Valuation clearing account

Can anyone explain me what is the use of Valuation Clearing Account ? Transaction code 8KEN
Documentation in IMG says
In this step you specify profit and loss accounts for valuation
differences that arise in business transactions between group companies.
What kind of value differences there might be? Currency differences?

This is part of PCA (Profit center accounting). The system is asking you to setup accounts because you may have differences that arise from a cross-company deliveries between two profit center balance sheet accounts. Therefore, this can only be cleared using a valuation transfer account. This account is also required if you have differences in transfer pricing. Hope that helps.

GL account error Valuation Clearing Account for multiple valuations

Hi
I am trying to configure multiple valuations. There is one path:

Further i entered trading partner 100001 which is assigned to company code as a 'company' and in the GL account in trading partner. Now when i entered the GL account in above path, it gave following error:

Foreign currency valuation for GR/IR clearing account is repeatedly posting

While executing foreign currency valuation (program SAPF100) through T code F.05 the following fields are selected for the spotted rate valuation for currency type 10.
A)     Valuate G/L account open items
B)     Evaluate GR/IR account (GR/IR clearing account is selected)
C)     Valuate customer open items
After execution the valuation postings are repeated in GR/IR FC valuation Balance sheet adj account while the postings in other accounts occur only once.
GR/IR FC valuation Balance sheet adjustment account is configured in OB09 for GR/IR account for respective currency type and local currency.
What could be the reason for repeated postings in FC valuation account?

I think there is some issue with the process, normally vendor/customer reconciliation account or some liability assets related account which has impact due to foreign currency rate changes needs to be revaluated. I don't understand why you have set up foreign currency valuation for GR/IR account, these are intermediatory account which reflects in system between for example GR and IR.
I also think that you need more information on foreign currency valuation, basically it happens on a particular key date and gets reversed on key date + 1, because revaluation is only required on a key date for reporting purposes. on the next day it get reversed and actual loss or profit on foreign currency only gets booked on realization.
Hope this helps!!!

Separate GR/IR clearing account for non material

HI,
In the business, already an account is being used as GR/IR clearing account (WRX) for non material receipts (Non material means there is no material code exists in the system but at the time of PO a description is updated manually).
There are in all two plants and at present all the non material values are getting posted to the same GI/IR clearing account. The requirement is to have a separate GR/IR clearing account for both the plants.
Please note that its related to non material only and there is no material code hence no valuation class can be defaulted. Also if valuation class is kept "blank", the system allows only one entry of account.
Please let me know if any exist is available on this.
Best Regards

Hi
It can be done by defining different valuation grouping code for both the plants in OMWD. Then for the respective valuation grouping codes you can maintain different GL accounts in OBYC
Thank You,

Hi,
We are using one Gr/ir clearing account for both Material and Service Entry sheet process.
Now for clear process we want to create new account for the Service entry sheet.
We have given blank valuation class for Service entry sheet and it has been assigned to the g/l account.
After analysing the scenario we had two options.1. Whether we can change the valuation class
or 2. we can create new G/l account.
But i had a doubt will it impact anywhere if i change the valuation class.
Can anybody advice me??
Thanks n regards,
Veena

Dear Javeed and Sadhashivan,
Thanks for your answers. Yes we have sort key set on both the accounts and also we have tried to display all the PO relevent fields but unable get through.
Please note we need PO no line wise on the ledger of adjustment accounts NOT on the GR/IR account.
1) Goods Delivered but not yet invoiced
2) Goods Invoiced but not yet Delivered
Hope I have made my point clear.
Thanks

Gr/ir clearing account difference

i what cases gr/ir clearing account from migo can be differ from gr/ir clearing account from miro.
suppose at the time of migo gr/ ir clearing account credited with 100 rs then at the time of miro can it be debited with 80 or 120? i
f it can then plz tell me the cases.

Hi
The system makes postings to GR/IR clearing accounts at the time of goods receipt. If, for example, the delivered quantity for a purchase order item is not equal to the invoiced quantity, there is a balance on the GR/IR clearing account.
The person responsible for account maintenance lists the purchase order history with the differences. In order to archive invoice documents, the difference must be cleared. If the balance is not cleared by more goods receipts, return deliveries, invoices, or credit memos, the person responsible for account maintenance has to clear the difference manually.
For GR/IR maintenance refer Tcode-MR11.
MR11 is designed to show the GRs that have not yet been fully invoiced and the invoices that have not yet been fully received.
In any normal business situation there will always be some invoices for items that have not yet been received and some receipts that have not yet been invoiced. But MR11 is designed to be used to clear the OLD ones that are probably NEVER going to be completed.
So you would run MR11 with a date in the past (a few months old normally) and anything that has still got a balance (either way) could indicate that you will never get these cleared no matter how long you wait.
So you can use this transaction to clear these documents.
The best way to use it is to run it firstly with very small tolerances (value and value percentage) and very old dates. For example any PO older than 6 months that has a balance of less than 10 USD. You would prepare the list intially (without update) and see the proposed effect. If you were happy with this you can then run it in update mode and clear those documents. This will post any outstanding values correctly and close down the PO.
For example if you had a PO where you had received 99 and the invoice was for 100, the system would increase the stock value of those 99 by 1 to reflect that we paid 100 for those 99 items (and close the PO)
Similarly if you received 100 and were invoiced for 99 the clearing would reduce the stock value by 1
Both examples are affected by the valuation type (Std price or MAP) but the end result is the same.
After running it like this with small differences, the only uncleared items left would be the recent ones, or the "old" ones that have a bigger difference. You can then run MR11 with larger tolerances, view what would happen and either re run the same selection with update instead of list and clear these.
You would eventually finish up with a manageable number of POs that don't balance and the value difference is quite large. You would then have to decide if you want to leave them as they are and wait for the open amount to be invoiced (or GRd), or you can manually clear them by selecting the individual line and then selecting the clear from the menu options.
At the end of this process you should only have POs that are awaiting further postings.
You would also have to financially clear the entries that have been cleared in MR11 but this would be via the normal financial clearing transactions.
reward if helps,

GR/IR Clearing Account for Material & Asset

Hi,
We want to maintain different GR/IR Clearing Account for Materials & Assets.
Pls. guide.
Regards,

Hi
In case of asset - we define account determination in asset master which is like stock account for material. But if you use purchase order then for asset you use account assignment category as A - it means it is like account assigned purchase order. So all goods reciept credit on these POs will go to GR/IR account created without valuation class. Same time if you donot maintain service masters then goods receipt will go to same account (no valuation class). So either you need to define service materials or use same account for both.
Thanks

GR/IR Freight Clearing Account - GR & Invoice Verification

Dear Gurus,
I have made a PO for 1200 pcs unit price 69.20$. (GR based IV).   (Valuation - Moving average price)
Delivery costs - Freight (FRB1) - 1200$
I have splitted the PO quantity in to 3 different Inbound deliveries
Inbound 1 - 400 pcs
Inbound 2 - 400 pcs
Inbound 3 - 400 pcs
I have made the Goods receipt for the 1st Inbound - 400 pcs.
Goods Receipt 1 - 400 pcs. The value in the GR/IR freight clearing a/c credited by 400$
Invoice Verification1 - 400 pcs. The value in the Invoice verification is 1000$.
The value in the GR/IR freight clearing a/c debited by 1000$
Goods Receipt2 - 400 pcs. The value in the GR/IR freight clearing a/c got credited by 400$
Invoice Verification2 - 400 pcs. The value in the Invoice Verification is 2000$
The value in the GR/IR freight clearing a/c got debited by 200$ and Stock in Hand debited by 1800$
Goods Receipt3 - 400 pcs. The value in the GR/IR freight clearing a/c got credited by 200$
Invoice Verification3 - 400 pcs. The value in the Invoice Verification is 1500$
The value in the GR/IR freight clearing a/c got debited by 133.33$ and Stock in Hand debited by 1366.67$
I don't understand how the logic works for seggreating the amount to GR/IR freight clearing account and GR/IR account.
For the first 2 GR and IV I could understand that there is a balance in the PO condition but for the Invoice verification 3. The value debited to GR/IR freight account is 133.33$. Can anyone help me how the calculation is taking place and how the system has arrived to figure 133.33$ in the Invoice verification for GR/IR freight clearing a/c
Strangely when I have cancelled the Invoice Verification document 3.
The value Credited to GR/IR freight clearing account is 333.33$ instead of 133.33$
Can somebody help me to figure out the calucation for IR after the GR for planned delivery costs.
If any SAP notes or help files can be provided then it would be really helpful.
Regards
Fazal.

Refer this note 311496 & 460244, 129066
Symptom
Delivery costs were planned for a purchase order item.
A goods-receipt-based invoice verification is set.
Several goods receipts are posted. For invoice entry, both in conventional invoice verification (transaction MR01/MRHR) and in logistics invoice verification (transaction MR1M/MIRO), the delivery costs for each purchase order item are displayed in total.
This is the same as when, for example, only one of several GR documents/delivery notes is selected.
Example of a purchase order history:
Cat. Doc. no.    Itm    MvT Pstg.dt.            Qty.in BUoM       Value in local curr
GR   5200002605 0001 101 June 16, 2000      5 PC         50,00 DEM

Total delivery cost GR                                                 16,66 DEM
If you only select the first GR document in the selection, you get
the following default values for the delivery costs:
Amount    Quantity BUoM Itm Decription              Vendor
6,67         10      PC 10    Freight value        VEND01
10,00        10      PC 10    Freight/quantity     VEND01
(and not, as sometimes expected: - 3,33 DEM    5 PC
                                    - 5,00 DEM    5 PC)
Other terms
WEBRE, delivery costs, planned delivery costs, goods-receipt-based invoice verification, invoice verification
Reason and Prerequisites
A function such as the goods-receipt-based invoice verification is not available for delivery costs.
Solution
This is not an error; this is a consulting note.

GR/IR clearing account getting debited during MIGO

We have a unique problem. We have created an Import PO with Acc assignment category as 'K'. Delivery costs captured. PO has been created with 1.00 GBP. Delivery costs are much higher. During GR GR/IR clearing account is debited. Please help. Everything in the PO is correct. How can we sort this?

Hi,
Have a look on the below SAP Notes, may be helpful for you,

GR/IR clearing account determination (procedure WRX)- IR before GR

Hello SAP gurus!
For a normal PO, when we do IR first, then GR, the posting of GR/IR clearing accounts are different. However, if we do the other way around, the accounts are the same.
<b>How can we clear these 2 accounts in PBS now?</b>
<b>Do we have solution to post in the same GL?</b>
Please advice.
Many thanks
Robert

well u need to test this in u rsanbox first to check the pros and cons but yes it can be done
and as i understand that u wish to have different g/l for particular plant then you need to have different valuation grouping code for that plant and in the wrx key u need to activate the valuation grouping code thing for this key and there u need to maintain the valuation grouping code of all the palnts
bu i doubt how far this will work cause u need to check if wrx is getting hit at gr or not and also check if invoiceing is happening correctly or not just make sure every thing works fine and test different scenerios for that

Error in MIRO-GR/IR clearing account getting picked automatically

Dear all,
We are having a problem in doing MIRO once we have moved to ECC 6.0. We are using Non valuated GRN. While doing MIRO system is automatically creating a line item with '0' value. Since we are not using Valuated GRN, we have blocked GR/IR Clearing account for posting. Due to this, it is giving error message. We dont want to open the GL account for posting since there is possibility of wrong postings to this account. If we open the GL account, it is allowing us to post invoice in MIRO. Please confirm what is the solution for this.
Regards
Suresh

Dear Paul,
Thanks for the reply. This is a workaround which we can use temporarily. But i want to address the route cause of the GR/IR clearing account appearing automatically only after ECC 6.0 upgrade. Does anyone know why it is appearing? Please let me know so that i can resolve this.
Regards
Suresh

Problem when change bank clearing account for payment posting.

We recently changed the bank clearing account for payment posting (program PC00_M99_PPM). But I found out because the config can only be changed but not delimited on payroll side, the program errored out when it retro back for an employee to the old clearing account. So what am I supposed to do to fix this problem?
Have anyone ever handled this problem before and could please throw some light on it?
Thanks in advance.

hi
check following
1. Check in OMWD, whether Valuation grouping code "0001" ia ssigned to Ur plant
2. OBYC - If you have assigned GR/IR Clearing A/c to WRX then check whether you have maintained it with combination of valuation class and GL A/c
If yes then maintain only GL A/c w/o valuation class OR maintain one entry with valuation class empty and GL A/c
check following

Differ in Exch appears while clearing account 1212 where no forecurren used

Hi All,
Please help me on this issue,
Difference in Exchange appears while clearing account 1212000 where no foreign currency is used.
Problem description: as one of my activities is clearing of account 1212000. On this account loan interests and its payment are recorded. All amounts are posted in EUR. No DIE should be recognized and while clearing this account there should be no impact on P&L:
However while clearing (doc no 20000503801 Difference in exchange in amount of 13.567,40 EUR (equal to 18.336,73 USD) were posted automatically on account 5432100.
As I have noticed while August closing this Diference in exchange will be automatically reversed late evening while valuation report is running:
I have two questions regarding this issue:
What is the reason that Difference in exchange appears for transactions performed in one currency. Is it designed on purpose or is it a spin-off effect of performed upgrade? Before upgrade there was not such an issue.
1.In case if these Difference in exchange remains will it be always reversed automatically while valuation?
Thanks in advance

Hi Raghavendra,
Yes, the SAP note is very helpful and it is indeed due to the one of the tax condition being processed and therefore its tax code flow down to the other non tax items.
I have tried to shift up the conditon type before the tax condition in the procedure, but i realised that it generate billing errors.
Initially, the sequence in my PP is
270     0     ZGX1     GST Pseudo 1
280     0     ZGSX     GST Exclusive
290     0     ZGXA     GST Absorb
300     0     ZGX2     GST Pseudo 2
310     0     ZGX3     GST Pseudo Diff.
The tax code comes from ZGSX, which is created as a tax condition type using ZGST as reference.
I tried to shift ZGX2 to step 275 below ZGX1 so that it will not inherit the tax code from ZGSX, but it gives billing error.
I tried moving ZGX1 down to step 295, but it also give billing errors.
When I removed the reference to ZGST for ZGX1, and change the calculation type to formula, it removes the billing errors. But I got zero values for both ZGX1 and ZGX2, even if i read table with key KSCHL = 'ZGSX'. I tried 'ZGST' with no success also. Good news is, the tax code in ZGX2 is gone.
Strangely, if i change the condition type of ZGX2 to reference to ZGST, and use the same formula as ZGX1, it does not gives billing error. But ZGX1 continue to be empty.
Can someone help me on this?
Thank you!
Albert Lee
