Parallel Ledgers - different posting variants - document posting

Hi Experts,
In our scenario, we have one Leading & one Non-leading ledger and both the ledgers have same Fiscal year varaint but different posting period varaint.
1. If we close the Posting period variant for the non-leading ledger and keep the PPV open for that of the leading ledger, and if we post an entry to all ledgers (i.e. without specifying any ledger group) will the entry get posted to the Non-leading ledger as well, even if the PPV for the same is closed?
I found that the system still posts the entry to the Non-leading ledger even if the PPV for the NL ledger is closed. The PPV specifically assigned to the Non-leading leadger only holds good when the entry is specifically post to that ledger or to the ledger group in which it is a representative ledger.
Can some one please suggest and give your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
M

Can you please indicate what your requirement is ?? You should be aware through Posting Keys, you can define whether it relates to a Customer, Vendor, G/L Account or Material and not for document type.
thanks

Shipment Cost Document Posting of two different G/L Accounts

Hi All,
Shipment cost document posting should happen to two different G/L Accounts based on Division of the Material.If suppose there are two divisions 10 & 20.While posting happening in shipment cost document the material belongs to 10 Division must post to one G/L Account and material belongs to 20 Division should post to another G/L Account.
Please let me know the possible solutions.
Regards
Sunil

Hi Lakshmipathi,
Thanks for your reply, We are working on the STO scenario and the client requirement is if the material is in 10 Division it should post to one G/L account and if the division is 20 it should post to another G/L account in shipment cost document.
Normally postings in shipment cost document postings will occur mainly by the Item category and Valuation class based on the shipment cost document type.In standard we can do this by providing two shipment cost document type and two valuation classes and two item categories.
I want to know whether it is possible with a single shipment cost document type.
Regards
Sunil

Intercompany document posted with different currencies

Hi:
I posted an intercompany document that created 2 currencies as the document currency.
For eg: co code A = USD & Co code b = GBP
When I posted the document in GBP, both companies had their respective currencies rather than just one currency i.e. GBP.
Please advise
thanks
Brian

Dave: Thanks
But I do want to make sure you understand what I mean
We have all currencies set up in SAP. However I planned to use GBP only as my document currency, that created a USD document currency for the other company?
thanks

Fiscal year variant- WK : posting date from 29 to 28

Dear Gurus,
Customer wants FI posting period starts from 29 to next 28, that is
period 1: Jan 1st ~Jan 28th;
period 2: Jan 29th ~Feb 28th;
period 3: Feb 29th~March 28th
period 4: March 29th ~April 28th
period 5: April 9th~May 28th
I created a new fiscal year variant, check year-dependant, uncheck calendar year .
and it works when posting FI document, however, when posting good issue documents,
system generates error message that material posting period is March and April.
so I try to use MMPV to open posting period May, and still system doesn't allow to do that.
Message as follows:
Mode: Check and close period
Client:500
Period entered (month/year):052009
Invalid period for company code 1000; no conversion here.
Period closing complete; log issued.
What should I do ?
Thanks Gurus!

Document posting in ECC 6.0

Dear All,
I am posting a document in ECC 6.0, it is throwing error message ' No item category could be determined for account 400005 in chart of accounts INDL'. What could be the reason and Document splitting is active in my system.
Regards,
Suresh Patipati.

Hii
As document splitting is activate in your system u need to make the GL account assignment for document splitting,...
Here, each document is assigned to a accounting transaction variant and each document row to an item category.
You determine for each business transaction variant which item categories can or must be posted here.
A splitting rule is defined for each business transaction variant, which determines which item categories are to be split and how the splitting should be determined.
Additional rows need to be created in a G/L account that was defined in the account determination in an account determination key.
so please assign Gl account and item category and it will solve ur problem
Hope u understand the logic....
if u need more clarification let me know
reward points if helpful

BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST how to post a document relate with assets

Hello all,
I'm using this BAPI to replicate the financial accounting flow. I've achieved to post almost of document types but asset documents. I've got the following error:
"Account 'Contra account: Acquisition value' could not be found for area 01"
For example i'm trying with a document like this:
U100 1 70 17000000 000002000000 0000 1,000.00 USD
U100 2 31 00403201 adasdasdad 1,000.00- USD
I don't have any trouble when posting from FB01, but when i try to post the document across this BAPI i got the previous error. I'm pretty sure that the problem is because the bapi (i don't know what i'm doing wrong) is trying to retrieve the contra account: acquisition value), this account is not customized (because is not necessary for our requirements). When i post from FB01 the acount retrieved is: Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs.
Has anybody tried to post an assets document with this BAPI?
Thank you very much!

Hello
Offsetting Account Number
In this field the R/3 System determines the offsetting account for the
item, as long as the account is maintained in the corresponding account
assignment.
It's a clearing account or another name used in this connection is
contra account. The defintion for the contra account is:
The contra account is for an asset acquisition posting, provided
the posting was not an integrated posting with Financial Accounting.
Another example is the offsetting account for revaluation:
Reconciliation account for appreciation to the acquisition and
production costs of assets.
Information:
the offsetting account is triggered in ABZON
for the depreciation areas that post to GL in real time.
Also, any acquisition done by ABZON gets updated to all ledgers
within the same ledger group.
Unfortunately you cannot limit the posting of the APC to some
ledgers only.
If you put an offsetting account in ABZON, system will post the
acquisition to the leading and the non-leading ledgers too: the
problem is that it will post into the countra account defined for the
area 01 (leading ledger) because it is the only one that post to GL in
real time.
The other area will get the posting to the other account because it is
not in real time the posting.
Hope this helps

F.13 - FB1S - Automatic Compensation Document post differences.

Hello!
We have an issue, it´s not a problem but it is something different going on when posting automactic compensation.
The issue is:
User run T-code F.13 for automatic compensation.
F.13 uses transaction FB1S to create and post compensation documents, for our case it creates a document type AB.
What happen is: the document posts clearing line items in the right manner (we don´t have a problem with that) but sometimes besides the normal postings the compensation document created by this process posts a Debit with value 0,00 to a G/L account, sometimes it posts a Credit 0,00 in the same account or sometimes it does not post any value in this same G/L account.
Has anybody ever seen this kind of situation?
Is there something in customizing where I can check posting process for transaction F.13 or FB1S or posting process for AB documents type?
Thank you!

Segment in document posting

Hi
I need help in understanding the concept behind Segment reporting. We have implemented new GL and the document is split based on cost center, Profit center, and Business area. When I post a vendor invoice, I specify PC and business area in the line item. The segment is derived automatically from the profit center master. But if I want to change the Segment to some other rather than the one specified in the profit center master, I am able to do that. My questions is that should it be possible to change the segment while posting a document or the segment should always be the one specified in the PC master record?
I appreciate your help.

Hi
I could not find the display radio button under the field status variant. I need to write a rule that while posting an accounting document, the Segment should always be the one specified in the corresponding Profit center master. I have tried to write a substitution rule for the same but could only specify one PC = one segment. There are more than one PC for each Segment. I would really be thankful if someone can help me in writing this substituion.
Thanks,
Shalu

New number of posts bug(?) + question; no #100, and total # of posts vary

New number of posts bug(?) + question; no number 100, and total number of posts vary
Intrigued by Tuttle's new attempt to join Niel's old habit to keep his own total number of posts count, I went and start counting my posts since the New Discussions. Because I saved my latest Old Discussions Post-and-Points info, I can see what are the previously-still-online ones (the pre- 14-Nov-2005 01:31 GMT ones), and I know exactly what was my "real" total number of posts before 14-Nov-2005 (2446).
My New Discussions posts number however, is quite uncertain.
Firstly, when I use the "My Posts" link on the right, then clicking on and on on the "Next" link,
my "Viewing 91-100 of 586 -- Pages" shows 91-99 instead of 91-100
(= should show 10 posts, shows 9 posts)
then I go on clicking Next Next Next, and I see the same missing counts happen elsewhere:
my posts number 100, 259, 260, 370, 390, 520, 558, 559, 560, 578, 579, and 580 are missing too.
Note that I wouldn't bother doing all this, and I would have thought it's just very old posts that are automatically deleted like in the Old Discussions,
BUT,
the problem is that when I choose to see all my posts together on the same page
(by using the start=0&range=600 suffix in the URL)
I get a total number of posts that is different (570).
A third way to quickly see all posts without having to load too big page
(using the start=0&range=300 suffix in the URL then only one "Next" click)
shows yet another, different again, number of total posts (573).
And my "official" total number of posts is (586).
Dear HOSTS,
- If this can be used as a bug report to fix a counting problem, glad to help.
- If there is no bug, I have two(+) questions then:
1) Was my post number 100 deleted?
(should be around 27-Nov-2005 18:00 GMT)
Also:
I thought the Total Posts number that we see in "My Public Profile" or under the avatar in each post (586), was only the number of posts still online.
- if it is the case, then there are no automatically deleted old posts anymore?
- if old posts are automatically deleted like before, this number should vary?
- if it doesn't vary (it just grows by one per new post), AND at the same time old posts are actually automatically deleted,
it has to show the "real" total number of posts then,
(as it is now, a total starting from the Old-Discussions-still-online-posts, it makes no sense),
that is,
the total posts in the New Discussions PLUS the total posts since first registration in the Old Discussions.
So,
2) What does it show exactly?
Thanks again for all the great work!
Axl
220? 221?

Thank you Andreas,
Your confirmation about the "post #100 bug" does help.
"As for your other missing posts - I guess Tuttle's assessment that they might be deleted is probably right..."
Yes, that makes sense and that's what I'm trying to figure in my OP, but then,
after I posted my "#221/2667 post" (11-Dec-2005 21:51 GMT), my originally missing #
259, 260, 370, 390, 520, 558, 559, 560, 578, 579, and 580
should have become
260, 261, 371, 391, 521, 559, 560, 561, 579, 580, and 581
right? (forget the #100: this one we know for sure it's a bug)
Or if the software counts them from the first (now that would have been a good start) instead of starting from the most recent,
they should become
258, 259, 369, 389, 519, 557, 558, 559, 577, 578, and 579
Well, that's not what happened. Now the missing # are
259, 260, 370, 390, 400, 520, 559, 560, 570, 579, and 580
(in addition to the same #100) (#558 and 578 not missing anymore).
As you can see, there is no logic:
It doesn't work as a simple numerotation of StillOnlinePosts, no matter the order
(otherwise there would simply be a straight count from 1 to 575 (=587-12).
It looks indeed like it shows which old posts are being automatically deleted. That the numbers are quite the same would simply show that the old posts dates were so close, of course they are deleted (six months later) almost at the same time,
BUT,
if it was the case, there would never be LESS deleted posts between two StillOnlinePosts, like it happens for example between my StillOnlinePosts #557 and #561.
Please note: of course I stick to the same method to make all my counts. Not manually modifying the URL, just using the default Next-Next-Next- clicking...
Modifying URL would add yet more differences in the differences!..
Dear Hosts,
Too bad it doesn't help looking yourself at my "My Posts", as everything changes each time I'm adding a reply somewhere.
Perhaps a good way to troubleshoot this would be to start from a very simple basis:
--> "name" the posts with a number, starting from the oldest.
This way, for example my "#1" post (11-Dec-2005 21:51 GMT in this thread) would be named "221" in the New Discussions, or "2667" if you start from my Registration date.
At the moment, it is very difficult to figure what fault comes from the "#100 post bug" and what fault comes from another possible counting bug...
Then the New Discussions "fluctuating" refreshing delay too, possibly messes the counts...
Thanks!

Wanted brief idea about posting date, document date, entry date

Hi guyz!
basically am an tech consultant. But wanted to have brief idea about the following business process. scenario is like this:
in inventory management, we are doing some inter facility transfer. i.e., for a particular plant, we are having multiple storage locations. so due tosome reasons, we are transfering stock from one storage location to another storage location. so in this context can anybody say what are the followings:
1. posting date
2. document date
3. entry date
waiting for proper response.
manas

Hi Manas,
The Document Date is the date in which the business transaction for the Documente(e.g., a transfer of posting) took place. The document date is the date on which the original document was issued.
The document date can, for example, refer to the creation date of the delivery note issued by the vendor or the internal goods receipt slip.
The Posting Date determines the posting period and defines in which fiscal period a document will post (regardless of the Document or Entry date). It is the date which is used when entering the document in Financial Accounting or Controlling. The periods that are permitted for posting are determined by Accounting Services. This is the date that G/L Account Balances are updated.
The fiscal year and the period for which an update of the accounts specified in the document or cost elements is made, are derived from the posting date. The Posting Date will override the Fiscal Period entered on a document if they are different.
When entering documents, the system checks whether the posting date entered is allowed by means of the posting period permitted.
The posting date can differ from both the entry date (day of entry into the system) and the document date (day of creation of the original document).
The Entry Date is the date the transaction was actually "permanently entered" into R/3.
Note: It is possible that an invoice was issued with a Document Date of 6/15/98, entered into R/3 on 7/15/98 (Entry Date) with a Posting Date of 6/30/98 (to post the Document in the previous fiscal year). Many times, all three of these dates are the same.
Thanks,
Susmitha.

Amount release triggered at document posting, not parking

Our objective is to have senior accounting personnel approve/release journal entries that exceed a certain value, say $100,000. We have configured the release function for parked documents, using workflow WS10000051 with business object 'FIPP', event "COMPLETED" and release amount of $100,000. However, this appears to assume that staff have authorization only for parking, because if you have posting authorization, nothing stops you from posting a document over $100,000. It seems illogical that you have to exceed a certain $ value before the release will trigger, but if your document is below the amount, you can't post it because you can only park.
In order to avoid making approvers release every single journal entry, what we want is for users to be able to post any document below $100,000.00, but be forced to park ( save as completed) all documents >/= this limit. We tried setting up a validation on the document amount, but the error message forces us to exit completely, i.e. doesn't allow us to park the document.
Is there perhaps a different workflow that triggers at the point of posting, rather than parking, that will accomplish what we want?
Thanks,
Kathryn

Hi Kathryn,
Were you able to find a solution for this problem. We have the exact same requirement. Any pointers will be helpful. Thanks.

Error: Parallel depreciation area 31 is not posted

Hi experts,
Hi have customized 5 depreciation areas:
01 book depreciation in local currency
30 deferred balance sheet in local currency (for different useful life)
31 deferred balance sheet in group currency
32 book depreciation in group currency
60 derived depreciation area
I specified that 30 will get values from 01; 31 will get from 30; 32 will get from 01; plus one derived for 01 and 30 difference.
Then when I entered asset values in F-02 using transaction type 100, I get this error. Please help. Thank you.
Parallel depreciation area 31 is not posted
Message no. AA565
Diagnosis
The asset to be posted does not manage parallel depreciation area 31, or transaction type that you are using is limited to certain depreciation areas, and does not contain depreciation area 31. This is incorrect.
System Response
Posting is rejected.
Procedure
Check the asset and the transaction type.

Hi John.
In "Specify use of Parallel Currency" setup your currencies type/Valuation view.
In Currency Type/Valuation View, against area 31 maintain it for 31 (Group Currency Group Valuation) and against area 40 maintain 40 (Hard Currency). Transfer of Deprecation terms setup from Deprecation
area “01”. Setup like below.
Now go to below
Maintain your currency as per requirement and see if changes are updated as per above configuration (I mean valuation id is "01" for your depreciation area, try to execute your transaction and let me know if it’s working.
After that go to define depreciation area and see if your depreciation area setting for 01, 31 and 40 is same. Please try to check in Sandbox first.
Please mark it as correct if your problem resolves, so it would be useful for other as well.
Thanks and Regards,

Goods consumption document posting date should be same as POD confirmation

Hi friends,
The scenario is like this --- The delivery is POD relevant, after delivery consignment lending happens {movement type 631}, then GI is done. But, only after POD confirmation this GI document comes into this document flow and it can be seen as goods consumption document {movement tyep 902} in the document flow.
Now, user's problem is with the goods consumption document posting date.
In VLPOD overview screen, actual goods movement date is 02.01.2008 and customer has sent the user a confirmation of delivery on 02.01.2008 itself. But, user has updated this VLPOD on today's date ie. 18.01.2008 and user has kept the POD date as 02.01.2008 itself {backdated POD date}. Now, after POD confirmation, goods cosumption document is created. But, system is showing the posting date of this docuement as todays date ie. 18.01.2008. But, user requirement is that system should copy the POD confirmation date into the goods cosumption document posting date. So, how can this be achieved ? can be done with some customization setting or user exit is the only option ???
Await your kind feedback....
Hrishikesh

Hi
As per my understanding the system is working as per the client's requirement-which says.,
"user requirement is that system should copy the POD confirmation date into the goods cosumption document posting date"
Since the POD confirmation date is entered as 18.01, the system has taken 18.01 as the goods consumption posting date.
If possible, please try that with different dates of POD confirmation.
Thanks,
Ravi

Posting AD Document Types

I am taking accrual documents as input to my program and doing a reversal posting using FB08 transaction.However, in this process the exchange rate at the time of reversal is different from the time of posting...
I am able to calculate the exchange rate at the time of reversal.....
How do i post the document now......also i want to link the reversed document and original document.... are there any function module available...Please give me a example

Use a Validation OB28. You can use document type or transaccion code(f-43) in order to make mandatory the posting key 31. Keep in mind that you would need to use the accounting key 40 in order to post the expense.
