Surcharges inclusion in Inventory

hi.,
Customer has the issue that Vendors are billing for fuel surcharge and  looks like Purchasing is setting it up on the conditions
(should work like the frt. conditions) but for some reason they are not able to set the invoices to pay the way the purchase order is being set up. The message customer is  getting is “Maintain the account key and accruals/provisions in the calculation schem”. 
I want to know what it is we need to correct this problem.
What i have done is:
   1. Go to OBYC-  BSX, create a inventory account  for Fuel surcharge and assign it to a valution calss and valuation gp.
   2. Then in SPRO, i maintained the account key and accrual provisions in the calculation schema. Updated the  Fuel surcharge condition type in the pricing procedure for Pricing procedure Big.
   3. Assigned the Account key and Key accruals there.
Is there any other setting i need to check. Is there any other settings on WRX , i need to configure. Am i missing any other step?
Appreciate feedback from the group.
Thanks

hi Prabhakar,
I had configured a Surcharge on delivery in the condition type to be calculated on the qty delivered. Say for every Gallon, a surcharge of 0.2 cents is charged. I had maintained this surcharge as a separate condition type and assigned it to a separate G/L a/c.
Now during PO creation, in the header , the price remains the same as i give for the Unit price.
In the conditions tab in Item level, the surcharge is added on to the gross price and i get a Net Price.
Without saving the PO, when i go to see the Print-preview, i see only the Gross price.
After saving the PO, in print review, i see
1. Unit gross price under Sl.No.1.
2. After the Item description, immediately, there is qty ordered x unit price + surcharge and then followed by the  Nett price
3. At the bottom right corner of the PO, i get qty ordered x unit price only. Surcharge amount does not appear.
How do i get the Total Net price i.e qty ordered x unit price + surcharge to appear on the bottom right of the PO.
Is it a standard functionality for the Total price to appear or does it involve the role of ABAP programming.???
Also .,
When i am processing MIRO, should i not get the total figure payable to the Vendor, including Surcharge?
At present, i am getting only the unit price x qty displayed while doing MIRO.
When i do MR51, i get the total figure as given below.
GL a/c Vendor a/c 110
G/L a/c GR/IR clrg account 100
G/L a/c Surcharge account. 10.
In M/08, , i have ticked X, for the condition type for Surcharge.
How do I update the Invoice with a Fuel surcharge amount (which has got its own GL ACCOUNT?).
Much appreciated for your response.
Tx
Mahesh

  • App for tracking inventory, raw material, expenses, sales, etc.

    I'm on the verge of starting a simple business (if all goes well). I will be producing simple things like candles, eventually essential oils, etc, but may also sell things NOT produced from raw materials. I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for the best app for keeping inventory of raw materials & items produced by them, as well as keeping track of cost & sales of those things. Something simple, yet that's not lacking the essentials.
    Thanks.

    Hi Surya
    I guess you would be using Price Control V.. In that case, even a standard cost estimate wont help you
    If Price Control is V - Then you can take some cue from the appended thread... Product Costing-Overhead inclusion in Inventory standard cost without PPV
    refer the reply from Chetan especially.. You need to have the 4 cond types in MM Pricin procedure.. however, only one of them (base Price) would post offset to GR IR and not the other 3...
    You may think of using a routine as said by Althea

  • Overhead costs on raw materials

    Our requirement is to have some percentage overhead on raw materials.  So I created a costing sheet and applied a percentage to them and did a std cost estimate. Now when GR is received it valuates against the std cost (which includes OH) and posts the difference to PPV. Client wants it to valuate against the orginal price of material (without OH)
    Ex;  ROH  Mat A $1.00 in planned price 1
           Costing sheet : 10% OH
    Standard cost of this ROH A is $1.10
    Purchase order will be at $1 so GR will post  Dr. Inv $1.10  Cr. Gr/Ir $1.00 PPV $ 0.10
    But clients want that PO price $1 to be valuated against $1 (true ROH cost) and post $0.10 to absorption account
    Dr. inv $1.10, Cr Gr/IR $1  Cr abs $0.10  
    if P.O is $1.10 then Dr. Inv $1.10 Cr. Gr/IR $1.10 Dr.PPV $0.10 Cr ABS $0.10
    I am not sure if it is even possible if not waht options do I have to have and overhead for Raw materials with out updating standard cost estimate with $1.10.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Yes, it is possible
    What you want is to Debit the inventory with 1.1 i.e. inclusive of Overhead.. But, Credit the GR/IR with 1 $ and post the 0.10 to absorption account instead of PPV... So, that PPV reflects true PPV
    You need to create an accrual key for the same..
    1. Create an accrual condition type and accrual account key in MM pricing procedure. In this way, there is a credit entry to the GL account represented by accrual account key. Hence the PPV represents the true value.
    2. For the accrual condition type, you can create a condition record such that its value is same as your overhead. You can use the user exit to automatically populate its value from KEKO and KEPH table.
    Refer this post where it was discussed a few days back

  • R12 Creation of Custom Responsibilities

    Hi,
    We are currently on R12 with a single org setup and and have a requirement to create custom resp. to control user access.
    Pls. let me know if creation of custom menus, sub menus, request groups is the right option OR menu, function exclusions a better option.
    When compared to 11i does R12 require any additional setups apart from New Resp, Menu, Submenu, Functions, Request Groups, Profile Options..?
    Any metalink note Id which discusses detail of creation of custom resp. in R12 will be of great help.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The only way you can restrict an user to do certain activities only by defining multiple custom responsibilities... e.g.. A user should not have the privilege to do setups in the system.. He is authorised to do trxs only.. for that you define a Responsibility like "Inventory User" and exclude "setup" function/menu while defining the Responsibility... Now assign this resp to the user..By using this he will be able to do trxs only but he can't do setup or setup changes in Inventory module...
    Your question:  Pls. let me know if creation of custom menus, sub menus, request groups is the right option OR menu, function exclusions a better option.
    To my know knowledge menu, function exclusion is a better option….

  • Physical Inventory and snapshoot inclusion

    Hello,
    I have a question about physical inventory. When I took a snapshot and created tags of the subinventory not all the items were included in the snapshot.
    I noticed that the system takes snapshots only on the items that have transactions in this month only. Is this true or is there another reason?
    if YES, How can i take all items in the subinventory in this snapshoot?
    thanks

    That does not make sense. A tag should be printed if you have onhand no matter when the item was transacted the last time.
    Verify that you did not limit your physical to a certain subinventory.
    Try it in another instance that is more than a month old. If what you say is true, you should get very few tags.
    If the behavior continues, you may have to raise an SR to get a patch.
    Hope this helps,

  • Inventory - Overhead added at each assembly stage

    hi Guru,
    : Inventory - Overhead added at each assembly stage
    I have had a look into the BOM for the product code #####-######. At each assembly stage of the product overhead is added on. This is grossing up each time, meaning that the BOM and cost in stock is too high.
    Would it be possible to amend this?
    A sub assembly of materials and labor+ overheads, rolling to a material cost in a higher sub assembly or a manufactured part, and the overhead / labor being surcharged on the whole.
    This is causing a snowballing effect. It seems that the part number he refers to has no stock so I think the effect should be nothing as of now, but we need to fix this

    the problem is you have overhead under the each material ,labor and setup of the BOM
    In product costing when you do the routing for the BOM please remove the overhead and at aty the time of finished good.
    so that as meny time the BOM passes through each work centres the overhead cost should not keep piling on the material
    which further increases the cost
    I hope this would resolve the issue

  • Duty inclusive scenario in plant

    Dear All,
    I am creating a PO for zero excise duty with tax procedure TAXINN. Vendor send the material with the PO price, as excise duty inclusive. At the time of GR I put the excise duties manually and select the MRP indicator. The accounting document is created during GR with the debit to inventory account the value ( PO price less the duties manually added at the time of GR) and credit to GR/IR account. Excise invoice is posted with the debit to excise duty account and credit to cenvat clearing account.
    When I am creating MIRO, the duty amount is loaded on the inventory account of the material and not the cenvat clearing account. I dont know why this is happening.
    Pls help
    Regards.
    Milind

    Hi,
    Check in OB40 T code. Against that Tax code whether yu have maintained the G/L or not.
    One more thing at the time of IV you have to change the amount to  the Base amount (PO Value- Excise amount) .

  • Surcharge to be post using two deferent GL accounts

    Hi Guys,
    I have customer requirement to post a surcharge using of two G/L accounts for each line item,
    Say Exu2026
    Surcharge item condition ZTM1 have value Rs 1000/- need to post two G/L account same amount with out change 1) 2000014141 2) 7000014141,
    I have updated the both GL accounts in VKOA in GL account/Provision account, created condition type assigned to pricing procedure , done other settings , created invoice , in the condition if I double click I can see both GL accounts in the invoice but the condition value is posted to first GL account not posted to second GL account.
    Is there any routine or SAP notes for this issue to fix?

    Following is accounting entry during Billing Document release to accounting:
    |Customer Acc. |Dr| |1060| |
    |Sales Revenue Acc. | |Cr| |1000|
    |Tax Account| |Cr.| |60|
    This is if you have Price inclusive of taxes. And you collect taxes from customer with the base price of the material.
    Do want account entries like this?
    Option1
    |Customer Acc. |Dr| |1000| |
    |Sales Revenue Acc. | |Cr| |940|
    |Tax Account| |Cr.| |60|
    OR
    Option2
    |Customer Acc. |Dr| |1000| |
    |Sales Revenue Acc. | |Cr| |1000|
    In either of the case, check your pricing procedure & respective account entries.
    Else, if you looking for accural entries of taxes then the accounting entries will be
    |Customer Acc. |Dr| |1060| |
    |Sales Revenue Acc. | |Cr| |1000|
    |Defer Tax Account| |Cr.| |60|
    AND
    Check GL Account 7000014141 in FBL3N.

  • OPM Inventory Roll Forward Report

    Hello All:
    My Plant controller is asking for an Inventory Roll Forward report in OPM 11.5.10
    At the high level, this is what he is asking for :
    For the quarters under examination, obtain and test or perform an overall "rollforward" of inventory units (i.e., beginning inventory plus production plus returns less sales and plus or minus inventory adjustments equals ending
    inventory).
    I am planning to build a custom report using information based in ic_tran_pnd and ic_tran_cmp tables.
    I wanted to know, Is there a "standard" Report in OPM that is available to give this information or anything close enough that I can use a starting point to build the above Report?
    Thanks in advance.
    Sandeep
    Edited by: user8611828 on Dec 29, 2010 6:44 PM

    Hi Sandeep,
    *"Daily Transaction Detail Report"* in OPM inventory responsibility can be the basis on which you can build on the "running stock balance report". Of course, inclusion of ic_perd_bal would make sense for the opening balance.
    Rather, you can even build "Projected Stock Balance report", in case you have procurement plans (PR/PO) –-- inflow and projected requirements --- outflow, is in place.
    Hope this helps.

  • Inventory Ageing query performance

    Hi All,
       I have created inventory ageing query on our custom cube which is replica of 0IC_C03. We have data from 2003 onwards. the performance of the query is very poor the system almost hangs. I tried to create aggregates to improve performance but its failed. What i should do to improve the performance and why the aggregate filling is failed. Cube have compressed data. Pls guide.
    Regards:
    Jitendra

    Inaddition to the above posts
    Check the below points ... and take action accordingly to increase the query performance.
    mainly check --Is the Cube data Compressed. it will increase the performance of the query..
    1)If exclusions exist, make sure they exist in the global filter area. Try to remove exclusions by subtracting out inclusions.
    2)Check code for all exit variables used in a report.
    3)Check the read mode for the query. recommended is H.
    4)If Alternative UOM solution is used, turn off query cache.
    5)Use Constant Selection instead of SUMCT and SUMGT within formulas.
    6)Check aggregation and exception aggregation on calculated key figures. Before aggregation is generally slower and should not be used unless explicitly needed.
    7)Check if large hierarchies are used and the entry hierarchy level is as deep as possible. This limits the levels of the hierarchy that must be processed.
    Use SE16 on the inclusion tables and use the List of Value feature on the column successor and predecessor to see which entry level of the hierarchy is used.
    8)Within the free characteristics, filter on the least granular objects first and make sure those come first in the order.
    9)If hierarchies are used, minimize the number of nodes to include in the query results. Including all nodes in the query results (even the ones that are not needed or blank) slows down the query processing.
    10)Check the user exits usage involved in OLAP run time?
    11)Use Constant Selection instead of SUMCT and SUMGT within formulas.
    12)
    Turn on the BW Statistics: RSA1, choose Tools -> BW statistics for InfoCubes(Choose OLAP and WHM for your relevant Cubes)
    To check the Query Performance problem
    Use ST03N -> BW System load values to recognize the problem. Use the number given in table 'Reporting - InfoCubes:Share of total time (s)' to check if one of the columns %OLAP, %DB, %Frontend shows a high number in all InfoCubes.
    You need to run ST03N in expert mode to get these values
    based on the analysis and the values taken from the above  - Check if an aggregate is suitable or setting OLAP etc.

  • Type of Physical Inventory

    Dear All,
                how many type of Physical Inventory we can do in SAP.Please explain in detials & also Steps(T-code).
    Regards
    Pavan

    Hi,
    Physical Inventory Locate the document in its SAP Library structure
    Purpose
    This component allows you to carry out a physical inventory of your company’s warehouse stocks for balance sheet purposes. Various procedures can be implemented for this.
    Scope of Functions
    In the SAP system, a physical inventory can be carried out both for a company’s own stock and for special stocks. Inventory for a company’s stock and for special stocks (such as consignment stock at customer, external consignment stock from vendor, or returnable packaging) must be taken separately (in different physical inventory documents), however.
    Note that the blocked stock returns and the stock in transfer cannot be inventoried. If these stocks are still to be counted in a physical inventory, you must transfer post these stocks to other stocks capable of inclusion in a physical inventory.
    The stock in a warehouse can be divided into stock types. In the standard system, a physical inventory can be carried out for the following stock types:
    ·        Unrestricted-use stock in the warehouse
    ·        Quality inspection stock
    ·        Blocked stock
    Note
    If batch status management is active, the first stock type covers both unrestricted-use stock and restricted-use stock.
    Inventory of all stock types mentioned can be taken in a single transaction. For the materials to be inventoried, one item is created in the physical inventory document for every stock type.
    Physical inventory takes place at storage location level. A separate physical inventory document is created for every storage location.
    If a material does not exist in a storage location, this means that no goods movement has ever taken place for the material in the storage location. The material, therefore, has never had any stock in this storage location. The material does not exist at stock management level in the storage location. It is therefore not possible to carry out a physical inventory for the material in this storage location.
    This is not to be confused with a material for which a goods movement has taken place and for which the stock balance is currently zero. A physical inventory must be carried out in this case, since storage location data is not deleted when the stock balance is zero.
    Physical Inventory Procedures
    The SAP System supports the following physical inventory procedures:
    ·        Periodic inventory
    ·        Continuous inventory
    ·        Cycle counting
    ·        Inventory sampling
    Periodic Physical Inventory
    In a periodic inventory, all stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date. In this case, every material must be counted. During counting, the entire warehouse must be blocked for material movements.
    Continuous Physical Inventory
    In the continuous physical inventory procedure, stocks are counted continuously during the entire fiscal year. In this case, it is important to ensure that every material is physically counted at least once during the year.
    Cycle Counting
    Cycle counting is a method of physical inventory where inventory is counted at regular intervals within a fiscal year. These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the materials.
    The Cycle Counting Method of Physical Inventory allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items.
    Inventory Sampling
    In Structure link MM – Inventory Sampling, randomly selected stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date. If the variances between the result of the count and the book inventory balance are small enough, it is presumed that the book inventory balances for the other stocks are correct.
    Updating the Logistics Information System (LIS)
    The physical inventory is connected to the Logistics Information System (LIS). When inventory differences are updated in the LIS, they are displayed both on a quantity and on a value basis. The physical inventory items are aggregated at inventory number level, plant level, storage location level, and material level. If you need more detailed information on the inventory differences in the LIS, you can access the list of inventory differences directly from the LIS and continue the analysis at item level.
    Restrictions
    The posting of physical inventory differences is subject to certain time constraints:
    ·        The posting period is automatically set during counting. Therefore, the inventory difference must be posted to the same period or - if postings to the previous period are allowed - in the following period.
    ·        The fiscal year is set by specifying a planned count date when creating a physical inventory document. All subsequent postings to this document must take place in this fiscal year and/or in the first period of the following fiscal year, if postings to the previous period are allowed.
