Why do we need account key in SD revenue account determination?

Hi,
Why do we need account keys in SD pricing procedure and revenue account determination? If we dont use account keys wht will be the problem in priding procedure and revenue account determination?

hello, friend.
account keys allow you more flexibility in assigning revenues, costs and other financial data to different GL accounts.
let us take, for example, surcharges and discounts. surcharges are extras charged to the customer for maybe freight, penalties and other services. discounts could be header or item related, and can take many forms (volume discounts, customer discounts, customer group discounts, etc.).
in SAP standard, condition types in pricing procedures that are surcharges (i.e. freight) are assigned to account key ERF. discounts are assigned ERS. when you do account determination, it can look like this:
condition type KF00 (freight), account key ERF, post to GL account 600010.
condition type K007 (discount), account key ERS, post to GL account 700010.
however, your company might want the different surcharges to be posted to different GL accounts. let us say your company wants you to define additional freight surcharges KF01 and KF02. the company also wants you to post these to separate GL accounts. so now, you define additional account keys ZF1 and ZF2. you then assign these to the condition types in the pricing procedure, and then do account determination as follow:
condition type KF01, account key ZF1, post to GL account 600020.
condition type KF02, account key ZF2, post to GL account 600030.
these are just some impact of account keys.
hope this helped you.

Why do we need more than one retained earnings accounts & what is the use?

Hi FI Experts,
Why do we need more than one retained earnings accounts, what is the precise use of two?
I know the retained earnings account is used to carry forward the balances during the year end to the balance sheet and there by making the p&L A/cs balances as zero.
I guess the second one is used for different valueations for example as depreciation accounts for different valuations will have different retained earnings accounts.
Kindly correct me if I am wrong and eloborate on the use having more than one retained earnings accounts.
with regards
Ramesh Y

Hi,
Well, separate retained earnings accounts are used for parallel financial reporting, it means when you need to report in accordance with, for example, local GAAP and IFRS or US GAAP at the same time. Several retained earnings accounts are necessary when the company chooses account based approach for parallel reporting. (GL accounts are broken down into several groups, for example you use different accounts for IFRS valuation, for local GAAP and they are also shared accounts common for both principles.)

Why do I need a TITLE to create an account?

Why, why, why do I need a title to create an account with a billing address? Is this really industry-standard encryption? BS on that! I never needed a title to obtain the credit card in the first place. This isn't security, it is mindlessness. I don't need a title in any aspect of my life, nor do I use one. I'm sure this sort of namby pamby bureaucratic inanity of being name police must have Steve spinning in his grave. My apologies, I meant Mr. Jobs. Get with the 21st century Apple, I mean a title, come on! Oh, and the choices are: Mr., Mrs., Ms., and Dr.. I guess Sir Paul McCartney can't use iTunes. If I used some title I'd be signing in as my parents and, God rest their souls, they are unable to provide me their credit card anymore (they never liked my music anyway). Hey Apple, I've got the money to spend baby, what concern is it of yours what I am called.

Have you created an iCloud account? This is not the account or ID you use for iTunes. And where exactly are you turning on notes? In what area within settings of your devices?

Compare with my cost of goods sold account to my sales revenue account

Hi,
i want to compare with my cost of goods sold account to my sales revenue account.
After PGI my COGS a/c will be debited INVENTORY a/c will be credited so after sales my SALES a/c credit & customer a/c debit . I want to see what is the difference value of COGS a/c with respective billing Sales A/C
No doudt we can see in Profit of margin in billing doc. It is quite impossible to see all document in respective wise. Please give a solution for which i can know what is profit of margin with comparing values in both of Account.
Thank's
Abhay

Hi,
This is possible through CO-PA report. You can get the result per sales order.
Also the same can be achieved in FI as follows:
Outbound delivery document thr" VL01N is captured in "Reference field" of FI doc (BKPF-XBLNR) generated through delivery.
If the settings are done by SD person to capture the outbound delivery no. in "Reference field" of FI doc generated through Billing document (VF01), then there will be a common field to compare the documents in both accounts.
In transaction FAGLL03, select the account COGS & Sales revenue account. Once the report displays, sort or take sub total on this common field "Reference".
This will give you difference between COGS & Sales revenue per document.
Hope this resolves your query.

Accural and Account Key with G/L Account

Dear Gurus,
I have confiquered new pricing schema for my client.In that i used Accounting key and Accurals.But those are not posting the amount in GL accounts.
Any Setting Missed??
Plz give some suggestions..............
thx in advance...........

Hi,
What for you are using condition type MWVS? Just check & cross check the real requirement and usage of condition type MWVS in MM schema.
May be you are using condition type MWVS for entering Input tax manually, if yes so, then Manual entries field in u2018Changes which can be made u2018segment and do it as C{Manual entry has priority}
Or ,If Manual entries field in u2018Changes which can be made u2018segment is D Not possible to process ,then have access sequence OR see the condition category, if it is D, then see where the tax need to pick up. Check Control data-2 for condition type MWVS and see the fields of Exclusion & Pricing date which make the differences. Just design MM schema with condition types by giving proper input to system to get expected result.
NOTE:
Your thread on "posting to G/L account" is already answered. If you have further any issue, start a new thread. Check & Read Forum Rules :

GL Account Key displays Chart of accounts concatenated with GL Account

Hi,
When we pull the GL Account Key object into a WEBI report, the Chart of Account value is concatenating with the GL Account number like ABDA/253616. In Bex Query, choosing the Chart of accounts and GL Account in the Analyser gives only the number value of the GL Account 253616.
How do we resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Anu

Hi,
We had a similar problem, and we fixed it by using a variable.
Create a variable (e.g. GL Account) with the following formula:
=tonumber(replace([L01_GL_ACC_Key];"ABDA/";""))
where,
[L01_GL_ACC_Key] = Original Account key with the Chart of Accounts
"ABDA/" The piece of the account that you want removed
The formula will convert your account number to a number by replacing the "ABDA/" with a blank (the "" in the formula)
Note: There is no space between the two quotation marks
You can now use the variable in your report instead of the original account key.

VF03: Condition type with no account key is posted to accounting

Hi,
I have one condition type JA1Y for which no Account Key is maintained in the pricing procedure.But in VF03 I am able to see JA1Y along with other condition types with account keys.
Under JA1Y there are 5 line items & I have a message
"No G/L account found in Account determination type KOFI"
How can it be possible? How can I avoid this?
Helpful answers will be rewarded.
Thanks & Regards
Swathi

Hi,
You have to maintain account determination:
SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Account Assignment/Costing -> Revenue Account Determination -> Assign G/L Accounts.
Here you have different ways of assign an account. Many of them use key account, but others not. Also, you can define your own access sequence.

Revenue Account Determination

<b>Why Material Account Assignment Group Important? Because at my clients place without maintaining Material Account Assignment Group they are able to determine the Revenue Account. They needs to know what is the advantage if they use Material Account Assignment Group.Can anybody help.</b>

See the reson behind maintaining Account Assigment Gp for material is to post the Revenue of Different on the Basis of Material Type .
Let say if u want the transaction related to Raw Material to be posted in different account than that of Semi Finished goods ,Finished Goods & Trading Goods for same Customer.
Account Determination Based on Account Key + Customer Account Assignmnet Gp + Material Account Assignmnet Gp .
So if the Accounting Key Say for Revenue account it is ERL and customer is same suppose 20003738 then if u want to post the Amount for Raw material , Semifinished, Finished goods and Trading Goods in different account then only option left is to maitained diffrerent Material Account assignment Gp and on the basis of Different combination u can very well post the Revenue in different account and Track the same.
Hope this clarify
U can go for it .

Need clarification on Rebate condition account keys

Hi Guys,
I need some clarification on Rebate condition account keys .Question is why rebate condition type has two account keys eg.ERB & ERU and why not we make it seperately as other conditions .APPreciate your comments on this .
Thanks and regards
Amar

ERB: is the account key for Rebate Rate
ERU: *is the account key for the Accrual Rate*
As you know both these Account Keys are assigned to the Rebate Condition Type in the pricing procedure. All the Rebate &
Accruals are posted in the separate G/L Account for the Rebates. So, ERB for rebate this account key posted to revenue a/c
ERU is price this is posted amount to accrual a/c
To further explain it.
ERB acct key which is used to record the sales deductions amount.
System will keep the track of billing documents relevant for rebate processing. System automatically posts the accruals so that accounting has an overview of the accumulate value for the rebate..the value will posted in the G/L account based on ERU.
Hope it can assist you.
Thanks & Regards

Why do I need to log into google to use feedly? And, when I do, it wants me to give access to my to my account.

Is this safe, why should I have to sign in with my google account? And why do I need to give access to my account?

What does that mean. I'm just asking how to use one of the products that I was encouraged to use by a Mozilla email. I was worried about the issue of safety and privacy of having to sign in with another companies account (Google) and give access to that account.

Pricing Procedure - Account Key & Accrls - Accruals configuration

Hi guys ,
I have question about these two config settigs for pricing procedure.
1 AccKey - Account Key
2 Accruals
Standard system has some GL accounts, such as ERB,ERF,ERL,etc .
If we need to have specific GL accounts for example, vendor discount,fuel surcharge we need to cofigure them and add them in pricing procedure.
I was wondering , who would be the functional group to configure those GL accounts, FICO or SD ?
Where can see the config of GL accounts ?
Thanks
Dona

Hi Done,
As per my under stand ERL, ERF and ERS are account keys not G/L accounts.
These account keys are assigned to particular G/L accounts so that integration will happend between SD and FI.
U can define ur own account keys as per client requirement. This account keys are defined by SD cunsultants.
menu path for define account keys:IMG- sales and Distribution- basic function- pricing - account assignment and costing- revenue account determination and difine and assign account key.
here u can define and assign account keys.
Hope this will helps u.
Thanks & Regards

Accrual Account Key change for Condition type

       FMA3               ZPP               ZP2
I need to change GL account for FMA2 Condition type. I only need to change for accruals on FMA2. Please let me know how I can do it in "Prepare Revenue Accounts and change GL in VKOA.
Your help is appreciated. Let me know if need any further information.
Thanks
Jaggi

hi..
If the accrual is ticked in condition type in M/06, it should have an account key assigned to the condition type in the pricing procedure in M/08.
Go to your contion type ZPFV and check whether you have checked Accrual or not..
then go to ur pricing procedure ZUELOC and check the last two colums for your condito type i.e. Account Key and Accrual Key.
Maintain these..
try this if it works.
Thanks...

Account grouping for account key PRD

Hello Gurus,
Is it possible to add new account grouping or modifier ( standard SAP provides Blank, PRA,PRF) to account key for Price difference account PRD in OBYC (automatic account determination) transaction.
The requirement is we are using PO condition type for freight and surcharge which is to be paid to a different vendor . In purchasing pricing procedure condition types can be mapped to freight and surchage account keys, in turn mapped to different accounts in OBYC
In the case of invoicing if difference in freight and surchage value occurs, system post both balance to PRD account through account modifier blank.So its difficult to identify what caused the account price difference.
If we can add new account grouping to how to attach to the invoice verification procedure?
Any help is appreciated
regards
Megha

Hi,
Group Modifier Key which has a different meaning depending on the procedure. It is used to differentiate account determination. The key's meaning is predefined in the SAP system and cannot be changed.
For offsetting entries for inventory postings, you enter the key which
is assigned to the movement type and posting string.
So the meaning here is you can define your own keys but it should be assigned to the Movement type and posting string which is very difficult as these two affects all types of businesses.
Thanks
Krishna.
