Revenue recognition error

Hi!
I'm having some problem setting up revenue recognition.
When I go to trans. VF44 to post the revenue I get this error log:
- Accounting document for collective processing 1000000005 was not created
- Incorrect doc.no.: $ 1. Select document number between 0090000000 and 0099999999
The document number you specified, "&v1", is not in the
appropriate number range. The number range is dependent on
the document type.
The exception to this rule is formed by recurring entry
documents, which must use number range 'X1' and sample
documents, which must use number range 'X2'.
Possible reasons for this error message are:
o   You have entered an incorrect document number.
o   An incorrect document number was transferred to this
     application during an update from another application
     (e.g. CO).
Any ideas?
Regards.
Eduardo

Hi check the number ranges of all the documents involved. What happens is that normally the accounting document is the same as the billing document. But sometimes FI consultants do not necessarily take this approach.

Revenue Recognition - error while creating sales order

Hi,
one of my colleague is having a Problem. Its very urgent. could you guys help.
I have used Revenue recog as"b" and Accrual start period as "a".
We are getting the error while creating a sales order, G/L account no. not found.
We have checked all the account assignment config but couldn't find anything.

I have a question, we being SD consultants, do we deal with n e of the revenue issues, I am assuming we deal it to a really brief extent, but I am not familiar with the areas of doing it, so could someone please help me by letting me know the areas where we deal with those issues and how are they looked upon, any material would also be great.
Just in case, my email is : [email protected]

VF44 Revenue recognition

Hi Dear,i changed cotract period,for example,i changed it from 1 year to 10 years,then i run VF44,system reversed previouse recognized revenue as below posting
Dr:Revenue
Cr:Unbillied receivable (we usuallly call UBR)
then i got nagetive balance on UBR,but its not resonable,that amount should go to deferred reveune insteat nagetive UBR.UBR should be always positive amount
SAP compare billed amount and recognized amount to determine the diff goes to UBR or deferred revenue.if billed amount greater than recognized amount,the diff goes to deferred reveune,if recognized amount greater than billed amount,the diff goes to UBR. but if we change contract period.seems SAP did not re-calculate UBR and deferred revenue

Revenue Recognition (AR Closed for future month in error)

Need help with revenue recognition. In the month of June in AR July was opened in error, so it was put in to close pending. Since July was closed the last 3 days worth of June invoices did not have any revenue recognition for July. Instead July's revenue was posted in to August since August was showing as a future period, and July was closed. Is there any fix to change the revenue recognition without doing a credit and rebill of 3 days worth of invoicing? If we reopen June, and run revenue recognition again, will that help? Thanks in advance for any help.

Well there are a few ways you can go ahead and fix this, but it depends on lot of factors.
Lets say you have 1 invoice for which the revenue has been recognized in August and not July, now you can query up that invoice in the transaction's workbench and incomplete it. After incompleting all the revenue recognized distributions would be deleted(applicable 11.5.10 onwards) and when you complete the invoice again & run the RR program the revenue would be recognized in July(provided it's in an open status). Please note though that you can incomplete a transaction only if it doesn't have any activity against it!
Now coming to the real world it's possible that the number of transaction's you have could be quite large and doing this manually through the screen might not be feasible. So you could possibly write a small pl/sql script to loop through those invoice's and incomplete them by calling the complete/incomplete group transaction's api. And then again complete them and re-run RR program to complete the fix.
Please note though that you can incomplete a transaction only if it doesn't have any activity against it!
With posted transaction's or transaction's having other activity, it's possible to fix them too but that would be taking things too far and Oracle Support/Development would be best equipped to provide you the fix in that scenario.

Revenue recognition and error message" Missing data: Provision account Message no. VU019

Hi,
I have configured revenue recognition type "B" for my item categories and I am using BOMs where pricing is set at item level. The issue is that when I have more than one components in my BOM then I get an error message (Missing data: Provision account Message no. VU019) at the time of saving sales order though I have configured the provision account. However If I enter the same component/material in the sales order without BOM which will have same pricing data then it does not through the above error message. Please help what could be the potential issue.
Best Regards
Javed

Have you checked the Analysis from condition tab once you created a BOM? If so, what is the message you could see for pricing.

Service Based Revenue Recognition - Prov Account Missing when using WBS

Hi,
I´ve activated RR functionality using service based and aceptance date.
I've followed the intructions from the best practices documents and the notes:
Note 820417 u2013 IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE FOR REVENUE RECOGNITION
Note 1172799 u2013 NEW VERSION OF BEST PRACTICES FOR REVENUE RECOGNITION
Note 678260 CONSTRAINTS
Note 777996 u2013 ACCOUNT SETTINGS FOR REVENUE RECOGNITION PROCESS
Note 779366 u2013 REVENUE RECOGNITION IN THE SD MODULE
Note 1166848 u2013 CUSTOMIZING SETTINGS
Note 782758 u2013 PREREQUISITS FOR USING REVENUE RECOGNITION
Note 835367 - Activating SAP ERP SD revenue recognition
Note 1000830 - Revenue recognition through incoming invoice (third-party
Note 1025066 - Revenue recognition by proof of delivery (POD)
Note 1120297 - Revenue recognition by acceptance date
Note 1125456 - Revenue recognition due to customer-specific event
We are implementing SD, FI (using New Gral Ledger), PS, CO and MM in a company that sells projects. Therefore we're posting everything to the WBS elements.
We need to post the revenue values to the WBS elements too.
The problem is that when we create a sales order for RR indicating a WBS element and try to save it, the system activates the incompletion log saying that the provision account is missing, despite the account is in VKOA.
The strange thing is that if we use a material with profit center (without any WBS or order indication in the sales order) all the revenue recognition process runs perfectly (we save the order, VBREVK is fullfiled, VF44 is run and the invoice is done correctly).
Does anybody know why when using a WBS element in the sales order, SAKN2 field is not fullfiled and the incompletion log is activated???
Is it a program error? Or are we doing something wrong?
Quick responses will be apreciated since we need to move on within two weeks!
Thanks in advance!

Revenue Recignition Error message - Accrual period not determined fot item

Price Change for Revenue Recognition

Dear experts,
I am using Revenue Recognition of type B with Revenue Recognition before invoicing.
I have an issue/question about the way price changes are treated in the functionality.
The below example is used to describe the issue for your understanding:
1.Pricing master data: $100/EA
2.Price of item in sales order: $100/EA
3.Qty in sales order: 10 EA
4.Delivery & Goods issue: 10 EA
5.Revenue Recognised (VF44) for: $1000
Accounting Entry:
DR Unbilled Accounts Receivable $1000
CR Revenue $1000
6.Change in pricing master data: $120/EA
7.Partial Invoice for: 2 EA @ $120/EA
Accounting Entry:
DR Customer $240
CR Unbilled Accounts Receivable $240
8.Partial Invoice for balance qty: 8 EA @ $120/EA
Accounting Entry:
DR Customer $960
CR Unbilled Accounts Receivable $760
CR Deferred revenue $200
9.Subsequent Revenue Recognition (VF44)
Accounting Entry:
DR Deferred revenue $200
CR Revenue $200
As you can see in the example above, the amount of the price difference is not credited to sales in step 7. From what I have seen so far the additional amount due to price difference gets credited to sales only after the total invoice value for the item exceeds the revenue recognized.
Is there any option to set the system so that the price difference is taken into account for revenue recognition during each invoicing (even
when the invoicing is partial) ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The price difference will not go to Sales in Step 7. The reason being Revenue Recognition works on the item rather than the amount. Since you have run F-44, the system finds the same in Unbilled Receivables and posts to that account.
For updating the price changes, you have to run VF46 to cancel the original RR entries. In this case, it will just clear of the RR lines if realization has not happened and post a reversal if realization has happened. This txn will also create a new RR line for VF44 which you can process.
Refer Note 820417 Implementation guide for RR. Download the attachments and look into Part2 doc page 13. This explains how to deal with price changes in sales document.
Hope this helps.
Ravi.

Pricing procedure not to bill customer but revenue recognition

I'm looking for guidance on how to setup a pricing procedure conditions. First let me explain the situation. What happens is the customer buys say 2000 software licenses on a sales order. The customer is billed and the customer account is debited and a deferred account is credited. Now the customer activates one of the licenses. The pricing from the sales order is copied to a contract. This contract has a start and end date for the license. Now that license can start to be recognized based on the period of the line item contract dates.. The issue we have is that normally for deferred revenue billing takes places. Problem is customer was already billing on the sales order. Somehow the pricing procure has to credit the deferred account that was posted on the sales order and then credit the revenue recognition account that can be used by transaction VF44.
So on the invoice associated with the sales order Invoice from sales order
Dr Customer $1000
Cr 2370 $1000
The account 2370 is the deferred account. This part is fine.
Now we activate 1 of the licenses.
So the pricing procedure has to do the following with no billing to the custo0mer account Invoice from contract
Dr 2370 $120
Cr 2371 $120
This is the problem part. crediting the deferred account 2370 and then posting into the revenue recognition account 2371
Rev Rec – VF44 for Period1
Dr 2371 $10 Cr 4340 $10 Any ideas would be appreciated

Hi
In SD billing documents customer is always debited or credited based on nature of transaction. For posting in two different G/Ls instead of customer account there is only one possible way which I know. In free goods pricing system can post debit and credit entries to different G/Ls and these G/Ls are controlled through account keys which you assign to condition types in pricing procedure.
Do you have any Idea of free goods pricing and its posting? Explore this and give it a try. I am not sure about this because I didn't test this. You can test and see if it helps.
In this for contract item category you have to use free goods pricing which you set in item category settings in VOV7.

Not able to delete a delivery after revenue recognition is reversed

Hello Gurus,
We have a situation for certain Sales Order types after creation of Sales Order -> Delivery and PGI, we do revenue recognition. But there was some mistake and delivery needed to be deleted and recreated if needed. So after doing revenue recognition reversal we are reversing the PGI. After this when we try to delete the Delivery ( which would have got deleted if there was no revenue recognition process ) we get the below error.
Is it a problem with the way Revenue recognition is configured or does the standard behave like this. If the Invoice is also present in the above I am able to cancel the Invoice. If you think its a problem with the way Revenue reccognition is configured please advise.
Item 000010 cannot be deleted (revenue recognition status)
Message no. VL896
Diagnosis
The delivery or delivery item cannot be deleted.
System response
The document cannot be deleted since the delivery contains items that
reference sales document items that are relevant for revenue
recognition. When the goods issue was posted, the system created revenue
lines that had already been recognized. This means that there are
subsequent documents in revenue recognition for this delivery.
Procedure
If you no longer require the delivery or delivery item for deletion, set
the delivery quantities to zero and repost the goods issue. Make sure
that the quantity zero is allowed in Customizing for the delivery item
category. When the goods issue is posted, the overall processing status
is set to C and the delivery can be archived. Message determination
should be configured not to send any messages in this case. To make sure
that the system makes revenue corrections if there are differences
vbetween billed and recognized values, set a billing-relevant rejection
reason in the sales document item if more than one partial delivery is
allowed.
If you still want to use the delivery, adjust the delivery quantities
accordingly. Alternatively, deliver the referencing sales document item
again. Note that the sales document item cannot be delivered again if
only a partial delivery is allowed.
What are the changes I can do to Delete the Delivery?
If I cannot Delete the Delivery, Should I make the Delivery as 0 qty and create a new delivery with changed qty and do further process. Or should I reject the Sales Order and create a new sales order with exact qty and do further process.
Please advise.
Regards,
SNK.
Delivery has one line item. For the above case scenario, invoice is there for some deliveries and for some deliveries there is no invoice. Eg: SO -> DN -> PGI -> Rev Recog -> Iv or SO -> DN -> PGI -> Rev Recog. Requirement was SO was wrongly created as the qty was wrong or in some cases SO needs to be rejected. I am able to cancel Invoice. Rev recog is reversed. PGI is cancelled by VL09. Not able to delete Delivery and I get the above error. Ideally I thought since Rev recog is reversed, Delivery should have been deleted but not happening and above error comes.

UNBILLED RECIEVABLE ACCOUNT- SERVICE CONTRACT WITH REVENUE RECOGNITION

Hi SAP Gurus,
I want to draw your kind attention towards my problem:
I have created service contract with one year contract and created an invoice for the whole year in advance.
Now in-between i cancelled a contract (after three months) and want to recognised a revenue for the contract period , so i'm creating a revenue recognition for the three months one by one using transaction code-VF44,
first month revenue recogniton is working fine as first month amount is going from deffered account to revenue account
But for second month instead of deffered account ,system is using unbilled recievable account ,which is wrong .
Can anybody tell me why the system is picking unbilled receivable account instead of deffered account in case of second month revenue recogniton.
This may help us:
"When i was cancelling a contract ,at that time i was entering a billing plan end date in billing plan tab at an item level.
and just after entering end date ,system was creating two lines instead of one in billing plan tab and i think because of that extra line system is picking unbilled receivables in second revenue recognition."
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I am doing a contract billing for overall period that is for 12 months (contract is of 12 months).
Just after 3 months i have realized that somehow we have to cancel the contract and we canceled that in 3rd month.
I had created the created a contract with periodic billing plan and for canceling that contract i'm putting contract end date in BILLING PLAN TAB as 31/03/2011 (Let say contract is from 01/01/2011 to 31/12/2011).
Can you/anybody please tell me whether is this the correct way of canceling the contract with periodic billing plan?
As per your analysis:
"It seems you have done the billing document for one period and you are doing the RR document for multiple periods and hence the revenue is going to unbilled receivable account for the period for which billing document has not been done"
As i have billed the customer for 12 months but contract was only for 3 months so i'll create RR for only 3 months and for rest of the period (i.e. 9 months) i'll create credit memo and send it to customer.
"Please use a billing type where you will specify only start date and end date of the contract and not the billing plan in contract"
How can we use billing type for contract start and end date .
I think as soon as i'm changing the dates in billing plan tab system is proposing another line item with different billing dates and that is not getting covered under deferred account that is still unbilled amount .
Waiting for your valuable inputs.
In case of any clarification kindly revert to me.
Thanks,
Ujjawal

Revenue recognition in Item category

Dear All
Can you advise what exactly is revenue recognition in item category?.
I need to enter A in the field, but the field is greyed.
Thanks
Deepu Pillai

Dear Deepu,
The Concept of "Revenue Recognition" in Item Category is -
The material, with specified Item Category, is defined for income-accrual or not.
Now, Income-accrual means, say, in a month, you have "n" no. of orders to deliver, but might possible that Invoice and Payment, may get done or may not be.
So, to realise such income for a particular period, we run revenue-recognition (VF44). In VKOA, we maintain "Provisional Account" for such income.
Once invoiced, Accrued income G/L gets debited and Customer G/L gets credited.
