Settlement and CO Postings

I have a question.... If we do periodic settlement from one cost object(WBS) to another (Cost Center), would it create any FI postings to the respective cost elements?

Bhadresh,
Thank for your reply. I was going through the SAP Online documentation and found this information about Settlements. Thought you might also find it interesting.
"In addition to the settlement document, the system creates an accounting document for the financial accounting part of the settlement. It also creates a controlling document for the cost accounting part".
It is really confusing whether an FI document should be created or not. The G/L is checked as a receiver. But I am wondering if that is causing the creation of FI document why FI document is having postings for only one cost element while not for the other cost element.
Any thoughts.....??

WBS Settlement and FI Postings

Hi All,
Need your input on this.
We are doing settlement of costs from WBS to cost center. Let us two cost elements are carrying the costs for the same project. At the time of settlement, an accounting document is being created, but only for one cost element- debiting and crediting the carrier cost element in FI.But for the other cost element there is not posting done in the FI.
Here is my questions regarding this issue:
Should the accounting document be created at all?
If not then what might be causing the creation of FI postings for one cost element while no postings for the other?
If it should be created what might be causing the creation of FI postings for one cost element while not for the other? What doc type it should be?
If FI doc should or shouldn't be created, does it apply to both classic GL and New GL. BTY, we are on new GL.
Has it anything to do with the type of CE?

Thanks for your comments.
I have checked the allocation structure and could not find anything missing in the config. We are not using source structure. For both the cost elements, the WBS is credited and cost center debited in the CO document. The FI document only contains postings for one cost element. One more thing, the FI document does not have WBS number populated for the credit line item while debit line item is populating the cost ctr. Should the credit line item be populated with the WBS number in the WBS # field? What doc type the FI document should be?

Difference between cleared items,open items and all postings (FI).

Hi experts,
Can anybody tell me the difference between cleared items,open items and all postings for an account.
While running corresponding bapis and transaction FAGLL03 (for GL) or FBL1N (for accounts payable) i found that in some cases all postings is less than cleared items or open items for a time period. How could it happen.According to my knowledge all postings should contain cleared items and open items.
Please correct me..
Thanks and Regards
Arjun

Hi Arjun,
For every Billing Documnet created(VBRK/VBRP-VBELN) there will be an accounting document created in BSID/BSAD tables.
OPEN ITEMS means the Billed/Invoice Amounts that are pending from Customers, i.e which we have to receive from Customers.
CLOSED ITEMS means the AMOUNTS received from that customer.
OPEN ITEMS : fetch data from BSID table Only
CLOSED ITEMS : fetch data from BSAD only.
ALL POSTINGS : fetch data from both BSID and BSAD.
Hope this will help.

Nitin.

What is the diffrence between External postings and Internal postings in CO

Dear all,
Can brief me anyone about the Externa postings and Internal postings in CO,
I suspected all postings from outside or interface postings is External postings and all FI postings is internal postings, Is it true or not still i am suspecting, anyone pls clarify the doubt.
Thanks
Raghu
Moderator: This forum is not dedicated for basic questions. Please, read SAP material before posting

Hi,
All postings which are originated from other than CO module ( i.e from interface, FI etc ), are called External postings in CO.
Whereas internal postings means posting which happen within CO module, example Assessment, Distribution etc within a company code.

Reversing Payroll Results and FI Postings

Hi,
After payroll and FI postings are complete, I need to reverse payroll results for one employee.
If I just reverse payroll results, will that also reverse FI postings for that employee, or do I need to manually reverse FI postings for that employee first and then reverse payroll results ?
I am worried that if I first reverse FI postings, then it might reverse for all employees. I need to carry out reversal only for one employee.
Any clarification to my question will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
Reversal of posting for individual employees is not possible. For more information:

Colective Settlement and "CLSD"Status for Production and Maintenance Orders

Hi dear experts,
Is that possible to use transaction KO8G for collective settlement of Production Orders? Apparently it only works for Maintenance Orders.
The same applies for transaction CO99 for getting "Closed" status in Orders. Apparently it does not take the Production Orders, even if the selection "With CO Production Orders" is active. Is there any additional configuration we should do?!
We would like to do settlement (and mass set "Close" status after) for Production and Maintenance Orders at the same time.
Thanks in advance,
Lígia Moreira

Hi,
You can use CO88 for settlement of production orders. Normally, CO99 should take production orders if the flag is switched. Do you receive any error when you do it?

Eli

Varaince settlement and costing sheet in REM and Production order

for REM, repetetive manufacturing, what's the difference between REM and production order in terms of variance settlement and settlement profile design? what's the difference between process order and production order in terms of variance settlement and settlement profile design?
for actual overhead(fixed and variable), can it be calculated automatically by costing sheet? user is very angry to input actual overhead by jounal entry. also how about plan scrap, how to define it in configuration? besides order confirmation, where can I input actual scrap?

For variances, there is no difference between the 3 diferrent orders. The settlement profile can also be the same. The real difference from a CO perspective concerns the calculation of WIP and the settlement rule. Process orders and production orders normally use a full settlement rule (though periodic settlement is also possible) and WIP is calculated based on actual cost. Repetitive orders only use periodic settlement and WIP is valued at target cost.
From an overhead perspective, there is no difference between the 3 types of orders. Overhead sheets are assigned through the costing variant and costs are applied through period-end process.
Plan scrap is maintained in master data, either in material master, routing (receipe for process orders), or bill of material. Acttual scrap usually happens based on the quantity of components issued to the order during confirmation or by the amount of scrap reported during confirmation. If you are backflushing components, as you normally would do for repetitive, then you can adjusted the consumed quantities by doing an additional goods issue to the order (movement type 261).
thanks,

Delete Expense Reports after Settlement and Transferred to FI

Hi Gurus
Please let me know how to delete the Expense Reports which are in status "Trip Approved" and "Transferred to FI" ?
We have created many Expense Reports in the copy of Production for testing various scenarios. When we execute the Payroll Run, we do not want all the unwanted Expense Reports (which are Settled and Transferred to FI) to be picked up in the Payroll Run. In a way, we want to clean up the unwanted Expense Reports, although they have been posted to FI.
Also, please let me know the following :
In Production, under what conditions, we can/should delete the EXpense Reports which have the status of "Trip Approved" and "Transferred to FI" ?
I know that we can use T.Code : PRRL (Reset the Accounting Status), but kindly explain what exactly this T.Code does.
Thanks in advance.

Statistical and Target postings

Hi,
Can you pl tell me what is Statistical and Target postings in detail and how to identify it.
Appreciate on your immediate help.
Regards,
Rinny

Thanks a lot again for the reply.
I explain the reason why I asked this question.
1. We have a GL account/cost element which have functional area assigned
2. We are posting this primary cost element to a profitability segment.
3. We want to see this expense in more one funtional area.
I guess we should not assign a functional area to this GL account if we want to see this expense in more than one FA in P&L statement.
What we thought was to make cost center mandory and GL account (without FA) is posted to cost centers (with different functional areas and profitability segment. So profitability segment will receive real posting and cost center will receive statistical posting. Cost centers are assigned to differential functional area so now we can see this expense in more than one functional area in P&L reporting.
Can we just post only Profitability segment and still acomplish what we want (seeing this expense in more than one FA in P&L statement)?
Is this a good approach or do you suggest any better solution.

Percentage rate settlement and amount settlement

What is the difference between percentage rate settlement and amount settlement and how does this impact settling orders?

Order cost will be settled to some settlement receivers.
1. If you maintain Percentage, based on the percentage entry, cost will be distributed among different receivers.
2. If you maintain Amount, directly amount can be entered & will be settled.
For example, order cost is 1000 & settlement receivers are 4 different cost centers. We have cost center as CC1, CC2, CC3 & CC4.
Settlement % for each cost center as follows:
CC1 -> 20%
CC2 -> 10%
CC3 -> 35%
CC4 -> 35%
Then cost will be calculated accordingly, settlement will happen.
Also you can enter amount against each cost center.

What is source to settle and source to pay?

Hi dudes
What is source to settle and source to pay.Please let me know process flow if possible.
Regards
Chinna Krishna

HI,
Source to pay is basically automat and synchronize your procurement and payment process.
Source to pay system like SRM provides strategic value through sustainable cost savings, contract compliance, and quick time-to-value. Companies are equipped with tools to drive superior results through an end-to-end source-to-pay process. Activities such as spend analysis, category management, requisitioning, sourcing, operational contracts, invoicing, and supplier management are part of an integrated platform.
this can connect you to your entire supply base-allowing multiple levels of suppliers, partners, and manufacturers to work together, while you reduce the cost of goods sold throughout the company.
this process integrates supplier qualification, negotiation, and contract management more tightly and cost-effectively with other enterprise functions and their suppliersu2019 processes u2013 through a single framework with support for multichannel suppliers.
So in NutShell you can say that this basically reduce the cost and time of the procurement process.
which basically reduce the workload of the purchasing and finance department.

Settlement and posting

we have 12 transactions need to collectively settlement and collectively posting, can FTR_00 be used in collectively posting, how to? or we have to use FTR_00 for collectively settlement and TBB1 for collectively posting?
in FTR_00 I select 12 transactions one by one, I choose the fourth last button in the toolbar, then choose change, how can I navigate to the next transaction after I change the first transaction,? can anyone paste the screen, thanks

Hi Robin,
the Collective processing transaction FTR_00 is not intended to be used for posting, so you need to use TBB1 for posting.
in order to return back to the Collective processing transaction, you simply need to click on the green icon 'Back' (see a screenshot below) after you have done all required changes in an individual transaction.
Kind regards,
Renatas

Consignment settlement and a vendor paper invoice

All,
Is anyone aware of a SAP solution that allows a supplier to send an invoice for consignment materials?
If there is no known SAP standard solution, has anyone developed a customized process that would integrate the two?
Regards,
Sandra

You do not expect an invoice from the vendor for goods withdrawals from consignment stocks or a pipeline. Instead you settle posted withdrawals and return deliveries yourself and send the vendor a statement of the settlement. You can perform this settlement periodically in the background. The following documents can be involved:
Invoices
Credit memos
Consignment settlement is connected to message determination. As a result, you can define a form in Customizing. A message record is created during each settlement. This message record completes the form. Depending on the system settings, you can send this form to the vendor immediately on posting or at a later time.
If you want to change document header data for consignment settlements, use the Business Add-In MRM_MRKO_HDAT_MODIFY. For more information, see the documentation for the Business Add-In.
Canceling Consignment Documents
Cancel the documents in Inventory Management and start consignment settlement. The system generates a credit memo for the returned document. If the consignment prices have changed since the original goods receipt, post the credit memo in Financial Accounting. Clear the invoice and the credit memo in Financial Accounting.
Constraints
Consignment and pipeline settlement is not connected to the purchasing information system, because the purchase order history is not updated during consignment settlements.
You cannot make any net postings during consignment settlement. This means that you cannot calculate any cash discounts. To take cash discounts into account, you must include these in the consignment price. This ensures that the cash discount is implicitly posted during the goods withdrawal and settlement.
You cannot settle delivery costs.
To process consignment and pipeline withdrawals, choose Logistics Invoice Verification ® Automatic Settlement ® Consignment and Pipeline Settlement.
The selection screen Settle Consignment/Pipeline Withdrawals appears.
Narrow down the selection by:
Company code
Vendor
Plant
Material
Document date
Posting date
Material document
In the Selection frame, select the withdrawals that you want to take into account during processing.
Only consignment materials
Only pipeline materials
Consignment and pipeline materials
In the Processing frame, you can select whether you want to process withdrawals or return deliveries:

Rebate settlement and VAT

Hi Gurus,
I am implementing retrospective rebates in SD.
I have produced a rebate settlement document (in Poland (where I am working) that document is a corrective invoice request). With the billing document that I will produce from that request I need to post VAT in addition to the usual postings that SAP performs in rebate agreement settlements (that is: accruals reverse, client account profit correction and posting of rebate ammount).
That means that I need somehow to include MWST like price conditions in the settlement documents.
Unfortunatelly it seems that SAP does not allow including any new conditions in the pricing of those settlement documents. No new conditions can be added to the corrective invoice request.
Is there any way to add price conditions to a rebate settlement document ?
Or is it a SAP constraint that nothing else can be changed there in order to not to mess with the normal rebate settlement ?
I have a program that calculates the right VAT ammounts I have to post. If only I could include it somehow in the settlement doc. that would solve the problem...
Thank you in advance for any advice

Hello,
Can you tell which Rebate Type are you using and which Sales Document type this rebate type generates?
Thanks
Fátima
