Post Directly To Customer Reconciliation Account

Dear Experts,
We are facing the following problem in one of our Clients system.
They have uploaded the opening balance in a Customer Reconciliation GL Account ( Its an alternate reconciliation account ), here onwards reffered to as XYZ.
Now after 6 months of Go-Live they realized that the opening balance was uploaded incorrectly.
Their original entry was like this:
Dr. XYZ                      100
Cr. Data Migration GL 100
When the try to reverse the above entry they get the following error: "Account XYZ in company code ABCD cannot be directly posted to" Message No: F5354
Now i have two questions ( Disclaimer: These questions might sound very silly, but trust me I am seriously lost here. )
1. How was this entry posted in the first place? I have checked the change logs for GL XYZ, no data exists that shows that the reconciliation indicator has been changed. The reconciliation Indicator is customer from beginning.
2. How to reverse the above entry?
Any usefull suggestions will be generously rewarded.
Regards,
Priyank.

Dear All,
I am sorry for replying so late to this Thread.
We found the root cause of the problem. Some one has changed the Table Entries (SKB1-MITKZ) for  the GL Master of Customer Reconciliation Account. This was the reason that the GL account was showing as Customer Reconciliation Account.
Now when we tried to reverse these changes the system didnt allow us as it needed some entry in that field and keeoing it blank was not an option. Even the input help didnt show any blank field.
So in order to overcome the above shortcoming, we wrote an ABAP program to change the field value to Blank.
So learning is that you should never use Table Edit without having proper knowledge of how Tables behave.
Thanks all for your Support.
Am Closing the thred.
Good Bye.

  • Posting between customer reconciliation account

    Dear Experts,
    We have wrong posting in Customer account XXX (with reconcl.account A) then we should reclass/transfer posting from the wrong reconciliation account A to reconciliation account B (customer YYY).
    Which transaction code to be used?Is it possible to do mass reclass customer account?
    Pls advice.
    Thank you in advance

    Hi,
    You can change reconciliation account in customer master data but you can't in old documents from that one. You just can creat new documents with recnciliation account updated.
    SAP Standard provides F101 tcode for adjustment. It uses anothers accounts to manage the differences between the documents but your document won't get account change.
    The only way to change reconciliantion acc in old titles is reversing and recreating (or clearing old document and opening a new one)
    Notice: chage reconciliaiton accounting in master record and check the warning message. Take a look on that instructions.

  • BRS configuration- Posting directly to customer account

    Hi,
    I have done BRS configuration and I am able to do clearing, posting to bank charges etc based on configuation when I upload the bank statement thro FF_5.
    But I have a new scenario, where while uploading a Bank statement thro FF_5, based on the external transaction type, the system has to post directly to customer account.
    Dr Customer Account     xxxx

    Is it possible in EBS configuration or what is the steps I need to follow to achieve the above entry.
    Pls help..

    Hi
    Using the posting rule, it is possible to generate the accounting entry you want, but the problem is how the SAP system will know the entry is for which customer. There is also a std T Code FF68 for the same for manual entries from which accounting entries should be generated the way which you have raised in your first post. For your information, you can have the following user exits in FF_5, where in you can write your code
    FEB00003 Customer exit for Finnish bank statement TITO format
    FEB00004 Raw data processing, user exit SWIFT MT940

  • How to post externally to asset reconciliation account

    Hi,
    I need to post one entry externally to asset reconciliation account & I dont want to update asset due to that entry. How to do that?
    Pl. help. I will award points for suitable answer.
    Thanks
    Veena

    You are permitted to post the recon account undercertain special circumstances :
    USe the transaction codes OAMK and OASV.
    Kindly read the SAP on line documentation before making a postings directly to the recon account.
    Definition of the Reconciliation Accounts
    You are not allowed to manually post to the reconciliation accounts for Asset Accounting in Financial Accounting. Normally, you designate the corresponding General Ledger accounts in Financial Accounting as reconciliation accounts. This change, however, can no longer be made in Financial Accounting, once these accounts already have balances from the legacy data transfer. However, you can use a special report to assign these accounts the status of reconciliation accounts in Financial Accounting (in Customizing for Asset Accounting, choose Preparing for Production Startup ® Production Startup ® Set Reconciliation Accounts).
    There is another report for removing this specification (Reset Reconciliation Accounts).
    Subsequent Correction Postings to Reconciliation Accounts
    Suppose you have already defined the asset G/L accounts in Financial Accounting as reconciliation accounts, but still need to transfer balances to these accounts, or make corrections. You can make correction postings to these reconciliation accounts with a special posting transaction in Customizing for Asset Accounting (Transfer Balances), using posting key 40 or 50. You can only postings to those accounts in a company code with implementation status (Customizing for Asset Accounting, choose Preparing for Production Startup ® Production Startup ® Activate Company Code).

  • Change Customer Reconciliation Account

    I need some assistance in verifying the steps for changing Recon account for a group of customers.
    Scenario.  We have a group of customers (about 60) who have postings to them.  Some of the posting are open and some are cleared.  We need to change the reconciliation account on these customers.  We are running under ECC 6.0
    I know how to change the reconciliation account on the customer.  That is not a problem.  The problem comes with handling the open and cleared items already posted to these customers.
    I believe that at some point in time I need to run trans F101.  In order to run this transaction I need to define an adjustment account using transaction OBBW.  One of my questions here is do I define this as an adjustment account for both the old and the new reconciliation account or for just the old reconciliation account.
    Now most of my questions relate to:
    1.     What are the steps required in order to run F101(FAGLF101 for 6.0)?
    2.     Is there something that I will need to do each month or will this be a one time situation only for me?
    3.     Will/are there any special steps required for clearing the open items once the reconciliation accounts have been changed?
    4.     Is there anything else (any gotcha’s) that I should be aware of?
    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    Greg Brown
    FI/CO Consultant

    the thread you sent me answers part of my questions (namely the fact that I need multiple recon adjustment accounts and the basic steps for executing F101 (FAGLF101).
    However, with regards to my other questions, here is what I am interpreting from the thread.
      1.  Is there something that I will need to do each month or will this be a one time situation only for me?
    <b>Assumed answer:</b>  I will need to run this every month until the balance of the old recon account for the customers in question is zero.
      2. Will/are there any special steps required for clearing the open items once the reconciliation accounts have been changed?
    <b>Assumed answer:</b>  Apparently not.  I will clear the old items (posted but not cleared at the time I changed the recon account) from the old recon account; clear new items (posted and cleared after I change the recon account) for the customer for the new recon account.
    Am I correct on this?
    Any additional help that you can provide me will be greatly appreciated.

  • Change in customer reconciliation account

    Dear Friends,
    Can we change Reconciliation accounts in Customer master records ? If we can, so what about the old reconciliation account data or balance? How do we capture data from old reconciliation account to new reconciliation account?
    Please explain in complete details the exact procedure which we need to follow to correctly post data

    Hi Sanjeev
    It might be possible.. Try this
    1. Go to FS00 -Enter the Recon accounts (Old and New)  and tick the field "Ready For Input"
    2. Assign the New Recon account against the Old recon account
    IMG > FI > Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable > Business Transactions > Postings with Alternative Reconciliation Account > Define Alternative Reconciliation Accounts....
    3. Now make a transfer posting from F-02, Dr and Cr the same customer... In the Dr Line item, change the Recon account and in the Cr Line item, do not change the same

  • Customer Reconciliation Account Change

    Hello Friends,
    Our client had a requirement of changing the recon account for customer.
    Customer A (recon account 100) already had line items posted from last 2 years, these line items are cleared also.
    Now business wants the recon account for this customer A to be G/L#200. Along with that the reporting in balance sheet for this customer is required to be in recon GL 200.
    In order to achieve this we did the following:
    1. We made the balance of the customer account zero by transfereing the balance to temperory GL account. (Accounting document # 1200001 created)
    2. Changed the recon account in customer master from 100 to 200.
    3. Made reversal entry, i.e., transfered the balance from temperory GL account to customer account. (Accounting document # 1200002 created)
    4. In balance sheet now the balance is transfered to recon account 200.
    But now there is a problem, the customer statement has two open items (documents 1200001 & 1200002) when we are clearing these open items in the customer the impact created earlier with step 3 is getting reversed i.e., the balance from recon account 200 is getting nullified and its going back to recon account 100.
    We just want to clear the customer open item how can we do this?
    Please suggest.
    Regards

    Hi,
    you cannot change reconciliation Account for old Line Items. The SAP provides transaction code F101 to define that but it uses extra accounting to adjust balance sheet groups.
    The only way is reverse clearing document by FBRA. Go to F-32 and clear the invoice against a new invoice with same a mount and posting date. Afterwards you clear this new invoice (Acc 200) and you will have your balance sheet equalized.
    regards

  • Profit center to vendor/customer reconciliation accounts

    Hi All,
    Dummy Profit center has already been assigned to customer/vendor reconciliation accounts in 3KEH in PCA.  Will that affect F.5D  - post balance sheet adjustment process?
    Thanks!
    Rajesh

    Normally in 3KEH is to assign the default profit center, all Balance sheet accounts are assigned to a Dummy Profit Center.
    This profit center is only considered if as per the process, Profit center is not populated in the Customer or Vendor, Dummy profit center would be assigned so that Legal Balance sheet and Profit centerwise Balance sheet can always match.
    We can always repost from Dummy profit center to the right profit center.

  • How to find change in customer reconciliation account

    Hi Experts
    We have an issue where total customer balance is not tallying with the balance as per Reconciliation account. We feel this could be because reconciliation account of a customer would have been changed.
    Can you please let me know
    a) If there is a way to find list of customers whose reconciliation account is changed
    b) Any other reason that could cause difference between total of reconciliation account and total of customer balances.
    Thanks,
    Santosh

    Hi Santosh,
    You can view the changes if you go to the master data of the GL account in question in FS03. TThen choose the tab "information Company code" (it is the last one.. type, control data etc...click in the little icon to drop down on the right.). Then choose 'Change documents' and this will display all the changes made to such account (you can swittech to 'all changes' and 'Technical names').
    The differences can be caused for many different reasons- in fact there are some reports that can do some analysis for you: 1- If new GL is not active try report SAPF190 ( F.03) . 2- If New GL is active try report TFC_COMPARE_VZ in se38. If differences are reported you can send the spool to SAP for further analysis - they have a team of experts who can analyse this issue.
    Unfortunately explaining all possible reasons and how to correct them would take ...  days.
    I hope this helps.
    Kind regards

    Hi
    A rather simple way will be to set up a simple substitution rule for that particular customer in GGB1. You can write a simple substitution rule as under
    Prerequisite:
    BKPF-BUKRS=1000 and BSEG-KUNNR=1001112
    Substitution
    BSEG-PRCTR =101332
    You should activate this rule for entire Document

    Hi Kiran,
    Make sure valuation area BP ( if you want to use it) is assigned to an accounting principal ,
    and this accounting principal should have all the ledgers assigned to it, so that the posting for changes in recon account is reflected in all ledgers

  • FAGL_FC_TRANS - Posting to Reconciliation Account

    Hi all,
    We would like to post to the reconciliation accounts while running the translation  but the system does not allow us to post to the same. Any suggestions / workaround would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Balaji

    Hi,
    Foreign currency valuation program can't post to a open item managed(OIM) GL account.
    Reconciliation accounts are by default open item managed accounts, so you can't post anything directly to those accounts. That's why we are using a B/S adjustment account which not open item managed for postings.
    Also you remember, you can't post directly to a reconciliation account directly. So postings can be done through sub ledger only.
    But You can't give sub ledger number in OB09 transaction.

  • Reposting Reconciliation Account

    Hi,
    I have a probleme with reposting reconciliation accounts. After changing a reconciliation account for a vendor, the client posted the balance at the end of the year from the old to the new account. Any former consultant found a way to post directly on the reconciliation account, even though it's normally not possible. So, he must had changed anything (in the customizing) to execute to posting.
    After recieving the payment I have to repost the balance now to clear the accouts and have no clue how to post there without using a secound or third account. (If I try to post directly I get the error message F5354)
    Is there any way to post on those reconciliation account directly? (Probably it's dirty, but I guess also the first one was not clear.)
    Thank you in advance...

  • Direct posting to a Vendor or Customer Reconciliation GL Account

    I need to make direct posting to a Vendor or Customer Reconciliaton GL Account.
    Is it possible?
    What is the transaction?
    Thanks in advance for your replies.
    Best Regards
    Naresh Singhania

    Hi naresh,
    For each subledger account , you must keep at least one reconciliation account in the general ledger. When you post to an account in the subledger, the system automatically posts to the corresponding reconciliation account.
    The "Receivables from goods and services" account is an example of a reconciliation account for customers. Enter Customer in the Reconciliation account for account type field. Enter a Vendor in this field for a vendor reconciliation account.
    Using the reconciliation account procedure, it is possible to create a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement at any time, since the amounts posted to subledger accounts are also posted automatically in the general ledger.
    You define reconciliation accounts by specifying in the G/L account master record the account type (such as fixed assets, vendor or customer) for which the account is to be used. In this way, the account can only be assigned to accounts in the corresponding subledger. You set the assignment of the subledger account to a reconciliation account in the master record of the subledger account. You cannot post to reconciliation accounts manually .
    Hope this helps. please assign points and close the thread.
