Trial Balance

Hi All,
I have a query regarding the Trial balance Report.
When i run the trial balance for the period 01-04-09 to 31-12-09, I get certain figures for the accounts. When i run the Sales analysis report and the purchase analysis report, I get certain figures as well.
Now I would like to know and check whether the sale figures and the purchase figures are correct or not? How do I compare the result of the sale analysis with that of trial balance for the same period? Please guide.
Thanks,
Joseph

Hi Joseph
The basic principle of making sure that the G/L account balances to its corresponding item group or warehouse is quite simple:
1. Never post journals to these accounts unless absolutely necessary.
2. Make sure the account determination is correct and that all transactions types are fully understood in terms of their impact on the trading stock account as well as on the moving average calculation. Remember that these 2 work hand in hand and any transaction that updates or relies on moving average will typically post an entry to the trading stock account.
I must also mention at this point in time that 2005A (I am not sure of 2005B) had issues with the updating of stocks which was fixed in 2007A. The major changes are in the way that SAP handles negative stock. In the old versions, negative stock was posted at zero cost, while in 2007A it will use the last known cost and do price adjustments automatically if the new stock purchased, which now makes the on hand positive, was at a different cost.
From your last response, it would appear that your first problem relates to not having the correct sales return account for each item group. Please change this and then run a query on all sales credit notes to determine which cost on which line was supposed to post to which trading stock account. Next post a journal, preferably one per month, to reallocate the value of the credit notes (cost of sales value) to the correct trading stock account/(s).
Next check that no other manual entries or any service documents (purchases or sales) were posted directly against the trading stock accounts. Reallocate as necessary.
Next try to run the sales analysis for one item group and one month at a time, also run the stock audit report for the same item group and month and compare.
If you still find major differences on the above then let me know. My address for mailing is exposed under my profile. I will send you some queries to run that join the stock movement tables, document tables and allow you to compare to the journal table.
Kind regards

  • Cancelled invoices still appearing in AP Trial Balance report

    Hi,
    The invoice was cancelled during 2007 but it is still showing in the AP Trial balance and GL Trial Balance report.
    May I know why? The current fix is to go the JE and fix it to zero, but this involves lot of manual work.
    Please guide me to find the exact root cause.

  • AP Invoice Aging Report by GL Date (using: Accounts Payable Trial Balance)

    Hi
    Need some suggestions:
    I need to develop a custom report in (R12).
    Account Payable Trial Balance Report, does have the capability to run as of a particular date but it does not show aging buckets. This custom report is to be developed to meet the requirements from a Payables detail perspective as well as to reconcile.
    The report should show the balance due as of the report date selected. If As of Date = 5/31/11, then when the report is run on 6/15/11, it gives the results as it existed on 5/31/11. If we run it again on 8/31/11 for As of Date = 5/31/11, and again on 1/13/12, we get the EXACT SAME results each and every time except for the following fields: Current Status, Date Paid and Payment Reference Number.
    The end result should be this report ties to the penny to Oracle GL as of the date selected EXCEPT for any JEs posted to the account.
    Thanks
    Pravin

    Hi Pravin,
    For all transactions in Oracle, you will have GL dates (Accounting Dates) associated to it. If you use this date in your query to filter data, then you will get correct aging data as on a given date.
    To tally with GL, you also must check if the selected transaction has been accounted?

  • AP Trial Balance Report Issue

    Hi gurus- I run the AP Trial Balance report and have an issue that I cannot reconcile with my raw data because when I export into excel, the invoice number is cut off after 20 characters.  This client has long invoice numbers.  Is there any way to get the SQL for this report and run it separately so I may see the invoice numbers and reconcile?  Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    Please check note:553484.1, there are some queries provided to check the TB data like queries to compare XLA and GL data.

  • AP Trial Balance Report Query

    Hi - We use the AP Trial Balance Report as a supporting schedule to reconcile our General Ledger AP Creditor Control Account against.
    Ordinarily we would use the total remaining amount at the end of the report (which has historically balanced to the GL).
    The value in the remaining amount column has always equalled the value in the amount column.
    However, during P12 when we have generated the report we have identified several transactions that have an amount appearing in the 'remaining amount' column but no corresponding entry in the 'amount' column.
    We're not sure what the 2 column represent and why this would be the case.
    Consequently by using the 'Remaining Amount' total and comparing it to the GL balance we are out by the amounts that are only appearing on one side of the AP Trial Balance.
    I've looked at the accounting postings on the AP for some of the particualr records and can see that there is a debit and credit posting to expenditure that net off and and also a debit and credit posting to the AP Creditor Control Account that also net off
    Can anyone provide us with an explantion please?

  • Fault found with opening balances output on Trial Balance report

    When running the Trial Balance report and adding "Opening Balances" and taking the "OB from Start of Fiscal Year" option, the relevant opening balances are not shown from the closing balance of the prior period.
    All balance sheet accounts should always show a "brought forward" balance if one exists, whereas P&L Accounts should only carry balances forward over monthend boundaries, resetting at the point of a yearend. This is not the output provided by the report.
    This issue has been checked on numerous patch levels (including the beta release of 2007a SP01 by a support consultant) and returns the same problem.

    Hi Julian,
    I checked the functionality by myself and I have two findings:
    1) that the Trial balance displays in the opening balance balances for the P&L accounts from previous period.
    2) On the other side there is a functionality "Add closing balances" on the Trial balance selection criteria with option "Closing balances before Selected Period Only" which would adjust the presented opening balances for P&L accounts in point 1.
    Based on your description I understand that Global Support Center knows about the issue, so I think the point 2 could be used as temporary workaround till the system is corrected.

    Report Name      ob cr     ob dr           dr                   cr                                  CL
    General Balance          614536     19237612.34            18650320.01     1201828.33
    Trial balanceB     4521743.19          19237612.34       13514040.82     1201828.33
    Is it possible  the open balnce should be same in both report. The opening balance as per GL report is correct.
    2)  I have run the period end closing for Apr- 2010 to Mar 2011 after that I generated the traial balance for Apr-1-2011 where the opening balances for expense account  and revenue account is showing technically after period end closing the balance become zero for all closing balance revenue and expenses accounts.
    Please note that there are some entries in revenue and expense account in on 1st apr. 2011.
    Please guide on this.

    Hi,
    I think you should re-visit the selection creteria for the Trial balance.
    The Display Opening Balance has two options. If you select from 'Start of Company activity', then it will include every balance of previous year.
    Check for the Display Closing balance option as well. As you have performed the Period End closing, the checkbox options can have an impact on the outcome in the report.
    Check the selection again.

  • Open Payable,Receivable & Trial Balance!!

    Hi Guys,
    I need your help in Trial Balances.
    Our company has aquired a small firm which does not use Oracle ERP.
    Now we are planning to merge them under Oracle EBS.
    My question is what information do we need to bring related to their
    trail balances so that we can reconcile GL with AP,AR & INV.
    1) Open Sales Invoices
    2) Open Payable
    3) Advance Payment
    is there any GL component related to this to be brought in??
    Thanks in advance
    Prashant Pathak

    1) Open & Pending PO
    No Accounting impact unless you have encumbrance. So you do not have to worry.The only thing you need to worry about is definition of open PO. If PO is received but not yet billed you ought to have accrual balance in your old system (assuming accrual basis of accounting). If you convert these POs, when invoice is matched to this PO (this is no receiving expected as goods are in inventory or consumed), you have to make sure to use the accrual account (it should default). It is kind of a mess as you have to train people carefully to look for holds, which one is received earlier which one is received now and so on. Ideally the value of these POs+AP invoice value conversion with the accrual account should match with you accrual balance in your GL conversion.
    2) Open & Pending SO
    No accounting impact.
    3) Open & Pending AR,AP Invoices ( may be we might close Open invoice's in old system)
    AP for liability and distribution accounts, I think you should use actual liability account and reclassify later in GL (reclassify the one that was converted in GL) and for the charge account, you should use dummy accounts as the account could be accrual or actual department charge account. As this will be coming in GL, just make sure that the values match.
    4) Open & Pending Receipt
    Not sure whether you will be using a dummy bank account or actual one (accounting for cash and clearing are derived from the receipt classes) for converting these receipts. If cash gets converted in the GL into actual cash account (sensitive topic and highly individualistic to each implementation), then you have to use dummy cash account. If not in GL you have to use dummy cash account.
    5) Customer
    No accounting impact
    6) Vendor
    No accounting impact
    7) Item
    No accounting impact
    8) On Hand Inv ( what about the cost of this inventory? How do we tackle this in GL?)
    In inventory when we covert we have no choice in choosing the material account (inventory account) as it is taken from organization (average cost) or subinventory (standard cost) so on. Hence we cannot change that. The only thing we can change is the account we pass while doing on-hand conversion. Usually we call this guy as Inventory Clearing account. Depending on your set up (different inventory accounts for different organizations) you have to use different clearing accounts.
    So in inventory conversion you generate
    Dr Inventory account
    Cr Inventory Clearing Account.
    In GL you bring in the value of inventory account into Inventory clearing account. When you transfer from inv to gl, clearing account gets squared off.
    Thanks

    1. Take List of all applied Invoices of the Payment
    2. Check the status of those invoices. Each one of them should be in status 'Accounted'
    3. If not,Identify the problem with the Invoice and Clear that. The problem may be Invoice adjustment(adj to Paid invoices allowed).
    4. Try running Create Accounting again.
    5. If the problem persists still, it conveys us that the Transactions were struck in loop and can be resolved only by using UPDATE command.
    6. Contact Oracle for Data fix
