Vendor subsidiary ledger

Hi
Can anybody explain vendor subsidiary ledger
Thanks & Regards
Shammi

Hi Shammi,
The concept of vendor subsidiary ledger comes from Accounts Payable ( AP ) Module.
Ex: There is a GL Account "Sundry Creditors" in your GL a/c List. This particular GL account shows the balance of all Vendor a/c which which your company operates. So In your balance sheet, TB and other financial statements only the cumulative balance of all Vendors would be displayed.
If I ask what could be the break up of my Sundry creditors by Vendor wise, then I have to go to Accounts Payable sub mobule which is a sub ledger to your GL Module.
In Accounts Payable ( Sub ledger) you will find the break up by each vendor wise............
so in the above concept we can understadnd Vendor subsidiary ledger as each vendor a/c in AP.
Thanks

  • Vendor + Customer Ledger Balance

    Hello Experts,
    I am end user in Fico
    We are created some Vendor as a Customer through customer master because we are creating some scrap sales billing to the same vendor means customer.
    We have seen thier ledger balance as Vendor Bal. in Vendor Ledger and Customer Bal.in Customer Ledger.
    But need that the ledger will displayed in only Vendor Ledger alongwith customer line items and balance.
    Please give the guideline to solve this problem

  • Reconciliation Account in Vendor/Customer Master

    What is the function of reconciliation account in Vendor/Customer Master?
    Regards
    Kailash

    Hi
    The  reconciliation account in the master record records all postings made to a subsidiary ledger.When you post items to a subsidiary ledger, the SAP system automatically posts the same data to the general ledger at the same time. Each subsidiary ledger has one or more reconciliation accounts in the general ledger. These reconciliation accounts ensure that the balance of G/L accounts is always zero. This means that you can draw up financial statements at any time without having to transfer totals from the subledgers to the general ledger.
    You can use the reconciliation accounts to make settings:
    You can use the reconciliation account to configure the screens for posting items to customer or vendor accounts. Using the reconciliation account you could, for example, suppress the fields for entering exchange rate hedges if these types of transaction are not made.
    You can also use the reconciliation account to specify which currencies you can use when posting to the corresponding customer or vendor accounts.
    You usually enter the local currency in the master record. Postings can then be made in all currencies to the customer and vendor accounts that the reconciliation account is assigned to. However, you can also enter a foreign currency key in the master record of the reconciliation account. If you do this, you can only post to the relevant customer and vendor accounts in the foreign currency specified.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hello Srinujalleda,
    Thanks for your precious time.
    I tried the referred T-Code
    But this report is not showing Opening balance, closing balance detail.
    It only gives transactions during the specified posting period and total of it.
    Please guide me further in case if I need to give proper input at selection screen or elsewhere.

  • General Ledger - Revaluation/Translation Process Question

    Application Release Version: 11.5.10.2
    MRC: Not turned on for new entities. (See details below)
    My customer has been using oracle from around 2001 and went through a process at the end of 2008 to setup a new chart of accounts and approx 6 different companies with multiple entities for each across different functional currencies. (The initial setup for these entities was done prior to my joining and I have no supporting documentation on what decisions were made and why.)
    Setup info:
    Set of Books - 'Cumulative Translation Adjustment Account' defined as an 'Owners Equity Account'.
    Revaluation - Gains and Loss accounts using the same account number as 'Cumulative Translation Adjustment Account'. Accounts being revalued are accounts that have outstanding Payables and Receivables balances as well
    as our intercompany accounts that have outstanding balances. (Balances that need to be payed or received.)
    Question:
    My question refers to the revaluation and translation process for the new entites that have a different functional currency from the reporting currency. (All under the same chart of accounts structure.)
    For instance entity1 - Functional Currency = 'CAD' and has 'USD' transactions.
    I understand that at the period end we need to revalue the 'USD' transactions to there 'Current' worth in 'CAD' as exchange rates will fluctuate. But shouldn't the 'Difference', revaluation amounts, be pushed to the Unrealised FX Gains/Loss account, not the 'Cumulative Translation Adjustment Account'. (I think this is normally only used when a company is using MRC?)
    This obviously affects whether the period balance appears on the Balance Sheet or Income Statement report for the consolidated monthly report.
    Also should these 'Revaluation' journals ever be reversed or just left to accumulate?
    Then looking at the 'Translation' process, if value is pushed to the 'Cumulative Translation Adjustment Account' then the balance is translated based on the 'Average' period rate as the account is an 'Owners Equity Account', but this seems wrong for the 'Revaluation' balance to be converted at another rate?
    Any help on this subject will be greatly appreciated.

    Firstly, why would there be any difference between the total of customer/vendor sub-ledger balances and the balance on the reconciliation account(s)?  The posting to the reconciliation account is happening automatically right, when you are posting to a customer/vendor (basing on the reconciliation account assigned in the customer/vendor master)?  And system would not allow direct postings to reconciliation accounts, which eliminates the threat of reconciliation GL account going out of balance as compared to the sub-ledger accounts.
    However, you can run FBL3N or FS10N for the reconciliation account(s) and match it with the total balance on all customers/vendors using transaction FBL5N/FBL1N.

  • General ledger / sub ledger reconciliation, without new GL:

    Hi experts, hope you can help me with this quick question:
    My client is currently reconciling SAP General Ledger  and Subledger balances in excel spreadsheets, for Customer and Vendors.
    The reconciliation is as follows, when the postings are done on general ledger on a reconciliation account and on the correspondent sub ledger, the line items have to be checked on both to be sure that transfer has been done correctly. Currently this process if done by a Vlookup in Excel, using the reference number as join between the data extracted.
    We are running ECC6.0, without the new GL, do you know if there is a standard program to make this reconciliation, I will appreciate any documentation about this topic.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Global implementation leading ledger Belgian legal requirement

    We have a U.S. based implementation that is rolling out to Belgium, and we have the U.S. chart of accounts set as the leading ledger. The Belgian COA is a subsidiary ledger and is automatically updated. We have head that this might not comply with Belgian law, but we can only have one leading ledger, and we are planning on rolling out to other countries as well.
    What is the typical solution.
    Thanks

    Using the country specific COA for reporting is sufficient.

  • Recon Accounts assignment while creating a new GL Account

    Hey everybody,
    I was wondering if there is any global rule to which accounts should be selected as Recon A/c while creating a GL master in fs00. From my point of understanding the only Recon A/c's are Accounts Receivable as recon account :Customer and Accounts Payable as recon account: Vendor! So in which situation do we select Recon account : Asset or Recon account: Contract Account Receivable?
    If you could please help me figure this out, I would greatly appreciate.
    Thanks in advance.

    General ledger is the main accounting record of a business which uses double-entry bookkeeping. In SAP, the central task of G/L accounting is to provide a comprehensive picture for external accounting and accounts. Reconciliation Accounts are G/L accounts that receive postings from a subsidiary ledgers. Meaning, transactions data are not posted directly to recon accounts. Example of recon accounts are Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Fixed Assets G/L. For accounts receivable G/L the subsidiary ledger is the customer account. All transactions with the customers are posted directly to the customer account and the recon account is automatically updated. How this thing happen? Well, when you create a customer account you specify under the Company Code data the reconciliation account.

  • Item Category 'L' (Subcontracting)

    Hello,
    I would just like to ask if a UB-type PO (Stock Transfer Order) could have an item category 'L' which is Subcontracting. Currently, only item category 'U' (Stock Transfer) is available in the item category field when creating a UB-type PO through transaction ME21n.
    Do adding item category 'L' (Subcontracting) in the system's configuration for UB-type (Stock Transfer Order) PO makes any sense?
    Please let me know your thoughts regarding this matter.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    item category L made for only Subcontract cycle.we can not use L in UB by following reasons.
    When u use UB Doc type you can not enter SC Vendor in PO even after config L with document type UB,system shows supplying plant field.
    UB can be used in Plant to plant transfer or Company code to company code transafer or Storage location to storage location transfer.
    since in subcontracting cycle there is a involvement of SC vendor which has subsidiary ledger under reconciliation account and Goods issue (Components or BOM ) lying with SC vendor under special Stock, which will further consume useing movement type 543 during MIGO this functionality is not possible with UB.
    Hope this will clear your doubt.

  • Reconciliation Accounts

    Hi,
    Please some one explain what is Reconciliation Account? what is the purpose of it in IR and IP.
    Please guid me with example.
    Thanks,
    Pria.

    Reconciliaiton account in SAP terms is a General ledger and vendor or customer account is a subsidiary ledger.
    Under one reconciliation account of customer you can group n number of customer accounts.  Hence when you see a trial balance you can see total of all customer balances under this reconcilation account which is a general ledger.(F.01).  Through FBL5N you can see individual customer balances.

  • Cash Journal Branch creation concept

    Dear Friends,
    Can any one please explain about the Petty cash in sap.
    I did the set up in petty cash like creation of Branch account.
    Please help me to understand the actual concept of petty cash in sap. how its works in the system.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Mahendra

    Hi,
    Concept of Cash Journal:
    You can use the cash journal to manage cash transactions in your company. You can post cash receipts and cash payments, print receipts, and print out a cash journal. The cash journal in the R/3 System is a subsidiary ledger, which contains documents that are transferred from the cash journal to the general ledger in SAP FI. A cash journal is kept in one currency.
    The cash journal does not include functions for accepting and depositing checks.
    Each cash journal is assigned a G/L account to which the documents in the general ledger are posted.
    When a posting is made to a cash journal, the documents with the following document types are posted:
    Business transaction                                   Document Type
    G/L account postings                                      AB
    Vendor: incoming/outgoing payments     KZ
    Customer: incoming/outgoing payments     DZ
    You can create your own business transactions that have to be posted. In the cash journal transaction FBCJ, you can create, change, and delete business transactions.
    We can provide the following business transactions for cash journal accounting:
    Business transaction type
    E = Expenses
    D = Customer posting
    K = Vendor posting
    B = Payment to ICBC bank account
    B = Payment to BOC bank account
    C = Payment from bank account
    C = Payment to bank account
    R = Revenue
    Cash Journal Configuration steps:
    1. Create GL Account for Cash Journal (Post Automatically): FS00 or FS01
    2. Amount Limit: Path: IMG/FA/Bank Accounting/Business Transactions/Cash Journal
    3. Define Document Types for Cash Journal Documents - Tcode: OBA7
    4. Define No. Range Intervals for Cash Journal Documents- CJC1
    5. Set up Cash Journal - Tcode: CJC0
    6. Create, Change, Delete Business Transactions - Tcode: CJC2
    7. Set up Print Parameters for Cash Journal -  CJC3
    8. Cash Journal Posting : FBCJ
    Hope this helps you,

    what is the diff between general gl a/c, control a/c, reconciliation a/c & offsetting a/c.

    Hi,
    Normal GL Account is the account where the accounting entries are posted. GL Accounts will be broadly of two categories like Balance Sheet Accounts (Assets & Liabilities) and Profit & Loss Accounts (Income and Expenses).
    Reconciliation Accounts are used where a subsidiary ledger is maintained. For example for Customers and Vendors details are maintained in separate ledgers but the control totals are posted in the Reconciliation Account which is part of GL Accounts. Similarly reconciliation accounts are maintained for Assets and Materials also. Further, in case of Customer and Vendor accounts the number of line items will be very high, hence only the totals are updated in GL and line items will be individual ledgers. Basically reconciliation account and control account are similar.
    Offsetting Account: In Financial Accounting for every debit there should be a corresponding credit. So when ever any entry posted it will normally hit two GL Accounts. When we look at one line item, we will be interested where the other side of the entry is posted. This entry is the offsetting entry.
    If you find this usel, please assign points.
    Thanks

  • Account 140000 in company code 1000 can't be posted directly to

    I am an SD guy. This error comes up when entering the account # in the "post incoming payments. f-28. Any answer will be rewarded.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Well, actually your G/L account 140000 is a Reconciliation account and you cannot post directly to Reconciliation accounts.
    Just as you know, <b>Reconciliation accounts</b> are used for Customers (D), Vendors (K) and for Assets (A) and acts as a Subsidiary ledger where you can view all the account balances for a particular account.
    In <b>F-28</b> you need to assign a Bank G/L account or a Cash account for a direct posting.
    Hope it clears your doubt.
    Assign points if it is helpful.
