Reg Recon Account and local balances in creating account

Hi all can anybody help me...i am getting the following error when i am creating the GL ac for Vendor Recon ac,(only balance in local currency is selected) ...."Balances for reconciliation accounts only in local currency not defined" Message No fh061, however when i deselect the 'only balance in local currency' system is allowing me to save. should we not select 'only balance in local currency for recon accounts?'
Are all the balance sheet accounts should be maintained in Local Currency? if so in above why system is restricting me.

Indicator: Only Manage Balances in Local Currency
Indicates that balances are updated only in local currency when users post items to this account.
Use
You would set this indicator for accounts in which you do not want the system to update transaction figures separately by currency.
Setting this indicator for accounts managed on an open item basis affects the clearing procedures. See the example below.
Procedure
Set the indicator in cash discount clearing accounts and GR/IR clearing accounts. It cannot be set in reconciliation accounts for customers or vendors. Setting it in all other instances is optional.
It is usually set for particular balance sheet accounts including:
Accounts which are not managed on an open item basis and not kept in foreign currencies.
Accounts which are managed on an open item basis and have the same types of items posted in different currencies, but always allow clearing to be made if the local currency amounts correspond.
Examples
You set up a clearing account for goods receipts and invoice receipts and manually post these items to it. You post invoice receipts in the invoice currency and goods receipts always in the local currency.
Invoice receipt 1000 DEM 600 USD
Goods receipt 600 USD
Both items can be cleared if the clearing account balances are recorded in local currency only. If you have not set the indicator for this account, the system will translate DEM to USD during the clearing procedure in order to determine the amount in USD required to clear 1000 DEM. If the translation rate is .65 USD per DEM, then the system displays 650 USD for the invoice receipt and 600 USD for the goods receipt when the open items are processed.
This means that to clear both of these items, you will also have to enter a difference posting for 50 USD, and the system will automatically make an additional exchange rate difference posting for this amount.
Makes Business sense as the customer an vendor accounts will have itmes with various currencies posted to it

Recon account and GL balanc

Hi
I am checking the opening balance (c/forward balnce)for the year 2010 between the customers the reconciliation account assigned to the customers.I see that the balance int he reconciliation GL account is more than lthe customer balance.
I know the recon account shows more value than customer opening balance.Now how do i identify why the recon account has more balnce than Customer balances.Is there any transaction code to check the balance incosistency.
Regards

Hi,
First check whether alternative reconciliation accounts are maintained for customer reconciliation accounts.
Go to FBL5N in dynamic selection tab you will find reconciliation account. If it is not available just check left side by double click on that you can able to see the field.
Give your reconciliation account and choose layout SAP-01 standard one.
In this way you have to download reconciliation accounts information customer wise. So you can easily identify the difference of balance.
Revert back still the problem is not solved.

How to upload trial balance when recon accounts wont allow direct postings

hi,
i would like to upload trial balance figures but i am not able to upload the figures for recon accounts since it wont allow direct postings. how to overcome this problem? any idea?

Hello Raja,
Under normal circumstances, uploading of GL balances is done as below
- take the closing trial balance
- create a control account in SAP
- Create a JV to transfer debits to respective GL accounts in SAP and credit the clearing account
-Create another JV for all credits.
- For customers/ vendors / asset balances use seperate method. Create first the reconciliation GL master record in SAP.
- Check the recon account entry in all the master record.
- now create invoices and the recon account is automatically updated.
- lastly make sure the clearing account balance is zero

Change recon account and transfer of Open items from Old recon a/c to New recon a/c.

Hi Gurus,
User want to change recon account for some customer and also wants the open items to be transferred to new recon from old recon account. We follow the following process:
Create a New GL Account for Adjustment Postings
Change the Customer Master Data with regard to new reconciliation account
Update the FI Auto Postings Configuration: Trxn: OBBW (Transaction Key: A00: Transfer postings: changed recon. acct) as under:
Old Reconciliation Account = Adjust Acct xxxx
New Reconciliation Account = Adjust Acct xxxx
4. Run FAGLF101 (ECC 6.0), with the intention, that the Balances / Open Items from OLD Recon would be MOVED to the NEW Recon.
When we execute the last step (4) in “Message” appears the following message:
“Account determination for transaction A00 is missing for account PV PUC
Message no. FR005”.
Where PV corresponds to valuation area and PUC is our chart of account. Furthermore, we run the process of foreign currency valuation at the end of the month.
What configuration is needed, If OBBW and OBA1 already been configured?.
We appreciate any help.Thanks.

Thanks for you answer. The link was helpful; however, today we find a solution to the error. In OBA1 when in the transaction appears a window requesting the chart of account, we chose the valuation area (option yellow arrow) and completed the configuration. With this, i could solve my problem, it was simple.

Vendor Account group and recon account

Hi,
I have 2 vendor account groups:
1) ZLOC- For domestic vendors
2) ZIMP- For Import Vendors.
My requirement is when I am creating the vendor master, the recon account meant for local vendors should automatically get selected and for import vendors recon meant for import vendor should be selected.
this is required to avoid entry errors by users. currently they are selecting by drop down and made mistakes.
Regards

Hi,
In std SAP, I don't think it is possible.
We have to maintain it manually.
It's not a day to day activity so very few chances of mistake by user.

How to transfer balance of one Recon. Account to another Recon.Account

Hi,
The scenario is that we want to change Reconciliation Account of all our vendors/customers. So we want to transfer the balance of old Recon Account to new Recon. Account.
How it would be possible?
Thanks&Regards,
Murali

hi P. M. Dhar
You cannot post values directly from recon. account to another recon. account. On the other hand you cannot change the recon. account of a customer/vandor when the balance is not zero.
Therefor you have to go this way:
1. Create a technical vendor/customer with technical recon. account. (Technical means used only for this purpose).
2. Post all values from all customers/vendors to this Technical customer/vendor (i. e. all balances will be zero on all customer/vendor)
3. Change the recon. accounts of all customers/vendors
4. Post back all values from technical customer/vendor to real customers/vendors
Of course steps 2, 3 and 4 should be done by programs not manually.
I hope this helps

Customer with balance - Recon account change.

customer X has a balance of USD 1000.
Customer X is mapped to GL recon account 200000.
now for a biz reason customer required to move to GL recon account 300000
could u please advise how to transfer the balance ( line item wise ) to the new recon account 300000.

Here is the official SAP help on the subject:-
Hello,
You should run balance sheet adjustment program after any reconciliation account change.
The system performs any adjustments required due to the change of reconciliation accounts or G/L accounts. The items from the old reconciliation accounts are allocated to the new accounts. Since you cannot post to the reconciliation accounts directly, the postings are made to temporary adjustment accounts.
These adjustment accounts should be displayed along with the relevant reconciliation account in the balance sheet. The postings are then reversed after the balance sheet has been created. The program for sorting the payables and receivables makes the necessary adjustments automatically. This means that you have to define the adjustment account numbers and the posting keys for these postings in the system. On the balance sheet key date the open items from the old reconciliation account are allocated to the new reconciliation account using adjustment accounts. This allocation is carried out automatically when you create a sorted list of receivables and payables using report SAPF101.
You should only run this program if your new reconciliation account is classified differently from the original in your FS. e.g.. AR to Intercompany accounts. It will just reclassify the existing balance. The line items will not be transferred. If not then no need to run the program at all.

Change the reconciliation account of the customers/vendoers:
Account has been posted to; hold balance sheet adjustment
Message no. F2067
Diagnosis
The open item account in which you want to change the reconciliation account has been posted to.
By changing the reconciliation account in the open item master record the proportionate values from the items open at the time of change are not posted to the new reconciliation account.
Procedure
On the balance sheet key date the open items from the old reconciliation account are allocated to the new reconciliation account using adjustment accounts. This allocation is carried out automatically when you create a sorted list of receivables and payables using report SAPF101.
The postings necessary are only carried out for G/L accounts and are cancelled on the first day of the subsequent month (balance sheet adjustment posting).

Recon account balances transfer

Hi,
We want to transfer some of the of the balances from one recon account to another recon account.is it possible
can anybody tell me the solution for this.
kindly send me the solution its going to be great helpful for me.
Regards,
Reddy

Dear
You need to create an interim account in FS00. For the old recon account untick the post automatically slot. Clear all the open items in the existing old recon account. Transfer the balance through JV to the interim account. Create new recon account and assign to the vendor master record. Now transfer the balance in the interim account by another JV to reconciliation account. For the new reconciliation account tick automatic postings. Check up assignments in Spl GL Transactions for down payment etc., for the new reconciliation account. Also Check up assignments in OB09 pertaining to Foreign exchange gain/loss for the new reconciliation account.
In OB23 change both Accounting and centrally part. Set the status of reconciliation account field to optional entry from display only. Save the work. Now define adjustment accounts for changed reconciliation accounts in OBBW. Run balance sheet adjustment programme FAGLF101.

To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry. If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

Recon Accounts assignment while creating a new GL Account

Hey everybody,
I was wondering if there is any global rule to which accounts should be selected as Recon A/c while creating a GL master in fs00. From my point of understanding the only Recon A/c's are Accounts Receivable as recon account :Customer and Accounts Payable as recon account: Vendor! So in which situation do we select Recon account : Asset or Recon account: Contract Account Receivable?
If you could please help me figure this out, I would greatly appreciate.
Thanks in advance.

General ledger is the main accounting record of a business which uses double-entry bookkeeping. In SAP, the central task of G/L accounting is to provide a comprehensive picture for external accounting and accounts. Reconciliation Accounts are G/L accounts that receive postings from a subsidiary ledgers. Meaning, transactions data are not posted directly to recon accounts. Example of recon accounts are Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Fixed Assets G/L. For accounts receivable G/L the subsidiary ledger is the customer account. All transactions with the customers are posted directly to the customer account and the recon account is automatically updated. How this thing happen? Well, when you create a customer account you specify under the Company Code data the reconciliation account.

Difference in the Balance between FS10N and Customer Balances in Local Curr

Hi,
When i am trying to match the Balances between FS10N and Customer Balances in Local Currency for the Period 8, we are getting the difference, The reconcilliaton Account was changed on 30.08.2010.
Please help Us in tracing the differences between FS10N and Customer Balances in Local Currency.
What could be the possible reasons for the differences..
Thanks

Hi Varshani,
Please use the program/report SAPF070 to compare or reconcile your AR with GL balances. You can use SAPF071 to correct any inconsistencies. Provided below documentation for these programs.
SAPF070 - Compare Documents and Account Transaction Figures
Description
This program compares debit and credit transaction figures in customer, vendor, and G/L accounts with the debit and credit totals from documents posted in the corresponding posting period (accounting reconciliation). The sales totals are also compared for customer and vendor accounts. There is no separate comparison for special G/L transactions.
A comparison for G/L accounts can be made in company code currency and in parallel currencies (such as group currency). A comparison for customer and vendor accounts can only be made in company code currency.
After the program has finished, a message is issued to the user that started the program. This message summarizes the results of the reconciliation.
Output
The program compares the totals of an account on a periodic basis. If the debit and credit total differs between account and documents, the account is printed with the debit and credit totals and the difference.
Differences in G/L accounts are shown per transaction currency. The first line shows the amount in local currency, the second line shows the amounts in transaction currency.
If a document which falls within the selection range is posted during the program run, the program is terminated since a reliable result can no longer be delivered.
SAPF071 - Adjust Balances after Comparing Documents/Transaction Figures
Description
If a financial accounting comparative analysis (SAPF190) or a comparison of documents and transaction figures (SAPF070) shows that there are differences between documents and transaction figures, you can use this program to make an adjustment. The documents form the basis for this adjustment. The program adjusts the (redundant) transaction figures, which are only totals of amounts from documents.
Requirements
All of the following listed requirements must be fulfilled:
1. A financial accounting comparative analysis (SAPF190) or a comparison of documents and transaction figures (SAPF070) must be made, and differences must be found between documents and transaction figures.
2. There must not be any inconsistent documents found. These are listed in both SAPF070 and SAPF190 as well as in this program.
3. There cannot be any problems in the other modules. Caution: You have to check this yourself. Financial Accounting may be correct but the other modules may not be, and this will adversely affect the program run.
4. You can only make the adjustment in the ledgers which are compared by program SAPF070. This is ledger 00 or a user-defined ledger for all parallel local currencies except the group currency. (The program displays these ledgers). You have to adjust any additional ledgers as well as average balance ledgers yourself.
5. No documents during the period in which you are adjusting transaction figures can be archived. Caution: You must ensure that these documents are not archived by establishing appropriate organizational rules and procedures.
Only use this program after consulting with SAP or after checking the prerequisites thoroughly.
You should adjust all differences together for a single company code. By setting the program parameters you can limit the adjustment to G/L currency types or to balances in subledgers.
It is advisable to execute a test run first, which will list any differences that are found.

Open item mgt and only balances in local currency

Hi ,
What is open item management and only banlances in local currency ?
for which gl accounts v select open item management and only balances in local currency
Pls explain urgent
Regards
umesh

1. Only Balances in Local Currency:
Indicates that balances are updated only in local currency when users post items to this account.
Use: You would set this indicator for accounts in which you do not want the system to update transaction figures separately by currency.
It is required to set theis indicator in:
1. cash discount clearing accounts
2. GR/IR clearing accounts.
It cannot be set in reconciliation accounts for customers or vendors. Setting it in all other instances is optional.
Open item management:
Determines that open items are managed for this account.
Explanation: 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.
USE:
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.
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 accounts
Hope this is helpful. Pleas assign points if it is.
