5. If you have Plant Maintanance also, ensure wage rates are maintained
    for activity/cost center combination in KP26, if you are tracking wage
    cost as secondary cost element.
6. Ensure maintaining the version else sometimes your Payroll also may not work.
7. S_ALR_87003642 - Open and Close Posting Periods
8. After Board meeting and when the Balance Sheet is approved you do the rest viz.,
    FAGLGVTR, F.07
9. Asset Accounting related transactions can even be done after 1st April.
The above would be carried out naturally in Production client. Since we would be posting certain transactions in testing clients also it is advisable to do the above in testing clients also.

you go live on the SAP payroll system in the middle of a financial year, you have an option to transfer your legacy data into the SAP payroll system.
The system provides the schema INLK for transferring your legacy data. For this purpose, you need to perform the following IMG activities:
Define the payroll periods for which you want to transfer the legacy data. For more information, refer to the IMG under Payroll India -> Legacy Data Transfer -> Define Periods for Import
Define the type of data you want to import. For more information refer to the IMG under Payroll India -> Legacy Data Transfer -> Define Pay Elements for Import
Upon execution along with the payroll driver, the schema INLK formats the information defined in the above tables as payroll results and stores the values in the database table PCL2.
For more information on the Legacy Data Transfer functionality, refer to OSS note number 506128.

Issue in year end closing

Hi
I have an issue in year end closing. What would be effect if i do not clear the open items in GR/IR Account as part of year end acitivity. The balance in my GR/IR Account is zero as of my balance sheet date.
What would happen if i run the balance carry forward program?
Regards
Sanil Bhandari

This program will reclassify the entries for the Balance sheet reporting. Since your balance is zero there should not be any impact on the reporting side. Whether you run this program or not it will not have any impact on the balance carry forward program. Since these entries will get reversed at the beginning of the next period in any case.
The config setting will be in OBYP
The following config document may help you in better understanding.
Define Adjustment Accounts for GR/IR Clearing
The goods receipt/invoice receipt (GR/IR) clearing account is posted to whenever you receive goods that have not been invoiced yet or whenever you receive invoices for goods that have not been delivered yet.
In this activity you define the numbers of the adjustment and target accounts for the automatic postings for the GR/IR clearing account.
Transfer postings have to be made at the balance sheet date to reflect the goods invoiced but not delivered and the goods delivered but not invoiced. The program that analyzes the GR/IR clearing account adjustments this account by posting any outstanding amounts to an adjustment account. It makes the offsetting entry to the account for goods delivered but not invoiced or to the account for goods invoiced but not delivered (target account).

How to clear all open GRIRs in the year end and maintained as provision ?

Hi Friends,
I would like to clear all open GRIRs in the year end and maintained as provision.
in the next year next day i would like to show as open items.
How can do it ?
I have tried to clear it. I have maintained OBYP settings also. But i am unable see as clear item.
Could you explain me how it actuallly works ?

Hi REddy,
In most of the cases, the GR/IR account will have a credit balance and would be taken as provision for liability during year end activites. So as a standard practise you need to clear them on year end.
but if you want to clear them, first you need to deselect check box Post automatically only for GR/IR clearing GL's master data.
Then pass a adjustment entry like
GR/IR GL Dr
To Provision for Liabilites GL: Cr
Above sample entry is true when your GR/IR account has a CR balance at the year end. if not post it in a reversed manner.
Now with tcode F-03, for GR/IR GL, choose all items and clear them. Now you will get the clearing doc number.
Now on start of new FY, reverse the above accounting entry with FB08.
This will meet your requirement.
Thanks,
Srinu

Turkey: year end close RFSUMB00 / fiscal year variant

Hello guys,
I am wondering if anyone of you have had this requirement before.
Running RFSUMB00 on a Turkish company code will blow away the balances from all G/L accounts so that each individual account has a balance of 0.
Questions:
1. How do you manage revenue accounts (cost element categories 11 and 12). A pure cost centre is not enough as CO account assignment. You can switch off error message KI 166 (so that no COPA documents are then created), but is this really wanted?
2. If each individual account has a balance of 0 at year end, how to create a B/S and P/L for that year? Especially, for previous years? The only thing that comes to my mind is using special periods (13 to 16), but.... -->
3. ...in our system, the FI fiscal year variant is not K4, but a custom variant. The fiscal year (of the group) does not end on 31st December. I have a small FI-SL application running in the background (with K4 assigned there), and I could change the FI-SL period to 13 during the document transfer easily, but I ask myself why I do not post all of these funny closing documents directly in FI-SL then? This would save me from the usage of dummy assets/customers/vendors and the continous changes made to the "automatic postings only" flag (SKB1-XINTB).
Turkey experts, any hints welcome. What are your best practices?
Thank you,
Csaba

Yes frank,
GL closing should be carried only after all the sub ledgers are closed
for asset closing
you should open the new fiscal year first (AJRW) and then close the existing fiscal year. (AJAB)
otherwise FI-AA and Fi-GL may not reconcile (use tcode ABST2 to check this)

Open documents and year end closing.

Hi experts,
I would like to know if it is necessary to close all open documents before we start the year end process.
Since practically it is not possible to close all open documents.
here open documents refer to Purchase orders, GRPO's, Sales orders, deliveries etc.
kindly suggest.

hi ajith,
Purchase orders,sales order won't have any impact on accouting which will only
effect ordered,committed quantities.
GRPO can be kept open in case when there is orginal bill is yet to be sent by vendor.
Production orders which are open(ie) production completed - should be closed atleast
before year end so that it can't avoid unnessary WIP variance posted in next fiscal year,
because production orders will post JE's only on Actual Closing Date.

GL balances differences between Year end closing and opening balances

Hi friends,
One GL account balances showing differences between year end closing & year opening balances.
Example: 2006 closing balance is 250000 $
2007 opening balance is 150000 $
difference is 100000 $ . why should coming like this. already completed balances carryforward (F.16) in 2006 & 2007 year.
any programe for this solution ?
One more point is just 2 days back i posted 2 entries for 2006 year equal to 100000 $ . after this entries shall we need go for F.16 (carry forwarded balances).
please do the needful. It is very urgant issue.
Raj

HI,
There shouldn't be any more postings to a GL Account once Balance carry forward has been executed.
If postings have been made then you should execute the Balance carry forward again, otherwise you will see difference in opening and closing GL balance (as mentioned by you).
