U2018All Accounts Type Assetu2019 approach in BPC

Hi BPC Experts,
Could you, please, help us to assess the impact of using only AST-type (Asset Type) accounts in our data model to represent all types of accounts (Assets, Liabilities, Revenue and Expenses). One reason is that our key users and all of them are accountants would like to keep control on the Dr/Cr signs during data input, including cases when data is negative for Assets and positive for Liabilities. And another reason is that key users would like to have the ability to analyze data in BEx Analyzer. I already see the impact on the IC Matching function.
Could you, please, help us to understand whether the u2018All Accounts Type Assetu2019 approach is possible in BPC and the impact of using this approach?
Thanks.
Mila

Hi Mila!
It is difficult to value the results of this act. Many system delivered logics will not work correctly at least.
On the other hand, your key users will keep control on the Dr/Cr signs and can do BEx reports if you leave standard account types.
Could you show/explain real-world example when your propouse is needed?

Significance of Account Type EXP,LEQ,INC,AST in BPC- Need some valid reason

Hi,
I have a question why we need account type in BPC. Is there really any Business significance for maintaining Account Type ?
Account type LEQ, INC it behaves differently while load data/display data as sign change happens in SAP Back end. Major issue comes when you try to create a re-concillation report using BEX tool for LEQ, INC accounts in BPC and BI cube as you need to reverse the sign in BEX side for any calculation or any data match for INC and LEQ accounts.
My implication is : Is there anything wrong if we take all accounts as EXP account type because what data comes from other source/Input schedule remain as such for all accounts. There will be no Discrepancy/confusion of sign while in reporting in BI side or BPC side. You can follow normal calculation process if you have calculated any item in the report and does not bother about the account type and behaves same as the BI cube data.
Any idea or any issue if the above implication is implemented. I need some concrete reasons for the above issue as it create a extra headache/confusion in BPC impementation project.
Thanks
Debasisha

Hi Debasish,
Lets take a simple example. Lets say you have revenue as INC, sales as EXP and Profit as INC. You enter values from input schedule as below
Acct    Type    Value entered in IS      Value in DB
Revenue   INC   400                   -400
Sales   EXP     100                  100
Lets say Profit is the parent, then the values will be
Profit   INC   -300
In the report, you will see the data as 300 (since profit is of type INC).
However, if you keep all as EXP, then
Acct    Type    Value entered in IS      Value in DB
Revenue   EXP   400                   400
Sales   EXP     100                  100
Profit    EXP                             500
The above data, as you can see, is incorrect. Now, for making it correct, you need to put a formula for Profit as Revenue - Sales. This looks easy, however, will become cumbersome with more number of members.
Hope you got the idea now.

Essbase API - Account Dimension - Account Type

Hello all,
I'm connecting to a cube that has an account dimension and I need to extract the account hierarchy for a given member name. What I did to get the member information is:
mbrSel = cube.openMemberSelection(null);
mbrSe.executeQuety("<OutputType Binary <SelectMbrInfo(MemberName, MemberAlias, ParentMemberName )"
, "@IDESCENDENTS (\"" + s_member + "\", 0)");
Now what I'm trying to get from this query is the account type(or the account aggregator). Is this information queryable?
Many thanks!
Rafael

In BPC, "Account" can be interpretted fairly generic. Yes each application requires an account dimension and each account dimension member must be assigned a valid account type (Asset, Liab, Equity, Rev, Cost) property. But that is the extent of the restrictions. So in is not uncommon to see the account dimension be used to represent the vendor, the customer, the material, or a key figure. That last option may be necessary if you want to track "statistical key figures" or various types of quantities in your application. Just be sure to utilize the right account type attribute assignment to result in the correct sign handling and accumulation logic for your data.

Trying to change account type in MAIL to allow POP3 to connect to my Yahoo?

Can anyone help me with this mail feature...
I am trying to add my yahoo mail account to the MAIL option/ feature on my MAC, and it is not letting me without signing up to Yahoo Plus account.
However, I have found this site:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/bizmail/pop/pop-03.html
and
http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/tips/mail-settings.html
Which states you can enter it through POP3 account type.
I have tried this By going to MAIl> PREFERENCES> ADD ACCOUNT.
then when I add in account type from the drop down menu it only has POP available and NOT POP3 option like it states in that web site to use.
And when I try to add the account I get this message:
Logging in to mail server “plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com” failed. This server may require an additional fee for Yahoo! POP access. For more information, visit Yahoo! Mail Plus. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.
So I have tried to continue and just add the outgoing and ingoing info that the site stated and I still can't get it to work. I think the main problem is getting the POP changed to POP3?
How do I do this. So I can use my yahoo account on the MAIL feature.
Is there a new updated MAIL feature? I have the MAIl Version 4.1 (1076)?
Does this only let you use Yahoo Plus mail? I don't want to upgrade since it charges you a fee to have this e-mail account.
Any information?
Kelli

So at the previously mentioned web-site: It stated
Yahoo! Mail Settings
Yahoo Mail offers standard POP3 access for receiving emails incoming through your Yahoo mailbox, by using your favorite email client software. To setup your email client for working with your Yahoo account, you need to select the POP3 protocol and use the following mail server settings:
Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110)
Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25)
POP Yahoo! Mail Plus email server settings
Yahoo Plus Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
Yahoo Plus Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 465, use authentication)
The top one--- I thought is for regular Yahoo mail and the other is for Yahoo Plus mail?
SO this is not correct there are not 2 different servers? The only way to get it is by signing up through Yahoo Plus? Wow I thought there was a different way.
thanks~

Do not enter an account number for a masked account type

Good Morning
1)
I am trying to give some account number in open / close posting period window. From acount field (Lower limit of the G/L account numbers ) is not accepting the value. I have also tried with ZZZZZ and many other options. Can any one help what could be he reason ?
This is the Error Message
Do not enter an account number for a masked account type
2) Who is responsible to create the Authorization Group? What is FICO consultant role here ?
Eg: I want to give some privileges to one of the users in Management to open and close the posting period for all the nominals for all posting periods.
who creates the Authorization Group
Regards
Amar

Hi,
1, For account group the error may be comimg because already data is created. In lower limit donot enter ZZZZZ as it is considered as the highest value. You can try the lowest account number.
2. Creating a role is job of bais based on the FICO tcode given by FICO consultant. For special privilages to a role you can ask to basis guy to create a separate role and assign to user.

Does anyone have documentation regarding the distribution accounting type of APAF?

The AP Accounting Entry Type (distribution accounting type) as delivered by PeopleSoft we are most familiar with is "APA" which stands for Accounts Payable Accrual. We are not able to find any reference or documentation regarding AP Accounting Entry Type "APAF". However, after analyzing the AP payment accounting transactions associated with APAF, we believe that the APAF type only shows up when a credit is deducted from a payment. The AP voucher that has the APAF type is the last voucher that indicates that the entire credit amount has been applied to that particular payments. A credit amount may take several vouchers to be fully applied. Documentation or authoritative information would be helpful.

Thanks
Raj

Hi
Hope you are doing this in test server
If this is a real time issue this needs to be addressed by a FI consultant
First see for your company code what is the posting period varient maintained in OBY6
Say if it is 1000
Then in OB52
Maintain a setting like this
1000-S-BLANK-ZZZZZZZZZZ-1--2010122010-13--201016--2010
Then save it
This is for Account type S that is GL accounts
Preferably maintain the same for A, + , D, K, M, V

I had this problem - it appeared to be due to having Firefox 4 with the Firefox Sync installed as an add-on. Firefox 4 has sync included so there is no need to have it as an add-on. I went to the add-on manager and removed Firefox Sync and now appears to be working correctly.

Change GL Account Type from Balance Sheet Account to P&L Statmt Account

Hi Experts's
We have mistakenly defined the GL account as type Balance Sheet Account type and Some postings are done on this GL, we need to change it to P&L Statmt Account, When we do that it's throwing message FH602, as below.
Change balance sheet control in spite of account balance
     Message no. FH602
Diagnosis
     You have changed the G/L account from a "balance sheet account" to a
     "P&L account" or conversely.
     The balance of the account is, however, not zero.
Procedure
     Check your entries.
     If the G/L account was already posted in the previous year, execute the
     balance carryforward again for the current fiscal year. (program
     SAPF011).
Please let me know the procedure to do this change, or do i have to run any report.
Thanks

HI
If you are mid-year please try this:
Balance sheet having 10000 credit balace
try to post like this manually
Balance sheet account dr 10000
to Profit and loss account 10000
now tick the Profit and loss account and reverse the entry
try this in test environment first

Account type "iCloud" not available on my iCal

I'm trying to sync up my iCal with my iPhone, etc. However, while I can put an event in iCal, it will not show up on my iPhone/iPad, etc. When I go to iCal>Preferences>Accounts>+>Account Type and hit the dropdown menu, the only options I see are "Automatic / CalDAV / Exchange 2007 / MobleMe / Google / Yahoo!" There is no option for "iCloud".
When I try to create a calendar under "MobleMe" using my apple ID, I get the following error message:
The server responded with an error.
Access to account “[email protected]” is not permitted.
The server responded:
“HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden”
to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.
I know I'm using the correct apple ID and password. I'm running iCal 4.0.4. Any idea what's up?

No, I am using a G5 not I g3. I forgot to change it

It only shows this one computer on the above question. On my wife it only shows hers. Is it supposed to show both? If so how do I add them?
Merle,
I do not know why it worked with the Address Book and
not the Calendar. That confuses me too
If so, you may want to ensure that you have Reset

backed up your database (iCal>File>Backup
Database...) As stated in the Reset article, "If you
sync between computers with different versions of Mac
OS X, try to reset the sync data from the computer
with Mac OS X 10.4, if possible." I am using the same systems: 10.4.6
