Vendor Reconciliation & Asset Reconciliation Account

Dears
I am a little confused regarding the reconciliation accounts.
We are making for Asset Config settings for down payment posting.  I selected downpayment account for Asset Downpayment in AO90; but the system says the GL is not a reconciliation account.
When I saw the GL account, it is created as a Vendor Reconciliation account.
But in AO90 I think, we should give an Asset Reconciliation Account, right ?
If that is the case, why we should have separate reconciliation account for Vendor and Asset in Downpayment posting for Assets ?
When we post the Vendor Downpayment in F-48 using Spl. GL indicator 'A' , we are assigning the PO number also where asset is linked.
Spl-GL 'A' is linked to a reconciliation account for vendor.
Asset downpayment is also linked to a reconciliation account for asset.
If that is the case, which downpayment account, the advance amount for asset is posted ?

Hi Niki
I personally dont like updating the Down Payments for assets in Asset Accounting.. It is inviting troubles w/o much of value-add.. If you post DP to asset, then Invoice and you dont clear the DP, the depreciation is calculated on Invoice amount + DP Amount
Ofcourse, it gets adjusted in future depreciation runs once you clear DP. But if you clear in subsequent FY, then thats a problem
In order to avoid updating DP in AA, follow the below steps
1. Create a new FSG as a copy of G067 in which you will suppress the Asset Number
2. Assign this FSG in Vendor recon accounts
3. Do F-47 and enter the PO Number..
4. System will give an error msg F5 378..
5. Suppress it in OBA5, and you are done..
I remember this till date because this was one of my initial findings / learnings in my SAP Career ;-)

  • Vendor reconciliation account - general vendor to vendor of assets

    Hi,
    I have created a vendor that can be either vendor of services and vendor of assets, therefore I have only one reconciliation account (operationnel reconciliation account).
    At the end of the month, how is it possible to make the reconciliation change automatically into a vendor of assets? I have ticked the box in the invoice saying that the purchase is an investment.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Ronan

    Hi Ronan,
    I think that the Special G/L Indicator will be useful for your purpose, you will post FI-AP document with GL Account maintened in the Vendor master data (FD03) and post FI-AA document by using Special G/L Indicator.
    So if you'll choose this solution, you'll have to create a new Special G/L Indicator (e.g : ' A ') and assign the appropriate account to this indicator (Tcode : OBXT).
    Create a substitution (Tcode : GGB1) can be another solution.
    Regards.

  • One Vendor and two Reconciliation Accounts?

    Hi All,
    I have to post the invoices sent by a certain Vendor into two Reconciliation Accounts, according to the type of purchase (the Vendor makes two types of activity).
    Unfortunately, in the master data of the vendor (company data) I can fill in only one Reconciliation Account ...
    Could anyone suggest me a solution?
    Thanks
    Gandalf

    Hi,
    As mentioned in the mails below, to achieve this you have to define alternative accounts wherin you mention that against a particular econ account mentioned in your Vendor master what all Recon account are allowed.
    Secondly, in your Vendor master data also you have to tick the Recon Account ready for input tick. This will ask for a recon account whenever you enter entry in that vendor account.
    Thirdly for control purposes you can either write a validation for the recon account that you are entering in the Vendor master data that no postings can be made in this recon account. By this system will always ask you for an alternate account and that will help you.

  • Asset Reconciliation Account

    Hello Experts-
    I fell in a tricky situation at my work place. We have an asset reconciliation account which has a balance but, this balance does not correspond to any asset. When SAP Fixed assets was implemented here, they had a balance for this account and then have converted it into a reconciliation account. How do I create an asset which represents that balance as APC value? Or how would I transfer it from this reconciliation account to a clearing account so that I can create a real asset and transfer this APC to a real asset?
    Any thoughts on this issue would be really appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    RNarayan

    Hi,
    To post the balance values from the take over values from AS91 on the Asset Reconciliation Account
    You can use transaction:
    OASV
    ABFI (use transaction type 100 and don't fill in an asset number)
    The postings on these account are total postings by bussines area and there is no 1:1 relation with assets like with debtors and credititors. (when you run the depreciation it create total amounts

  • Link Asset class to an Asset Reconciliation GL Account

    Hi Everyone,
                      i want to specify a new Asset Class to a Particular Asset Reconciliation Account, which i have created in FS00 and also mentioned as a Reconciliation account in OAMK. can anyone help me where  can i go and do this ?I am using ECC 6
    Thanks & Regards,

    Account determination key is maintained in asset class. Using AO90 transaction code you need to maintain GL Accounts for Acquisition as well as other accouonts against account determination.

  • Tax Category Indicator on Asset Reconciliation Accounts

    Does setting the tax indicator flag to '*' have any affect on reconciliation postings to an Asset Reconciliation account?

    Hi,
    Generally tax indicator "-" (Only input tax allowed) is set in Asset Reconciliation accounts.
    Setting * for the same will also suffice.
    The tax indicator setting is required as the asset acqusition process is done through asset purchase in MM. for that purpose the  input taxes will be calculated.
    I hope this answers your query.

  • How to post externally to asset reconciliation account

    Hi,
    I need to post one entry externally to asset reconciliation account & I dont want to update asset due to that entry. How to do that?
    Pl. help. I will award points for suitable answer.
    Thanks
    Veena

    You are permitted to post the recon account undercertain special circumstances :
    USe the transaction codes OAMK and OASV.
    Kindly read the SAP on line documentation before making a postings directly to the recon account.
    Definition of the Reconciliation Accounts
    You are not allowed to manually post to the reconciliation accounts for Asset Accounting in Financial Accounting. Normally, you designate the corresponding General Ledger accounts in Financial Accounting as reconciliation accounts. This change, however, can no longer be made in Financial Accounting, once these accounts already have balances from the legacy data transfer. However, you can use a special report to assign these accounts the status of reconciliation accounts in Financial Accounting (in Customizing for Asset Accounting, choose Preparing for Production Startup ® Production Startup ® Set Reconciliation Accounts).
    There is another report for removing this specification (Reset Reconciliation Accounts).
    Subsequent Correction Postings to Reconciliation Accounts
    Suppose you have already defined the asset G/L accounts in Financial Accounting as reconciliation accounts, but still need to transfer balances to these accounts, or make corrections. You can make correction postings to these reconciliation accounts with a special posting transaction in Customizing for Asset Accounting (Transfer Balances), using posting key 40 or 50. You can only postings to those accounts in a company code with implementation status (Customizing for Asset Accounting, choose Preparing for Production Startup ® Production Startup ® Activate Company Code).

  • What is asset reconciliation account.

    What is asset reconciliation account. Is this like other reconciliation accounts like A/P and A/R. How can we use it.

    Hi
    GL for Asset as Reconciliation is defined in FS00
    Account determination rule is defined under SPRO - FAg - AAg - Org structures - Asset classes
    The A/c determination is included in the Asset class
    In AO90 GL a/c is assigned to Account determination rule
    Finally, Asset master is created under a Asset class thru AS01
    Thank You,

  • APC Posting to Assets Reconciliation Account

    Hi Experts,
    We are currently working with AS91 and AS94 legcay data Transfer. The acquisition is completed, we gave acquisition values in Dep Area 01 (Book Depreciation Area), Do we also need to reset the Assets reconciliation account and post the APC values to them? Or the 01 acquistion values will automatically post to Assets reconciliation accounts and how?
    What is to be done?
    Please guide.
    Best Regards
    VK

    Thanks Krishna,
    OASV does not provide the option of document and local curreny. We would like to force the values from Local currency to group currency disregarding the exchange rates.
    So after restetting the reconciliation account we will post using F-02.
    Any negative impact?

  • Error in Assets Reconciliation

    HI
    I have problem in Assets reconciliation. i.e, actually my go live date is 30.06.2008 by that time we have uploaded all the legacy values and tallied TB ,Balance Sheet all GL wise balances between legacy and SAP. Now we are doing reconcliation for 2008 fiscla year. while reconciling the acquistions during the year of 2008 incluing the acquistion valued which we have uploaded as on 30.06.2008 and lateral acqusitions from July ,2008 to 31.03.2009 the AR05 balances are are not matching with Asset GL value (FAGLL03)  report because,whcih  Assets values were updated (  opening legacy Assets) in AR05 report . I found the documents which are giving the problem and  I try to find the accounting document from AW01N I got the meesasge "It is not possible to display  document from financial Accounting" because of this,  values are not matching for GL report and Asset report. . I have found all such kind of documents. but  how to rectiy thos documents.
    my analysis is if probelm come that is only between SAP and Legacy vlaues but not in both SAP reports ie.,( FAGLL03 and AR06)
    this probelm only occured for legacy uploaded assets
    early response is height appreciated
    thanks
    Tulasi

    The legacy values uploaded in fixed assets through transaction AS91 cannot be seen in any FI document since the values have been directly uploaded in fixed assets and not in FI. The FI balances to GL accounts are uploaded through transaction OASV which makes corresponding GL accounts posting equal to Asset balances AS91 posting.
    Try to compare the acquistion values (net book value) in RABEST01 report by entering a particular Asset-acquistion recon GL account in Further selections tab for 31.03.2009. Compare tis value with FS10N display of balances for the same GL account. Check if any postings have been done in special periods i.e 13 to 16 in FS10N. These will not be reflected in RABEST01 but balance as of end of normal periods i.e period 12 should agree between RABEST01 and FS10N.

  • ABST2 - Asset Reconciliation

    Dear Gurus,
    In my company not yet run march depreciation, when i run ABST2-Asset Reconciliation with GL
    system not created any log.
    Please let me know what would be the problem.
    Regards
    Sreenivas.P

    Hi
    Maybe there is no reconciliation issues. Thats why you do not see any error log
    Not running depreciation for a period is not going to affect both account posting and in asset posting. So that should not be an issue
    Thank You,

  • Asset recon account

    hi,
    hope to get advice by point form.
    1 may i know why acquisition account and accumulated depreciation account is reconciliation account?
    does it mean both of them is reported in GL whereas the asset is in asset module just like customer number sitting in AR and customer recon account sitting in GL?
    2 may i know why accumulated depreciation account is a reconciliation account? i know that depreciation account is p&l but why accumulated depreciation account is a recon account?
    thanks

    Hi,
    Asset acquisition is similar to customer/vendor in the way that it really does not matter what is the actual asset you are buying as far as finance is concerned.  As long as depreciation is going to be similar, all the assets in that depreciation bracket can be grouped together.  Hence at the ledger level it is just 1 balance sheet account for similar kind of assets.  Hence asset acquisition account is a balance sheet account/recon account and this is assigned to the asset.
    Similarly cumulative depreciation is a provision for depreciation account and also it is the depreciation for the total life period of the asset.  Hence it cannot be P/L account as it will include all the fiscal years and is not just an expense.  It is a liability.  Hence it is a balance sheet account.  Moreover similar to acqusisition account it can be common for all similar kind of assets.  Hence it is an asset recon account.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • Asset GL accounts not getting picked up in ABST2 run

    Hi,
    There are few asset GL accounts i.e APC and AccDep accounts which are not getting picked up in ABST2 run. What could be the reason? Please advise as to how can we ensure that we get a spool of all the GL accounts post ABST2 run.
    Thanks,

    Are the missing GL accounts set up as asset reconciliation accounts go to FS03, enter GL account number, and go to control data tab, field recon account for account type should be A for Assets.

  • Dep.is calculated on the Adv. payment to vendor for asset purchase.

    Dear Friends,
    When i am giving advance to a vendor with refference of asset through trasaction F-48, that advance amount is showing as Aquisation value in the asset register (AR02 & AW01N) transaction and the depreciation as also calculated for that amount.
    But i don't want to calculate the depreciation on that advance value and  i also don't want to show that advance value in AR02 & Aw01N report.
    Please advice me if any other solution is available except Advance to vendor for asset will treate as advance to AUC and at the time of actual GR we transfer AUC to main asset.
