Service entry postings

Hello Experts,
            There is an error when an End User enters the invoices for the service entry. A service entry for three invoices is made in ML81N, (ex: $1600) by refering to the purchase order. Then the next step would be approval of the service entry. when it is approved and when go to display the document, the account distribution is correct. When the first invoice is posted for $600 and then when you display the document its showing:
pk 31 vendor a/c $600
pk 86 gr/ir a/c    $1600 (full service entry amount)
pk 91 warehouse
         supplies    $1000(difference of full service entry -first invoice)
But the postings should be
pk 31 vendor a/c $600
pk 86 gr/ir a/c     $600.
This is very urgent issue, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Leoni

Hi Sarma,
Thanks a lot for your response.
I clearly not sure if you are saying that for a service entry we cannot enter more then One invoice. This is like entering invoices partially according to the services rendered.
When the service entry is $2000 and if the invoice is posted for $2000 then the posting are correct. But the issue arises when a service entry is for $2000 and if we are posting invoices lets say 1000, 500 and 500 then the error is occuring. It is posting pk 31 vendor 1000$
pk 86 gr/ir 2000$( total service entry)
pk 91 warehouse 1000$(difference amoutn)
Could you please help me out with this issue, it would be very much appreciated.

Service entry made in TC-ML81N

Hi
There is a document entered to a G/L-85040(LIABILITY FOR PRIMARY FREIGHT) as a credit entry.While verifying the document it is found that it is a service entry made for AMC in TC-ML81N.More over it is a system entry.Then i verified the TC-OBYC & the finding is as follows.
The valuation area of the plant kkd3 is NFC1, whereas all the other plants will come under NFCL. The service will not have a valaution class. In obyc for the combination of WRX(GR/IR clearing account)/NFC1/blank valuation class we have given 85040 as the gl account code. The mentioned entries are related to service entry postings of the plant KKD3. So the credit will go to 85040 only.
Now my doubt is what is the relation between the TC-ML81N with that particular G/L& from where it is picking up that G/L automatically.
Is it the G/L is picked up because of the above assignment in OBYC.Do this entry have any relation with OBYC.
PLEASE CLARIFY
Thanks
shivaji

Hi,
Based on the automatic account assignment determination maintained in OBYC & etc., corresponding G/L account will be picked up at the time of creation of Purchase order(Or work order) itself. The same G/L will be posted with the actual values at the time of GR or Service entry.
Thanks

Enter Invoice before Service Entry for Service POs?

Hi,
I have a question that I am hoping someone can answer.
As per standard process, in order to enter an invoice for a service PO, the service entry should be posted and accepted. This is the standard service procurement process, i.e. a 3 way match process for service POs (PO - Service Entry - Invoice).
We have a request to be able to enter an invoice for a service PO (that will go on block) before entering the service entry sheet; once the service entry sheet is entered and accepted, the invoice should be unblocked and paid.
Currently, based on our testing in ECC 5.00, the system does NOT allow the user to enter an invoice for a service PO unless:
1. the service entry has been posted and accepted in the system (when using GR-IV checked, GR checked); or
2. the service PO is created such that the GR is non-valuated (where GR-IV is unchecked):
     a. GR-IV unchecked
     b. SR-IV unchecked
     c. GR checked
     d. GR non-valuated checked
In option 2 above, since it is GR non-valuated, as soon as the invoice is posted, the consumption account is hit, and offset by the vendor account (the GR/IR account is not impacted in this scenario). When the service entry is created and accepted, no accounting postings are made as it is GR non-valuated. Therefore, it looks very similar to a 2 way match process.
We also read in SAP Note 1166693 that says an invoice cannot be entered before service entry unless you activate Enterprise Public Sector, however, this conflicts with option 2 mentioned above.
Has anyone come across a similar requirement, implemented Public sector, option 2 above, or have any other solutions? Does anyone see any negative impacts with implementing option 2 above?
Cheers,

Hi,
I think you can use this functionality using LIV tolarance key DW ,please explore Spro>MM>LIV>Invoice block>set tolerence limits
By creating PO IV based you can block invoice till GR is posted, check it

Issue with Service Entry Sheet Acceptance

Hello,
I am running into an issue when accepting service entry sheets. Here is the scenario
I created 6 service master records and assigned unique valuation classes to each one of them . Each valuation class determines unique G/L account in Inventory postings ( Tcode OBYC-GBB)
I am creating a service entry sheet for these 6 service master records against a PO and accepting with different dollar value for each of the records. When I check PO, I can see only one line in Material document being generated with a cumulative dollar value from 6 records being posted to G/L in the PO ( I was expecting one Material doc with 6 different lines with postings made to individual G/L account mentioned in the Config)
What am I missing in the config/data setup which is triggering postings to account in PO instead of individual accounts from OBYC setup
Any inputs appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
For service procurement( which is without material master) ,the account determination for service or without material master,the G/L accounts are assigned with service group/material group where you defined material group in OMSF and then material group link it with valuation class in OMQW.
In OBYC ,_no valuation class needed for Service with WRX key_.Use t.code: OBYC, Enter Chart of Account. Now & Double click WRX,, in next screen ,click RULES in application tool bar & then in next screen do not select check box of valuation class & save.
Now come back & Use t.code: OBYC, Enter Chart of Account, Double click WRX & enter your G/L account ONLY for GR/IR Clearing(for service)save.
The accounting entries are for service procurement are:
The accounting entry after SES released
*Service Procurement(KBS): Dr
GR/IR Clearing-service( WRX): Cr
The accounting entry after MIRO posting:
GR/IR Clearing(service): Dr
Vendor Account: Cr
The *Service Procurement account triggered during SES released bcuz of the same G/L account you entered during creation of PO/SO with cost center( check PO account assignment TAB in PO item details)

Service entry sheet Number shown in PO history but does not exist

Dear Experts,
we use ZML81N : for creation of SES
& use ML81N : For Acceptance ( Release ) of SES
while creating PO , under services tab for a line item , the service has been entered for total Quantity 12 & units as "months"
User tried to create one service entry sheet against the line item with Quantity = 1 & unit = month , but it seems this SES got saved somehow without any line items inside it .
if we we try to open this SES with number shown in PO history , system says SES "Does not Exist"
In the PO history against the PO item in Item Details-PO history tab , one Service entry sheet is showing with "SEnt" in the
short text , but there is no row in PO history for the above with short text as "GRSR" , which also should have been created
automatically by the system . In the column "Amount in LC" , amount for the service is showing .
When a new SES for the same line item is attempted to be created , the system is showing available balance Quantity as "11" ,
that means system is considering the "1" quantity entered in the first SES as consumed .
Please advise how we can delete the first SES which we are not able to see , free-up the budget consumed by this SES &
restore the Balance Quantity shown in the new SES as again "12" as if no SES has been done against the PO line item.
I have tried to search the forum , but could not find solution.
Your Response will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks in Advance .

Anil Shanbhag

Dear Sir,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
After checking it is found that there is no data in the tables ESLL, ESLH, etc. stored for the mentioned entry sheet, so SAP can not try to reconstruct the entry sheet based on that data.
Can you please tell from which tables the wrong FI and CO postings (e.g., the referring accounts) must be cleared manually in order to solve the problem ? as we could not find the value of "LC amount mentioned against the Service entry sheet in PO history" in both the tables ESLL & ESLH.

Error while creating the service entry sheet in PRD

Hi All,
We are in SAP R/3 4.7 Version. OF39 settings are 58 & 61 Statistical update only ! Now my case is i assigned Rs.100 Budget agaisnt one FC & Comitmetn item & created one service Purchase order Rs.80 & Make down payment against same PO Rs.80.
Now as per above mentioned scenario ,system should allow new Purchase order creation for Rs. 20. But my system is allowing to create up to Rs.100. I am very much sure system not allowed the same and also allow for service entry creation for first PO. But system given error message while doing the Service sheet.
Kindly advice. OF39 settings are OK .Both are statistical only
Rgds
ManiSuma

Hi Manisuma, statistical update is recommended to be used only at the begining of a document chain (i.e.purchase requisition or funds reservation) cause if you set it in intermediate documents as you did the budget is set as available, in your example the downpayment reduces the purchase order commitment, and as the downpayment is statistical it does not affect the Availability Control, so the amount (80 in your example) becomes available again so new commitments/actual can be created.

Error in Posting Service Entry Sheet - FI 311 No Commitment Item in Item 1

Dear All,
We need a suggestion/solution for the following problem :-
Our customer had raised purchase orders for services in may 2010. The following critical entries were made in the purchase order.
Account Assignment Category was P-Project
The WBS element was entered as the Accounts Assigment Category was P.
The user was entering uncoded services. Hence the material group for that service which had G/L a/c tagged to it was entered. But the G/l code was not populated in the purchase order by the system at that time of creation of purchase order and subsequently the user was able to save and release purchase order.
The user was able to post Service Entry Sheet and generate accounting entries in june 2010.
Additional service entry sheets are required to be posted for the remaining quantites. The client has urcated the SES process into two parts.
1. Through T-code ZML81N the end user is able to create and save the SES.
2. Through T-code ML81N the Head of Department is able to approve and post the SES which results in generating of accounting entries.
Presently the user is able to create SES with tcode ZML81N. But when the HOD tries to approve and post the ses we get the error.
FI 311 - No commitement item maintained in Item 0001 in P220 (company code).
Fund Management is active in this company code and all settings related to Funds Management and FI have been checked by respective consultants.
The end user is not having any problems in processing SES for current Pos. But he is not able to create SES for the POs created in May, 2010 for which the user has already created and posted more than one SES against the same POs.
We have already escalated it to SAP.
Thanks in advance
Anil Shanbhag

Hi,
Use T.code:FS00 and check G/L account 280000 is there in your company code or not.
If yes, check its nature(type/description,control data , cretae bank/intererst tabs)of G/L
NOTE: Also check and compare the field selection between Movement type 101 & your G/L account 280000 in SE38 t.code with Program RM07CUFA

Prevent auto creation of service entry sheet

Dear friends,
I am using maint plan for creating service entry sheets automatically. I am using framework order where I give the validity period. Now when I try to generate service entry sheets through the plans after the end of validity period given in framework order,the system is allowing creation of service entry sheets. Is it possible to prevent a maint plan triggering a service entry sheet if the call date for the service entry sheet to be generated falls outside the validity period given in framework order.
best regds
Arun

Arun,
This doesn't suprise me...
I'm not sure if there is a standard solution, but you could do this via user-exit/BADI (see [here|http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=648307] under maintenance plans )

Purchase order and service entry sheet

Hi
Is there a way to prohibit modifications on the position of services purchase order when the service entry sheet and the invoice were already entered for that position?
Thanks in advance for your help
Tomas

hi, thanks for your help, but the problem that i have is when the service entry sheet and the invoice are allready entered, the user change the value of the position and the service tab, so the user can enter services for more amounts. So its produce difference on the purchase order history between the values of LERF (WE) and the value of the purchase position. For example
Service Purchase order for 100 dollars.
Tab service: 2 units for 50 dollars
The user enter one service entry sheet for 50 and the invoice for 50 (lerf and WE= 50)
Then the user change the position of the purchase order and increase the value to 100 and modifies the service tab to 1 services for 100.
Then he enter one service for 100 and the corresponding invoice..........so the result is the following:
Service purchase position: 100
LERF-WE: 150
so the purchase order history is inconsistence.
For that reason i whant to know is there is a wat to prohibit modifications on the position of purchase order
Thanks in advnace for your help

VALUE IN PO HISTORY OF SERVICE ENTRY SHEET EXIST EVEN AFTER DELETION OF SES

Respected All,
My client has prepared a down payment request , prepared a service purchase order against that vendor, created service entry sheet.
Later on he came to know that the qty he has entered is wrong ,so he reversed all the goods receipt(done 102 Mvt) , deleted the service entry sheet and now trying to create new SES against the same line through ML81N.
But the Qty column after selection of services is coming blank, i have checked the po history, in that the GR Qty and value is zero and service Qty is zero but service value and down payment column still contains the value, though we have reversed the service entry seet.
please guide me what to do to reflect the qty part in ML81N again.
Thanks and Regards
Abhay Mahodaya

can you see the material document with reverse movement ( 102 ) ,corresponding to your cancelation of SE sheet in the P.O history tab?
also check whether the 'actual quantity' in the Service entry extreme right column shows zero.
check in the deleted SE sheet history tab 'change document' button whether the last row change mentioned is setting deletion indicator

Service entry problem when not accepted

We have a problem when there are multiple service entries agains a PO. There are no problems when we do the first entry and accept. The problem happens when we do a second entry and the end user only saves and forgets to accept the SES. When they do an invoice against this unaccepted SES the system brings in the previous SES number, when this goes unnoticed the vendor gets paid twice for the same thing. Is there a way for SAP to look at the SES field in the invoice and determine that this SES number has already been paid? Thanks in advance.

Hi Eric,
please try the following: check in transaction XK02 the field "Check Flag for Double Invoices or Credit Memos" (LFB1-REPRF).
Indicator which means that incoming invoices and credit memos are checked for double entries at the time of entry.
In checking for duplicate invoices, the system compares the following characteristics by default:
Vendor
Currency
Company code
Gross amount of the invoice
Reference document number
Invoice document date
If all of these characteristics are the same, the system issues a message that you can customize.
The system only checks for duplicate invoices in Materials Management if you enter the reference document number upon entering the invoice.
Of course if the invoice document date is different, there is no message M8108 issued. Please read also the notes 305201 and 308008.
I would recommend you to use the service based invoice verification function (set the field EKPO-LEBRE to X) in the PO item.

How to update sales order number (KAUFN) characteristic in the profitability segment of the PA document created at the time of service entry sheet confirmation, as a result of shipment cost document

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein we create shipment cost documents against delivery. As a result of shipments fully transferred, a PO for freight vendor is automatically created and a service entry sheet confirmation happens. As a result of service entry sheet confirmation, we have Financial accounting, Controlling and profitability analysis documents created. We have a requirement wherein we need to have the characteristic “sales order number (KAUFN)” populated in the profitability analysis document created as a result of service entry sheet confirmation.
Could someone please advice how could this be attained in COPA. Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Ajay,
Thank you for the quick update.
The document is updated to COPA through OKB9 settings. The profitability segment is updated with fields like customer, product, company code, plant, sales area data, profit center, etc; however the sales order number is missing.
Could you please elaborate further how could FI substitution be implemented to call for the FM COPA_PROFITABILITY_SEGMENT through user exit? Are you recommending the substitution through GGB1? What could be the possible validation to call for the user exit to be implemented?
Regards,
Sandeep Kulkarni

Changing GR/IR clearing account in Service Entry Sheet process

Hi,
We are using one Gr/ir clearing account for both Material and Service Entry sheet process.
Now for clear process we want to create new account for the Service entry sheet.
We have given blank valuation class for Service entry sheet and it has been assigned to the g/l account.
After analysing the scenario we had two options.1. Whether we can change the valuation class
or 2. we can create new G/l account.
But i had a doubt will it impact anywhere if i change the valuation class.
Can anybody advice me??
Thanks n regards,
Veena

Dear Javeed and Sadhashivan,
Thanks for your answers. Yes we have sort key set on both the accounts and also we have tried to display all the PO relevent fields but unable get through.
Please note we need PO no line wise on the ledger of adjustment accounts NOT on the GR/IR account.
1) Goods Delivered but not yet invoiced
2) Goods Invoiced but not yet Delivered
Hope I have made my point clear.
Thanks
Ayaz
