Transfer normal balance sheet accounts to PCA

Hi All,
Following 4 T-codes are available for transfer of balance sheet accounts from FI to PCA
1KEH                  EC-PCA: Transfer Material Stocks
1KEI                   EC-PCA: Transfer Assets
1KEJ                  EC-PCA: Transfer Work in Process
1KEK                 EC-PCA: Transfer Payables/Receivables
How do i transfer any other balance sheet account to PCA [other than through Default Profit Center (3keh)]
Regards,
Shridhar.

Hi Daniela, hi All, because this is my first posting I would like to introduce myself. I'm working with SAP since 1996, I'm certified FI and CO. I used to work as a consultant for six years and now I'm Inhouse SAP with Gerresheimer. http://www.gerresheimer.de/en/home.html
We are supporting our people around the world and also we are putting in new SAP systems in our organisation. Currently we have three different clients world wide, with different organizational levels. We are on SAP ECC 6.0 however not using the new GL yet.
So far so good ;-)..
===========
We are currently in the US trying to switch on balance sheet accounting for PCA due to business unit requirements.
We've got:
- Assets
- Material
- AP and AR
working! All with periodic transfer which we found more stable then online. When created the opening balances did match for AP and assets to FI and AR and material were just a little bit of, that was great.
Now we are running into the problem with all the other balance sheet accounts and still we are reading documentation, OSS Notes and all kind of stuff, but still we have problems. The issues are:
- Do we have to assign every account in 3KEH which is not covered by assets, ap/ar, and material? We tested it with a bank account and it is working, but the table in 3KEH only gives you the option of one PC, plus you can use derivation rule. Ok, there is a user exit but we are not sure about that...
- Why can't we use the profit center which is populated in the balance sheet account? Every BS account has the radio button 'profit center required' for example we have an accrual account in the PC is in there, we can see it, put when we move the FI document over with 1KE8 nothing happens.
- On the other hand we had an account and it was just working the way I described with 1KE8, the document was moved over to PCA.
We are really a little bit confused, since assets, AP/AR and material worked so well, we seem to be blocked on the other accounts and not sure what is the best way to go.
Any response is highly appreciated!
With best regards and all the best,
Thomas

======================================
We have got it working 100% looks nice...
basically the answer :
'- Do we have to assign every account in 3KEH which is not covered by assets, ap/ar, and material? '
is YES.
Thanks and regards,
Thomas

Balance Sheet Accounts in PCA

Hi,
If I only activated PCA to capture the balance sheet accounts (Profit & Loss will be done strictly in COPA), can I left the field PC assigment in Cost Center Master Data to be empty?
Because the structure of the CC is in departement view, while the structure of PC is based on Product Hierarchy.
And I need to create the Balance Sheet Report based on the product hierarchy as in PC hierarchy.
Could any body advice me regarding the mater, like what is the implication if I left the PC assignment blank in CC master data.
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks
Lea

If you do not assign any profit center to a cost center, anyhow the system would assign them to a default Dummy Profit Center which makes it more difficult to reconcile Cost Center Accounting and Financial Accounting. It is therefore recommended that you assign a profit center to each Cost center.
The following are some more analysis based on SAP documentation on concept and PCA assignments with reference to your dilemma of how to assign profit center to cost center which has been designed based on different characteristics namely product hierarchy versus function.
You have divided your company into profit centers according to product hierarchy.
This makes it difficult to assign cost centers that are divided by functions, to a profit center, which is divided by another attribute. i.e. product hierarchy. This can be apparent in a case, where, a production cost center may be performing activities relating to products which fall under multiple profit centers.
In these cases, you may want to assign these cost centers to one profit center (for example, "Production A"). If the cost center then performs activities for a production order, the system however credits the profit center "Production A" as well as the cost center at the time of settlement. You can then either settle the over-/under absorption from the cost center (for example, to a profitability segment) or allocate it directly to the corresponding product hierarchy in Profit Center Accounting.
It is often not possible to assign administration cost centers directly to a profit center. In this scenario, you can create profit center named service profit center or allocation profit center.. Then you may assign the admin cost center to the service profit center or allocation profit center. This profit center would then contain all the administrative costs which occur. At the end of the period, you can then either settle this over-/under absorption from the cost center (for example, to a profitability segment), with assignment to a service profit center.
To simplify you can ideally assess or distribute it directly in Profit Center Accounting, with the allocation profit center as the sender. In either case, the corresponding profit center is credited at the end of the period.

PCA for Full Balance Sheet Accounting

Dear SAP Guru,
We're currently in 4.7. We've implemented PCA for Profit and Loss Accounting. There's business requirement to produce Full Balance Sheet Accounting in PCA, i.e. the one similar to Business Area. Can the standard PCA module (in 4.7) support Full Balance Sheet Accounting? If can, what are the settings and steps that need to be configured in the system? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hello,
you can get the full balance sheet from PCA.
The steps are:
1. You must make sure that you have completed financial statement version (OB58).
2. Copy this account groups to PCA. (Please check the paths to copy the FSV to your PCA.
3. See the available reports in KE80. One of the report must suit your requirement.
4. If they are not suitable to your requirement, create your own balance sheet format (using form and report) - Report painter.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Ravi

PCA-MIRO: Porfit center on balance sheet accounts

Dear Experts,
I face the following issue:
During invoice verification (MIRO) the profit center which was mentioned in the Purchase Order (the profit center to be assigned on P&L account during Goods Receipt and, if applicable, during invoice verification on the P&L account in case of differences) is assigned on the GR/IR balance sheet account in despite of balance sheet accounts are not transferred to PCA.
It is an issue because it multiplies the number of line items during invoice verification (one line item for each profit center). Due to that, substitution would not be an solution since it will erase the profit center but not concatenate line items. Field status group of my GL account set the profit center field as "suppressed". MM field status group cannot be changed since the profit center is useful for the P&L account.
I believe the solution should be in MM and line item summarization, but I cannot succeed.
Please, could you support me?
Many thanks in general for this forum and in advance for your help,
King regards, Gregory.

Hello
Like FI field status groups, where we can manage screen field control, there are field status groups for movement types.
So in MM check FSG for these movement types and make them optional. It is somewhere in IMG in MM.
Hope you would get values.

Post balance sheet account to profit center accouting

Hi.experts.
I want to post some blance sheet accounts to profit center accounting,these account include material stock,wip. what should I do?
thanks in advance.

Hello
Balance sheet items can be transferred periodically or online in realtime
You can transfer the following balance sheet items to Profit Center Accounting in the standard SAP system at end of period:
    Payables and receivables
   Material stocks
   Assets
   Work in process
This can be done in period closing activities for AR/AP
The assignment of payables and receivables to various profit centers is basically derived from the offsetting entry line of the FI document to which they belong. It is not possible to make structural changes to them within Profit Center Accounting. If, for example, you assign a new profit center to a material, or change the derivation rules when creating sales orders, these actions do not affect the assignments of documents which have already been posted.
The payables and receivables to be divided are calculated in FI at the end of the period. To do so, call up the SAP Easy Access screen and choose Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® General Ledger ® Periodic Tasks ® Closing ® Regroup ® Debit Balance Sheet Account Subsequently.
Enter the company codes for which you want to perform the calculation. For these company codes, the payables and receivables are divided according to profit center and business area. The results are then saved.
You can now transfer the data to Profit Center Accounting. Do not choose the next menu option Post B/S readjustment n Financial Accounting. Instead, transfer the data in the Profit Center Accounting application menu, under Actual Postings ® Period Closing ® Transfer Payables/Receivables
You obtain a list of all the company codes in the active controlling area. Select the desired company codes and the period and fiscal year which you want to transfer to Profit Center Accounting.
The system then posts the payables and receivables to Profit Center Accounting under the reconciliation accounts of the general ledger. No FI documents are created in the process
You can call up the function for transferring material stocks in Profit Center Accounting Customizing, under Actual Postings ® Transfer Selected Balance Sheet Items ® Set Up Material Stocks.
The selection screen provides you with the choice of all company codes within the active controlling area. Select the period to be transferred. The current period is always based on the status of Materials Management. Normally, the data from the previous period is transferred.
You access the transfer function by choosing the following path from the Customizing menu for Profit Center Accounting: Actual postings ® Transferring selected balance sheet items ® Generate opening balance for work in process.
The selection screen provides you with the choice of all company codes within the active controlling area. You also enter the period and fiscal year.
You generally work with the standard results analysis version 0. Should you wish to use a different results analysis version, note that this must be set up in CO Customizing for updating in Financial Accounting, as the corresponding account determination is required.
The program transfers all changes in work in process within a single period. When running this function for the first time with a given controlling area, please select the field Create opening balance. The system then posts the opening balance to the start period. You can also post the opening balance to period 01 at fiscal year change, so avoiding having to carry the balance forward.
You access the transfer program by selecting Actual postings ® Transferring selected balance sheet items ® Generate opening balance for assets in Customizing for Profit Center Accounting.
The selection screen provides you with the choice of all company codes within the active controlling area. The depreciation area book depreciation per trade law (01) is provided as a default. You also select the posting period and the fiscal year.
You should run the program in the background, as large amounts of data are normally selected. If you select the field Line item, a line item will be created for each asset in Profit Center Accounting. When handling a large volume of data, you should only use this option for test purposes.
The system assigns assets to profit centers indirectly, via assigned internal orders or cost centers (see Assigning Assets). The program transfers the acquisition and product costs, as well as cumulated value adjustments. The accounts used for this transfer are taken from account determination for Asset Accounting.
Note that it is only possible to calculate key figures (such as Return on Investment) in Profit Center Accounting correctly if an indirect statement of assets and depreciations is made in Financial Accounting

Balance sheet accounts not updating in GLPCA / GLPCT

Hello,
I am working on MySAP 6.0 version and posting FI document giving profit center as an account assignment.
When I check the table entries in GLPCA and GLPCT I could see only P&L accounts updated in these tables but not the balance sheet accounts viz Bank Account.
To be more elaborate if my entry is as under
Dr Expense Account (PCA1) GLPCA / GLPCT (It is updated)
Cr Bank Account (PCA2) GLPCA / GLPCT (ignoring this line item)
However if I post a similar entry directly into PCA module these tables do get updated with balance sheet accounts.
Would anybody have any reasoning for this?

HI
Originally till 4.7 SAP had only month end transaction to push many of balance sheet items to PCA only from the new versions it is having this online transfer usinf assignment of PCA to Gl accounts and then deriving PCA through splitting rules. Thats is why P7L items automatically flow however for balance sheet items especially creditors and debtors, bank and others it requires proper derivation.
Even in Balance sheet Asset will flow automatically

Balance Sheet Account saved as Profit and Loss Account now wants to rectify

Dear All,
Balance Sheet account wrongly created as profit and loss account, and it contains some entries in previous year and current year as well.
Now we want to rectify that error i.e. we would like to change the profit and loss account as balance sheet account (which is to be as Balance Sheet A/c.).
There is a program which is exclusively available for the same which converts profit and loss account to balance sheet account. If you know pl. let me know.
Waiting for your early response and thanks in advance.

Hi ,
earliar also i have given same quation replay, possiblity is there for change GL account type.
When you tray to can change to Balance sheet account from FS00 screen u can get following error message
"Cannot change control of Profit and lossaccount (primary cost elements exist)
"The data contains error, you cannot save"
and if u open that message u can get the following message no.
"The data contains error, you cannot save
Message no. FH511"
it can not be save. so u comeback from fs00 screen
go to OBA5 and give the application are FH and enter, after that select new entries, select the drop down button select your message 511, in online column select W for warning and save.
then u can get the change.
please ensure that if you have not completed the year ending closing procedure the above shoul do..
but your case last year also some entries thre in that particular GL account, so u can not do the above method.
You cannot change the account type.
you need to block that gl account and crete a new GL
pass journals entries to transfer from old p&l gl account to new b/s account
please try it and come back me
assign points if it is useful,
If u find the solution close the issue and assign points.

Changes of CC (profit center) in master data and balance sheet side in PCA

HI
Organizational assignments are not managed as time-dependent in the asset master record.
We want to change the assignment to a cost center, which is in another PC.
The system then automatically run ABUM with appropriate standard transaction type as a default for the posting transaction.
Which standard transaction type is appropriate to reflect change in balance sheet side in PCA ?

The best for this is to use the transaction ABUMN - Transfer within Company Code and not to make the change with AS02

3 way match on balance sheet accounts

Hello,
Our company has decided to get away from direct FI Invoices. We want to raise POs for everything we can. We have got some annual maintenance contracts and insurance premiums for which we receive one invoice for full year. These invoices are posted to balance sheet accounts via direct FI because they are accruals and then they are posted monthly to expense accounts via recurring entries.
There is a possibility to raise a PO on a balance sheet account using Account Assignment Category '9' However once a balance sheet account is put in, there is no field available for keying in the cost centre. Our PO approvals are dependend upon the release strategy assigned to the cost centres and we dont want our POs to be live without being approved.
Is there any way of getting these POs approved without using the release strategy functionality?
Regards
Keyur

Hi Jeffrey,
I am not sure what you are mentioned the cost element is "B/L account" or a "P/L" account, Normally
if it is a cost element, then this G/L account should be a P/L account.
If it is a P/L account, when you run BCF PRG with flag of balance retained earng.acct, then systm
will carryforward the balance of this P/L account to transaction "BIL" account. and no balance is carryforwarded from end of prior year to the beginning of next year.
In case it is a B/L account, then the balance will be carryforwarded into next year.
With Best Regards,

Wrong assignment of Balance sheet accounts for Asset Classes...

dear all,
there is wrongly assignment of acquisition balance sheet account in asset class in t code is AO85 that is, Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs an Accumulated Depreciation Balance sheet account have been assigned. Also in t code AO93 for ordinary depreciation same correct accumulated depreciation Balance sheet account have been assigned.
Now i can say that Acquisition balance sheet account and accumulated depreciation balance sheet account are assigned with same GL (i.e. accumulated depreciation account).
The transactions data have been posted for the asset class with different tcodes i.e.
ABAVN Enter asset transaction: Asset Retirement
OASV Enter Transfer Posting
AIBU AUC Settlement
ABUM Enter asset transaction: Transfer in company code
AB08 Documents from asset
I wanted to post transaction data with correct acquisition account. What should i do to correct posted transactions..
Waiting for positive response.
regards
saqib usman

The best way is to create a new asset class and to transfer the existing assets.
An other option is to change the G/l account in the development system and transport to production. In development it is only possible to this when there are no posting in this asset class. When there are posting you have the option to reset in development asset accounting. Then you can change the G/L account. Have a look to SAP-notes with your error there is a note for.
When the changes are in production you can make a manual correction with the transaction ABF1 (SAP note 69225).
With this option you have the problem that the original postings are no longer in line with the asset account assignment. When you want to do a currency conversion in the future you have to make correction posting again in the old fiscal year

Profit center charge to balance sheet account

Hi SAP experts,
I would like to seeking for professional advice on is below business process require to use MM module?
Currently my customer is using MB1B (material transfer) to make an posting to balance sheet account (100) and in MB1B screen there was a column to assign profit center (P1).
So the accounting document will be DR 100(g/l) & CR 110(g/l) and charge to P1(profit center)
When customer go to view on KE80, will show the amount transfer charge to cost element 400
When i go to view line item display for g/l 100, i didn't see got any profit center is assign to as i know that balance sheet account not require to charge cost object (customer is not in SAP 5.0)
Now i would like to ask is there any possible, i can post a profit center(P1) to balance sheet account(100) and charge to other cost element (400) without using MB1B? only use manual general ledger accounting posting (FB01)
Note: customer is not in ECC6
Thanks

Hi,
I'm not an expert in Cost accounting at all. from my own experience I know, that some of P&L accounts might be relevant to Cost accounting and in this case you need to make appropriate settings in the following node for Treasury: Treasury and Risk Management -> Transaction Manager -> General Settings -> Accounting -> Link to Other Accounting Components -> Allocate Additional Account Assignments to Account Assignment References.
I guess in your case it is only Interest Income account relevant for Cost center, you can check it by clicking on field Reference key in standard report TPM20 and you should be referred to window with several documents, including Cost accounting document. As far as I remember, Cost accounting document might consist of just one line item.
hope this will help you.

CO account assignment on a GR/IR Account (Balance sheet Account)

The GR/IR account line item on Goods Receipt(GR) documents picks up the account assignment ( WBS Element, Cost center or an Order) from the Purchase order account assignment.
The GR/IR account is defined as a Balance sheet account. So it is abnormal to pick up a CO account assignment on the GR/IR account line item on a Goods receipt or Invoice document.
I shall appreciate if some expert here lets me know if there is a fix(an OSS note) in order for the GR/IR account NOT to pick up a CO account assignment on the subsequent documents(Goods receipt and Invoice) from the Purchase order.
Thanks in advance.
Vijayanth

Hi Vijaynath,
If you have the modules like CO, PS, FM, IM and activated the above modules, at the time of the GR system compulsarly will ask for account assignment. Because PO might be crated for a project or cost center. In the above 2 cases system will look for account assignment.
I guess system picksup the cost center or WBS against the Raw Material account but not for the GR/IR clearing account. Please check it.
For the raw material and asset accounts you can create statistical cost elements.
Thanks & Regards,
shashi kanth.

Credit Memo all my material items to be directly posted to Balance Sheet account

Hi Experts
My client has a scenario where for certain items they create a credit memo request document and finally a credit memo document from the VKOA system is picking the revenue bearing GL and posting all the line items to that G/L account
Manually my customer is again checking and extracting the p/l and posting to balance sheet account
is there a way where we can directly post these entries to Balance Sheet account
Best Regards
Waseem

Hi Sanil
Thanks for the quick reply, can we assign a balance sheet account directly in VKOA in the G/L account field or do we need to add this in directly in Provision acc field
As suggested by you we already have the access sequence with respect to Order Reason, I am just doubtful wether we can directly give Balance Sheet account in G/L account field
