Relating to clearing account

In sap what exactly clearing accounts.

Value difference for GR/IR Clearing Account in case of MIGO and MIRO.

Hello Experts,
One of our client has asked me about clarification regarding GR/IR Clearing Account shows different values when MIGO and MIRO posting. Scenario is that,
SEZ
Calculation of import Duty
Input goods
Material Base Value
       2,171,385
Landing Cost
             21,714
For computing Customs landing charges need to be added
BED @
10%
           219,310
Loaded in material cost
CVD, @
12%
           289,489
Credit taken
Customs Education Cess
3%
             15,264
Loaded in material cost
ADDL Duty
4%
           108,686
Credit taken
Customs Duty
           632,749
CVD
12%
           219,310
All duty
4%
           108,686
Cenvat
           327,996
CST
       43,427.70
2214812.7
Hence Material cost in GR/IR should be Rs. 22,14,813
Diff (2219092-2214813= 4279)
Whereas it is taking Rs. 22,19,092
My concern is that GR/IR Clearing Account consider only Material cost and non deductible tax amount i.e. CST which is loaded on material cost but system consider some different values, please check the above calculation. When user post MIRO in that case system automatically konck off GR/IR Clearing Account and post difference amount i.e. RS. 4279 to Inventory Account which is wrong. I dont know how system behaves in such manner.
Please giude me on this issue as soon as possible.

2)      The Billing Document xxxxxxx is already cleared
From the error found, we tried to reverse the cleared accounting document by using t-code FBRA:
System response:
Document xxxxxx IS NOT a clearing document
Question:
We have to reverse the clearing document first in order to cancel the related billing document but we keep finding this error, do Anyone have any advice to solve this issue?
We have simulated similar transaction in IDES and no problem is found, is there any specific setting in customizing that can allow cancellation of billing document regardless of its accounting document status (Cleared or Not Cleared) ?
Thanks in Advance,
Indro

Thanks a lot for the reply,
It answers my question, I found the copying requirement using routine 029 was defined in the cancellation document section of the Billing type to be cancelled
After removing, the billing document can be cancelled
Thanks,
Indro

Bank Clearing Account - Open Item Clearing

Dear Friends,
We have maintained the configuration for importing the electronic bank statement and we have tested and found that the entries are getting posted in the Bank Clearing Account. However, we have encountered a major issue, when we perform the automatic payment run, the value date gets updated in the Assignment Feild, whereas the users want this to be updated with the combination of "Document No. + Value Date".
Secondly, when we import the bank statement, in the multicash format, the posted entries in the Bank Clearing Account have the "Document Header Text" field updated in the Assignment Field coloumn, thus making it difficult to do automatic clearing of open items. In these entries also it is desired that the combination of Document No. relating to the item paid thru payment run plus the Value Date should get update so that the open items in debit and credit can be matched and cleared off automatically.
Your help would be highly appreciated in achiveing these objectives.
Regards

Thanks Murali. Another help needed is how can we change the values in Assignment Feild, which is now getting picked up from the Document Header Text? We need the original Docuemnt No. + Value Date to get populated in the Assignemnt Field in the entries posted while importing the electronic bank statement.
Would appreciate your help.

Separate GR/IR clearing account for non material

HI,
In the business, already an account is being used as GR/IR clearing account (WRX) for non material receipts (Non material means there is no material code exists in the system but at the time of PO a description is updated manually).
There are in all two plants and at present all the non material values are getting posted to the same GI/IR clearing account. The requirement is to have a separate GR/IR clearing account for both the plants.
Please note that its related to non material only and there is no material code hence no valuation class can be defaulted. Also if valuation class is kept "blank", the system allows only one entry of account.
Please let me know if any exist is available on this.
Best Regards

Hi
It can be done by defining different valuation grouping code for both the plants in OMWD. Then for the respective valuation grouping codes you can maintain different GL accounts in OBYC
Thank You,

Clearing of GR/IR clearing account/small difference account

Hi,
There is a huge amount (around 50 lacs) that is piled up in small differnce GL account (acount key - DIF) over the last 2 months. And as well if we check the GR/IR clearing account, it is more or less the same.
I've not used MR11 until now and so would like to know if this can be tackled with F.13 or MR11, if so what would be effect or in other words what should be my course of action.
I've tried checking some information, however as the time is very short and a scheduled month end is slated in other 3 days, I'd like to have some suggestions on this.
Regards,
Soujanya.

Hi,
Owing to the nature of this account(expense account) please note that F.13 or MR11 will never clear it since they are meant for clearing only GRIR related accounts.
You have to options here in order to nullify the balance in it.
1.. To wait untill year end so that amount in it will automatically be closed to Retained earning account as soon as you execute FAGLGVTR.
2.. For immediate purpose charge off its amount to retained earnings.
Beside this you should find out reasoning why such an huge amount is standing in it.

Foreign currency valuation for GR/IR clearing account is repeatedly posting

While executing foreign currency valuation (program SAPF100) through T code F.05 the following fields are selected for the spotted rate valuation for currency type 10.
A)     Valuate G/L account open items
B)     Evaluate GR/IR account (GR/IR clearing account is selected)
C)     Valuate customer open items
After execution the valuation postings are repeated in GR/IR FC valuation Balance sheet adj account while the postings in other accounts occur only once.
GR/IR FC valuation Balance sheet adjustment account is configured in OB09 for GR/IR account for respective currency type and local currency.
What could be the reason for repeated postings in FC valuation account?

I think there is some issue with the process, normally vendor/customer reconciliation account or some liability assets related account which has impact due to foreign currency rate changes needs to be revaluated. I don't understand why you have set up foreign currency valuation for GR/IR account, these are intermediatory account which reflects in system between for example GR and IR.
I also think that you need more information on foreign currency valuation, basically it happens on a particular key date and gets reversed on key date + 1, because revaluation is only required on a key date for reporting purposes. on the next day it get reversed and actual loss or profit on foreign currency only gets booked on realization.
Hope this helps!!!

Default Profit Center to Bank Clearing Account

Hi All,
Currently, our company is one company code to one bank account and one bank account use by different profit centers ( Bussines Units) . Our reporting ( Balance Sheet / Profit & Loss ) is by Profit Center Level.
1. Default Profit Center to Bank Clearing Account.
- we cannot create cashflow report by profit center, because bank clearing account is default by profit center.
2. Not default Profit Center to Bank Clearing Account
- We got Profit Center 9999 / P9999 issues on Bank Clearing Account.
Should we default Profit Center on Bank Clearing Account ?
Thank You
Alex Lee

Hi Alex,
If you are using 4.7 or ECC 5.0 then you needs to maintain Default profit Center for Balance Sheet G/Lu2019s through T. code 3KEH and 3KEI, else if you are working with ECC 6.0 then you need to maintain default profit center for Balance Sheet G/Lu2019s through T. code FAGL3KEH and for Profit and loss related G/Lu2019s / Cost elements profit centers derivation rule can be maintained through T. code OKB9 accordingly.

Use of Maintain GRIR Clearing Account

One of the user told me that we have to use MR11 (Maintain GRIE Clearing Account) at the period end. Let me know the use of the same and what results it will give

MR11 is used to clear GR/IR clearing account for quantity and price differences between goods receipts and invoice receipts. Refer the link below for details. If you select delivery surplus then MR11 and check Prepare list in MR11 then it shows the documents related to Purchase orders where goods receipt has surplus in price or quantity compared to invoice receipt. If you click automatic clearance then system posts the document in system.

Cash Discount Clearing account

Hi all!
When i set up G/L determination, i don't know Cash Discount Clearing account will appear in what tracsaction. Can you show me any transaction relate with this account.
Thank you!

Hi Tien，
The Cash Discount Clearing Account is only used when the 'Net Procedure'
option is selected in the Accounting tab of the 'AP Invoice' function.
The 'Net Procedure' enables recording in advance of any future discount
available from purchases. In this approach, the debiting account for the
purchase is automatically reduced by the amount of the future discount.
For example, if a 5 % discount is given for a $100 Invoice, the journal
entry to record the AP Invoice will be as follows:
Dr. Inventory - $95
Dr. Cash Discount Clearing - $5
Cr. BP Supplier - $100
If the 'Net Procedure' option is not selected, the cash discount will
only be recorded upon payment of the AP Invoice. Hence, the journal
entry for the AP Invoice will be as follows:
Dr. Inventory - $100
Cr. BP Supplier - $100
Hope it could be helpful.

Clearing Accounts Error during CAT7

Hi All,
I have got query related to CATS posting to CO i.e. CAT7.
We are doing inter company CATS. While transferring data to CO, we are getting error that clearing accounts are not maintained for the set of company codes and posting key is not defined.
We have maintained ZERO rate in KP26 for the year for which we are posting timesheet.
My questions are:
Can we post CATS to CO with ZERO rates maintained in KP26 for that year??
When rates maintained in KP26 is ZERO then do we need to have clearing accounts maintained thorugh OBYA??
Please reply with your expert comments.
regards
Nishith

Hi,
Thanks for reply.
In our case, for specific Cost Center, we do need the cost to bill it further but need to have quantity for CO reporting purpose. Hence needs to generate CO document.

Migrating open POs and GR/IR clearing account balance

Hello gurus,
I've got the following problem concerning migration of open POs:
For example: In my source system there is a PO for 10 pcs. of some material. There has been a goods receipt for 5 pcs. (200$ each).
Now, when I import this order and the corresponding purchase order history into my target system (using LSMW), the target system creates the order, a material document for 5 pcs. and an account document.
But of course, our FI-team also has to migrate the balance of the 'old' GR/IR clearing account.
So, the balance in the source system is <> 0 (e.g. 1000$), because the 5 pcs. have been delivered but there has been no invoice receipt yet.
This balance is imported into the new system and then the open orders are migrated, generating an account document and thus, the balance is 2000$ afterwards.
This obviously is not correct, so I am sure that I am missing something, just what?
Thanks
Alicia

Hi,
1. There will be an open PO uploaded for 5 qty and price 200$ each
2. Opening Balance of Material - 5 qty and corresponding value to Stock A/c - 1000$
3. Also there will be Vendor Balances uploaded in the system as 1000$ against the invoice. (If the invoice is still expected then chec with FI Users if they can get invoice form vendor)
if no then do not upload initial stock entry of step2, create a PO of 10 qty and then do GR in system (SAP).

Error -Account 'Down-payments clearing account' could not be found for area

When I am trying to pass a down payment entry by debiting vedor and crediting bank with asset it is giving an error as follows.
Account 'Down-payments clearing account' could not be found for area 01
Message no. AU133
Please help me to rectify the same.
Thanks in advance
Deepak

HI
Please pay attention at the possible causes of message AU133:
1. Error AU133:
   a) You have not defined a contra account for acquisition value postings in the Asset Accounting Customizing settings (Transaction AO90).However, this is required as of Release 4.6C because, as is the case for all other integration postings in Asset Accounting, invoice receipt postings have to be displayed in Asset Accounting via the new posting kernel to ensure an identical document
structure.
   b) You have defined the account in Asset Accounting, however, it is not created in the affected company code.Check whether the account is correct and create it for the company code, if necessary.
2. You have entered an asset reconciliation account for the "Contra account: Acquisition value posting" (for example, the same account as for   "Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs" account).This is not permitted.Check whether your account determination is correct
   (Transaction AO90) in Asset Accounting Customizing. The same applies
   for the 'Contra account: Down payment posting'.
3. As "Contra account: Acquisition value posting" you entered an asset G/L account. If necessary change the automatic posting indicator in the G/L account master record.
4.Check if you need revaluation accounts in depreciation areas involved   (AO90):
-Revaluation acquis. and production costs
-Offsetting account: Revaluation APC
Please run also programm RACKONTO where missing or wrong customizing
the accoutn determinations per company code is displayed
Also have a look at note 7595 in this regard.
Please assign points if it useful.
