Question: Special G/L Indicators

Hi
I am trying to extract a report where I need a logic to recognise the kind of special G/L Indicator the user enters from the selection screen.
Below are the G/L indicator categories in which a user can enter an appropriate Special G/L indicator:-
CUSTOMER              Special G/L Indicator excluded(Statistical Items)
VENDOR                    Special G/L Indicator excluded(Statistical Items)
CUSTOMER               Special G/L Indicator for Downpayment/ Advance
VENDOR                   Special G/L Indicator for Downpayment/ Advance
VENDOR                   Account group- Vendor for Commission
No noted items are required in the report.
I don't want to hardcode the Sp G/L indicators in the code to decide whether it's for Downpayment/Advance or other.
But, looking for a logic which SAP must be using. Like in fbl1n , a checkbox is provided to select for noted items , that shows, SAP has a logic to recognise that it is a noted item.( no offsetting entries) .
Please provide any insights.
Thanks.

Hi,
Please check the table T074U there is a indicator for noted items based on account type that should help you to filter out the noted items.
Thanks and Regards

Field Status Group for Special G/L Indicators

Could you define different field status group for special G/L indicators? My problem is I am using two different special G/L indicators but their recon accounts are assigned with the same field status group. I used the same posting keys as well. But when it comes to general posting, they have different screen numbers. One SAPMF05A 303 and the other one is SAPMF05A 304. How did this happen?

Hi Noel,
As you have defined Field Status Group for 2 different SPL GL Indicators then it will create 2 different screens only as it wont consider the reconciliation account.

More Special G/L indicators

Hi everyone
I have a request concerning the special G/L indicators in SAP. Is it possible to extend them in some way? Accounting wants to use more than A-Z and 0-9. I know that is quite a lot but is there any way to get more then this number of indicators into the system?
Thanks for your replies!
best regards
Martin

Hi Martin,
Using Sp GL indicator this way will be a misuse, becuase special GL indicators are generally used for Special transactions like Down payment, Bill of exchange. And again you have to keep in mind, that in a company only 10 special indicators are allowed in the automatic payment program config. More posting with special GL indicators will not be user friendly option for line item reports.
You can do following config:
Step1) AP & AR> Business Transactions>Postings with alt rec account > Define Alternative reconciliations.
Map your standard recon account with all the possible alternative recon accounts that you want to post to a vendor
Step2) Make the check box Indicator: Reconcil.acct ready for input at time of posting is checked in the Create/Bank/interest tab of the Recon account master data in the relevant company code. T-Code FSS0
Now when the user is posting to the vendor, he has the option to change the "Recon account" to any other recon account he has mapped to this main recon account in step 1
Thanks

Automatic Clearing - Special G/L indicators

Hello fellas!
Does anybody know how can I clear vendors and customers documents in F13E/F.13 with different special G/L indicators?
Or someone have another alternative?
By the way..I donu2019t want to use F-32.
Happy Holidays! Have a great new year!
Thanks,
P.

Hi Marwan,
You can clear automatically normal items with special GL transactions. The reason is the entry are posted with different reconciliation account for both transactions. If you really want to clear automatically, then you have to follow below steps.
1. Define clearing criteria as assignment field (ZUONR) & document currency (WRBTR) in automatic clearing for customers. Suppose if you define a field ZUONR (assignment), then both the documents should have same value.
2. Clear the down payment clearing against the invoice in F-39
3. Then run automatic clearing f.13. The system will clear the documents automatically.
Hope it understands you.

Mukthar

A question about cluster of indicators

Hi,
Here is what I want to achieve:
Three indicators, use cluster to change the display
number
Here is what I have done:
1). Creat three indicators on the front panel
2). Put them in a cluster
3). Create a local variable and change its attribute to read
4). Unbundle the cluster local variable
5). Now I can't wire any vaule to the output element
of the unbundle function. (It seems all indicators become
data source).
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Regards,
Tao

The issue is that a read local variable IS a data source. If you want to write to a control programatically (promise me you are only going to do this in your user interface code) you have to use a write local variable. In your case here, you need to bundle the three control values before writing the output of the bundler to the local variable.

F-32 Difference Postings with Special G/L indicators

When we clear AR line items using F-32, and all the transactions we are clearing have the same Special G/L indicator, any difference posting generated does NOT get allocated to that Special G/L indicator, which is NOT what we want - e.g. if we clear the "C" account, then we want any automatically generated AB on account difference posting to also go to the "C" account, but it goes to the normal trading account (i.e. with no Special G/L indicator).
Does anyone know this can be changed via configuration?
Thanks.

Hi
A payment recorded with special GL indicator is automatically set as locked. This is sap program and cant be changed. When the related invoice is recorded , the down payment can be cleared with it using F-39, provided the down payment relates to the same sales / purchase order.
For the difference in customer amount, its difficult to answer as it may be due to wrong account selection or wrong amount entered in customer.
Thanks

Follow-on Question: special character in SED routine

ref. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1281065&tstart=0
Camelot successfully answered my specific question in the above thread. When I closed that out, I tacked on a related question -- but either that was missed or there's not a straightforward solution.
The question is: how do I deal with a single quotation mark (') in a routine such as
do shell script "echo " & T & " | sed 's/
" & punct_ & "/X/g'
where punct_ is "'"????
Camelot's solution was for brackets by incorporating an "-E" switch:
do shell script "echo " & T & " | sed -E 's/
" & punct_ & "/X/g'
I found that by also adding an escape:
do shell script "echo " & T & " | sed -E 's/
\\" & punct_ & "/X/g'
it worked for brackets and virtually all other standard punctuation -- but not for the single item "'". Now I'm finding that I really need to be able to deal with "'". Nothing I've tried has worked.

Ahh.
Please try this instead.
--SCRIPT
set rr to {}
repeat with p in "`';:&(){}[]<>\""
set p to p's contents
set t to "one two " & p
if p = "'" then
set sed_ to "sed -E 's/'\\''/X/g'" -- i.e. "sed -E 's/'" & "\\'" & "'/X/g'"
else
set sed_ to "sed -E 's/\\" & p & "/X/g'"
end if
set s_ to "echo " & quoted form of t & " | " & sed_
set end of rr to do shell script s_
end repeat
return rr
--END OF SCRIPT
cf.
sh.1.html
Quoting:
Enclosing characters in single quotes preserves the literal value of
each character within the quotes. A single quote may not occur between
single quotes, even when preceded by a backslash.
Good luck,
Hiroto
PS. Regarding NBSPs in my previous post, which are now not present, it is simply because I had editted my post as such! Sorry for any confusion I may have made.

I can't remember my security questions (SPECIAL CASE)

I can't remember my Apple ID SECURITY QUESTIONS, I also haven't got a rescue email. I know the solution is to call apple but I moved out of the US and now I haven't got a US number, which means when scheduling a call I cant enter a valid number. please help me, I'm hoping that apple themself read their forums cause I really need to fix this issue... I've been tolerating it for about a year now...

If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 - does the country where you and your iTunes account is based show on that page ?

Report S_ALR_87012085 , field Special G/L commitments

Hi,
A background of my requirement:
I want to have a vendor aging report. I have explored & identified that there are two standard reports available for the same:
1. S_ALR_87012085
2. S_ALR_87012078
I have run through Forumn & haven't got any answer for my query hence posting a new query. I need to understand some area in relation to these two reports.
Our requirement from a vendor aging report is to have multiple level summation from the point of view of Co. Code; then under Co code -> Account(vendor or Customer); then under Account detail list with seperate summation based on Spl. GL indicators for each Business Area.
Need guidance on:
1. S_ALR_87012085 : This report more or less satisfies my requirement except no seperate summation is happenning on the basis of Spl. GL indicators. However, in this report there is a input field is available 'Special G/L commitments'. I am putting values 'AW' here but no different output is coming whether we use this field or not. Please guide the purpose of this field & how to use the same. The document part says:
"List of Special G/L Inds for which Balances are Displayed
    List of the special G/L indicators for which separate balances are to be
    displayed in the specifications for the master record area. If special
    G/L transactions were posted which are not included in this list, the
    balances are summed up under "Other commitments". Noted items are not
    taken into consideration."
2. S_ALR_87012078: There is a report already existing '0SAPDUEAN-01' under the report type 'Line item analysis'. This report also doesn't satisfies my purpose completely. So I need a guidance whether I should modify a current report or create a new report. Also whether this transaction supports two report & provide us an option to choose either while executing the report?
Also in many threads it is written that,
' Go to transaction code FDI4
Select Form Type RFFRRD20 Line item analysis'
But I am not able to see this form type in my system. I am running on SAP 4.7.
Awaiting response......
Thanks,
Akhil

Dear AB2312
I undersood what you are saying, to put Spl GL recon account in the 'Line Item Recon A/c' field. But my purpose is still not resolved. I need to run S_ALR_87012085 once with all the input parameters & output should have multiple level summation as pointed by me in my first Post. Thats why I was wonderring what purpose 'Special G/L commitments' field serve.
Any suggestion on S_ALR_87012078 this as well?

Akhil

Down Payment Request - Special G/L Indicator F

Dear all,
While posting Vendor Down Payment Request (tcode: F-47), I encountered the following error message:
Special G/L indicator F is not defined for down payments
Message no. F5053
Diagnosis
The specified special G/L indicator is not classified as "down payment" or not listed in the list of the target special G/L indicators for indicator "F".
I have performed the following configuration for Special GL indicator F:
Tcode: OBYR or FBKP
Account type = K, Special G/L Indicator = F. I have set the recon account from vendor master into the list of the account, also the Planning Level = FF.
I click on the Properties button, and following is the setup of the Properties:
Noted Items  select this check box.
Target Special GL Indicator: AF
Special G/L Transaction Types: select Down Payment/Down Payment Request.
Can you please kindly share how to solve this issue? Thank you very much in advance.
Kind Rgds,
Dahlia

Hi Dahlia,
There are 2-3 things that you have to take care while posting Down Payment request.
1. Define F as Down Payment request ( this is std. provided by SAP)
2. Check box Noted items.
3. In target Spl GL, enter A..this is very important as this is the place where you are linking F to A
4. In spl GL transaction types, select the radio button Down payment/Down Payment Request.
5. Now in Spl GL A, take care that In spl GL transaction types, the radio button Down payment/Down Payment Request is selected.

Delete target special G/L indicator
Message no. F4137

In the SAP system, you can only use "Target special G/L indicators" with "Down payment/down payment request" when "Noted item" is also selected at the same time. These requirements are not fulfilled in the special G/L indicator "H".
Procedure
Delete the specified target special G/L indicator.

Travel advances per special g/l indicator - activate HRV

Hi all experts!
I'm on an assignment where the customer wants to change the procces of travel expense advances. Today, the advance is debited on a short term asset account and credit the vendor account. The advance is paid out to the employee and the payment is debited the vendor account. The actual trip expenses is debited a cost account and credit the vendor account. If the trip expenses is lower than the travel expense advance, there will be a debet post on the vendor balance. This way of handling the surplus of cash advance makes it more difficult to analyze and settle the surplus of the employee.
The customer wants to follow up the cash advance by special g/l indicator. I have search for how to make this field available in the tables of Travel management where You define the assigment to symbolic accounts in Travel management to accounts in Financial accounting.
There is a procedure called HRV trip costs posting Advances which would enable this.
How do You activate this procedure in the IMG?
Best regards
Eva

Hi Raynard!
Many thanks for Your reply!.
As I understand from the linked information, standard SAP does not include the use of special g/l indicators regarding cash advance in Travel Expenses/travel Management. The procedure HRV is not anymore valid for this purpose. Right?
The feature TRVCT, is that a BADI?
Best regards Eva
