled. From an organizational point of view, this must also lead to the batch status being changeable in a local SAP R/3 system. For example, this is impossible when transfer posting to a new batch and results in further actions, for example, relabeling containers, palettes and so on.
Characteristics
As for the purchase order in a one-system situation, the system should automatically post the material into the stock in transit at the receiving profit center and the corresponding Profit Center Accounting using intra-CC transfer prices at goods issue for the purchase order and the unchecked delivery. This requirement is valid for one-system situations as well as for two-system situations where there is an ALE interface. No internal billing document should be created.
In a two-system case, the receiving profit center should be derived at goods issue from the unchecked delivery. Profit Center Accounting then takes place with
Stock change transfer price to stock
Internal expense to internal sales
Internal clearing account to stock change transfer price.
Account determination in a purchase order for an intra-company-code transaction must be different from account determination in external transactions. Automatic GR/IR account clearing is required in both one-system and two-system situations.
The stock in transit must be visible in the receiving profit center.
The system must send a shipping notification at goods issue in one-system and two-system situations.
You need to create an invoice document for the internal and external trading statistics for cross-boundary deliveries as well as for customs purposes.
GR/GI slips are created.
Process Flow
Goods Issue Posting for Stock Transfers
The delivery triggers the goods issue in the issuing system.
The call contains the stock transport order data known in the delivery, including the PO item and the logical system of the recipient.
The transaction (quantity and value updates) is selected using the movement type:
Movement Type
Function
641
Goods issue with UB logic (Creation of stock in transit at recipient, immediate value posting).
647
As 641, however the goods receipt line (movement type 101) is added automatically, so that the goods receipt is posted at the same time as the goods issue (one-step procedure).
You determine the movement type according to the schedule line category in Sales and Distribution. The goods issue for a cross-system stock transfer must be different from the integrated transaction. This is achieved by adding a new movement type.
You post quantities and values at goods issue in the same way as a goods issue for a sales order. That is to say, the quantity is posted in the supplying plant and the value is adjusted to that of the stock account. The offsetting posting is made to a clearing account. The known data from the delivery is copied to Accounting to balance the account where necessary.
The system creates a message to the appropriate receiving system for all items with reference to a cross-system purchase order. The system does not perform any validity checks on the recipients data before posting begins. Incorrect Customizing results in the update being terminated.
If a goods issue has receiving plants in different logical systems, an IDoc is sent for each system.
In order that the goods receipt is able to use the values on the receiver side, you must add the values used to post the goods movement, in particular the transfer prices, to the IDoc.
The logic for recognizing the profit center switch functions as follows: At goods issue, the system recognizes that the profit center of the issuing plant is different from the profit center of the receiving plant. The system derives the profit center node from the relevant profit center.
Data Transfer
The IDocs sent by the issuing plant trigger the goods issue postings in the receiving plant.
Background Posting in the Receiving System
The goods receipt is posted in the receiving system using the IDoc. The interface receives the data from the goods issue in the supplying plant. The following processes now run at the recipient:
The system finds the update control for the GR part of the posting.
The goods movement is posted with the new movement type.
During valuation of the goods receipt, the system might, where necessary (UB logic), refer to the values (legal value and the value from the parallel valuation type, if you are using the transfer price function) from the IDoc.
The PO history is updated. The PO history is updated with the material document number from the second part of the GI posting. The GI document number is not stored in the supplying plant, because there is no way to display this document.
In two-step procedures the goods receipt is posted to the stock in transit.
Reversal
You can only reverse this goods issue for the PO using the cancellation transaction in SD. You cannot reverse the GI in Inventory Management.
The material document that is automatically created in the receiving system cannot be canceled. This reversal is triggered by the sending system (the actual reversal of the GI document takes place there) and transmits the data, including the reversal movement type, to the receiving system. No actual reversal is posted in the receiving system, because the material document number of the original document does not exist in this system. This scenario is applicable for cases where you use the two-step procedure (with stock in transit).
Distribution of Batch Master Data and Characteristics
The batch information is transported using the message category BATMAS.
When you create a cross-system goods issue, the system creates the corresponding IDoc using the message category BATMAS.
When the delivery arrives in the target system, the batch and all the information is already present in the system.
Changes to the batch data are also distributed using the message category BATMAS.
The batch can be decoupled in the receiving SAP R/3 system. This means that the batch can have a different status in the receiving system than in the original system. By setting an indicator at material level, you decide whether the batch can be decoupled or whether the batch and all its attributes are copied from the original system. "Decoupled" i.e. "locally independent" batches are no longer distributed from its own system.
The batch data does not need to be available before the physical goods receipt takes place. The goods receipt into the stock in transit does not usually refer to the batch unless you are working with batches with assigned active ingredient values.
If the GI cannot be posted for organizational reasons, for example because the goods cannot be loaded onto a truck until 10pm, then you can post the goods into the GR blocked stock. This stock is also non-batch-specific.
In cases where the GI IDoc arrives before the batch IDoc, then the GI IDoc can be subsequently posted by a periodically scheduled report (transaction BD87). A program like this exists in the SAP standard system. In Customizing for MM Inventory Management (activity Copy, Change Movement Types), you should make settings to define that manual creation of batches at goods receipt is not allowed.
Shipping Notification
The shipping notification is required in the receiving system due to its relevance for MRP. In this way, for example, a change in delivery date determined at goods issue is sent to the receiving system using the shipping notification. The shipping notification can also be used when posting the GR batches.
Reward if found helpfull,
Cheers,
Chaitanya.

Reg Loading of Open Items fro Asset, Vendor, Customer & GL.

Hi
I had uploaded the Masters thru LSMW. Now I want to Upload the Open items for the above. How this is to be done. Is there is any specific transaction code is available for this.
Regards
Karthik

Hi,
generally you upload only Balance sheet accounts data during legacy data transfer.
We will generally upload all open o=item managed items like vendor , customer etc with a suspense account for offsetting posting. the same offsetting account will be posted when uploading the TB part. This way the suspense account will be zeroed out.
No specific T.code for loading data as such but we can use FBO1 with a special document type for this purpose.
Thanks,
Shyam
