Segment and Accounts Recievable

dear all,
          i have activated document splitting for segment reporting for the co code.the issue is when payments & Reciepts are made in AR/AP system creates two line items for the same invoice for clearing purpose.however our client requires that only single clearing item is shown (as the system does if segment and document splitting is not being used) when single clearing payment is made for the invoice for different segments.

two clearing line items are coming because the posting involves two different segments.  In order to balance these two segment items, system has to pass a debit and a credit posting.  That is why it is producing two line items.  I hope you have understood the basic concept behind this and try to make your user understand the need of the two lines.  with one line, how will the entries get balanced ????

  • Cost Centre and Account Segmentation

    Dear Experts,
    Our client's requirement is to take profitability branch wise, department wise. 
    Can we use Cost Center or we can enable account segmentation.  Which is the best way. 
    As per SAP notes, it is stated that account segmentation is used for branch wise, region wise, department wise arriving balance sheet, profitability.
    Which will be the appropriate way.  What is the advantage and disadvantages if we cost center or account segmentation.
    Thank You,
    Sundaram R

    Hi Senthil, this is what I have experienced.
    Segmentation may be mandatory in USA, for other countries they are optional.
    For some who are playing the role of accountant in the company, they find it hard to comprehend the segmentation rule. In which case it is best to convert their current single segment profit center oriented chart of account to map into SAP B1.
    Segmentation may be too complicated for smaller companies and one or two ware houses, mainly because to best use the segmentation, the accounts in G/L determination and warehouse determination and item determination need to be configured properly for segmented chart of account.  At times the customer will have to choose a segment for manual JE, and it is not that simple if they are not used to the idea of segments.
    There will be situations when certain segments do not make sense and yet you need to have them as zeros or something common while implementing it. You may end up creating too many segments or too few at the beginning. If too many it is not a good sight with useless accounts, if too few, they creating new accounts needs planning.
    I would leave the option to customer and as consultant it also depends upon your own experience.
    Hope that helps.

  • Posting periods and account segmentation

    the company has several suboffice/division, but they want all under one company in B1. also they receive some of they invoices 2 months lates. Data migration will go back 2 years. So what is best way to set up posting period and account segmentation.

    Hello,
    Take a look at this thread and copied to your notepad :
    Division in SAP Business One
    about how to create suboffice/division.
    The posting period can be created go back more than 1 years from now as long when performing data migration, do not forget to set the current period that match with your data dates. The invoices and other opening balances can be migrated using DTW templates.
    So, I suggest you could create posting period more than 2 years ago in the last time and create 2 segmented accounts consists of sub office and division beside natural account. E.g. :
    12111-01-02 : 12111 is natural account, 01 is suboffice code and 02 is division.

  • Relation between Account Recievables and Profit center

    Hi ,
    Can you pls help me with the relation between the account recievables & Profit center.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Accounts Receivables records all account postings generated as a result of Customer sales activity.
    These postings are automatically updated in the General Ledger. It is within the Accounts
    Receivables Module that you can monitor aging of the receivables and generate customer analysis. The Accounts Receivable Module also integrates with the General ledger, Sales and Distribution, and Cash Management Modules.
    Profit Center Accounting provides visibility of an organizationu2019s profit and losses by profit center. The methods which can be utilized for EC-PCA (Profit Center Accounting) are period accounting or by the cost-of-sales approach. Profit Centers can be set-up to identify product lines, divisions, geographical regions, offices, production sites or by functions. Profit Centers are used for Internal Control purposes enabling management the ability to review areas of responsibility within their organization. The difference between a Cost Center and a Profit Center is that the Cost Center represents individual costs incurred during a given period and Profit Centers contain the balances of costs and revenues.
    Hope this helps.

  • COPA document not generated though after billing and accounting generations

    For some reason COPA document is not generated even though billing and accounting document were created. Found no errors in simulation using KE4ST. The billing item details has all the PA segment characteristics.
    COPA documents were created for entries made befor and after this particular one.
    Also we have COPA documents for the product with the same customer and different customers.
    Our system is 'SAP ERP Central Component 5.0'

    Thanks Ajay for the quick response.
    Cost element category is correctly maintained.
    Condition types are mapped.
    COPA is in use for more than 4 years.
    Able to simulate COPA document for the Billing document without errors.
    We do have COPA documents created before and after this particular transaction.

  • Issue with valuation segment and gl in MB5l

    Hi gurus
    I have an issue with a couple of materials in a report in MM MB5L list of stock values.  The materials they are reporting with the issue have no costing screen extended in MM and I think this maybe the issue.  The message I am getting is:
    Account 121160 does not exist in company code 0010 G/L accnt is missing for val. segment 000005 1400.
    I have checked the account and it does exist in the company code, is there any other config between the segment and gl account.
    regards

    The transaction is MB5L which is stock values balances.    The message is:
    Account 121160 does not exist in company code 0010
    G/L accnt is missing for val. segment 000005 1400,
    There is no message number,  no question mark(help) to check the message number either,  as it is just text at the bottom of the report showing the error.
    I thought it might just be because the costing view was not setup,  however not sure why the gl account is coming up as cannot see any postings to this account?   It maybe that they have not done the relevant MM configuration.  The gl account is a material management account.
    thanks

  • Profit Segment in Account Assignment Tab of MIGO?

    Hi,
    Why is profit segment showing up in the account assignment tab when I am trying to post the goods receipt for a purchase order through MIGO? The material is a drop ship.
    I am not maintaining profit center fields in the material master.
    Please help me with this question.
    Thanks,
    Ketan

    Hello Ketan,
    I am also facing more or less the same issue where I am getting the following:
    When I try to post goods receipt for a direct shipment, I receive the error: Inconsistency between a document field and profitability segment number.
    I noticed that in the account assignment tab of MIGO,  there is a field/section for Profit segment and I belive this is causing the problem. We have never maintained profit center so I am wondering where it came from.
    Did you solve your issue?
    Regards,

  • Difference between operating concern, segment and business area

    hi,
    can any one tell me the diffrence between operating concern, segment and business area with example.
    regards,
    ankur

    Hi,
    Operating concern is the highest level of hierarchy in controlling area.  Operating concern used to
    do analysis on PCA (Profit Center Acctg) / CO-PA.  This is basically used for the analysis of parameters, like measuring
    internal profit of a SBU, Sales data analysis (COPA).They can even be used for Analysing balance sheet items
    (Stocks,Assets,cash etc.)
    Segment- financial report information by line of business and geographical area
    business area- equivalent to a specific area of responsibility within your company or business segment.  This can be used for both internal and external reporting
                          Business areas are primarily used to facilitate external segment reporting across company
    codes, covering the company's main areas of operation (product lines, branches)
          organizational units in FI module are ( in sequence): Client, company code, business area, company, credit cotrol area, funds
          management area, dunning area, chart of accounts and controlling area.

  • Costing Based And Account based COPA - Need Assistance

    Hello All,
    In our project, with no other option we are planning to implement both costing based and account based COPA. I have been told that it is not recommended by SAP because for every entry there will two line items, one in cost based and another in account based (Correct me if I am wrong). But I could not understand why it is creating 2 line items in COPA. - Please help to understand this concept with an Example.
    Thanks
    PM

    Hi
    Costing based and account based COPA serve the same purpose...   analyze profitability of the product ....
    Costing based COPA should always be preferred over account based COPA, as it provides greater flexibility, some extra features, some extra planning mechanism and faster reports
    Following  are the point of differences between Costing based vs. Account based copa (ABC)
    1. Account based copa uses transaction tables (COEP, BSEG) and hence affects performance of CO transactions.CBC takes values from CE1XXXX to CE4XXXX tables. XXXX means Operating Concern name.
    2. Estimated / Statistical values not possible in ABC, say, calculating frieght upon invoice on a thumb rule basis to have better view of profitability per customer.. no valuation strategy in Accounts based COPA..
    3. Reports based on line items not possible in ABC.. possible in CBC.
    4 Actual Top Down distribution only available in CBC not in ABC .
    5. Revaluation of actual data to plan data is not available in ABC
    6. No key figure schemes are available in ABC
    7. In ABC, settlement cost elements are used to settle values to prof segments unlike value fields in CBC
    8. Production variance / COGS accounts shud be defined as cost element in ABC.
    System creates a document for each type of COPA as it stores values in different tables and what you can do with this data also differs like you can do TOP down in Costing Based Copa..
    Hence, you will have two COPA documents always......................
    Fot further clarifications .. please revert back..
