WorkFlow Customization for COGS Account

Hello All,
I am curious to know if any one has created custom functions for
OM: General Cost of Goods Sold Account.
Scenario: Make a sale on OM and tr transactions to GL and review the journals.
CR: 40 (Raw Material)
CR: 15(Labor)
CR: 10(OH)
DB: 65(COGS)
The default workflow is crediting all cost to COGS account defined at the item level but we want to break it down to individual raw material expense accounts. For this, I believe we need to get cost elements from the cost tables based on item id from the sales order line. And, hard code the accounts for each cost elements. That is supposed to be done as function in workflow and modify the flow with new attributes.
Sounds simple but we are completely new to workflow and trying to understand where to start.
I would appreciate if any one could share their knowledge on such custom functions in workflow.
Thanks a bunch in advance.

Hi,
I have implemented changes in generating cogs account using workflow to have only one code combination id.
I don’t if it’s possible to customize cogs workflow in order to split cogs into two or more accounts. To do that, we implemented a custom in gl interface that generates this split, creating a credit in the account combination defined by the workflow and as many debits as our expenses accounts are.

Account determination for COGS account by customer

Dear gurus
I’d like to get advice about account determination for COGS account.
I have requirement to determine COGS account based on “Customer”.
If the customer is outside the group, we want to charge to
“Sales: Third-party” and “COGS: Third-party” accounts.
And if the customer is in the group, we want to charge to
“Sales: Intercompan” and “COGS: Intercompany” account.
However, since COGS account is determined from Valuation class in
Material master (OBYC), it cannot be determined from “Customer”.
(Because same material can be sold to third-party and intercompany too)
Do you know any solution for it?

Hi
The only other way I could think of is to do an enhancement at the time of delivery to read the customer and substitute the GL Account for COGS based on Customer recon Account.
The sales can easily be seggregated based on Customer Account Assignment Group in the customer Sales Area. Assuming the material account assignment group is 01 and customer account assignment group are as under:
External Customer 01
Group Customer 03
Now in VKOA you can seggregate the revenue account determination for Group and external customer based on different customer account assignment group.
The only issue is for COGS GL for which you might want to look at Enhancement or Split Valuation that I talked about earlier.
Thanks & Regards

Profit Center Determination For COGS Account

Hi
While I post a goods issue based on a sales order , an accounting document gets created as mentioned below
Cr Stock Acct    124900    (OBYC-BSX)                 Profit Center from Material Master
Dr COGS Acct   471053    (OBYC-GBB-VAX)        Profit Center from 0KEL (Sales Sub-rule)
This is perfectly correct for me.
And while I post a goods issue based on a purchase order (Inter Company Stock Transport Order) - Using PO document type 'NB' and outbound delivery type 'NLCC', an accounting document gets created as mentioned below
Cr Stock Acct    124900    (OBYC-BSX)                 Profit Center from Material Master
Dr COGS Acct   471053    (OBYC-GBB-VAX)        Profit Center from Material Master,
But I want the COGS acct to pick the profit center from 0KEL (Sales Substitution Rule) - the same as how I get in sales
Can some one help me how can I get the profit center derived from 0KEL in the purchasing cycle
Regards
Prakash.G

Hi Vijay,
Thank you so much for a quick reply. Much appreciated.
I have already maintained default entries but some reason STO's of cross company code transactions are not populating profit centres. We are using ECC 6 EHP6. If you find any other thread that help me solve this error please let me know.

CO-PA: COGS accounts created as cost elements

hello,
I have a question regarding COGS accounts, being created as cost elements. This was not causing problems, because client was using real internal orders for profit analysis. In the next phase of project, during implementation of costing based CO-PA, now I have problem, because of this situation, because I can not delete created cost elements (only possible at the beginning of the new fiscal year) , and the system asks for cost object assignment during GI creation. I was considering OKB9 assignment, but I think this will cause double values in CO-PA. Maybe temporary solution, by using real internal orders till the end of the year, and then deleting existing cost elements for COGS accounts, could work?
Please, advise what to do to solve this situation.
Thanks in advance,
Dusko

Hope you are not using account based COPA
To avoid double values in COPA, you can do one of two things,
1) after the costs are transferred to the internal order, you can just keep them there without doing settlement, let the users know that there will be under absorption for the internal order.
2) If the users are not willing to have under absorption in the internal order, you can transfer the costs to a value feild in COPA which is not reflected in the report in KE30 (Remember that you may loose one value feild in COPA this way)
Both make no effect on KE30 report as data will be transfered to COPA at the time of billing

Please check your "Inter-company Transactions Flow" setup for COGS account.

How many emails can I have on my account? Can I have client folders to customize for each client?

At this time FormsCentral doesn't support folders.

Standard for workflow customization

All, I was asked to modify PO approval workflow to provide access to PO file attachments
in the approval notification itself. To achieve this I have modified seeded notifications,
messages and packages apart from creating new packages, messages and notifications.
I am wondering if changing the seeded stuff is the right way!
Please advice.
Thanks.

Workflow creation for Payment

Hi
I am new to workflow and am looking for the steps needed to complete payment processing.
The requirement is that when a user enters a document using f-53 and parks it, workflow should be triggered and a mail sent to the supervisor who will then approve or deny the payment.
Step by step instructions on how to configure this would be greatly appreciated.
Also what is the procedure for making a workflow for creating and printing a customer invoice from billing documents?

hi
check this customization path
Financial Accounting (New) --> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable --> Business Transactions --> Release for Payment -->

Workflow Error Message: System Account - The Workflow could not set Content Approval Status

This is the first time I try an approval workflow. I am using a template in MS Word and assigned an approval workflow to it. The approval workflow is only going to one person in this case.
When I start the work flow the following 3 error messages show up:
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The Workflow could not set Content Approval Status. Enable content moderation for this list and run the workflow again.
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the e-mail has a valid recipient.
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
Thank you for your kind guidance.

Hi,
For the first error: Did you set Content Approval in the workflow? If so, see if you have it in the versioning settings of the list settings.
For the second error: double check your recipient is set up as being valid. Did you type in the email address or is it referring to a people picker field? also, make sure that in the workflow for the email that you actually populated it in the
To: field.
for the third error: I suspect that either your farm is not configured for email. Or, this error is a knock on from the second error. If you get the second error rectified it may clear this error. If not then double check the email settings
for your farm.

Free of charge po line items for all account assignments

Dear All,
Is there any setting by which for all account assignments/item category combinations, I should get option to create free of charge PO line items, irrespective of the preceeding documents through which I prepare PO (from PR).
I have checked in account assignment configuration and didnt find any fields that favor the setting.
Please let me know if there is any customization setting for above requirement.
Best Regards,
Krishna

Hi,
The 'Free Items' indicator in the overview is only used to facilitate
the switching off of the Inv.Receipt flag and the GR-based IV flag.
Note that the 'Free Items' indicator is not stored on the PO item
table EKPO.
The Inv.Receipt flag (and the GR-based IV flag) are the fields that
really controls if an item is 'free' or not.
So, the field is initiated based on the values in those fields rather
than from input from the user.
When an invoice is expected it's not a free-item. This indicator
invoice receipt is chosen from the main-item and also from the
customization maintained for item category 0 in table T163.
I am afraid that I have to say that in standard SAP design
it is not possible to default the "Free item" flag.

Manual G/L postings for COGS in third party sales

Hello,
I have a scenario where we have the COGS G/L which is blocked for Manual postings. Now in case of a Third party sales scenario when the PO is created from the Sales order it is a account assigned PO so the G/L determined from GBB- VAX is the COGS G/L. But now as this G/L is locked for manual posting I am not able to process the PO.
Is there anyway I can bypass this lock for this particular scenario.
Kindly advise,
Points will be awarded,
Thanks

Hi,
Create a new G/L account for COGS -THIRD PARTY SALES
but dont select the check box "automatic postings only" & save the G/L account.
Now assign the same G/L account in VAX- GBB in OBYC.
Hope it will work for you and then reward.

Auto selected G/L Account and COGS Account by CardCode then ItemGroup

Hello,
I am new to the community. I have been working on learning SAP B1 8.8 since the beginning of the year. So far its been a great time
I have been searching for a solution for method of having multiple G/L Accounts and COGS Accounts in Delivery Notes. I have done the following:
1. Create the following chart of accounts
     a. Revenues -MB North America
     b. Revenues -MB Latin America
     c. Revenues -VC North America
     d. Revenues -VC Latin America
     e. COGS -MB North America
     f. COGS -MB Latin America
     g. COGS -VC North America
     h. COGS -VC Latin America
The company being setup sales motherboards and video cards. I need to track the sales of each division by item group. The problem is that the company shares warehouses for both divisions. I tried managing the journal posting by Item Level. This would have worked if the warehouses where not used to fulfill orders from both division. This leaves me with managing the posting by Warehouse or by Item Group. Unfortunately, none of the three methods take into account the BP to post.
I am trying to tell SAP B1 to take into consideration the BP and them the item. After it will need to refer to the Item Group, the system will need to post each Delivery Note Line Item to the appropriate G/L Account and COGS. I have been researching FMS structure trying to accomplish this task but I have not had much success.
To help make the query, I am using the AliasName in the OCRD as a holder for the division. '01' for North America and '02' for Latin America.
Any ideas on how to manage a divisional revenue/cost structure that can be group by item group and share warehouses?

I close the other thread. The system made two posting.
Here is an example FMS I have been working on. I did not use the OCRD.AliasName as the text property did not match. I used the BP GroupName for reference.
SELECT
     CASE T1.[GroupName]
               WHEN 'High Tech'
               THEN
                    CASE T3.[ItmsGrpNam]
                         WHEN 'apple'
                         THEN '421000000100101'
                         ELSE 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
                         END
     ELSE 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
     END
FROM OCRD T0 INNER JOIN OCRG T1 ON T0.GroupCode = T1.GroupCode, OITM T2 INNER JOIN OITB T3 ON T2.ItmsGrpCod = T3.ItmsGrpCod
WHERE T2.[ItemCode] = $[$38.1.0] and T0.[CardCode] = $[$4.0.0]
It seems to be working, but I have not had any luck is the "ELSE" statement. I would like it to lock the entry if possible to insure the correct GL Account number is used.
