Special GL indicators
Hello Experts
I am writing to find out if somebody can help me with the default settings of the Special G indicators in my system. I have a feeling that some of the special GL codes are not correct and hence this request. e.g. For Cash Calls, SEI J, K and L are used for Account type D, but they seem to be different in my system. Please take a look at the screen shots of ALLthe SEI codes in my system for Account Type D and K. Please let me know what is different from the default and how it can be rectified.
Thank yo for your help.

Alternative reconciliation account and special GL indicators
Hello,
A tricky one. Your help would be very appreciated !!!
We are facing a problem when using special gl indicators for the clearing of vendor postings that did use an alternative reconciliation account. We face it during a bill of exchange posting. The posting is cleared but the target account determined by the SGI is not the correct one. It is as if the SGI target account was not determined based on the reconciliation account maintained in the vendor posting, but by the reconciliation account maintained in the vendor master data.
In order to be clear:
In table THKON (alternative rec account) we have:
account A >> account B
In table T074 (special GL) we have:
account A >> account C
account B >> account D
The idea is simple: we can have different reconciliation accounts in the vendor posting (A & B) and for the SGI we want to have also different target accounts (C and D).
Our vendor posting use the alt rec account, so account B is used in the posting while account A is maintained in the master data. We trigger our Bill of exchange posting using special GL indicator; the posting on account B is cleared but the target account to which the amount is moved is C while it should be D.
To me this is a major problem and completely annihilates the use of alternative reconciliation account, as the initial distinction cannot be maintained all the way.
Did anyone already face this issue ? Is there an OSS note on this issue ?
Thank you very much for your answer.Dude,
i suspect meanwhile logde a OSS message to SAP.
Alternatively, try to use substitution ( i know as per your config system should work) but try substitution, if possible.
<b><u>OR</u></b>
Configure these SPL GL accounts also in Alternative Recon config against each other -
Special Stock Indicators for Whse Mgmt
hi Experts
can any body tell me the configuration for Special Stock Indicators for Whse Mgmt. i check ed in T321 table in spro for some Movent type (say 661) it is enterd as 1 and 2. i want to know where these are configured .
regds
Rami ReddyYou have to pay particular attention to the fact that different settings are displayed in field 'Special Stock Indicators for Whse Mgmt' (T321-BSLVS) in table T321. For the movement types from shipping (for example, 601), picking technique 1, 2 or 3 is output in this field. In case of postings with active QM-interface a 'Q' is displayed in this field.
The Customizing settings can be found under the following path:
1. Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Interfaces -> Inventory Management -> Define Movement Types.
2. Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Activities -> Transfers -> Define Movement Types.
more can be read in OSS note 388909 - From the movement type in IM to the movement type in WM -

Reg. special GL indicators and the field status - urgent !
Hi all,
we use many Special GL indicators. The problem is the screen changes when we make an entry with different special GL indicators though the accounts which are assigned in the config for the special GL have the same FSG.
Can you guide us as to what is the reason for the change in the field status and how to make it uniform? or which holds priority ?
Regards
KarpagamHi
Field status of the accounts you have defined in FBKP, depend uopn the FSG assigned to Reco account. That means FGS of Reco account will prevail while entering document for the account to which said Reco account is assigned
eg for account xxxx, reco account is yyyy, then FSG of yyyy will work.
If you have different reco accounts for different accounts having same FSG, screen will definelty change.
check FSG for Reco accounts
hope this helps

More Special G/L indicators
Hi everyone
I have a request concerning the special G/L indicators in SAP. Is it possible to extend them in some way? Accounting wants to use more than A-Z and 0-9. I know that is quite a lot but is there any way to get more then this number of indicators into the system?
Thanks for your replies!
best regards
MartinHi Martin,
Using Sp GL indicator this way will be a misuse, becuase special GL indicators are generally used for Special transactions like Down payment, Bill of exchange. And again you have to keep in mind, that in a company only 10 special indicators are allowed in the automatic payment program config. More posting with special GL indicators will not be user friendly option for line item reports.
You can do following config:
Step1) AP & AR> Business Transactions>Postings with alt rec account > Define Alternative reconciliations.
Map your standard recon account with all the possible alternative recon accounts that you want to post to a vendor
Step2) Make the check box Indicator: Reconcil.acct ready for input at time of posting is checked in the Create/Bank/interest tab of the Recon account master data in the relevant company code. T-Code FSS0
Now when the user is posting to the vendor, he has the option to change the "Recon account" to any other recon account he has mapped to this main recon account in step 1
Thanks

Special GL asking for Due Date
Hi SAP Gurus,
When I am trying to post the customer invoice with t.code F-22 and put the Special Ledger indicator it is asking for Due Date as a mandatory field but it should not be because of the payment terms.
Is there any configuration I can use payment terms with special GL indicators for customer and vendor documents.
Is there an option to get the payment terms from the company view when we are creating invoices in special GL indicators. Because the due date that appears, instead of baseline date, payment terms and days as in a common invoice.
Regards,
SimGo to T.Code - OB41 (Field Status for Posting Keys)
Selct Posting Key - 01 & Go inside
Go Inside to Group - Payment Transactions
& Check Out whether Due Date Field is with Required Entry or not. If it is so then make it Optional.
Similarly, Check out Special GL Reconciliation A/C . Through FS00,Check out the Field Status Group of the same (Mostly, it will be G067- Recon.A/Cs) & make the Due Sate Field Optional there as well in Payment Transactions.
Regards..

Payment terms for special G/L
hi
Is there any configuration I can to to use payment terms with special GL indicators for customer ou vendor documents.Dear Krisna,
To make the fields You need ready for input for posting
with special G/L indicator, the following Customizing setting is
necessary:
Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ->
Business Transactions -> Outgoing Payments -> Automatic Outgoing Payment
-> Payment Method/Bank Selection -> Configure payment program -> All
company codes -> double-click on corresponding company code -> under
Vendor -> 'Sp. G/L transactions to be paid' you should enter the special
G/L indicator A,B,C, etc.
As explained in SAP note 4683, the only standard possibility to get the
field payment terms on creating a posting with a special G/L indicator
is by setting in the payment program configuration (trans. FBKP) for
'All company codes' for customers/vendors 'Sp. G/L transaction to be
paid'.
I hope this helps You.

FSCM Dispute Open items with Special GL account (SPL GL indicator)
Hi All,
We are implementing dispute management in SAP 5.0 . When we create dispute case in FBL5n tx, a error message appears
A dispute case must always contain at least one receivable. For example,
you cannot inlcude only credit memos or partial payments in a
receivables-related dispute case. Special G/L transactions are also not
supported.
Message number: FDM_AR008
Open items in FI-AR coming throught billing interface, and all have Special GL indicator O.
Dispute case are only possible with GL accounts and Special GL indicators arent support ?.
Does exists alternative solution?
Regards,
EduardoSpecial Gl ledger is also called as alternative recon a/c.
This is linked to Recon a/c of cusomer or vendor
This Spl gl is used for Down paymet(Advance) from cusomers or for vendors and Bill of Exachange etc.
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.

0fi_ar_4 capture speical G/L indicators
Hi guys,
Does 0FI_AR_4 capture special GL indicators. If yes, how can you identify it.
Also how progress billing is incorporated in it.This is actually a problem with the R3 implementation rather than config
Document splitting in the new GL in ECC 6 addresses this by posting multiple AR documents in the secondary ledgers
Assumion hyou have one debtor line to multiple Revenue lines each with a different profit centre
The main problem will be unallocated cash - what profit centre does that go to?
What about the tax portion - what profit centre does that go to? Do you need to split the tx by vatable lines and then reallocate these to differen tprofit centres?
What about partially paid invoices - what profit centre shoudl that go to
(this is the reason I basically advise the users the cost of implemeting this is too great and they should think about document splitting in R3) -
Using indicators other than "A/F" for Downpayment transaction F-37
Scenario-- We need a one -sided entry(noted items) where will send "invoice like" document to customer for the amount agreed in milestone related to contract(not exactly milestone functionality).
We want to use transaction Downpayment Payment F-37 For this but want to use a different set of Special indicators (e.g. J, T) to keep it separate from the special ind A,F which we use for the regular payment process. having separate Sp G/L indicator will enable AR team to different the items for the Mile stone process.
There are also separate GL account involved for this special process.
I changed the available special GL incators-J,T. But when I changed the properties of the sp ind "T" to "noted items" I get the message below.
How can I use a different set of special GL indicators for downpayment process?
===================================
Down payments and noted items not possible for special G/L indicator T
Message no. F4089
Diagnosis
You selected the noted items as the attribute for the special G/L indicator T. This special G/L account indicator is a down payment/down payment request indicator. This combination is only permitted for special G/L indicator F.
System Response
The system cannot accept this setting.
Procedure
Change your setting for the special G/L indicator.

Down payment request for other special GL transactions
Hi ALL,
Is it possible to post down payment request for other special GL transactions?
If not , I Have a scenario that I have to generate down payment request with different alternative reconciliation accounts , but same reconciliation account.
As we cannot assign different alternative reconciliation accounts for same reconciliation account in special GL indicator "F- down payment request), how to post down payment request with different alternative reconciliation accounts?
Even though I have created different special GL indicators for different alternative reconciliations accounts with same reconciliation accounts, I couldn't post down payment request, only down payment is possible. how to solve?
regs,
ramesh bPlease do the following
1. Activate Reconciliation account ready input setting for your Main reconciliation account in FS00
2. If you dont find the setting in FS00, then you have to change FSG settings for this account group in OBD4.
3. Also assign alternative reconciliation accounts to your reconciliation account
Now system asks you to input the alternative recon account when you do the transactions.

Down payments (One recon account mapping to different special recon account
Hi,
I'm stuck in configuring special gl indicators for down payments for vendors.
we have one recon account for vendor and there are 6 different gl for downpayments.
but the down payment request takes in only one combination of recon and special gl
Ex: U - 20000(A/P) - 14100(Prepayment - Rent)
T - 20000(A/P) - 14102(Prepayment - Asset)
M - 20000(A/P) - 14104(Marketing)
I was able to configure special gl indicator for down payments but the down payment request "F" is the same for all the special GL (U,T&M)
when the down payment request is made its show one account for all the special Gl indicator but on payment appropriate its posted in correct account.
This was causing lot of confusion to the user. Please suggest away to get around this.
Secondly there is Accrued Liabilities accounts how this should handled.
Thanks for your support
