Setup accruals for Purchasing

Hello All,
I have a couple of questions about accruals, our Apps. version is 11.0.2, we have set our Accrue Inventory Items set to On Reciept. We would like to set the Accrue Expense Items to On Receipt also. I have done some research on the issue, but I still have some questions?
1) Currently, in our system the Accrue Expense Item is set to On Receipt. An accrual
expense account has been assigned. To date, to start accruing on our PO's, is the
only step left is to run the GL Import?
2) Since this will be the first time we will be accruing on our PO's, how will this affect
our system?
2) I also read, that it is not a good idea to have both options set to On Receipt? Why? I
have not been able to find much info. on the subject and we must set them up this way.
3) I have also read that there is no intergration between PO and PA, therefore the accruals
can not be recognized in PA. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the info.
into PA?
Any infornmation that you could provide would be great.
Thank you,
Karen

Karen,
WE use accrue on receipt for expenses and noticed the following issues:
1. Accounting incorrect for Invoice price variances (it used the accrual account and not the expense account)
2. Accounting incorrect for Exchange gain and losses between PO Rateand Invoice Rate (same incorrect accounting as uncer 1)
3. On receipts it created at some stage incorrect accounting for non recoverable VAT (this should only affect Europe)
4. You can not do two way matching any more as you would never take the expense as the receipt is not required for two way matching and is required for accounting.
Issue 1,2 and 3 should be resolved if you go to the latest patchset (J), but Issue 4 remains an issue that we have dealt with by not allowing two way matching.
Please also bear in mind that Oracle's accrual write off process will have to be performed for receipts that are not to be invoiced and if you already have performed this process you might know that this process is really labour intensive and accident prone.
It works well if you take the correct business decission and understand the complications, but I would strongly advice you to review the need.

  • Problem with populating setup tables for purchasing

    I'm working on NW2004s.
    Problem: Setup tables are not getting populated for 2lis_02_hdr, 2lis_02_item..
    what all i've done so far:
    1. Activated Data Sources in RSA5.
    2. In LO Data Extraction, all the extract structure are active. (btw in job control i'm not sure what it does, i did make job parameter start date immediate, didnt set the print parms, schedule job gives an error.. anything here i may be messing it up?)
    3. In SBIW initialization Deleted the contents of setup table and executed the 'Purchasing - perform setup'.
    4. In NPRT i can see the log, the name of the source table EKKO, duration of run is 0.0 and no of docs 130.
    5. In RSA3 for 2lis_02_hdr extraction process 0 records.
    6. I look at SE11 for 'MC02M_0HDRSETUP' and table contents gives 0 records.
    Any help is appreciated what i'm missing why the setup tables are not populating. I went thru the forum and did what was said but no sucess yet. I'm not an expert in SAP BW just been working for a year so pl dont be cryptic, explain u'r answers. Thanks for your time
    Mayil

    Hi,
    All the active datasources will be available in RSA6, after that go to LBWE ,maintain Ex Stru, Maintain DS and make that active, then we go for statistical setup
    have you done these things?
    Did you put any filters while filling up the setup tables?
    what is the transaction you used for Setup.
    cheers

    Hi,
    In SAP, there is a functionality to take care of the planned and unplanned delivery costs.
    Planned costs:
    If freight and customs duty costs on purchase can be planned or known ahead of time, these are entered as planned costs on the Purchase Order.
    In Automatic Account Determination for movements of inventory (OBYC), there are transaction keys FR2(Freight provisions) and FR4(Custom provisions) are available. If a condition type,in pricing is marked as provision-relevant, then the accounts maintanined under transaction keys FR2 and FR4 are used to generate provisional entries.
    In addition to freight and customs duty, there may be additional types of delivery costs on a purchase order, you can create provision for other delivery costs using RUE transaction key.
    Unplanned Costs:
    The transaction key UPF is supporting in to post unplanned delivery costs in purchasing.
    I think that I have elaborately discussed, more than what you want. Trust it helps! If not, revert back.
    Cheers!

  • Streamclip/easy setup settings for purchased clips

    I have some purchased clips that I would like to edit in FCE. The settings from the QT inspector are:
    Format: photo JPEG, 1920 x 1080, millions
    FPS: 30
    Data Size: 321.4 MB
    Data Rate: 171.37 Mbit/s
    Current Size: 478 x 269 pixels
    If I convert in streamclip to QT for editing in FCE, which compression should I used, and what other settings should I use?
    Also, which easy setup in FCE would be correct?
    I will eventually be exporting this to QT so that I can run the video through a mac to a projector.
    Bob

    What version of FCE are you using?
    Is there any other media, or just the stock footage?
    Most likely you want to convert to QuickTime using the Apple Intermediate Codec at 1920x1080 at 29.97fps.

  • HT204053 I have two iphones with different numbers that I use my apple ID for purchases, etc.  How do I get my second iphone setup on icloud?  I would like to use the features of icloud for both of my iphones.  Thank you

    I have two iphones with different phone numbers that I use.  I have one of them set up on icloud now, but do not know how to set up my second device on icloud.  Both of my iphones use my same Apple ID for purchases, etc.  Is there a simple way to add a device to my icloud account?  Thank you in advance for any help someone may be able to give me.

    To move one of the phones to a different iCloud account (if that's what you want to do), go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data to Off.  When prompted, choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  After everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  This will delete the account from the phone but not from iCloud so the other phone will not be effected.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn iCloud syncing in Settings>iCloud back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new iCloud account.
    You will then have to go to icloud.com and sign into each iCloud account separately and delete any unwanted data that you don't want on the phone syncing with each account.

  • Problem while filling the Setup Table for the DS 2LIS_02_SCL.

    Hi All,
    When I am trying to fill the Setup table for the DataSource 2LIS_02_SCL and only for one specific Purchase Order, it is showing me a message like
    u201CDataSource 2LIS_02_ITM contains data still to be transferredu201D
    I have deleted the Setup Table and I want to delete the entries from SM13, but I do not have Authorization.
    Also, here I am trying to fill the Setup Table for 2LIS_02_SCL and not for 2LIS_02_ITM, but the message displayed above is showing as 2LIS_02_ITM DataSource. I think the Setup Table will be same for both the DataSources.
    Waiting for your valuable inputs.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    When you want to fill the setup tables first you need to delete setup tables to avoid the duplicate entires in setup tables ( you can delete the setup tables by using t.code LBWG with application no is 02)
    In your case, the data souce is 2LIS_02_SCL for purchasing.
    when you want to delete the setup tables by using t.code LBWG with 02 application no it will delete all the purchasing related data from all the data sources like
    2LIS_02_SCL
    2LIS_02_ITM
    Before the deletion of setup tables you need to clear the delta Queues and stop the V3 jobs, which loads the data to Delta Queues (RSA7) and Update tables(LBWQ).
    you need to run the V3  jobs manually by using LBWE > Job control > and schedule the jobs until the delta queues will get 0 records. that means no data will be available in RSA7 and LBWQ
    go to SM37 to see the jobs LIS-BW-VB_APPLICATION_02,
    once the delta queues gets 0 records by running V3 Jobs manullay.
    Then remove the released state jobs > remove from schedule means delete the jobs in LBWE > Go to job control > you can delete the released jobs.
    Becuase No postings to be done in application tables, while running setuptable filling you should take some down time to fill the setup tables.( OLI*BW)  *=Application number.
    Once you clear the Queues and delete the v3 jobs, then you need to fill the setup tables after deletion of setup tables.
    once you fill the setup tables , by running intialization to BW side the delta Queue is formed for the data source in R3 side
    Now the postings can be done in R3 side, so you need schedule back the V3 jobs, which you already delted from LBWE to load the data from application tables to RSA7 or LBWQ.
    I hope this may help yoou.
    Regards.

    My guess, is that this material is not really maintained in the Plant '1001', to be on the safer side, get the exact values from EKPO itself, also check if this material exists in the table MARC for the plant and storage location.
    MOVE '1001' TO gm_item-plant.   "<< Hard coded
    MOVE '' TO gm_item-stge_loc.
    Replace the above hardcodes to something like this to get the actual value from EKPO.
    select werks lgort into (gm_item-plant, gm_item-stge_loc) from ekpo
       where ebeln = gm_item-po_number
            and ebelp = gm_item-po_item.

  • Trying to get EDI Invoices working for purchasing

    I am trying to setup inbound Invoice processing using an INVOIC01 IDOC, Process Code INVL.
    As far as I can tell from my searches on the internet and from other sources, I have a syntactically correct IDOC and all of my config is correct, however I get the following message in workflow when I try and load the IDOC:
    Item 00010 for purchasing document 4500321129 not selectable
    I am a novice to the MM side of things, and am not sure exactly what this line means. I am testing against asingle line order. Using WE19, I see the following:
    On the E1EDP01
    Document item        00010     
    Action                         
    Item Category        0         
    Order ackn.req.

    Also, I just want to verify that I am correct in one assumption that I am making. I am assuming that I can bring in a INVOIC01 as a parked invoice against an Purchase Order which has not had the goods receipt. Is this correct?
    Thanks, Rick

    Richard,
    For your line item issue, check the PO/line item to confirm the line item has not been deleted.   If it is an active line item the other thing I would check would be the price (confirm it exists on the pricing conditions) .
    During the EDI invoice posting process if the PO/line item is set as GR based-IV the idoc will fail if no GR has been made.   Once the GR has been done, the idoc can be reprocessed manually via BD87 or via a scheduled job.

  • AME for Purchase Requisitions

    Hello All
    I am in the process of setting up AME in R12.1.2 for purchase requisitions and got struck with an issue
    My requirement is to route the requisition to a particular job based on the item category and the requisition total. I setup conditions, action types and approval groups and then the rule.
    When I used static in my Approval Group setup it works fine with out issues however we do not want to use static as employees keep changing and want my approval driven out of the job hence updated the approval group to use Dynamic usage type and used the below query to pick the name of the employee based on the job.
    select papf.full_name from per_all_assignments_f paaf, per_all_people_f papf, per_jobs pej where
    paaf.person_id = papf.person_id
    and sysdate between paaf.effective_start_date and paaf.effective_end_date
    and paaf.job_id = pej.job_id
    and pej.name like 'IT.Group IT Operations Manager.Staff'
    Now when trying to create a requisition it shows up a message that "Approval List could not be generated. Please contact your System Administrator to review AME rules setup."
    When validated the above query it says query is valid but still not working. I even tried with person_id but still no luck
    Thanks a ton in advance

  • Lead time for Purchase items

    I had read that Lead time for Purchased items is calculated per 7 working days / week, by default. However, when I checked this, I found that the MRP planned orders were always considering our mfg calendar that has 5 working days / week.
    Anyone tried this.

    Industries & Product which have stabilsed have the same measuring yard and standards. This is also applicable for calendar working days, otherwise we need to device the 'interface' because the results would be weird, specifically when we speak of 'supply chain'.

  • Budget Approver for Purchase Requisition

    Hi,
    In MM setup for purchase requisition, 4 levels has been setup for approving based on amount. The person who will approve is configured to be determined based on user exit (value - 9) in TCode OMGQ.
    My question here is where is this user exit and how can we know to whom this PR will actually reach for approval.
    Please help me out.

  • What is the best strategy for purchasing at the refurbished store?

    I am hoping to buy my next Apple through the refurbished store and wonder if anyone can share their experience in terms of finding the exact configuration you are looking for.  Today I browsed the store and found the perfect setup.  Apparently I did not click 'add to cart' quickly enough, and the Mac I wanted was gone.  I assume the stock is updated daily? or maybe new items are added once they are released for purchase from Apple? 
    I have no intention of compromising on the specs I want, can anyone help me strategize on how to increase my odds of finding the new refurb Mac I am looking for?

    There really is no strategy. Items put in the Refurb Store come in all shapes and sizes but not by any particular order. If you want a particular configuration then all  you can do is check regularly to see if one appears. Or you can select some other configuration that you can upgrade yourself.
    As for buying refurbs in general, I have several of them all of which have been running perfectly since purchase. Were I to buy a new computer I would probably buy it refurbished to save money.

  • MRP setting for Purchase (Planned Order ) Requirement date

    Dear Sir,
    During the MRP run , we desire that the genertaed Planned Orders for the Purchase related items , should have requirement date as either the current date or the current date plus procurement lead time defined in the Material Master against the item .
    To achive the abobe requirement , we request you to pl guide us as what setting / parameters are required to be set in the MRP setup .  Or if there is some other alternate approach , pl suggest the same .
    With Thanks and Rgds

    Dear
    Generally , during MRP run , system will genarted Planned order for Purcahsed item if it is opening period .
    The opening period for the planned order represents the number of workdays that are subtracted from the order start date in order to determine the order opening date. This period serves as a time float, which is available for the MRP controller when converting a planned order into a purchase requisition.
    You define the opening period for the planned order in Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity Define floats (scheduling margin key) and assign it to the material in the Scheduling margin key field (MRP 2 view) in the material master
    Now if you want to have Planned order for purchased item with requirement date as current date , then maintain Demand date like Sales Order requirement date as curent date in VA01 or PIR date as current date.
    Where as MRP will consider the Planned Order based on planned opening date , lead time , GR processing time from MRP2 view .So for current date requirement , u should keep Lead time and GR processing time as 0.
