Security Deposits and EMD

Dear Friends,
Any body explain the following please?
The basic settings for EMD (Earnest money Deposit) and Security Deposits. Are both one and same?
When i am giving Sp GL Request in f-37 i am not able to find feild "Tendering Document" as Reference and my SD & Proj Management Colics are wants to give Tendering Document as a Reference while creating a Spl GL for EMD.
Please explain the scenario... I may incurrect .... please correct me...
thank you

Hi
You are correct. EMD and Security Deposit have to be created as Special GL. But I guess they are part of Balance Sheet and as such have to be created as Other Special GLs. You need to maintain the required settings for your special GL in FBKP. The differentiation between EMD and Security Deposit is purely a Buisness Call and depened on your Business requirement, though in true sense, both are same.
Please check with your customer/Client/User, how do they want to show these deposits and depending on the same, you can define a new Special GL for the same

HOW TO secure access to OIDDAS and EMD??

Hi:
I want to secure access to the URL of OIDDAS and EMD to forbid managing the Directory Service and the Enterprise Manager from all places except localhost. Anyone did it?
How can I do it?
Best Regards
Joao Oliveira

This forum seems very very unsupported from the IAS guys :):):):)
So, here is the solution... Adapt it for emd if you want!!
add this to httpd.conf:
<Location /oiddas>
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
Allow from localhost

Calculation of Interest on Security Deposits Maintained with Vendors

Hi Friends,
We have some problem on Line Item Interest calculation.
We want to calculate Interest on Security Deposits(Spl GL) given to Vendors.
There is no Interest on Normal Items.
When we run Interest (f.47) it not calculating on cleared items eventhough we select interest for all items.
Example:
We paid Deposit on 01.01.2007 an amount of $10000
We recieved back total amount of Deposit($10000) on 15.02.2007
and when we run interest run (f.47) its not calculating any interest.
But we want to calculate interest for the period the deposit outstanding i.e. from 01.01.2007 to 14.02.2007.
Can any one help us in this regards,
Thanks in Advance,

Hi
You may like to check the config from the below angles :
1) interest payment is produced if the credit interest (because of interest calculated on items paid before the due date) is greater than the debit interest.
2) Calculate interest on items paid before due date
Indicator which means that credit interest is calculated for items paid prior to their due date, provided that the item paid was not subject to a cash discount. Interest is calculated using credit interest rates.
Note
The system calculates credit interest only on those clearing transactions where all payments were made before the due date. If you do not select this option for those transactions then the items are ignored.
This option has no effect in the case of clearing transactions where payments are made both before and after the due date. For transactions such as these, interest is always calculated on the basis of debit interest.
For partial payments and down payment offsetting items that are made before the due date of the invoice, interest is calculated from the document date if this indicator is set. If it is not set, interest is calculated from the due date of the invoice.
3) Calculate Interest as of Due Date for Net Payment
Indicator which means that interest is calculated as of the due date for net payment; otherwise, you pay interest as of the settlement period lower limit (if the due date for net payment is before it) or as of the date of the last (according to the master record) interest caluclation (if the corresponding parameter is set).

Creation of Security Deposits through a function module

Hi Expert,
I will be getting data from Oracle CRM to create Business Partner and Contract account. And also to create security deposit request (cash or non cash) against each contract account.
I will be using BAPI_BusinessPartner_CA_CreateFromData to create Business Partner and BAPI_CtrAcContractAccount_Create to create contract account. Could you please suggest whether my approach is right?
If this approach is right, Could you please suggest me how to create security deposit request programmatically for each contract account thus created? (through BAPI or any Events)
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rupam

Hi ,
For security deposits you can use the BAPI - BAPI_CTRASECURITY_CREATE .
In case of Creation of business partner and contract account you can check the following BAPI's specifically for IS-U .
BAPI_ISUPARTNER_CREATEFROMDATA - for Business partner .
BAPI_ISUACCOUNT_CREATEFROMDATA - for contract account .
Hope this helps .

How To stop the Security Deposited Calculation at the time of move out.

Hi Guys,
I am working on this issue from last week still unable to stop the calculation of SD in Final bill at the time of Move out, i have blocked the main and sub transaction, any help will be appreciated as early as possible, this issue has to be solved on weekend.
Regards
K. Shilpa

Hi Shilpa,
First thing I will say that if you reverse an actual payment from customer's account, there are many impacts on the customer side and on SAP side. I think you have already taken care all these things.
Now for the first point if you want the open SD will not appear in the print document, you can do it by reversing the security deposit or by invoicing printing configuration. For the first option you can go to change security deposit (FPSEC2) and reverse it. To do this all the SD documents should be in open status.
For the second option you can go to the following menu path:
SPRO-SAP Utilities-Invoicing-Invoice Processing-Item Selection in Invoicing-Item Selection in Account Maintenance/ Define Sub-Items
In the above menu path for clearing type R4 (Invoicing) and periodic billing (R41), you can control the items which will be printed in the invoice. Select the clearing type and click on the 'Item selection on bill print out' on the left hand side. For the clearing category (maintained at contract account level) you can maintain the main and sub transaction of security deposit (might be 0020 / 0020) and you can see a field 'IP' (Item Will Be Printed on the Bill) where you should maintain it blank. If you do that, security deposit will not be picked up in the invoice document. However it will remain open in the account if you just stop the printing of SD and keep it in the account.
However it totally depnds on the business requirement and related implications whether you want to reverse the SD or you want to keep this in account and do not want to show them on the bill.
Now for the second point you have mentioned, you need to first decide what you will do with the SD payments made by customer.
Either you can release the SD amount and refund it to customer or the amount can be adjusted with the next invoice. Again it depends on business requirement whether you will refund any payment made against SD or you will simply reverse all open security deposits.
Also if you want to stop the SD creation process now onwards, you need to revert all SD configuration like main / sub transaction configuration for SD, default SD releted settings etc. There is no standard process for it. If you want to reverse the SD, you can write a custom program. The configuration related things need to be done manually.
Since all the things will impact the business process or customer, I hope you will take care those things before coming to a conclusion.
Thanks.

FICA: Clearing rules for account maintenance & auto clearing to apply credits against unpaid security deposits regardless of due date

Hi Folks,
We have a requirement in FICA clearing rules to apply the payment against unpaid security deposit irrespective of the due date. I have the below rule configured as the first step in my clearing variant.
Grouping String: 019 (statistical indicator); Grp Rule: 3; Char Value: H (security deposits); AIRI: 4; Group: 019
Sort characteristic: 010 (Due date); Rank: 3; Char value: H; Rank: 1
I have maintained the corresponding clearing variant in all the clearing types (account maintenance, automatic clearing, and incoming payments); Clearing rule is working perfectly during payments, however for account maintenance and automatic clearing it's not applying the credits against security deposits first. I still see that the items are cleared only based on due date;
Am I missing something here? Please share your suggestions.
Thanks,
Santosh

Santosh:
This rule will not work in account maintenance. You would need to include the data about the credits into your grouping criteria in order for that to work. Most clearing rules do not work for account maintenance as they do for payments. You probably need to have a separate variant with a rule not based on statistical indicator, but rather based on transaction value or maybe create your own custom grouping via TFK116.

bill.

Interest Payments on Security Deposits

Hi ,
Can anyone help me on how withholding tax is handled in interest payments on security deposits to the customers ? What are the transactions and configurations required..
thanks ,
Amit

Hi Amit,
Go to Transaction Code-FQI9.(Posting Area-1086)
In this T.code, you assign withholding tax codes and country keys to main and sub-transactions. This means that the appropriate main and sub-transaction is written in the withholding tax line of every interest document.
Thanks,

Special GL Indicator for security deposits

Dear All:
I want to make security deposits to vendors through F-48. Please guide how do we define special GL indicator fo this booking secuirty deposits to vendors.
Regards

Dear
You get the same in editable mode only in Dev Client. You can change it to advance to work and through request if in the same landscape through t.code scc1 you get it else in different landscape need to release the request then with the help of your basis team you need to transport the same to production client.
Ensure the following:
In FBKP/OBXT for the specific Spl GL Indicator in Vendor (K)
Double click and ensure the Recon Account and Spl GL Account (Advance A/c)
Under Properties tab ensure for the account type K for the relevant spl gl indicator under properties commitments warning is ticked and under spl gl transaction types Down Payment / down payment request is selected and
posting key 29 is defined for Debit and posting key 39 is defined for Credit

Allocation of Security Deposits

Hello Experts,
How can I allocate a single security deposit to multiple accounts and track it? I have tried to solve this using collective CA concept but there too you need to create security deposits at each individual contract level.
Our requirement is to be able to allocate a single security deposit among say 3 or 4 contracts (let us say we have a BP like a Walmart with multiple branches within a city).
Any advise is highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!
DP

Hi,
You could try the following:
For the same BP, create either create one or many Contract Accounts.
Create Security Deposit requests for each Contract Account (or Contract - if the Contract field is mandatory on the Security Deposit - note that Contract field can be configured to be optional for Security Deposits).
Make a payment at the Business Partner level (Or Contract Acct, if there is only one for Account) for the full amount (total of all deposit requests).
The Payment Document number will be the common link between the multiple Security Deposits that are now ''Paid''.
I hope this helps.

Interest on Security Deposits

Hi Experts,
I have an issue with Interest on Security Deposits. Eventhough we have locks in Contract Account and its validity period is till 9999 and few years back returned the security deposits. When we run the Interest on Security Deposit FPINTM2 system calculating the interest for all (security deposit alredy returned and having locks in contract account) i.e. very small amounts like $0.86, $0.82, $0.73 and crediting. We have hundreds of contract accounts like don't know why system behaving like this.
Any thoughts and replies appreciable.
Awaiting your responses.
Thanks & REgards
KV

Hi,
If the cash security interest run is calculating interest on SD, then somehow the System is not taking the status of the SD as released.
You can first check in the table DFKKIAPT about the interest documents and all the relvant information,like the period for which the interest is getting calcuated, interest key etc.
Also check the released field in table -FKK_SEC for the security deposit no. For a relased SD, there should be flag X against this field. If this is not X, system will calculate interest on SD.
Moroever, instead of placing locks at the contract account master, place the interest lock at the SD line item through FPL9.
Hope it helps....
Thanks,
Amlan

Security deposits in a Utilities company

Experts,
I wonder if some of you guys could help me fin out the major pain points of the security deposits business process in the electrical utilities industry, and which of them are not covered by standard SAP functionality.
Rgs.

Depends on the country.
Pain points or complexity in the case of security deposit can appear when there is a change in the consumption pattern or the total load increases and hence there is a need to increase the SD, generating a bill for the extra calculated amount.
Similarly, if the average consumption goes down, then additional deposit may be refunded through adjustments with invoices.
However, SAP is offering a solution pack for India where this is supposed to be taken care of.
You may look into SAP to further explore.

Security Deposits

Hi
Can someone tell me how are security deposits handled in FI ? Do i need to make G/L accounts for each security deposit account?

Hi
The security deposit received from vendors/customers are both configured as Special G/L in SAP.
For customer the SPl G/L indicator is H.Only thing if you aware of SPL G/L configuration step,you will be able to do this.
The spl G/L indicator for vendor is also H.
Create an alternative reconciliation account and go to T code FBKP and do the necessary configuration.
If you require any other help.pl do mail.
If found useful assign points.
Cheers.
