hi
*1. WHAT IS REQUIREMENT*
Condition Types are executed only if the specific conditions mentioned in the routine are met.
Useful in controlling specific activation of Condition types.
Useful in improving the system performance as records are accessed only once requirements are met.
ALTERNATE CALCULATION TYPE
Alternative formula to the formula in the standard system that determines a condition
A powerful tool in Pricing Procedure
Used for performing complex calculations
Extensively used for calculating Taxes , Rounding etc..
ALTERNATE CONDITION BASE VALUE
Formula for determining the condition basis as an alternative to the standard
Used for determining the base on which Calculation of the condition value has to be carried out
Used for calculating Taxes , Discounts , Freights etc.
2. WHAT IS ACCRUAL?
Key which identifies various types of G/L accounts for accruals or provisions.
With the aid of the account key, the system can post amounts to certain types of accruals accounts. For example, rebate accruals which are calculated from pricing conditions can be posted to the corresponding account for rebate accruals.
4. WHAT IS MATERIAL DETERMINATION? HOW IT IS DIFFERENT FROM LISTING AND EXCLUSION?
material determination can be used for:
1. automatic selection - you enter a material A. but if there is shortage or if there is a sales promotional campaign, you want the system to automatically replace this with material B.
2. barcodes - you enter the barcode, and the system automatically replaces the barcode with the material number in the order
listing - this is to limit your customer to the materials in this list
exclusion - you want to prevent the customer from ordering certain materials
hope this will help you

Hi,
Following write up is going to help you.
Accrual Types
Definition
The accrual type controls the calculation and posting of accruals according to different business views. It defines how the accruals are calculated and posted.
The accrual type sorts the accruals, for example, by:
Costs
Revenues
Receivables
Use
You use the accrual type to control which types of posting are performed for an accrual item. You can assign all postings defined to an accrual type, or only individual postings:
Opening posting
The entire amount to be accrued is posted as a balance posting. Account determination is normally set so that the entire amount to be accrued is posted to an accruals account.
Periodic posting
The total amount to be accrued is split over the individual periods according to the accrual method concerned. When you perform an accrual run in a period, the accrual amount for that period is posted. Account determination is normally set so that the periodic postings are from the accruals account to a profit and loss account.
Closing posting
A closing posting only occurs when you deactivate an accrual object prematurely. The amount that has not been accrued by the time of the premature deactivation is posted as the deactivation amount.
Structure
The following accrual types exist:
Simple accrual type
With this accrual type, you define the view under which the accruals are made, and which postings are performed.
Derived accrual type
This accrual type is derived from other accrual types, for example, as the total or difference from other accrual types. You define a derived accrual type in Customizing for Financial Accounting under Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Accrual Engine ® Basic Settings ® Accrual Types ® Derived Accrual Types

Accrual and differal cost ??

Hi PS Gurus
what is accrual and differal cost?
thanks in advance...

Go through this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_glossary/en/35/26b849afab52b9e10000009b38f974/content.htm
Accrual is expense before a closing key date that represents an expense for any period after that key closing date.
Deferred is income before a closing key date that represents revenue for any period after that date.
It is basically saying that you are accruing expense for a period from a previous period or receiving income in a period that is deferred for the next period.

Accrual

hi gurus,
what is accrual....what is the effect of this if i dont take it in pricing procedure and whats is the effect if i take it into account?
any valuation changes?
usually it is applied to freight condition types.
can anybody brief me abt this?
regards,
rohan

what is accrual....what is the effect of this if i dont take it in pricing procedure and whats is the effect if i take it into account?
Method used to distribute expenditures, revenue, receivables and losses to the correct period, based on the origin of these amounts.
For the lessor, the lease and the lease term determine the amounts to be accrued
If you not making as accrual then the tax will be applicable on that and it will add to the material cost but if it is accual then it will post to accrual accounts and at end of the year based on the company's process it will be propationated to the material account or just shows as expense
any valuation changes?
as i explain above
usually it is applied to freight condition types.
the reason is mostly company don't include the freight and custom duty as part of the material cost the reson is if you are getting material in one truck load with diff POs material so it is very difficult to appotoinate the freight cost

ACCRUAL WRITE-OFF

What is accrual write off? How does it work?

Hi,
Accrual Write-Off is the process to knockoff the liability for PO/receiving.
See Section on "Accrual Write Off" page 9-111 in chapter 9 - Receiving in "R12 Purchasing User Guide"
=== following para from the same===
If you choose the Perpetual Accrual Method within Purchasing, Purchasing records an
accounts payable liability to an AP accrual account for goods received but not invoiced.
When Payables matches and approves the invoice for the received goods, Payables
clears the accounts payable accrual account and records the actual liability amount to
the invoice accounts payable liability account.
You might want to reconcile those transactions that leave some balance (liability) in
accrual accounts. This can be done with accrual reconciliation process.

Hope this helps!

Posting same amount in two different GL accounts

Hi SAP Gurus,
Please help me find ......
if we want to book with the same accounting key the condition to Cr/Dr the same amount in the acctg document into two different GL accounts ......
i have never done that, but i was told it can be done with VKOA ..... not sure if using the accrual field ?
+ what is accrual field ?
I will appreciate a quick response ......
Thanks

Hi
You cant get posting in two GL accounts from conditions. If the condition is assinged to an account key and also an accrual key then it is possible. Rebates are typical example whereyou get posting in two GL accounts.
thanks

What is "Invoice Price Variance" in Accrual Reconciliation Report

Hi friends
can anyone pls explain me the Invoice Price Variance column data of Accrual Reconciliation Report? how most of the time ive seen this as 0. how can this be more than 0? im just experimenting with Accrual Reconciliation Report. pls help me.
thanks in advance.
LISAN

hi
thanks for your reply. assume that PO total is 150. invoice is created of 100. in this case should i see an amount in Invoice Price Variance? im not seeing any change in Invoice Price Variance. for me what happens here is Transaction Amount - Accounted is shown -50 as its still to create an invoice of amount 50 which is in fact the accrual balance. pls give me a feedback on this. i want to produce a scenario which will make the invoice price variance more or less than 0.
thanks

Questions on AP and PO Accrual Reconciliation?

Dear all,
I know the purpose of "The AP and PO Accrual Reconciliation Report" provides a transactional breakdown of each accrual account with a net balance not equal to zero in a summarized or full transaction details version.
However, I found out that on of the Purchase Order has been done the PO receipt and created an invoice in AP (validate and accounted). But the report still showing PO is 0 and AP is 343,000 in AP and PO Accrual Reconciliation report. I am just wondering what I have done wrong suppose the PO and AP should be equal in that case.
Please advice.
Thanks.

Is there any miscellaneous transactions recorded in error to your accrual accounts,These miscellaneous transactions or transactions unrelated to purchase order receipts may be from Payables.

Purchasing Accruals on Closed Purchase Orders

I am having an issue with Purchasing accruals being performed on a closed purchase order. The accrual does not appear in the Uninvoiced Transactions Register, but is accrued in the Purchasing journal entry nonetheless. The purchase order is "closed". I am trying to figure out why the amount is being accrued and how to stop the accrual. Anyone have any ideas? Is this a bug or should I try to "Finally Close" the PO?
I also noticed that when this PO accrued in the first month, there were two accrual lines for the purchase order. One had a correct accrual of $67.20 and then there was a second line of $14.70 that was accrued for the PO. The $14.70 is the amount that has been continuing to accrue even though the PO has been "closed".
This is in version 11.5.
Thank you,
Erik

Here are the details of the PO:
Quantity = 1
Qty Rec'd = 1
Qty Billed = 1
Qty Cancelled = 1
Cancelled (flag) = No flag
Hi Erik,
interesting case ! Please note above. You have mentioned "Qty Cancelled = 1", is it a typo?
Assuming that it is a typo error, I don't think finally closing it will solve the problem.
Apart from quantity difference in received vs. billing there may be other cases like incorrect PO or invoice unit price, supplier billing discrepancies (since you have mentioned billing was in installments).
I'll suggest the following checks first before taking any action. Please test in a cloned instance first
- Run "Accrual Reconciliation Report" / "Accrual Rebuild Reconciliation Report" and check what is coming ... do you see the problematic entry
- Check whether there are any other reasons apart from quantity received vs. invoiced mismatch
- Try Accrual Write-Off option in Purchasing to clear that entry (refer PO
- Pass a manual journal entry in GL
For the last 2 steps consult with finance guys.
You can use Accrual Write Off Report as reference for manual journal entry in GL.
Once you are satisfied with the results, apply the solution in production with approval from finance.
Another option could be to use a "dummy" invoice to match the remaining amount.
Please let me know the results.
Good luck!
Thanks

Accrual Reconciliation Rebuild - No Report/Accrual Reconciliation Report

Hi Experts,
It is well-known that Accrual Reconciliation Report shows out the data from po_accrual_reconcile_temp_all i.e. only that data which resides in po_accrual_reconcile_temp_all table will be picked and showed on the report based on net_po_line_amount and net_po_line_quantity (i.e. depends on the tolerance levels given). But if I want to show the data from backend thru query, i will use this table and give my conditions for net_po_line_amount and net_po_line_quantity. As mentioned in Note:433683.1 in Metalink, it is mentioned that:
The following two columns in the PO_ACCRUAL_RECONCILE_TEMP_ALL table
determines whether a Transaction appears on the Accrual Reconciliation
Report.
Net_po_line_quantity
Net_po_line_amount
For a Transaction not to appear on the Accrual Reconciliation Report
net transaction quantity AND the net transaction amount for each PO Line must be
less than or equal to the values entered in the tolerance parameters (or <= 0,
which is the default value).
This means I will make my query which should match with the report data:
select * from po_accrual_reconcile_temp_all
where net_po_line_amount>0 and net_po_line_quanity>0;
But I have seen some cases where both these are zero and still shown on the report, i have seen few more cases where these are null and still shown on the report. May be we need to add more conditions or somewhere I am doing wrong! Please suggest what all conditions we should consider while incorporating with this type of requirement.
Any suggestions on this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Deleting old version of Java disabled ability to open AP and PO Accrual Rpt

Hi I am an end-user and we are in the process of testing Oracle Financials, Purchasing, etc in order to upgrade to the latest version of Oracle. My IT group fiddled with my laptop and said I had 2 versions of Java and apparently deleted the old version on my laptop. Ever since then, I have been unable to open/view the 1) AP and PO Accrual Reconciliation Report and 2) Summary Accrual Reconciliation Report from the Purchasing module of Oracle. I can still view other financial reports that I run ( i.e. Inventory Value Report from Inventory module, Journal Entries Report from GL, Receiving Transactions Register from A/R). I currently have Java 6 update 29 installed but I am still unable to open reports from the Purchasing module.
Can anyone figure out what happened and how do I re-enable the ability to view those Purchasing reports again?

Did you substitute the VO or replaced the original VO itself? Check About this Page/Personalize Page to see the VO has modified query or not. If yes, try restarting the server (Apache bounce doesn't work sometimes, complete bounce/restart fixes the issue. I don't know why :-) ).
Thanks

Accounts Payable and PO Accrual Reconciliation Summary Report?

Dear all,
We are using R12.1.3 and doing the reconciliation AP Vs PO Accrual. However, I run the report "Accounts Payable and PO Accrual Reconciliation Summary Report" and found that one record is strange, like the PO Accrual balance is something -10,000 and the Account Payable balanced is 0.00.
What does it mean for my case? Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

Dear all,
I rerun " Accrual Reconciliation Load Run" program with data range. After that I re-run "Accounts Payable and PO Accrual Reconciliation Summary Report" and found that everything is fine now.
I just wondering am I need to run "Accrual Reconciliation Load Run" every month end closing or just run once for up-grade POs?
Please advice.
Thanks.

R12: How to filter AP and PO Accrual Reconciliation Report based on GL Date

We need to run the report only for specific date only. Please share with me if anyone know about this.

In 12 you can rebuild and run the report for a particular period, but not a single day if that's what's required
