Version 4.6c Cross Company Code Incoming payment to lockbox.

In version 4.6c I am trying to find out the correct IMG configuration for processing incoming payments to a lockbox when multiple companies are using one company for banking. Here is what I have done so far:
Here are the company codes: 2100 has house banks and lockbox set up.
0980 does not have house bank or lockbox.
OX16 - all both company codes involved are assigned to the same Company.
OBVU - Non-bank company code 0980 has 2100 set up as Paying Company Code
OBYA - Clearing accounts have been set up between 0980-2100.
OB05 - Accounting Clerk has been set up for both company codes.
OB10 - Lockbox from 2100 has been set up for 0980. Even though 0980 does not have a House bank set up, IMG Configuration did allow the lockbox and house bank for 2100 to be saved under 0980.
OB96 - Forms to be used were linked to 0980
One issue we are having is that when we attempt to set up a Customer for 0980 a field for Lockbox is required to be entered. When the 2100 Lockbox is input, an error message pops up saying that 0980 does not have a House Bank.
Can someone please explain how to complete the configuration for this type of activity in version 4.6c? Also should we be using F-28, FB05 or some other t-code to post incoming payments.

Hello,
You can post the cross company code postings even between two controlling areas. The system does not prevent to post documents between two company codes in two controlling area. Need not necessarily they should be under one operating concern. Provided you have to make sure that you have followed the following points:
In OBY6 - To company codes must be assigned to same Company, meaning that you mus thave created a Company and that company must have been assigned to these two company codes.
OBYA - You should maintain the clearing accounts in both the company codes. Meaning that you are posting one leg in one company code and the other leg in the other company. Therefore, it is required to have the missing legs in each company code.
Company Code1 - Posting Key 40 - Clearing Account
Company Code1 - Posting Key 50 - Clearing Account
Company Code2 - Positng Key 40 - Clearing Account
Company Code2 - Posting Key 50 - Clearing Account
OB08 - In case if the two company codes have different local (company code) currencies, you may maintain the exchange rates.
You can now go to F-02 and post a cross company code transaction giving the first leg in first company code and the second leg in second company code. Missing leg in the first company code will be posted to the GL Account mentioned in OBYA and the missing leg in the second company code will be posted to the GL Account mentioned in OBYA. That means you will have four line items overall.
The system will post three document.
Document 1 in First Company Code
Document 2 in Second Company Code
and
Document3 - Cross Company Code Document.
The cross company code document consists of the first company code document number plus company code plus last two digits of the fiscal year.
Hope this must have clarified your doubts.
Please let me know in case if you need further details.
Thanks,

Cross Company Code Incoming Payment Clearing

Dear All
Good day to you.
I would be grateful if I could get advice on the following:
Process:
Company Code A is receiving Payment from Customer Z of Company Code B
Present SAP Treatment
F-02 Company Code A Bank Account is debited and Customer Z of Company Code B is credited.
F-32 Customer Z's Invoice of Company Code B cleared against the Payment received by Company Code A.
Hence this has become a two step process.
Ideal solution needed
In F-28 or similar other transaction
Company Code A Bank Account is debited and Customer Z of Company Code B is credited and clearing also carried out then and there?
To achieve the ideal solution above what are the configurations (if any) needed.
Thanking you in advance.

How to configure Funds Transfers, Cross Company Code Vendor Payments, Bill

Hi All,
Can any one help me, How to configure Funds Transfers, Cross Company Code Vendor Payments, Bill of Exchnage Payments with Automatic Payment Program?
Regards
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
This is what you need to do to configure Cross Company Code Vendor Payments.
Execute transaction code OBYA, when prompted, type in 1st coy code, say A and then 2nd coy code, say B. This would take you to the "Maintain FI Configuration: Automatic Posting - Clearing Accounts" screen.
In the first frame, where you have
Posted in : A
Cleared Against : B
Under Receivable
Debit Posting Key : 01
Account Debit : Account Number (The account can be a G/L account, a customer account or a vendor account)
Under Payable
Credit Posting Key : 31
Account Credit : Account Number (The account can be a G/L account, a customer account or a vendor account).
In the second Frame
Posted in : B
Cleared Against : A
Under Receivable
Debit Posting Key : 01
Account Debit : Account Number (The account can be a G/L account, a customer account or a vendor account)
Under Payable
Credit Posting Key : 31
Account Credit : Account Number (The account can be a G/L account, a customer account or a vendor account).
So, if you are using the Customer/Vendor approach, company A must be set up as both a Customer(Use Txn Code XD01) and a Vendor(USe Txn Code XK01) in Company B and vice versa.
Once you have completed this set-up, you can then use transaction F.13 and/or F13E to carry out your automatic clearing. Alternatively, whenever Payment Run is executed via transaction code F110, this would automatically clear out the payables and receivables in each company code.
However, if you intend to use the G/L approach, then the account numbers would be Inter-coy G/L account for each coy code as defined in the chart of accounts.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.
Regards,
Jacob

Automatically clear the open items for a GL account cross company codes

Hi FICO experts,
Can anyone help me on the following issue urgently?
There are journal entries posted to same GL account with different company code. Is there any way to automatically clear the open items sitting in the GL account in company code A to against the open items for the same GL account in company code B.
The example is below:
Journal in company code A
Dr. 840410      $100
Cr. 111300       $100
Journal in company code B
Dr. 111301   $100
Cr. 840410      $100
Now I want to automatically clear account 840410 by using assignment or text in the journal entry.
It will be highly appreciated for any instructions.
Adele

Hello Adele Wang,
You can enter cross-company code transactions in one step in the General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable application components. This function would be used, for example, for centralized procurement or payment.
Integration:For centralized payments, each individual company code enters its own invoices separately, while a central company code pays them. When you are clearing open items, the system makes clearing entries between the company codes participating in the clearing procedure. These clearing entries represent the receivables and payables that exist between the company codes in centralized payment.
Prerequisites:You have specified which company codes are to be processed via a single company code. In this specification, you can distinguish between clearing transactions. You can therefore have different combinations of company codes for incoming and outgoing payments.
You have specified the clearing accounts that record the receivables and payables between the individual company codes. The system posts to these accounts automatically when clearing the open items.
You need to make the required settings in the activity Prepare Cross-Company Code Manual Payments in Customizing for Financial Accounting (Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable->Business Transactions->Outgoing Payments->Manual Outgoing Payments).
Features:For each company code, the system generates a separate clearing document. A joint transaction number marks these documents as belonging together.
Example:For a clearing transaction (incoming payment, outgoing payment), you have agreed in Customizing that if company code 0001 is specified, open items are also selected from other company codes (0002 and 0003).
Hope I had been able to help you. Please assign points.

manish
Clearing can then also be carried out if the account to be cleared has not been created in company code 0001. As long as no items have to be posted to this account in company code 0001, it is not necessary to create a master record for the account in company code 0001.

Payment term is not being pickedup in cross company code transaction

Dear Friends,
In one of the cross company code transaction scenarios (MIRO), We post a invoice in HQ books to bill on outside vendor. In subsidiary books one more cross company code document will get generated automatically, as billing on HQ as a vendor. In that second document, payment term is not being pickedup.
eg., A is HQ and B is subsidiary company
I post invoice in A books as B account debit and outside vendor credit.
In B books one more entry will get generated automatically as GRIR account debit and A (defined as vendor in B books) account credit.
In B Books payment terms are maintained in vendor master record (A vendor).
But still the payment terms are not being pickedup in that document. Because of this, it is taking the document date itself as net due date.
Please suggest, how to proceed to pick some payment term in that document.

Suresh

Hi
Assign the payment terms in Purchase Organisation level in Vendor Master Record.

Cross company code payment - Reallocation of discount

I have a peculiar requirement and I am out of my wits to find a solution. I am confident that our Forum members will give me a solution to this.
The scenarios is like this. There are 122 company codes and there is lot of cross company code payments. Meaning one company code say '0001' pays on behalf of the other 121 company codes. At the time of payment the following enter is passed:
              In the paying company code:
             Debit Inter-company customer
             Credit External Vendor
               In the other company codes:
              Debit Expense (A cost center is assigned to this GL)
              Credit Inter-company Vendor
At the time of payment to the external vendor the following entry is passed:
             Debit External Vendor
             Credit Bank.
So far it is good. But now if the Vendors term allows discount of say 2% then at the time of payment the entry generated is :
               In the paying company code
              Debit External Vendor
              Credit Discount
              Credit Bank
           No entry in the other company codes.
In case the payment term of the vendor allows discount then the client wants the discount to be posted as follows:
                 In the paying company code
              Debit External Vendor
              Credit Inter-company customer
               (in the proportion of each company code's share of expense)
              Credit Bank
                In the other company codes
               Debit Inter-company Vendor
               Credit Expense account (the one which was originally debited)
                                                   (the same cost center should also be credited)
How can this be achieved. I know there is no standard functionality to do this. But can somebody suggest a logic for the Z program.
Thanks in advance.

Guys, be specific in your answers. If you do not know, please refrain from answering.
I am really sorry to state that in this site and also in other similar websites, people just answer questions without knowing what they are talking about.
I can understand, novices asking questions. But the same novices should not try to answer questions which they do not understand.
I am sorry to make these comments. But I want this to be a quality site where Practitioners can come and find real answers to questions. I am sure there will be people out their who will support my viewpoint. This will help make the forum more useful. Otherwise somebody seeking an answer to his/her question may spend hours and end up without an answer.

Cross Company code posting is available for recurring payment setup?

Hi All,
I could not find the cross company code field for recurring payment setup with useing T code FBD1.
Vendor is created in paying company code 1000, however, the rent has be booked to cross company code (1001) cost center (2000).
So, while trying to do recurring payment setup, I could not see the field.
I know the alternative option that i can use the "Cost Center(1000)" is assigned to CoCd 1000 and do recurring setup without useing cross company code, later i can post the manual journal for correction (as below), however, I do not want use this option.
Dr/Cr       CoCd                         GL account            Cost Center           Amount
Dr            1001                         Rent account          2000                      XXXXX
Cr            1000                         Rent account          1000                      XXXXX
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Srinivas

Hi, ok17 is not for cross company,but for CO-FI real time integration.
Ex. you maintained for "RKL     Actual activity allocation" Dr 123 Cr 567
Then while posting activity allocation in CO you'll get posting like Dr 123 Cr 567   (with corresponding CO objects)

Creating Cross Company Code Vendors/Customers.

Hi All,
I'm trying to understand how to create cross company code Vendors and Customers. I've already established the link with configuring OBYA. What I'm not clear is on which company code I should be creating the vendor and customer.
We have two company codes, 2100 & 0980. CC 2100 has the central bank tha pays invoices for CC 0980. I have two issues.
1. What kind of configuration is needed to accept incoming payments into CC 2100 House banks and lockboxes?
2. For intercompany activity between 2100 & 0980 how are the vendor and customer master records set up? I know there needs to be a vendor on the customer master and a customer on the vendor master.
So for 0980 acting like a vendor for 2100 I'm assuming the vendor number for 0980 is set up as a 2100 vendor.
The same is true when acting as a customer. The difference being is that this vendor entered into a field on the customer master and the customer number is entered on a field in the vendor master.
I'm missing how the Vendor record, if created on Company Code 2100 gets linked to Company Code 0980.

For SAP to 'know' that a particular vendor / customer master records represents a specific company code, all these needs to be linked to the same 'company'.
Companies are maintained in T880 (IMG : enterprise structure -> definition -> Fin Acctg -> Define Company
Company code is linked to a company in the cocode config. IMG enterprise structure -> Assignment -> Fin Acctg -> Assign comp. code to company
And finally, the Trading Partner field in the Customer/vendor master is where you assign the company to the cust/vendor.
This setup will eventually allow you to consolidate interco A/R, A/P, etc.. if you need to but is not necessary for the interco process to post.(although you'd want to have it rght from the get go)

Specific business transactions with trading partners
Several business transactions that occur frequently in the various operative applications - as
relating to their trading partner assignments -- are described more closely:
FI/Financial Accounting
- Customer or vendor invoice: The trading partner is copied from the customer or vendor
master record and is duplicated in the offsetting entries. Only one trading partner may
occur in the document.
- Invoice receipt against clearing account and transfers with clearing: If you do not post an
incoming invoice directly to an expense account, but instead against a clearing account,
the selection of open items must be restricted to those of a certain trading partner when
posting the transfer later on; the same trading partner is automatically copied onto the
transfer line item.
- Customer or vendor payment: You can configure the document type for payments to
allow for more than one trading partner in a payment document. Then, the trading
partner is copied only into the customer or vendor line items.
- Down payments and down payment clearings are always customer- or vendor-related
and are, therefore, handled like the invoices described above.
AA/Asset Accounting
- Asset transfers between company codes: If a fixed asset is transferred to another
company code, two posting documents are required - one for each company code. The
trading partner of each document must be set with the company ID of the other company
code, respectively.
MM/Materials Management
- When receiving goods from an affiliated vendor, the trading partner is taken from the
vendor mentioned on the order for the inventory entry and the goods/invoice receipt. If
invoices are still open on the balance sheet key date, group-internal provisions are
created from the clearing account for goods/invoice receipts. These provisions can later
be eliminated in the Consolidation system using the trading partner assignment.
- Order-related invoice receipts also derive the trading partner from the vendor on the
order and duplicate it into the offsetting entries.
- Material transactions across company codes automatically derive the trading partner
from the company code assignments.
CO/Cost Accounting
- Cross-company code CO settlements are transferred periodically using adjusting entries
to Financial Accounting via the reconciliation ledger. The trading partner is derived from
the company code, which, in turn, comes from the respective CO posting object being
addressed. These are always dual settlements, whereby the trading partner can always
be uniquely identified.

Cross company code posting

hi
while posting cross company code posting in F-02 for customer,the open item is not cleared
ex: com.code:1000 have customer debit balance
the customer paid to com.code 2000
in f-02, 40 bank in com.code:2000
15 cus. in com.code:1000 has been taken in new com.code option
but open item is not cleared?
how can i post?
next in company code 1000- 2000 company balance will be there and same com.code 2000 also will have 1000 com.code balance , how can i clear this
regard
sowmya

you can use F-30 for the clearing at the same time as the posting.
But it may be better to have the repsonsible person in the customer's company to do the clearing, so he/she knows the payment has been received (although in the same company).
Current accounts between companies should be "cleared" at regular intervals. ie. offsett asset & liabitily side. It's a business decision on when to clear the balances.

Cross company code downpayment posting error

Hi,
When I am posting cross company code downpayment in F-48 getting below error.
"Balancing field "Profit Center" in line item 001 not filled".
Vendor A/c (Company A)
Bank clearing A/c(Company B) - Profit center 25000
Problem it is not deriving the profit center for Vendor reconciliation A/c. I have used document type KZ, check boxes "intercompany postings" and "trading partner" are activated in this document type.
Default profit center has made for Bank clearing A/c and Cross company code clearing A/c. Assigned Profit center 25000 for Company A also.
Kindly advice where I am wrong, which is the correct document type to post the Cross company code transactions (Down payment:F-48, charging-off GL open item to Vendor) to derive the profit center for Vendor reconciliation A/c? Or
How can I configure in New GL that the profit center should get derived from the Cross company code clearing A/c for above cross company code transactions?
Best regards
Shanid

Hi Atif,
Thanks again for your reply.
Since we have made Profit center as mandatory in New GL charactristcs this will give the priority to enter the Profit center as
Mandatory. As I mentioned earlier we required profit center in all lines.
I have tried whatever you have said, still it is not working.
It will be great if you give a solution for this.

Cross Company Code Invoice cancellation

Hello All,
I am facing an issue wherein the User wants to Reverse the Cross -company code Invoice. The user is unable to cancel the Invoice because of the Error "Dcoument allready contains cleared Items- reversal not possible. Can you suggest how can we proceed in this case.
Thanks
Nitin

Hi,
One of the vendor item of your CC document line items might have been cleared.
Means after posting of invoice, there must be an payment have been posted, since you cannot reverse invoice first.
If payment is already made, first reverse the payment document using FB08 and then reverse your CC document using FBU8 incase of FI entry, where as if it is an MIRO invoice, use MR8M to reverse the CC invoice document.
This will resolve your issue.
Thanks,
Srinu

You can only set up one OBYA entry for each pair of company codes. You cannot set up different entries for different applications. The entry set up for the pair of company codes applies to all cross-company transactions posted between the two company codes.
For example, one company might receive an invoice that contains expenses for multiple companies. The invoice would be entered into the system as:
    Cr. Vendor Co.Cd. A
Dr. Expense Co.Cd. A
Dr. Expense Co.Cd. B
When the document is posted, 2 documents will be created - one in each company code. The documents need to be balanced in each company code, so the system fills in the receivable and payable accounts from OBYA.
Co.Cd. A
   Cr. Vendor
Dr. Expense
Dr. Cross-company receivable
Co.Cd. B
    Cr. Cross-company payable
Dr. Expense
For a bank to bank transfer from a bank account in Co.Cd. A to a bank account in Co.Cd. B, the system is trying to make the following posting:
    Cr. Outgoing cash Co.Cd. A
Dr. Incoming cash Co.Cd. B
This posting will result in 2 documents:
Co.Cd. A
    Cr. Outgoing cash
Dr. Cross-company receivable
Co.Cd. B
Dr. Incoming cash
    Cr. Cross-company payable
To view existing entries, go into OBYA, fill in 2 company codes and Enter. If an entry exists for the pair, SAP will display the details of the entry - if no entry exists, it will display a blank entry. To see all entries, select Goto -> List (or click the List button).
OBYA is found in the IMG under Financial Accounting -> General Ledger Accounting -> Business Transactions -> Prepare Cross-Company Code Transactions. You can read the IMG documentation to learn more.

Shannon
