Profit-center determination of bank subaccounts and bank accounts ; with new GL.

The question here-under has been asked a number of times on forums, though never answered really to my knowledge. Let me try to get it formulated once more :
- When a customer invoice is posted, the receivable is properly split per profit-center thanks to the active splitting solution.
- When the customer invoice is paid through a bank transfer, the following happens generally :
The bank statement posts a first area 'debit' bank and 'credit' bank sub-account on a default profit-center (this posting needs to happen first because SAP aims to have the 'bank' posted as quickly as possible 'in the morning' leaving the manual clearing activities 'in the afternoon').
The bank statement posts a second area 'debit' bank sub-account and 'credit' + 'clearing' receivable. There, the combination of passive splitting and inheritence makes sure that the profit center of the invoice receivable line items is also used for this entire posting.
- Manually or through automatic clearing, the bank sub-account gets cleared. Since the 2 sides have different profit-centers, the systems posts adjustment lines to the zero balance clearing account.
My question : for companies that want to achieve an entire balance sheet per profit-center, it is a problem that the bank account debit and bank sub-account credit are still with a default profit-center. I understand that the splitting solution in new GL does not offer a way to solve that. One needs to adjust the profit-center on the bank account and bank-subacccount with an allocation cycle in EC-PCA. Is my understanding correct or is there a better solution available in New GL ?
Thanks for your replies.

Hello Ronghua,
Many thanks for your reply. This note is extremely interesting and gives a lot of technical information on the differences between classic PCA and new GL PCA.
I nevertheless did not find clearly what is considered the best practice towards splitting bank account positions.
Kind regards.

Error in profit center determination for settled vendor down payments

Hello All,
When we try to settle vendor down payments an error is detected for the profit center determination .
The settled down payment is found on the dummy profit center instead of the profit center of the original invoice. This means that the reporting of oustanding payables per profit center is wrong
When you only see the invoice and not the settled down payment which should reduce you outstanding debt (down payment already paid).
Can any one help in this matter
Regards
Arun

Hi,
Check the document splitting configuration. Advances to vendors recon.. account should be assigned as category 'Vendor 'special gl transaction''.
Check the document type 'KA' transaction as '0300'... or unspecified posting.

Profir center determination in non leading ledger in tcode ABAA

Hello experts,
We are working on ECC6.0 and parallel ledger is already activiated. To post the unplanned depreciation only in the non leading ledger, I have created new transaction type and attched it to non leading dpereciation area. After entring through transaction code ABAA, when I run ASKB to post the entry in the financial books, I get the profit cetner determination error. Entry is as under:
Depreciation A/c ..........Dr
To Accumualted Depreciation Account.
Now for depreication account being expense account and having cost element system is asking for the profit center (cost center).
My question is, how can I guide the system to determine the profit center from cost center mentioned in asset master data?
Please advise.
Shailesh

Dear sir,
Please check your seetings in T.code ACSET. Whether KOSTL as a account assignment object defined or not. If not then please make the entry, by doing so system will check the cost center in asset master and will pick the profit center maintained accordingly.
As well check account assignment type as a 02 Depreciation Run
I hope this may help and solve the issue.

Reg. profit center determination

Hi Friends,
Could someone tell me the relationship between Material Group, company code and Profit center?
Please help me with the navigation or trans code to update the profit center determination to ensure a material group for a company code determines a specific profit center in sales order automatically.
Many Thanks
Chowdary

Hi,
I Material Master data, Profit Center and Material group are assigned. When sales order is created, profit center is picked up automatically from material master which can be overwritten manually when sales order is created.
in regard to relation ship, Material is created at plant level which is assigned to company code and material group and and profit center are assigned to material.
Hope this helps.

Profit Center population in the Vendor and Customer Line items

hello
our client is asking for getting profit center in the vendor and customer line items where in the view FBL5n and fbl1n we are not getting the profit center populated - in the new gl i understand that there is a standard report based on the gl account.
but our business is not satisfied with the report and expecting report at profit center level.
Can any one suggest any way of doing this.
regards,
Vijay

Dear Vijay,
Let me provide you my view of solutioning for this. This is an enahcement that needs to be done
1. You can get the profit center from the given vendor and customer line item at the time of posting, using an enahcement you will be able to capture it.
2. Existing the profit center field is not populated in the BSIK,BSAK,BSID and BSAD tables
3. Hence, in the same enhancement once you capture the profit center , you can write the code that profit center is updated in these tables also.
4. This will help you to do the vendor line item wise selection in the FBL1N, FBL5N profit center wise.
Constraints of this solution:
The only constraint remains where in the for a given document if there are multiple profit center, then the system will do the splitting profit center wise for a vendor line item, which will not populate the profit center in those tables as there is only one field available in the bsid etc.. tables.
This basically would be the one the soltuion where in as seeen from the end user ther eis no change in the front end interface , the way they are doing always they can do.
You need to also take care the % of document splitting means cross profit center postings /cross document splitting charactericstics postings and the volume involved in this. so that you can suggest this to your client.

Bharathi.

Bank Charge and Bank Overdraft Fees Master data

HI Expert,
When i am Running Bank Manual Reconciliation(FF67), I am not able to run successfully.i am getting error-there is no open item found for Bank Charge and Bank Overdraft fees.
however i made bank charge and bank overdraft fees as normal G/L. My question is that ,in real scenario how we maintain these two G/L,as normal or as clearing G/L(Open item Management in FS00).
Though i have tried in two before running FF67.
Bank Charge a/c Dr.
To SBI Check outgoing.
i have also maintain Posting Rule for bank charge and overdraft fess.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Bank charges and Overdraft fees will not be an open item account.
But your bank clearing account will be an open item account.
Error may be due to the incorrect posting rule defined.

Profit center assign in Copany code and controling Area

where Profit center assign in Copany code and controling Area ?

Hi,
Company code, Controlling Area, Profit centre, Cost centres are created by FI/CO functionals.
Pl. discuss with your FI/CO counterpart.
My suggestion is that, don't create yourself, because it integrates to lot of other areas.
Just for learning purpose, you can go to SPRO-Controlling-Profit centre accounting.

Bank key and bank number

Dear experts,
What is the significance of maintaining bank key in vendor master? Can multiple bank codes/numbers be assigned against one bank key or do I have to create as many bank keys as there are bank codes/numbers?
What is the corelation between bank key and bank code or bank number?
Thanks in adv,
Vijaya

Hi
Bank Key used to identify the House Bank. Generally we manage banks using Bank Number.
The Bank Number is used as Bank Key
In case of absense of Bank Number, the transactions will be done using Bank Key
We can't maintain multiple bank numbers/bank keys
we maintain bank key in vendor master, it is mandatory in ecc6 to if you do automatic payment to vendors.

Regarding Bank key and Bank account number

Hi All,
I have a query regarding Bank key and Bank account number.
I want to set bank account number length as 9 digits. so I set it @ below path
SPRO -> SAP NetWeaver-> General settings -> Set countries -> Set country specific checks.
I tried to change the bank account number length to 9 digits from existing 10 digits using transaction FI12.
But while changeing the bank account system throws an error like "Bank account number or bank number are not of valid length".
Can any one suggest solution on this?
Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Nidhi

Dear Nidhi,
It seems that earlier bank account number contained 10 digits and then setting was changed to 9 digits that may be the cause of the error. Do one thing, go back to country setting and restore the bank account number digit to 10. Then make changes to bank account number to 9 digits. Make similar changes to all bank in your company code which has 10 digits.
Then go to country settings and make account number digit to 9 digit which will prevent bank account number to be 10 digits created in future.

Difference of Bank key and Bank Account

Hi,
Can Some one guide me to unsderstand the maning of,
1) Bank Key and Bank Account in Vendor Master ?

3) Because My understanding is In FI12 T Code those are our company code banks thorugh which payment is done to Vendors correct me if Iam wrong.
Points will be awarde.
Regards,
Pallavi.

Hi Pallavi,
Press F1 help in the Bank key field, this is the information you find there:
Bank key you specify the bank key under which bank data from the respective country is stored.
When you define the country key, you also specify the country-specific definition of the bank key.
Normally, you manage banks using their bank number. The bank number in the control data for the bank is then displayed twice, that is, as the bank key too.
In certain countries, the bank account number takes on this function; then there are no bank numbers and the bank data is managed using the account number.
For data medium exchange, you may find it useful to be able to enter foreign business partners without a bank number, even if there are bank numbers in the country in question. In this case, the bank key can be assigned internally.
To manage bank data using another key, for example, the SWIFT code, external number assignment can also be used.
Bank Account number is your account number in the respective Bank.
Please reward points if helpful.

Check in vendor master record between Bank Key and Bank Account for Belgium

Hi all, just a request.
In Belgium the first three digits of the Bank Account are always equal to the Bank Key.
Unfortunately SAP does not check if they are different.
Is there a standard check or should I "offer" a custom control?
Thanks a lot !!!

Dear,
I checked right now in SPRO, but no validation with combination of Bank key and Bank account - that to particular first 3 digits not available. Option available is with ABAP Development.
Option 1.
You create Bank key using transaction FI01. Remove authorizations for FI01 from all users [Hope this already exists in your system].
In vendor master, if you enter Bank key - which also selectable with F4 option, if bank key manually entered and PRESS ENTER, one more new screen open to enter Bank data. That means after pressing enter system validating our entries in bank key with database and when not available, populating new window to enter new entries.
Now when ENTER pressed, suggest Development team to display an Error message 'Bank Key XXXXXXX not available'. By this user cannot enter a bank key as their wish.
Once valid bank key selected from selection screen - validate bank account entry first 3 digits of Bank key 3 digits entered. If not matched - Error message.
Option 2.
Simply remove authorizations for XK01, XK02, MK01, MK02, FK01, FK02 from all users and authorize only one user in creation of Vendor master who aware and take care of entries.

Syed Hussain.
