What is meant by Retain earning a/c - only bal car forward or else...?

ABOUT RETAIN EARNING ACCOUNT IS IT FOR BALANCE CARRY FORWARD AND IS IT LIKE A SUSPENSE ACCOUNT....?
help.sap.com

Hello Rony,
Good question.
The design of the system is such that RE is updated during the year end closing only. (At the end of the accounting year). During the year RE is not updated but system shows in the FSV the difference between assets & liabilities = to current yearu2019s profit or loss (up to the period).
Donu2019t worry. Just look at any standard FSV available in the system, copy it and edit it as per your requirements.

  • The effect of placing retain earning in drawer cost of sales

    Dear Experts/Gurus,
    I have a problem relate to retained earning G/L account. I have seen there are 2-3 types of  GL account retain earning i.e last year, running period and current period.
    Some of databases contains 2 or 3.
    The problem is that I do not know the effect if running period is placing in drawer cost of sales. usually it is in capital and reserve.
    What will be the effect ?
    I know I can modify the financial report but the main purpose I still do not know.
    I appreciate your answer. TIA
    Rgds,

    Hi Will,
    It means that the account type is not sales and expense but other. It fully depended on company's preference.
    Based on these formula I researched:
    Gross profit (GP) = retained earning - revenues
    Operating profit (OP) = GP - COGS
    Profit after financing expenses (PAFE)= OP - Total expenses
    Profit period = PAFE - Other revenues and expenses
    So, all are fully depended on G/L account location and setting in COA and off course its daily use in the transaction either after it set in the G/L account determination or journal entry transaction.

  • How to eliminate certain P&L Statement Accounts from Retained Earning

    I have certain P&L statement accounts which are used to track certain transaction at end of year.
    SAP allows config by which all P&L accounts are subject to retained earning.
    We want to eliminate some P&L statement Accounts so that these do not show up as part of retained earning. Please advice what is the best  way to do this.
    thanks!
    Edited by: RajSAP01 on Dec 20, 2011 10:11 PM

    GL account will be created and should have either P&L or BS account type.  You can not create without any one of this
    And you need to select which P&L statement a/c type to be used if you have more than one such P&L account types. (Check at OB53) If only one P&L statement type is available SAP uses the same by default
    There is no way to disconnect GL accounts either from  P&L account or BS account.
    If you want to change P&L account to BS account see that GL account do not have any cost element
    Similarly if you want to change BS account to P&Laccount see that GL account do not have any recon account.

  • Need Help: Retained Earning Rollforward Issue

    The begining retained earning does not rollforward unless I do a force calculate. Does anyone know what could be the issue.

    Hi,
    Normally, in an HFM application rolling forward functionality works with many more accounts than retained earnings as you mention. Now, if you have no change in data in the previous year, then your current year should not be affected, and no need to run the calculations again. Though, you have to run calculation rules at least once when you start with a new year, in order to roll forward your opening balances from the previous year. And you have to do this for all entities. Or run consolidate at a parent entity which will trigger all calculations to the entities below it.

  • What is meant by costing key?

    Dear Experts ,
                          while releasing the billing document to accounts , i am getting  error like
                Valuation with material cost estimate: error, The system looked for the material cost estimate using costing key "002", as defined in the Customizing settings for CO-PA,  incomplete due to FI/CO interface
    what is meant by costing key?
    regards
    rajakarthik

    Hi,
    In Costing based Profitability analysis you define costing keys. A costing key is a set of access parameters which are used in valuation to determine which data in Product cost planning should be read. In the costing key you attach the costing variant.
    In the costing key you specify whether the system should read the current standard cost estimate, the previous standard cost estimate or the future standard cost estimate or a saved cost estimate.
    The configuration settings to determine this costing key is as follows:
    Assign costing keys to the products u2013 Three costing keys can be attached to a single product for a specific point of valuation, record type, plan version.
    Assign costing keys to Material types
    Assign costing keys to any characteristics u2013 You can use your own strategy to determine the costing keys. This is through user defined assignment tables.

  • Dispute Case Key (Replicated) (0DPM_D10); what is meant by Replicated?

    Hi everyone,
    I am working on implementing FSCM Dispute Managment module. I have some questions regarding the new standard content provided by SAP for this:
    Earlier I have seen clients using the Stanadard InfoSet 0DPM_I0 for all the Dispute's reporting as it combines data from AR, Dispute Case key and 0Customer. But now I am seeing a bunch of new objects like 0DPM_M10, 0DPM_M20, 0DPM_C10, 0DPM_D10, 0DPM_DCAS_10 etc. provided by SAP as standard content.
    Does any one have any experience with this new content; can anyone explain me how this new content is useful. My client is reluctant against using the standard InfoSet as its is built on two DSO's; I have suggested to build a cube on top of them and can still use an InfoSet to combine AR line items, Disputes, Dispute case key and Customer. Correct me if I am wrong with thid statement.
    Also please let me know what is meant by a Replicated DSO.
    Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    SRV

    There are a few things to consider:
         1) The data is stored in deserialized form until it is read. The first read will deserialize the data.
         2) There is some overhead per-entry. 750MB/(3,000,000-30) = ~250 bytes per entry. Some portion of this is attributable to the per-entry overhead.
         3) How did you measure memory usage? Usually invoking <tt>System.gc()</tt> before measuring heap usage will clear garbage but is not guaranteed.

  • What is meant by criteria of Updateability in MDM Import manager

    Hi,
    What is meant by criteria of Updateability in MDM Import manager? i read some information, but i could understand, it says original data source be  updateble. what is meant by Original data source.?
    what is the use of option "Read-only"  in Import manager logon screen.
    Thanks

    Hello Ankam,
    You can check the Read-only option to prevent MDM from updating your data source.
    Kindly see the below information on "DATA SOURCE UPDATES"
    DATA SOURCE UPDATES
    Some MDM Import Manager operations require that the original data source be updateable, thereby allowing new fields and/or entire new tables u2013 and the corresponding data values for each record u2013 to be automatically added to the data source before further processing.
    Other operations simply create virtual fields in the MDM Import Manageru2019s workspace, although if the data source happens to be updateable, some of these operations instead add the new fields to the original data source as well.
    NOTE ►► Updating the data source when possible allows you to
    perform additional operations on the new fields as if they were part of
    the original source data, and also use them as record matching fields.
    NOTE ►► Fields that are added only if the data source is updateable
    can be deleted automatically by the MDM Import Manager when you
    exit or switch data sources based on the setting of the Delete Created
    Fields on Exit configuration option.
    Updateable Data Sources
    Whether or not a data source is updateable depends upon the following:
    u2022 Source type. The source Type must permit the MDM Import Manager to update its schema and insert the additional fields of data; some supported types are updateable and some are not.
    u2022 Media. The media on which the data source resides must itself be updateable. If the media on which the data source resides is readonly, such as a CD-ROM, the data source cannot be updated.
    u2022 Permissions. You must have the proper file system permissions to update the file, or the proper DBMS permissions to update the schema of the database.
    u2022 Read-only option. You cannot have checked the Read-Only option, which prevents MDM from updating the data source even if the other conditions would otherwise permit it.
    NOTE ►► The Read-Only option is: (1) enabled for source types that
    can be updated (Access, Oracle, SQL Server, and XML); (2) disabled
    and unchecked for those that use Access as an updateable staging
    area (Delimited Text and Fixed Text); and (3) disabled and checked for
    those that cannot be updated (Excel and ODBC).
    NOTE ►► When the data source is SQL Server, the table names in
    the database must not contain spaces; otherwise any operation that
    would update the data source will fail.
    Hope this helps.

  • What is meant by stacked list

    hi
    what is meant by stacked list

    Hi Jyothsna,
    A stacked list is a list used in Module Pool programming.
    In an ideal scenario,you will define the screen sequence in either a static or a dynamic way.
    By the statc way,you define the next screen and enter the next screen's value in it.
    By the dynamic way,you code the statement CALL SCREEN XXX where the XXX means the screen number.The dynamic way overrides the static way of defining the screen sequences.
    Now,if you want to insert a screen sequence,i.e a sequence of screens which are not defined in the same ABAP program,you either do it by static or the dynamic way again using the above constructs.
    But in this case,a stack is loaded for a screen sequence and the screens are processed based on the sequence defined in it.
    Before leaving this screen sequence,you should always destroy or delete it usng the keyword LEAVE as it occupies a lot of memory.
    In case you have any further clarifications,do let me know.
    Regards,
    Puneet Jhari.

  • Balance of Retained Earning Account

    Hi Gurus,
    I am executing transaction FAGLGVTR for transferring balance to retained earning account but when i see the balance of retained earning account in FBL3N, balance is not changing.
    It is same as previous.
    Please help me in solving the issue.
    Thank You

    Hi
    Please review notes 176067, as there is no possibility to view line item display. The opening balance on the retained earnings account consists of  the following:                                                       
    Opening balance = Closing balance of the previous year + Retained earnings from the P+L accounts                                                                               
    Within the balance carryforward, the P+L accounts are carried forward to the retained earnings accounts on the balance sheet (definition in  Transaction OB53).
    No documents are created with this, hence the balance
    carryforward cannot be carried out via the line item display.          
    Best Regards

  • What is meant by noted items

    hi all,
    can any one explain me what is meant by noted items incase of G/l ,AR & AP. as i found this word in FBL3N ,FBL1N & FBL5N also?
    thanks in advance...
    regds,
    raman

    Hi,
    Unlike manual accounting, you  can make certain transaction in SAP which don't have a impact on accounting but are necessary for dicision making or related to any future transactions. These are called Noted items. Noted items are only posted to one side of accounting.
    Eg: If we send a request to customer for down payment, it is not a business transations and have no impact on accounting, but we can pass a entry in SAP for such transaction and it will be a noted item. When actual down payment is received, this noted item is cleared.
    Reward points if answer is helpful.

  • What is meant by qualified advance payment?

    HEllo,,
    what is meant by qualified advance payment. I was reading the SAP help but couldn't understand. so, plz explain in  simple terms.
    Thanks,
    JEss

    Definition:
    With qualified advance payments, payroll takes place for some of the payroll elements in the first payroll run, and is transferred if necessary. The payroll run is not ended. Instead, it receives the Payroll Correction status. During the correction phase, you enter more payroll elements. In the subsequent payroll runs you carry out payroll for these remaining payroll elements and transfer them to your employees. The payroll program only finishes when accounting has been performed for all payroll elements.
    Just do this simple transactions:
    1. Maintain master data, example salary 1000 EUR
    2. Release payroll
    3. Run payroll u2013 will generate /559 1000 EUR (assume no other deduction)
    4. Process Bank Transfer, will generate 1000 EUR, don't forget to set flag for transfer >> employee get payment earlier than it should be, for example get the 1000 EUR in the middle of the month. >> it is qualified advance payment.
    5. Payroll Correction
    6. Change salary to 3000 EUR
    7. Release payroll
    8. Run payroll u2013 will generate /558 2000 EUR (3000-1000) and /564 1000 EUR
    9. Process Bank Transfer again, will generate 2000 EUR. >> normal regular payment, at the end of the month.
