Parking Accruals FBS1

FI Gurus,
I need to be able to park accrual J/E thru tcode FBS1 for approval purposes before posting. I see there is park option in FBS1, when I go to fast entry screen but it is gray out. Anyone knows if I can activate it or how I can accomplish this excercise?
Thank You so much for your help.

Hello
Normally an accrual document is created with reference to an already existing transaction or document. The park option is normally greyed out, because of some reason. Check if you have mentioned reversal reason and date in the next fiscal period.
I once remember, I had a similar issue and the ABAPer could resolve the grey area to open area.

Parking Accrual doc

Frnds
i am trying to post one Accrual doc, which i need to reverse at the end of the month, which i am able to do but before posting accrual document, i want to park it
as soon as i go to document, i can see the Park tag but it is not getting activated.
i am trying to post the accrual doc in FBS1, so please tell me how cani park the doc before posting it??
thanks
Manish

HI Mathew Adman,
It is by system design that indeed the options for Park or Hold are not available
(greyed out) for accrual documents (FBS1).
The apparent reason is because an accural document requires a reversal date and a held document cannot handle a reversal posting.
You may want to consider using the "post with reference" feature to simplify the tasks of reentering accrual/deferral documents which occur every month.
In adition, please read note 492006:
'Special transactions such as FBB1, FBS1, FB41 cannot and must not be parked since subsequent processing using FBV0 is not possible.'
Please assign points if it useful.

How to ensure that an accrual (FBS1) that was cleared and reversed/reset (FBRA) does not affect the books while being in open items (FAGLB03)?

At first the user created an accrual using FBS1 for reversal on 5/1/2015.
This created a clearing document.
Then it was mistakenly reversed by the user for 5/1/2015 by using F.81
This also created a clearing document.
Based on advice in the following thread: Delete reverse accrual/defferal documents | SCN ,
the user used FBRA to reset and reverse the document. We are unsure if the reset and reverse command was used or just the reset choice.
Now the accrual value is in the respective accounts with an open status (i.e. red button). Does this mean that the entry has already been discarded and it won't affect the accounts? Or does one then use FB50 to reverse the effects of the accrual in the current and next month?

Hi
I guess that the user has not reverse the transaction as its still shows as open item in 30 /4 .. so I belive that you need to use fb50 or simply use FBR2 and enter the original entry no and the choose (generate reversal posting option )..

Enable Park functionality in FBS1

Hi all,
We wanted to Park accrual document. We are posting accruals through T.Code FBS1, but system is not allowing to PARK the document. It is grayed out in manu path.
My question is could I copy a new program from FBS1, then set the status to enable the Park functionality?
Thanks, anything useful will be rewardful.

Hi,
There is no possibility in standard SAP to park an accrual document. May be, you can log a message to SAP OSS and find out the other possibilities.

FBS1 - Park Document

Hi Guys,
We wanted to Park accrual document. We are posting accruals through T.Code FBS1, but system is not allowing to PARK the document. It is grayed out in manu path.
Did anyone had this issue? Please help.
Thanks,
Pawan

We got answer from SAP. We can not PARK or hold document through FBS1. Reason is because accrual documents have reason code and reversal posting date and technically, document can not be PARK or hold with these values.

Accrual/deferral document (FBS1)

Hi All,
I had an accrual/deferral document(FBS1) posted in December, 2006 which was stated for reversal on 15th January, 2007. This reversal was to be done automatically by the system but due to some problem at that time, it didn't get reversed.
I am using FB02 to remove the Reversal date. I got the message SUM OF ACCOUNTS DOES NOT EQUAL ZERO. I have changed some document with the same procedure. But only one gives me this message.
I don't understand that I am not changing any amounts, then why its giving me above message.
Any suggestions on how we can clear these open items? I will assign points

Accrual/Reversing Document and Parked Invoices

Hi,
Our company does not use PO, and probably never will for practical reasons. However, what we do do is park invoices. Invoices come in to our head office, and before the invoices are sent out for signing/authorisation we park the invoices. Come month end, there may be a number of invoices in transit that have been parked (I understand that parked invoices don't need to balance, but our one does, as we require everything to be entered).
My question is, is there a fast way to post these parked invoices in SAP as reversing/accrual documents? I have tried FBS1 -> Post with reference, but it does not allow me to use it to accrue parked invoices.
The only other alternative I see is to post the invoices and subsequently block the invoices for payment, however, this option is not favourable, hence I am asking the latter question.
All help appreciated.
Many thanks.
Henry

First of all PO and parking document both are totally different. Parking is usually used for authorisation purpose. Also from your text it is not clear what problem you are facing whether it is related to accrual booking of parked invoices in transit or authorisation.
1) Authorisation : Yes I you have said you can put the block on each vendor invoice, but if the higher authority rejects the invoice, or approves less amount in invoice in that case you need to reverse the entry or pass credit memo. There is concept of note sheet in SAP. Once the document is parked, a note sheet is send to the approving authority. Note sheet is nothing but a workflow item. he will receive the mail in his inbox that you have a pending item / invoice for approval. Once he approves the same then only accounting entry will be posted for vendor liability.
2) Accrual : If you want to post accrual entry for the documents which are not approved, I would prefer rather than posting each and every invoice to accrual, post a single entry for the pending approval invoices of the month and reverse the same in next month. List of all parked documents you can get from FBL1N.

Park option for T Code FBS1....

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to enable the Parking option for transactions run through FBS1 (accrual/deferral doc).
If Yes, Kindly inform the steps involved.
Useful answers will be adequately rewarded.
Thanks,
SK

Hi all. You can perform the following:
1.     Add two columns in the upload file template
                             Reversal reason + reversal date
2.     Reversal reason is populated as follows
                               Reveresal reason -> documentheader-reason_rev in BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST
3.     Reversal date is updated using a separate function module
                                 This must be updated in table TSTOR by using function TSTOR_INSERT.
The FBSI is then successfull and can also be reversed with F.81.

Accrual (Tcode FBS1)

Hi,
I have a business requirement for Accrual. The business requirement is to use the Parked document functionality for Accrual functionality (Tcode FBS1).
Strengthen SOX compliance by ensuring all accrual and deferral journal entries are never posted without being reviewed by management and posted by an individual other than the creator of the entry. Is this possible?
rgds,
Ade.

John,
We had the same issue. There doesnt seem to be any way to do this without creating a customer transaction which would be a copy of FBS1. One option is to use the accrual engine. We are currently trying to use this to accomplish accrual entry with SOX controls.
Hope that helps.

Park post option required in FBS1

Hi
My client is using FBS1 for accrual & defferals. In FBS1, i want that entry should be entered & parked by one user and the same must be approved by his senior.
After i entered all the details in both the line items, i went to document tab. There i was able to see park / hold option. But it was greyed out. Only simulate and post option were open to select.
Let me know how to bring this park & post option in FBS1.

Hi,
It is a system design that for 'Park' or 'Hold' are not available(greyed out ) for accrual documents (FBS1). The reason of this is because an accrual document requires a reversal date and a held document cannot handle a reversal posting.
For further information on this function, kindly go through note 492006 where it indicates that : -
'Special transactions such as FBB1, FBS1, FB41 cannot and must not be parked since subsequent processing using FBV0 is not possible.'
so if you are using this change may be you will face some issue while posting through FBV0.

Can we park the document from the tarnsaction FBS1?

Hello All,
Can we park the document from the tarnsaction FBS1? Here you enter accrual/deferral document, can thsi document be posted....or is there any option?
Regards,
Tushar

Hi
I suspect option may not be available to park FBS1.
Or as workaround, try to use FBD1 recurring documents by one user and then another user can run in F.14
Thank You,

Accrual / Deferral Document - Park?

Hi experts,
I would like to use FBS1 to post accrual/ deferral document with the Park Document function.
Howvever, in this t-code FBS1, document parking is not allowed (the button is grey out).
Is there any way we can park the document over there? any configuration to set?
will assign points.
Thanks.

Hi Sreenivas,
Ya, I think the FBS1 couldn't park the document.
Is there other alternative that we can have our accrual document park and post and auto reverse in the subsequent month?
Please suggest. Thanks a lot.

When doing the FBS1 fast load. A worksheet appears with limited rows.
Is there a way to increase rows and what is the limit?

Automatically generate accruals for Parked Invoices

Dear SAP Gurus,
I am currently in the process of trying to improve our month end accrual process.
We currently have a standard process where we issue a PO, book in the delivery and then process the invoice. Occasionally we have instances where the invoice is received before the GRN is completed (the goods havent actually arrived or a User has forgottent to book in the Goods Receipt).
In this instance we park the invoice and then complete once the GRN has been booked in.
My question is is it possible to automatically accrue these parked invoices at month end without having to download and then post via a journal?
Is there some way of using the accrual engine to account for these parked invoices at month end?
Thank you for you time.
Regards
John

Hello.
To initiate a new payment batch, enter criteria for the invoices you want to pay. Payables selects all invoices that match your invoice selection criteria and that are ready for payment.
You can initiate payment batches from either the Payment Batches window or the Payment Batch Sets window. You can also schedule payment batch sets to automatically submit at regular intervals.
And yes, the payment batches consist on standard concurrent requests. You can access payment batches by naviganting to Payments/Entry/Payment Batches.
As you know, you can classify your suppliers in a Payment Group. Suppose you have, lets say, 150 suppliers, all belonging to the same Payment Group. All invoices from these suppliers can be paid on a single payment batch.

Accruals-reversal-fbs1

HI,
What is the significance of reversal date on FBS1 screen.The enter Accrual screen document.
Does it create an automatic reversal posting on that specified date???
Or you have to create a reversal manually in the next period??
Thanks,
Sai.

Hi
FBS1 allows to enter a reversal date and reason and via F.81 all accrual documents for the relevant perios can be reversed.
For example, you might have multiple accrual documents at a given month. When these are entered via FBS1, in the following new period you can enter the range of dates for the reversal and reverse vial F.81. This eliminates the need to keep a track of accrual document numbers.
Hope this was clear.
