What is reconciliation accounts?

Hi all,
Can anyone explain me clearly about reconciliation accounts with real time scenario.
thanxs in advance
hari

Hello Hari,
For each subledger account , you must keep at least one reconciliation account in the general ledger. When you post to an account in the subledger, the system automatically posts to the corresponding reconciliation account.
The "Receivables from goods and services" account is an example of a reconciliation account for customers. Enter Customer in the Reconciliation account for account type field. Enter a Vendor in this field for a vendor reconciliation account.
Using the reconciliation account procedure, it is possible to create a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement at any time, since the amounts posted to subledger accounts are also posted automatically in the general ledger.
During regular reconciliation, you check whether the balance of the reconciliation account matches the balance of the corresponding subledger account.
You define reconciliation accounts by specifying in the G/L account master record the account type (such as fixed assets, vendor or customer) for which the account is to be used. In this way, the account can only be assigned to accounts in the corresponding subledger. You set the assignment of the subledger account to a reconciliation account in the master record of the subledger account. You cannot post to reconciliation accounts manually .
Hope I had been able to help you. please assign points and let me know if you need anything specific.

  • 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.

  • What is asset reconciliation account.

    What is asset reconciliation account. Is this like other reconciliation accounts like A/P and A/R. How can we use it.

    Hi
    GL for Asset as Reconciliation is defined in FS00
    Account determination rule is defined under SPRO - FAg - AAg - Org structures - Asset classes
    The A/c determination is included in the Asset class
    In AO90 GL a/c is assigned to Account determination rule
    Finally, Asset master is created under a Asset class thru AS01
    Thank You,

  • Changing vendor reconciliation account

    Hi Experts
    There are around 1500 vendors for whom we entered wrong reconciliation account. There would be around 20000 line items (uploaded line items, open line items and cleared line items).
    Now I want to know what would be the best practice for correcting mistake.
    1. Do we need to create new vendor master and transfer balances to new balances to vendor master using LSMW program
    2. Do we need to change reconciliation account and run F101 every month end for next 8-10months unless all opening balance is knocked off.
    Please let me know impact of above two options considering volume and reporting.
    Meenu

    If option 2 is acceptable to business, then I would suggest to go with second option,  SAP allows to modify Reconciliation account with respective configuration change at master data setup.  However, I am not sure, how system would react in following situation, please do a POC for same:
    After recon account is changed from 1000 to 1001 at respective vendor master record, and you are processing a payment for against open item, which was recorded with 1000 recon account.  In this case, just double check, whether system is able bring open items for clearing and also check it is adjusting against 1000 recon account.
    Best regards

  • Change Customer Reconciliation Account

    I need some assistance in verifying the steps for changing Recon account for a group of customers.
    Scenario.  We have a group of customers (about 60) who have postings to them.  Some of the posting are open and some are cleared.  We need to change the reconciliation account on these customers.  We are running under ECC 6.0
    I know how to change the reconciliation account on the customer.  That is not a problem.  The problem comes with handling the open and cleared items already posted to these customers.
    I believe that at some point in time I need to run trans F101.  In order to run this transaction I need to define an adjustment account using transaction OBBW.  One of my questions here is do I define this as an adjustment account for both the old and the new reconciliation account or for just the old reconciliation account.
    Now most of my questions relate to:
    1.     What are the steps required in order to run F101(FAGLF101 for 6.0)?
    2.     Is there something that I will need to do each month or will this be a one time situation only for me?
    3.     Will/are there any special steps required for clearing the open items once the reconciliation accounts have been changed?
    4.     Is there anything else (any gotcha’s) that I should be aware of?
    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    Greg Brown
    FI/CO Consultant

    the thread you sent me answers part of my questions (namely the fact that I need multiple recon adjustment accounts and the basic steps for executing F101 (FAGLF101).
    However, with regards to my other questions, here is what I am interpreting from the thread.
      1.  Is there something that I will need to do each month or will this be a one time situation only for me?
    <b>Assumed answer:</b>  I will need to run this every month until the balance of the old recon account for the customers in question is zero.
      2. Will/are there any special steps required for clearing the open items once the reconciliation accounts have been changed?
    <b>Assumed answer:</b>  Apparently not.  I will clear the old items (posted but not cleared at the time I changed the recon account) from the old recon account; clear new items (posted and cleared after I change the recon account) for the customer for the new recon account.
    Am I correct on this?
    Any additional help that you can provide me will be greatly appreciated.

  • Reconciliation account

    Hi gurus,
    user wants to eliminate the reconciliation acccount Asset in Control data of GL Master. He wants to post directly to that GL account so that he is asking to eliminate the reconciliation account from the GL master. What will be the impact on financial statements?
    Thanks in advance
    laxmi.

    Hi
    Asset Accounting is a sub-ledger and the same is controlling from General Ledger through the reconciliation account.  Without the reconciliation account, your GL will not get updated for transactions happening in Sub-ledgers and I dont think the system will permit any more processing without a reconciliation account for the subledgers in the GL.

  • Change in Reconciliation Account of Vendor/Customer

    Hi Experts,
    Can any one please tell me the scenarios where in we change the reconciliation account for the customer and vendor. If we change, what are the precautions we have to take in terms of transferring balance or open items from old reconciliation account to new reconciliation account?
    Thanks,
    SravanK

    Hi,
                   There is no problem to change the account number in the vendor or customer master data, that is :
    All Document Items that were created in the old account will be posted in the same old account when you have a payment posting, compensations, etc.
    All document created after the change will be posted in the new account as well as the payment postings, compensations and others. 
    The system will separate the postings in accordance with the moment at the documents were created. 
    You can do a test in the development client before you do the change in the production. 
    For example :-
    You can create a new reconciliation account because you want the G/L accounts to separate out sales. Just switched the setting in Customer Master and off you go. SAP will recognized the old account for the old postings and used the new account for any new postings. 
    You should run balance sheet adjustment program after any reconciliation account change. 
    The system performs any adjustments required due to the change of reconciliation accounts or G/L accounts. The items from the old reconciliation accounts are allocated to the new accounts. 
    Since you cannot post to the reconciliation accounts directly, the postings are made to temporary adjustment accounts. 
    These adjustment accounts should be displayed along with the relevant reconciliation account in the balance sheet. The postings are then reversed after the balance sheet has been created. 
    The program for sorting the payables and receivables makes the necessary adjustments automatically. This means that you have to define the adjustment account numbers and the posting keys for these postings in the system. 
    If you purchase and install the FI-LC Consolidation application and have bought up a previous customer or vendor (thus also taking on his/her payables and receivables), please refer to the note in the report documentation on changed reconciliation accounts. To define the account numbers, select the activity Define adjustment accounts for changed reconciliation accounts in the Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Implementation Guide.
    You should only run this program if your new reconciliation account is classified differently from the original in your FS. e.g.. AR to Intercompany accounts. It will just reclassify the existing balance. The line items will not be transferred. If not then no need to run the program at all.

  • Change in customer reconciliation account

    Dear Friends,
    Can we change Reconciliation accounts in Customer master records ? If we can, so what about the old reconciliation account data or balance? How do we capture data from old reconciliation account to new reconciliation account?
    Please explain in complete details the exact procedure which we need to follow to correctly post data

    Hi Sanjeev
    It might be possible.. Try this
    1. Go to FS00 -Enter the Recon accounts (Old and New)  and tick the field "Ready For Input"
    2. Assign the New Recon account against the Old recon account
    IMG > FI > Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable > Business Transactions > Postings with Alternative Reconciliation Account > Define Alternative Reconciliation Accounts....
    3. Now make a transfer posting from F-02, Dr and Cr the same customer... In the Dr Line item, change the Recon account and in the Cr Line item, do not change the same

  • Change Reconciliation account - URGENT !!!

    Hi,
    Request you to please let me know what is the detailed process of maintaining the balance sheet adjustment account in OBBW and then running the SAPF101 report to allocate the balances in old recon account to new recon account.
    This is very urgent so any help right away would be highly appreciated.
    (If any one has solved such a problem recently, kindly share your personal number/email ID so that it can be discussed offline)
    Thanks in advance,
    Aditya

    Hi,
    We did change the Vendor Reconciliation account after posting the transaction data. The options are as under:
    1. If no transaction data is posted to Customer / Vendor account - it is simple and the reconciliation can be changed in the Master record.
    2. If the transaction data is already posted and if you want to change the reconciliation account in the master record, you can still change it. Here, the transaction data already posted will remain the old reconciliation. As and when the old open items are cleared (incoming / outgoing payment) it gets nullified and all the new postings will be reflected in the new reconciliation account.
    3. If the Balance is not zero, we can change the reconciliation Account, but we have to maintain a clearing Account / adjustment in Configuration (Transaction code OBBW) and then execute the transaction F101. While executing this transaction select the check box "Change Rec Account". After executing this transaction, this will move the balance to the new reconciliation account.
    Thanks

  • Change Reconciliation Account

    Hello,
    The user ask me to change Reconciliation accounts for some vendors and customers.
    I've done the following steps:
    1/ Set the u201CReconciliation Accountu201D field in the vendor master as optional field (customizing)
    2/ Define Adjustment Accounts for Changed Reconciliation Accounts (customizing)
    3/ Run Balance Sheet Adjustment Program - F101(FAGLF101 in ECC6)
    But, there is no posting, and nothing happened.
    My questions :
          - What FAGLF101 is supposed to do exactly ?
          - The vendor/customers can have open items before executing FAGLF101 ?
    Thanks you

    Hi Tarek
    I hope you have actually changed your Recon. account
    You can change the reconciliation Account in the Vendor or customer Master provided the field Status in your configuration allows changing the Reconciliation Account. Also, it is ideal that you change the reconciliation Account when the balance on the Reconciliation Account is Zero.
    To clear the reconciliation Account one option is that you create a new open item managed GL Account and use Transaction FB05 to clear each open item in the vendor Account one at a Time and post on the new open item clearing Account. Then change the reconciliation Account in the master data and then again use FB05 to post the transactions back on the vendor Account one at a time.

  • Change Reconciliation account to normal account

    Dear Friends,
    We have a requriement of Changing the reconciliation account to Normal account, This Business requirement is due to Miscelleneous advance booking made for Employees earlier and now the same are booking now individually with different Special GL.
    I have gone through various Threads but not get any possible solutions for the same. Can we do it in OAMK for Vendors (K) then system accept the same to change the Reconciliation account. Even Auditors are ready to accept this case.
    Please revert.
    Regards,
    Sandeep

    See, with the use of special G/L indicator you can specify in the set-up what G/L account advances transactions be posted. Standard posting key of customer transaction with special G/L indicator are 09 (dr) and 19 (cr). The system will always require you to indicate the special G/L indicator when you use the said posting keys.
    Also, as per client requirement and confirmation from auditor, you can change the recon acc in customer master (use tcode XD02 / FD02). Use tcode MASS, with object type KNA1- Customers and field KNB1-AKONT - Recon. account. You will be able to make mass changes in your relevant customer master.
    Hope it can assist you.
    All the best.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Change of reconciliation account in vendor master

    Dear Friends,
    Can anybody tell whether we can change a reconciliation account in vendor master or not.
    If we can change then what is the procedure of changing.
    Regards
    Rahul Jain

    Hello,
    You can change the recon account for a vendor/customer by transaction code XK02/XD02. The original transactions remain in the original recon account. After reconciliation change in customer/vendor will be posted to new reconciliation accounts and whatever old line items in the vendor/customer accounts will not change from old reconciliation accounts. If once cleared, manually you have to clear those open items from old reconciliations before shifting to new reconciliation accounts.
    Thanks

    If the Balance is not zero, then also you can change the reconciliation Account. In such a case you need to maintain a Clearing Account in Configuration and then execute the Transaction F101 with the check box "Change Rec Account" under the Parameters TAB in the transaction F110.
    This transaction will move the balance to the new reconciliation account,

  • Reconciliation accounts of venor and customer.

    HI ALL,
    Actually I have created "sundry Debtors" account as "account number "200150"
    and i have posted some amount to this account. that is "RS 2070"
    now i have created another account as "Sundry debtors" account as "Account Number 200111"
    now i want to transfer the "RS 2070" from "200150" account to "200111" account and i want to change the "200150" account as "advance to vendors (special g/l account).
    so how can i transfer that amount as a debit amount in the new account.
    in customer master previously i have assigned "200150" account. and i have done only one transaction.
    now i will change the reconciliation account as "200111" in the customer.
    Please let me know this process.
    thanks in advance.
    MR.RAO

    Hi MR Rao,
    Yes, what Nikitha has said above is the best option.
    Since you just have one posting in the customer account, it is better to reverse the document. Then, chnage the recon account in the customer master and post the transaction again.
    In OBXR, assign the GL 200150 as the Special GL account for the relevant customer recon account.
    Regards,
    Mike
