Special G/L transactions are special transactions in accounts receivable and accounts payable that are displayed separately in the general ledger and the subledger. This may be necessary for reporting or for internal reasons. For example, down payments must not be balanced with receivables and payables for goods and services. Consequently, they are treated as special G/L transactions in the General Ledger (FI-GL) Accounts Payable (FI-AP) and Accounts Receivable (FI-AR) application components.
Special G/L transactions are already available in the standard system. However, one can change the specifications or define your own special G/L transactions.
Special G/L transactions are special transactions in accounts receivable and accounts payable that are displayed separately in the general ledger and the subledger. This is achieved by posting to alternative reconciliation accounts, instead of posting to the reconciliation accounts for receivables and payables
The following special G/L transactions are available:
Down payments and down payment requests
Bills of exchange receivable, bills of exchange payable and checks/bills of exchange
Bank bills
Payment requests
Guarantees
Reserves for bad debt
Security deposits
These special procedures are displayed separately from other receivables and payables on the balance sheet either for legal reasons, such as with down payments, or for control reasons, such as with guarantees received. A separate special G/L account is created for each special G/L transaction. As a result, it is possible to display each transaction in the balance sheet without having to carry out any transfer postings and to receive an overview via the account limited to this procedure only
In the SAP System, distinctions are made between different types of special G/L transaction. These distinctions are made according to business-related and technical factors.
On the business side, a distinction is made between:
·        Bills of exchange
·        Down payments
·        Miscellaneous special G/L transactions, such as guarantees
On the technical side, a distinction is made between:
·        Postings with a freely-definable offsetting entry. These include down payment and bill of exchange postings.
·        Postings with a preset offsetting entry. These transactions are called statistical postings.
·        Postings without an offsetting entry. These procedures are called noted items.
To post special G/L transactions you require special posting keys, which are supplemented by a special G/L indicator.
The posting key defines whether it is a debit or credit posting, and which account type (customer or vendor) is posted. The posting keys for special G/L transactions must be indicated as such. In the standard system, the following posting keys are used for special G/L transactions:
Posting Keys for Special G/L Transactions
Posting key
Description
Usage (example)
09
Outgoing debit posting
Payment of bill receivable
19
Outgoing credit posting
Down payment received
29
Incoming debit posting
Down payment made
39
Incoming credit posting
Payment of bill payable
Special G/L transactions are identified by a special G/L indicator
Pls assign points of the information is useful to you

BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN not Updating Special stock indicator field

Hi Experts
I am using BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to create and then update a Customer Service Order. When am trying to update the Special stock indicator field in the Components Tab(of IW32) through BAPI, its not doing so, and no error is thrown as well.
The required qty and the batch field in the components tab get updated which ensures that the logic am using is the correct one.
Please let me know if anyone has faced such a situation before. Any workaround(some other FM) to update this field is also welcome.
Points guaranteed.
Thanks
Kulpreet Singh.

Hi!
BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN is only updating a field, when you set the update flag also in CHANGE method.
So if you are maintainig the IT_COMPONENT table, you have to put an 'X' into the same field in the IT_COMPONENT_UP table also.
And of course don't forget to commit the modification.

Table for special G/L indicator and withholding tax?

Hi experts,
Iu2019m trying to post a vendor invoice on F-02. When I use vendor invoice posting key the system brings withholding tax automatically but when I use special G/L indicator (incoming credit posting ) withholding tax is not coming.
Is there any connection between posting key and withholding tax or special G/L indicator? Where should I correct this error?
Thanks by now
Edited by: Hande Yaman on May 31, 2011 5:01 PM

Dear,
You can check out relationship between posting key and wht by checking Field status group of posting key in OB41. Now comming to the problem with your special GL indicator with no WHT posting, you need to check FSG of Special Gl indictator in OBYR and special GL in OBC4. Look if its suppressed there.

Change component level special stock indicator for Purchase Ord-through CIF

Hai,
my requirement is to change the the spoecial stock indicator at the component level for the PO .
The purchase reqqusition is available in APO system.At the time converiosn to PO, the PO will get created in R/3 through CIF.
When the Purchase Order is getting saved in R/3 then I need to check the component level Special stock indicator(SOBKZ) & I need change its value.
I am currently using the user exit 'EXIT_SAPLCPUR_001' to change the same.in this user exit, I am changing the component level SOBKZ in the table IT_INPUT & I am also setting X in IT_INPUTX table.
But the changes are not reflecting in the newly created PO.It always shows the value 'E' for SOBKZ.
can any one tell me is this the right user exit to change the above value? if yes please expalin me in rdetail on how to change this.
Thanks,
Bhaskar.

Hai Saurabh,
I have tried changing the CP_POSITION-SOBKZ field in the user exit EXIT_SAPLMEPI_006.This one changes the SOBKZ of the item of PO i.e, the change reflects in EKPO table.
What I am looking for is to change the Component level SOBKZ of the ITEM of the PO.The change reflects in RESB-sobkz table.
I think, In the User exit EXIT_SAPLCPUR_001, the field IT_INPUT-SP_STK_IND is meant for this.But this is not working.
Please inform me how the RESB-SOBKZ can be changed?
Thanks,
Bhaskar

Down Payment Request - Special G/L Indicator F

Dear all,
While posting Vendor Down Payment Request (tcode: F-47), I encountered the following error message:
Special G/L indicator F is not defined for down payments
Message no. F5053
Diagnosis
The specified special G/L indicator is not classified as "down payment" or not listed in the list of the target special G/L indicators for indicator "F".
I have performed the following configuration for Special GL indicator F:
Tcode: OBYR or FBKP
Account type = K, Special G/L Indicator = F. I have set the recon account from vendor master into the list of the account, also the Planning Level = FF.
I click on the Properties button, and following is the setup of the Properties:
Noted Items  select this check box.
Target Special GL Indicator: AF
Special G/L Transaction Types: select Down Payment/Down Payment Request.
Can you please kindly share how to solve this issue? Thank you very much in advance.
Kind Rgds,
Dahlia

Hi Dahlia,
There are 2-3 things that you have to take care while posting Down Payment request.
1. Define F as Down Payment request ( this is std. provided by SAP)
2. Check box Noted items.
3. In target Spl GL, enter A..this is very important as this is the place where you are linking F to A
4. In spl GL transaction types, select the radio button Down payment/Down Payment Request.
5. Now in Spl GL A, take care that In spl GL transaction types, the radio button Down payment/Down Payment Request is selected.

In the SAP system, you can only use "Target special G/L indicators" with "Down payment/down payment request" when "Noted item" is also selected at the same time. These requirements are not fulfilled in the special G/L indicator "H".

Delete the specified target special G/L indicator.

You can define when this system message is to be issued in accordance with your requirements.
You do this in Customizing as follows: Cross-Application Components -> Bank Directory -> Change Message Control.

F-30: posting with clearing a document with special G/L indicator and tax

Hi All,
by t.code F-02 I've posted a document with the follow items:
PK     SG      Account Description
40                Bank G/L Account   u20AC 1200,00
19      A       Customer code         u20AC 1000,00- (1000,00 amount and 200,00 tax amount)
50                Tax G/L Account     u20AC 200,00-
If I launch the t.code F-30 (post with clearing), choose that customer and select the special G/L indicator "A", SAP displays
the document I've posted with an amount equal to 1.200,00- instead of 1000,00.
This does't allow me to clear the open Item....
Could anyone hel me?
Thanks
Gandalf

Hi
A   payment recorded with   special GL indicator is automatically set as locked. This is sap program and cant be changed. When the related invoice is recorded , the   down payment can be cleared with it using F-39, provided the down payment relates to the same sales / purchase order.
For the difference in customer amount, its difficult to answer as    it may be due to wrong account selection or wrong amount entered in customer.
Thanks

Add New value to the special reference indicator on the TO field

Can you please tell me how to add a new value to the special reference indicator dropdown which is on the transfer order.
LTAK->SPEZI ? Currently it is displaying values A & B in the drop down and want to add a new value to the indicator.
Thanks
John

Hi,
I dont think you will be able to add more values to this field from configuration.
If you check the data element and domain associated with this field (LTAK_SPEZI) in SE11. You can see that the value range for the domain has been defined there as A and B only.
So if you want to add a new value you can ask and ABAP/technical consulatnt to add new values to this Domain.
However i am not sure it will be useful (unless you have a specific requirement and want to modify the standard programs) as the field is checked in different program (eg in inculde LL03AF4V , LL03AF7F ) against these fixed values A and B.

Special stock indicator for component in process order

Hi,
There is a field in process order where we can maintain special stock indicator for component.
In this filed if we define consignment stock, then the vendor field becomes activated, where the vendor can be given.
Now we want to maintain the data as a master data so that whenever process order is created the sp stock indicator as well as vendor are populated for that particular component.
Q - where to define this master data. I could not see such fields in BOM?
regards,
Mohit

Hi Sunderesan,
Thaks for responding. Even by doing this system does not propose special stock indicator as '3' in process order & even vendor is not proposed.
My requirement is that system should propose '3' in special stock indicator in process order.
Request to look into this.
regards,
Mohit

Down payment request and special GL indicator

Hi SAP Experts,
From several days I'm looking for an explanation of standard down payment process in SAP:
When we create down payment request for customer, billing type FAZ, corresponding FI document is created with special GL indicator "F".
Does somebody know what is the configuration for that? How the system determines that for FAZ billing type it should create special GL indicator "F"?
Thanks and appreciate any suggestions.

Dear Marin Please check in Google
Does somebody know what is the configuration for that?

Dispute case are only possible with GL accounts and Special GL indicators arent support ?.
Does exists alternative solution?

Whenver invoce raised then the Spl gl balence is transferd aginst such invoice to normal a/c.
In Bills of Exchange when the bill is honoured then it clears the bank liability.
Assign points if usefull.

Travel advances followed up by special g/l indicator - activating HRV

Hi all experts!
I'm on an assignment where the customer wants to change the procces of travel expense advances. Today, the advance is debited on a short term asset account and credit the vendor account. The advance is paid out to the employee and the payment is debited the vendor account. The actual trip expenses is debited a cost account and credit the vendor account. If the trip expenses is lower than the travel expense advance, there will be a debet post on the vendor balance. This way of handling the surplus of cash advance makes it more difficult to analyze and settle the surplus of the employee.
The customer wants to follow up the cash advance by special g/l indicator. I have search for how to make this field available in the tables of Travel management where You define the assigment to symbolic accounts in Travel management to accounts in Financial accounting.
There is a procedure called HRV trip costs posting Advances which would enable this.
How do You activate this procedure in the IMG?
Best regards
Eva

Hi,
The procedure HRV is not suppported by SAP anymore. It was supported up to release 4.6C but removed as it was invcorrect. There is a modification however.

Hi Raynard!
Many thanks for Your reply!.
As I understand from the linked information, standard SAP does not include the use of special g/l indicators regarding cash advance in Travel Expenses/travel Management. The procedure HRV is not anymore valid for this purpose. Right?
The feature TRVCT, is that a BADI?
