Purchase order using balance sheet accounts

Hi there,
We have a need to create purchase orders using balance sheet accounts instead of expense or cost of sales accounts.  Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Raymond
  Not realy clear which scenario u r trying to address here. But you can post the Goods receipt to a balance sheet account. U can ideally create a separate valuation class and use the same for account determination. The materials for which you are making the PO have to be asigned to that particular valuation class. The rest of the configurations will remain as they are. But in the transaction key you will include the new valuation class and assign it to balance sheet account.

  • Balance sheet account postings to Internal order

    Hi All,
    I have a situation in which I have to make a prepaid expense from a BS account but want to assign it to an internal order so that when this expense actually occur, I can use this internal order report for all the prepayment made against that expense. I can create a cost element for this BS account but this is not a good practice. Do you guys have any other idea that I can implement here which is good practice and also solve the problem.
    Thanks

    Hi
    SAP Best practises is not to assign Internal Order to a Balance Sheet GL Account.
    In the Standard SAP, you might get an error if you assign an order to a Balance sheet account, but you have an option to change the error message from error to warning.
    You might have to change the field status group assign to the balance sheet gl account to make the Order as Optional Entry.

  • Balance Sheet account in a Purchase Requisition

    Can I use a Balance Sheet account on a Purchase Requisition?  We currently do that and would like to be able to keep doing it.  However, no matter what BS account I try to use it says "GL Account XXX cannot be used".  
    Also/Or what Account Assignment Category should I be using?  I'm trying T.

    That post is particularly hard to follow.  It seems to say you can do it and you can't do it in the same thread. 
    In the end, I can't get it to work and need to know if it's not possible or if I just need to change some data and/or configuration.  If I check the flag "Post Automatic Only" on the GL account, and try to use it on a Requisition, I get the error "No direct postings can be made to GL account xxxxx in Company Code YYY."
    If I uncheck the flag "Post Automatic Only" I get the error, "GL Account XXXX cannot be used (please correct)."
    These are definitely errors and not warnings.  Either way it will not let me do it.
    If SAP allows it, then I still need to change something.

  • How to link Purchase Order using account assignment category "F"* to asset

    Hello,
    I'd like to know how to link Purchase Order, using account assignment category "F" to asset .
    When I enter asset no. in my ANEK table, po no(ebeln) and po item(ebelp) field is blank.
    whether every line item in a Purchase order have differrent asset.
    can anybody give me the link between asset and materal no?
    Regards,
    Rachel

    Hi Rachel,
    Your message is a little bit confusing. There is no link between the asset and material number. If you want to post your purchase order, using account assignment F - that is internal order - you may do it. Futher, you can settle the postings from this order to asset.
    You can read more here:

  • Balance sheet account can be used as a assesment element?

    Dear Gurus ,
    Please let me know wether a balance sheet account can be used as a assesment element.
    Cheers
    Balaji Dhanavel

    Hello,
    You have created two threads. You may please close one of them.
    However, I am giving you the reply here also, because I do not know which thread you observe.
    I do not know in which context you are referring as "assessment element"
    You can create a cost element by using KA06 and create a secondary cost element. However, the system will prevent you if you try to create a cost element which is balance sheet GL Account. You have give a name which is not a GL account. Then only you are able to create the secondary cost element.
    For assessment, you can select the cost element category "42". The cost element can be used for configuration in CO.

  • Goods receipt(PO) - balance sheet account

    Hi,
    Can someone explain to me what does posting to balance sheet account upon goods receipt means?
    Does balance sheet account = inventory account?
    Does this mean that the inventory qty has to be increased after GR?
    Thanks

    Thanks both of you for the replies.
    Can you advise me on how to resolve the below scenarios?
    1)Currently, for sales order purchases, we are using acct assign category "sales order" in PO, the stock qty is consumed by the sales order upon goods receipt.
    And it will post to COGS & GR/IR acct upon Goods receipt.
    If the requirement is to post to balance sheet account upon GR,
    -does that mean I have to bring this qty into inventory?
    - meaning I should be using another acct assign category in the PO.
    2)Another scenario is that  they also purchase services for the sales order,  and they are handling this purchase using another customized acct assign category in the PO that allows you to post to G/L acct directly without cost center. (no material master entered in the PO)
    Upon IV, it will post to COGS and vendor accounts.
    If the requirement is to post to balance sheet account upon IV,
    - is that possible?
    - Does that mean i have to bring this services into inventory as well? does not really make sense..
    Hope one of you can clear my doubts on this..

  • Condition type for fee - no change of moving price or balance sheet account

    Hi, hope you can help me.
    We need a new condition type for a kind of fee which has to be paid to the vendor and used in the purchase order.
    This is a condition type which
    - has to be part of the invoice
    - has to be posted as a kind of accrual
    - must not! change the price of the material or the balance sheet account
    If we use freight conditions the moving price is changed.
    Because it is dependent on the material (and therefore a condition record works great) we can't or better don't want to use a second position in the purchase order.
    Does anybody have a solution for this one?
    PC

    Thanks for the answer!
    This is what I already tried, but it still changes the balance sheet account and the moving average price.
    This is what I customized:
    Condition ZXYZ
      Cond. class   A
      Calculat.type C
      Cond.category B
      Item condition yes, delelte, amount/percent and Qte relation yes
      Scale base C
      Accruals yes
    In the Calculation Schema it's defined just before the Actual Price, with Statistical-checkbox marked and Account key ZE1, Account key - accruals / provisions ZE2.
    Do you have any idea what I have to change or what else to try?
    Thanks a lot!

  • PCA-MIRO: Porfit center on balance sheet accounts

    Dear Experts,
    I face the following issue:
    During invoice verification (MIRO) the profit center which was mentioned in the Purchase Order (the profit center to be assigned on P&L account during Goods Receipt and, if applicable, during invoice verification on the P&L account in case of differences) is assigned on the GR/IR balance sheet account in despite of balance sheet accounts are not transferred to PCA.
    It is an issue because it multiplies the number of line items during invoice verification (one line item for each profit center). Due to that, substitution would not be an solution since it will erase the profit center but not concatenate line items. Field status group of my GL account set the profit center field as "suppressed". MM field status group cannot be changed since the profit center is useful for the P&L account.
    I believe the solution should be in MM and line item summarization, but I cannot succeed.
    Please, could you support me?
    Many thanks in general for this forum and in advance for your help,
    King regards, Gregory.

    Hello
    Like FI field status groups, where we can manage screen field control, there  are field status groups for movement types.
    So in MM check FSG for these movement types and make them optional. It is somewhere in IMG in MM.
    Hope you would get values.

  • CO account assignment on a GR/IR Account (Balance sheet Account)

    The GR/IR account line item on Goods Receipt(GR) documents picks up the account assignment ( WBS Element, Cost center or an Order) from the Purchase order account assignment.
    The GR/IR account is defined as a Balance sheet account. So it is abnormal to pick up a CO account assignment on the GR/IR account line item on a Goods receipt or Invoice document.
    I shall appreciate if some expert here lets me know if there is a fix(an OSS note)  in order for the GR/IR account NOT to pick up a CO account assignment on the subsequent documents(Goods receipt and Invoice) from the Purchase order.
    Thanks in advance.
    Vijayanth

    Hi Vijaynath,
    If you have the modules like CO, PS, FM, IM and activated the above modules, at the time of the GR system compulsarly will ask for account assignment. Because PO might be crated for a project or cost center. In the above 2 cases system will look for account assignment.
    I guess system picksup the cost center or WBS against the Raw Material account but not for the GR/IR clearing account. Please check it.
    For the raw material and asset accounts you can create statistical cost elements.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Aslo see help on open Item managed field by pressing f1
    Indicator: Open Item Management?
    Determines that open items are managed for this account.
    Use
    Items posted to accounts managed on an open item basis are marked as open or cleared. The balance of these accounts is always equal to the balance of the open items.
    Procedure
    Set up accounts with open item management if offsetting entries are to be assigned to the postings made to these accounts. Postings to these accounts represent incomplete transactions.
    Example:
    A goods receipt/invoice receipt (GR/IR) clearing account should be managed on an open item basis so that you can check at any time whether invoices have been received for the goods received for an order.
    Set up accounts without open item management if no offsetting entry is to be made against a posting to this account.
    Examples
    Accounts that are managed on an open item basis include:
    Clearing accounts:
    Bank clearing account
    Payroll clearing account
    Cash discount clearing account
    GR/IR clearing account
    Accounts that are not managed on an open item basis:
    Bank accounts
    Tax accounts
    Raw material accounts
    Reconciliation accountsThese are managed implicitly using the subledger open item function.Profit and loss accounts

  • Balance Sheet Accounts

    Hello -
    I'm trying to bring two different fiscal year/periods, for BALANCE SHEET GL accounts, into the query results without having each fiscal year period listed-out individually.  For example, I want to look at two different periods in order to compare balances from one period to the next.  So I enter in period 003/2007 and then 004/2007 for the comparison period. However, because it is a balance sheet account, and in order to get the cumulative balance (not just the movement for a particular month), I have to use the "less than or equal to" restriction on the fiscal year/period objects.  But then what happens is my query results have 30 + columns per each fiscal year/period starting in January of 2003.  Ultimately, I just want two columns with cumulative totals: one for 004/2007 and one for 003/2007.  Does anyone have any experience with this scenario?  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Hi,
    You should work with varexits.User inputs one value for  0FISCPER in a var ZFP, single, mandatory.
    then you determine two other variables of type interval for your YTD cumulative BALANCE.
    Depending on which fiscal time IObj you have in your IProvider it may get even easier if you have 0FISCYEAR and 0FISCPER3.
    Please let me know what IObj do you have available and if you need assistance with the ABAP. With Dsource/content are you using? Sometimes even the cumulative balance is available...
    hope this helps...

  • Post balance sheet account to profit center accouting

    Hi.experts.
    I want to post some blance sheet accounts to profit center accounting,these account include material stock,wip. what should I do?
    thanks in advance.

    Hello
    Balance sheet items can be transferred periodically or online in realtime
    You can transfer the following balance sheet items to Profit Center Accounting in the standard SAP system at end of period:
        Payables and receivables
       Material stocks
       Assets
       Work in process
    This can be done in period closing activities for AR/AP
    The assignment of payables and receivables to various profit centers is basically derived from the offsetting entry line of the FI document to which they belong. It is not possible to make structural changes to them within Profit Center Accounting. If, for example, you assign a new profit center to a material, or change the derivation rules when creating sales orders, these actions do not affect the assignments of documents which have already been posted.
    The payables and receivables to be divided are calculated in FI at the end of the period. To do so, call up the SAP Easy Access screen and choose Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® General Ledger ® Periodic Tasks ® Closing ® Regroup ® Debit Balance Sheet Account Subsequently.
    Enter the company codes for which you want to perform the calculation. For these company codes, the payables and receivables are divided according to profit center and business area. The results are then saved.
    You can now transfer the data to Profit Center Accounting. Do not choose the next menu option Post B/S readjustment n Financial Accounting. Instead, transfer the data in the Profit Center Accounting application menu, under Actual Postings ® Period Closing ® Transfer Payables/Receivables
    You obtain a list of all the company codes in the active controlling area. Select the desired company codes and the period and fiscal year which you want to transfer to Profit Center Accounting.
    The system then posts the payables and receivables to Profit Center Accounting under the reconciliation accounts of the general ledger. No FI documents are created in the process
    You can call up the function for transferring material stocks in Profit Center Accounting Customizing, under Actual Postings ® Transfer Selected Balance Sheet Items ® Set Up Material Stocks.
    The selection screen provides you with the choice of all company codes within the active controlling area. Select the period to be transferred. The current period is always based on the status of Materials Management. Normally, the data from the previous period is transferred.
    You access the transfer function by choosing the following path from the Customizing menu for Profit Center Accounting: Actual postings ® Transferring selected balance sheet items ® Generate opening balance for work in process.
    The selection screen provides you with the choice of all company codes within the active controlling area. You also enter the period and fiscal year.
    You generally work with the standard results analysis version 0. Should you wish to use a different results analysis version, note that this must be set up in CO Customizing for updating in Financial Accounting, as the corresponding account determination is required.
    The program transfers all changes in work in process within a single period. When running this function for the first time with a given controlling area, please select the field Create opening balance. The system then posts the opening balance to the start period. You can also post the opening balance to period 01 at fiscal year change, so avoiding having to carry the balance forward.
    You access the transfer program by selecting Actual postings ® Transferring selected balance sheet items ® Generate opening balance for assets in Customizing for Profit Center Accounting.
    The selection screen provides you with the choice of all company codes within the active controlling area. The depreciation area book depreciation per trade law (01) is provided as a default. You also select the posting period and the fiscal year.
    You should run the program in the background, as large amounts of data are normally selected. If you select the field Line item, a line item will be created for each asset in Profit Center Accounting. When handling a large volume of data, you should only use this option for test purposes.
    The system assigns assets to profit centers indirectly, via assigned internal orders or cost centers (see Assigning Assets). The program transfers the acquisition and product costs, as well as cumulated value adjustments. The accounts used for this transfer are taken from account determination for Asset Accounting.
    Note that it is only possible to calculate key figures (such as Return on Investment) in Profit Center Accounting correctly if an indirect statement of assets and depreciations is made in Financial Accounting

  • Can we create a cost element for a Balance Sheet account?

    Hi folks,
    Is it possible to create a cost element for a balance sheet account? If yes, what are the scenerios we would need it and how is it done?
    thanks in advance

    Hello
    Please review the below information regarding cost elements category 90 : Financial Accounting Balance Sheet Accounts                                                                               
    Category 90  is automatically assigned when you create cost elements in CO whose   general ledger accounts in FI are asset reconciliation accounts            
    (special balance sheet accounts), not income statement accounts. You       
    cannot change this category in CO master data maintenance.                                                                               
    FI does not require CO account assignments to cost elements of             
    category 90. However, if you enter an account assignment, it is only       
    recorded statistically for real objects.                                                                               
    Category 90 allows you to check order or project budgets for fixed         
    asset procurement. To do so, enter the investment order or WBS element     
    in the corresponding field in the asset master. The Asset Management       
    component ensures that the order or element automatically appears in       
    the document when you access the asset procurement.                        
    The R/3 System debits the order/WBS element statistically in the           
    Controlling component, which you can then monitor with availability        
    control.                                                                   
    You can treat cost elements of category 90 as activity-independent as      
    part of cost center planning. 
    Also see note 75980  for further information.  From the note:
      The use of cost element category 90 is only provided in the standard        
      system in the following two cases:                                                                               
    1.  As of Release 3.0G, asset acquisitions and down payments which are      
          assigned directly to a fixed asset or asset under construction can      
          be assigned to an account on internal orders or WBS elements            
          statistically. In this manner, for example, an availability check       
          can be triggered on the order or the WBS element for asset posting.                                                                               
    2.  As of Release 4.0, cost elements of category 90 can also be created     
          for material stock accounts to display material make-to-order stocks    
          on sales orders or customer projects.

  • Credit Memo all my material items to be directly posted to Balance Sheet account

    is there a way where we can directly post these entries to Balance Sheet account

    Hi Sanil
    Thanks for the quick reply, can we assign a balance sheet account directly in VKOA in the G/L account field or do we need to add this in directly in Provision acc field
