Subledger and GL Reconciliation Account Adjustment

Hi Everyone,
My issue is that I currently have an inconsistency between our Fixed Asset Subledger and General Ledger, and here is the scenario I have:
1. FA Subledger Entry - Profit Centre 123 has an amount of $100
2. GL Entry - Reconciliation Account 145300 has an amount of $100 - BUT no profit centre associated with it.
Therefore, the following entry is required:
Debit 145300 $100 - using profit centre 123
Credit 145300 ($100) - using no profit centre
The issue is that GL Account 145300 is a reconciliation account and cannot be directly posted to. I cant change the settings on the GL Account either as I receive message FH110 - Modifications to reconciliation account not permitted.
I basically want the FA Subledger profit centre to be reflected in the GL. I have tried searching this topic, but havent found
anything that helps.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Rob

Hi
Where did you see PC in FA Sub ledger reports? I dont know of any report which gives you PC wise Asset reports... This feature is introduced in EhP5..
Anyways, did you see the Asset Recon Account in FAGLL03 report / in FAGLFLEXA table?? (If you are on New GL)
If you are not on New GL PCA, you need to run 1KEI to transfer Asset balances to EC-PCA
I am interested in knowing which report in Asset Subledger gives you PC wise Asset balances.. Please share!

MIRO and alternative reconciliation accounts?

Hi all,
The situation is following. Purchase order is made and when in MIRO we are processing this PO into a subsequent credit then it is not possible to change an reconciliation account for that vendor even if I did set it up in SPRO as an alternative rec. acc. and have set it to be ready for posting.
One solution would be to define a different doc. type and then do a substitution (I guess) but I wonder why this doesn't work the same way as posting a vendor invoice from FI?!
Thanks
D.

In MIRO, you will be able to change the vendor account but not the reconciliation account itself. The reconciliation account field will be greyed out, unless you made it as optional. This may cause issues, as the user can go in and change the account and your subledger will not tie back to your ledger.
One of the other alternative solution, may not be a preferred solution, is that when you are doing subsequent credits, you choose a different vendor (assigned to the other GL Account that you want to post to) and then post the MIRO transaction.
Thanks,

One Vendor and two Reconciliation Accounts?

Hi All,
I have to post the invoices sent by a certain Vendor into two Reconciliation Accounts, according to the type of purchase (the Vendor makes two types of activity).
Unfortunately, in the master data of the vendor (company data) I can fill in only one Reconciliation Account ...
Could anyone suggest me a solution?
Thanks
Gandalf

Hi,
As mentioned in the mails below, to achieve this you have to define alternative accounts wherin you mention that against a particular econ account mentioned in your Vendor master what all Recon account are allowed.
Secondly, in your Vendor master data also you have to tick the Recon Account ready for input tick. This will ask for a recon account whenever you enter entry in that vendor account.
Thirdly for control purposes you can either write a validation for the recon account that you are entering in the Vendor master data that no postings can be made in this recon account. By this system will always ask you for an alternate account and that will help you.

MIRO and alternative reconciliation account?

Hi all,
is it possible to have the possibility to post to an alternative reconciliation account of a vendor when posting in MIRO? I know that in FI when I set in spro an alternative reconciliation account for some account and then mark that this account is ready for input I can choose, when posting a vendor invoice for example, a different reconciliation account. In MIRO this field is grey and I can not input anything (change it). Does anyone have any idea about that?
Thanks a lot!

Difference between "account group" and "reconciliation account"

Hello,
I am new to SAP and I would like to understand the difference between the "account group" and the "reconciliation account" that appear both in the vendor master records.
From what I read, "account group" is just a classification but has no "accounting" impact whereas "reconciliation account" (goods suppliers, overhead expenses suppliers...) do have an accounting impact.
However I am not sure so I would like a confirmation on that and if possible examples so I could really understand.
Thank you.

Hi,
The account group is a way to divide vendors into groups for reporting later on.
The account group is also the link to the number range and the field selection functionality.
Please refer the below link for more clarity.

Account group
The reconciliation account is the account is the account which is posted to at invoice receipt stage where the vendor account represents the sub ledger and the reconcilation account the ledger.

Changing the Reconciliation Account

Dear All
I have made a customer account and assigned Reconciliation Account 101 to it. Then some entries were made. It is also having some open items. Later on it was realized that wrong reconciliation was assigned. In the Customer Master Record, when I tried to change the Reconciliation to 102, I got a yellow warning mesasge which is as follows:
Account has been posted to; hold balance sheet adjustment
Message no. F2067
Diagnosis
The open item account in which you want to change the reconciliation account has been posted to.
By changing the reconciliation account in the open item master record the proportionate values from the items open at the time of change are not posted to the new reconciliation account.
Procedure
On the balance sheet key date the open items from the old reconciliation account are allocated to the new reconciliation account using adjustment accounts. This allocation is carried out automatically when you create a sorted list of receivables and payables using report SAPF101.
The postings necessary are only carried out for G/L accounts and are cancelled on the first day of the subsequent month (balance sheet adjustment posting).
But on the contrary, when see the Customer Reports, and give the New Reconcilaition 102, I am getting all the transaction as theyb were with the Old Reco Account 101. I also made some dummy entries for sales and payments.
Please advice.
Thanks & Regards
Kanwaljit

Hi,
Sub ledger level you'll see all items.
But GL level, you can't see all items.
As you have posted few entries with old reconciliation account and remaining entries in new reconciliation account.
Also you can use program "SAPF101" to transfer the old gl balance to new gl. Please check the documentation in this transaction for functionality.

Hi
Created a New GL Account for Adjustment Postings
Changed the Vendor Master Data with regard to NEW Reconciliation Account
Updated the FI Auto Postings Configuration: Trxn: OBBW (Transaction Key: A00: Transfer postings: changed recon. acct) as under:
Old Reconciliation Account = Adjust Acct xyz
New Reconciliation Account = Adjust Acct xyz
Run F101, with the intention, that the Balances / Open Items from OLD Recon would be MOVED to the NEW Recon.
On running F101 and then Clicking on Postings, I got several entries, whereof none showed the impact on the NEW Reconciliation Account.
Lastly I ran F.01 Balance Sheet, and here, still the OLD Recon appeared.

Special GL - alternate reconciliation accounts

I'm have difficulty bringing together the concept of Special GL accounts and Alternate Reconciliation accounts as they relate to customer invoices. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
We have a requirement to create a separate A/R subledger to collect a specific goup of A/R invoices. These need to be aged separately and the A/R needs to be separately identifyable in the Balance Sheet. A Special GL account seems to be the best way to solve these requirements but I am not able to sucessfully match the Special GL configuration with the SD invoice billing.
I would appreciate any thought or help on this issue.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi,
- First you determine the customers for which the alternative reconciliation account is required.
- Then check the reconciliation account for that customer.
- Check the existing special GL indicators which are present using following path,
Financial Accounting - Accounts receivable and payable - Business transactions - Postings with Altenative Reconciliation account - other Special Gl transactions - Define alternative reconciliation account for customer/vendor. (For down payments, the path is Financial Accounting - Accounts receivable and payable - Business transactions - down payment made - Define alternative reconciliation account for down payment)
- Depending upon the type of transaction (viz. RDD or interest etc.) check whether there is a special GL indicator existing. If yes, then maintain the reconciliation account and the alternative reconciliation account for the respective reconciliation account. You can create your own special GL indicators and assign the reconciliation account within that.
Hope this helps.

Define Alternative Reconciliation Accounts

Dear All,
What is the use of ID field, when we are assigning GL account with Alternative GL account.
IMG Path: SPRO --> Financial Accounting (New) --> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable --> Business Transactions --> Postings with Alternative Reconciliation Account --> Define Alternative Reconciliation Accounts.
i repeat my question what is the use of ID field

Hi Ranjit:
First of all, this setting requires GL account (reconciliation account) should be ready for input. You can check that in the GL master (and if that is suppress, you can open that field in the account group definition).
Then, when you maintain the ID in the alternate reconciliation account, it is a short cut key to use for the alternate account during document entry. So at the time of document entry, instead of entering the alternate reconcilation account, you can enter this ID and system would bring the account number. And for this to work, ID should be uniquely assigned to a combination of reconcilation and alternate reconciliation account.
So , basically ID is short cut key (for alternate reconciliation account) during document entry.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Can anyone explain the usage of alternative reconciliation account?

I maintained the relationship between G/L reconciliation ccount and Alternative reconciliation account. But I failed to find where I can pick the alternative reconciliation account when I posted a AP document. Can anyone tell me the usage of alternative reconciliation account? Thank you.

Hi,
The alternative reconciliation account is used when you want to seperate certain kind of transactions from other transactions and then clear them out.
example: Down payments - Some Vendors require down payments in advance. This payment is made and posted to a seperate special recon account. When the normal invoice is presented, it is booked to the normal recon account. Before payment of Invoice, the Down payment is cleared against the Invoice and only the balance remaining is paid to the Vendor.
In T-code OBYR, you can maintain the relationship between various Gl and Special GL .i.e. alternative recon accounts. The assignment is made for different types of transaction using different special G/L indicators.example : Down payment (general) , Down payment (assets) etc.
You can post to the special G/L (alternative recon account) by using the special G/L indicator during Vendor posting. Eg. in FB60 you have a field for SPL G/L indicator. Depending on the indicator chosen during posting, the System will post to the corresponding Special G/L account(alternative recon account).
Hope this helps.

Reconciliation accounts of venor and customer.

HI ALL,
Actually I have created "sundry Debtors" account as "account number "200150"
and i have posted some amount to this account. that is "RS 2070"
now i have created another account as "Sundry debtors" account as "Account Number 200111"
now i want to transfer the "RS 2070" from "200150" account to "200111" account and i want to change the "200150" account as "advance to vendors (special g/l account).
so how can i transfer that amount as a debit amount in the new account.
in customer master previously i have assigned "200150" account. and i have done only one transaction.
now i will change the reconciliation account as "200111" in the customer.
Please let me know this process.
thanks in advance.
MR.RAO

Hi MR Rao,
Yes, what Nikitha has said above is the best option.
Since you just have one posting in the customer account, it is better to reverse the document. Then, chnage the recon account in the customer master and post the transaction again.
In OBXR, assign the GL 200150 as the Special GL account for the relevant customer recon account.

Mike

Vendor and reconciliation account problem

Hello Gurus,
we have following situation.
I.e. There's a vendor with number 300000 and it has recon.acct. 45000100 in which a special amount of money was posted.
Now weve changed the 45000100 account into 45000500 in vendor master data.
We want the amount from 45000100 to post to 45000500, but when we use the TC's FB41 or FB01 the system throws an error, which says that the account cannot be used.
Is there some way of posting the amount from one Rec.Acct into other, without creating a new Vendor account?
Best regards
Laurynas Prikockis

Hello,
Please see your OBYR configuration.
For reconciliation account 45000100 you have given special GL recon account for example 123456
Now you must see that the recon account 45000500 has been assigned with a GL account 123456 or some other special GL recon. account as per your requirement.
If yo uchange recon. account in vendor master, you are required to fun F.5D. Please go through the documentation on the transaction code.

Ravi

Reconciliation accounts of customer and vendors

Dear all,
We need to post within the journal an initial value on various account numbers, among which there are reconciliation accounts of customers and vendors. The idea is to make these accounts not reconciliation accounts but just temporarily. As far as I know for SAP that's not possible. Reconciliation accounts cannot be posted directly unless you change their properties and that's possible only if you do not have any registration, but that's not the case.
I suggested to:
a- post on the accounts of the single customers and vendors, but they are too many
b- create a dummy vendor and a dummy customer linked to that reconciliation account, and post on that, but that then those customers and vendors will remain in the ledger.
I suggest to reverse the movement
on those customers/vendors in a different date (e.g. post on
30/04 and reverse on 01/05) so that their balance can be zero and they do not appear in reporting for customers and vendors, but just in the initial load.
Can anyone please tell me if there is a better solution?
Thanks
Giulio

Hi,
When you say you have values to be posted into recon accounts, that means these are accounts recievables and accounts payables.
There would definetely be parties to take the netoff in the balance sheet. Hence should not be a problem.
If you want these to be posted into two accounts, better choose two normal accounts, post and block these two mentioning the reason.
If you are talking about the initial upload, its advisable to post into separate vendors and customers, if not each of the open items, atleast the cumulative balance on each customer/vendor.
Hope you would succeed.

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
