Write off using Dunning

Hi All,
I want to write off open items during dunning run in FICA using transaction code (FPVA/FPVB).
Can anyone let me know , which function module i should assign in Dunning Activity for write off.
Thanks
Puneet

Hi Puneet,
The FM that you can use for performing a write-off is BAPI_CTRACDOCUMENT_WRITEOFF.
However, the import parameters for the FM may not get all the values during the dunning activity.
So I would recommend you to develop a custom FM and assign that to the corresponding dunning activity. In the custom FM, retrieve all the necessary parameters and then pass them in the FM BAPI_CTRACDOCUMENT_WRITEOFF
Hope it helps..
Thanks,
Amlan

SAP IS-Media: Mass write-off leads to reversal of already paid billing document

Hi All,
We have business issue in IS-Media as below
While doing mass write-off using transaction code FP04M, already existed payment document for that particular cycle is getting reversed.
we can see payment reversal document under liability account - payments tab of the order.
We know this is not specific to particular customer.
We would like to understand why while doing write off, already existed payment document is getting reversed. We request experts to help us on this at the earliest.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Regards,
Muneendra

Hi Tim,
Thank you very much for your answer. When we run the monitoring process program RJKREMIND01, the system generates reversal billing documents to reverse billing documents from orders that have not been paid. This happens when the orders are in the closure monitoring level. The reversal document set in customizing isn't suitable in this case due to fiscal reasons, so we need to change the reversal billing document when we run RJKREMIND01.
Thanks and regards, Renato

Write-off (Mvt type: 551) in batch

Hi experts, as titled, I am looking for ways to do write-off using movement type 551 in batch, as in doing write-off for a couple of sites (stores) at the same time.
I have come up with below.
1. Either to do stock adjustment (e.g. MIGO, MB1C, MB1A) in batch, but the standard only supports doing adjustment one site by one site
2. Use T-code MI31 which supposedly can support adjustment in batches, but it has predetermined movement type of 701/702.
Would you have other greater methods for this scenario?
Thanks and BR
Dom

Hi Dom,
what do you mean one site by one site? Each document line has it's own plant, you can have different plants in different lines...

Edgar

Post Write-off from Disputes with Approval Process

Hi,
we want to post write-offs using the dispute escalation process. before the write-offs are posted they need to go for approval. is there any functionality within dispute mgmt which can be leveraged to post write-off from the dispute with approval

Hi,
When you set up the escalation proces with reason code write off you can do it in two ways. Set up a Workflow for the approval process. Escalations are specifically meant for that. This is possible with the standard workflow.
If you want to work w/o workflow. Then you can have the responsible person go into UDM_disputes query all specific escalation reason and e.g. change status or maybe create a different escalation reason. (E.g. Write off request/ Write off granted)
You can check if you can change the roles that certain functions can only set certain reasons.

711 PI write off question

Hi All
To speed up the PI process I have tested that you can move the 'lost stock' quantity from one storage type and bin to the 999 storage type using LT01 and then write off using LI21.
It creates the correct 711 movement type for stock write off.
What are the pitfalls in adopting this method?
Thanks in advance
Darren

Hi Jurgen
Strange but true!
I counted the actual clicks and key presses it takes to process an individual stock adjustment for one part number using LICC, LI11N, LI20 and LI21. It took less clicks and key presses using standard SAp PI than any other write off process I have tested. They included writing off to a cost centre and my previous test of moving the stock difference from its bin to a bin in storage type 999 that just needed LI21 to write off. (even when the processes I have tested have less T-codes!)
I was going to use the LT01 and LI21 process that I tested for just writing off stock adjustments as and when the warehouse staff find a discrepency.
I have a company reluctance to use SAP PI as it "has too many transactions and is too complicated".
Thanks for your suggestion Jurgen, I will enlighten the necessary people.....

Darren

IS-Telecommunication RMCA - FI-CA Write offs

Dear All,
This is related to IS-Telecommunication. FI-CA
Scenario: Invoice has been posted with 1121 $ including tax of 121. It means..
Customer account    1121 Dr
Revenue Account 1000 Cr
VAT on sales 121 Cr.
When I am trying to do the write off(FP04 by using reason codes). System is posting the document as below:
VAT on sales account 121 Dr
Expense account   1000 Dr
   To Customer Account 1121.
I would like to transfer the total amount to the expense account instead of transfer to VAT account, if I use some specific reason codes (Like Bankruptcy).
Expected account entry:
Expense account 1121
to Customer account 1121.
I found there is a event 5070 (Write-off: Tax Special Features ) in order to meet the above requirement.
If any one knows about the requirement and solution. Please advise.
Thanks in advance

Project Billing "write-off" options

I'm attempting to determine the best method of "writing off" transactions on direct projects that have been reported as billable, accrued revenue but will never be billed. Please consider the following narrative as an example:
A consultant (consultant x) charges April time and expense to project 10001 in a billable capacity (charged transactions to a billable task). The transactions are cost distributed, revenue distributed and an invoice is subsequently produced. All cost and revenue transactions are produced, interfaced and ultimately posted to the general ledger in April. The month of April is closed in PA and the invoices for the April billing cycle are produced. Project 10001's draft invoice includes those charges reported by consultant x and is distributed to the project manager for approval. The project manager reviews the invoice review and determines that consultant x's transactions will never be billed and instructs the accounting group to write off the transactions.
Challenge: we need a way to "write-off" (reduce revenue and change billing status) transactions that will allow for consistent reporting and measurement. Specifically, we need to be able to determine all write-off's (revenue/billing reductions) in a given period that relate to original transactions from an earlier or different period. In short, we want to establish a policy and procedure for consistently processing and reporting these types of conditions.
Proposed Options:
1) use the "special" non-billable adjustment option from either expenditure inquiry or invoice review to change the billing status from billable to non-billable.
Pros:
a) transactions will remain on the project in the capacity they were reported by the employee
b) an adjustment record will be created in the PA_Expend_Item_adj_Activities table which will include the adjustment activity code (i.e. Billable Reclass, Non-billable reclass, billing hold, billing hold release, etc.)
c) history of who created original transactions and adjustments is available (full audit trail)
d) a reversing revenue entry will be created in the PA_Cust_Rev_Dist_Lines_all table which will allow us to track the dates (gl period) of the revenue adjustment and compare it to the original transaction dates.
Cons:
a) to the average users the transaction on a billable task flagged as non-billable with no corresponding revenue may look unusual because there is no description explaining why the adjustment existed. the only way to determine that revenue existed and was subsequently reversed is to look at item details- revenue details.
b)The revenue write-off will be charged to the same accounts (revenue and inventory) that the original transaction was booked to but in reverse. we don't have the ability to deflect the "write-off" to a bad debt account versus a direct write-off of revenue.
c) The employee's utilization calculations will be impacted by changing the billing status of the transactions and reducing the corresponding revenue. we may need to update the utilization report to reflect these types of transactions differently.
2) use the "special" transfer adjustment option to transfer the transaction from the originating billable task to a non-billable destination task on the project in question.
Pros:
a) the average user will easily see that the transaction in question has been reversed and b) the revenue subsequently written off by the negative revenue on the reversal transaction
c) an adjustment record will be created in the PA_Expend_Item_adj_activities table which will include the applicable adjustment activity code(s) (Transfer Back-out, Transfer Originating, Transfer Destination).
d) history of who created original and adjustments is available.
a reversing revenue entry will be made via e) the negative reversal entry created in the PA_Cust_Rev_Dist_Lines_All table.
Cons:
a) the original transaction is being altered (transferred) by accounting. the integrity of the transaction as it was submitted by the source employee may be compromised.
b) there is no easy way for the average end user to know where the transaction was transferred to. the information is available via ad hoc reporting from database tables but looking at expenditure inquiry for a given project you will not be able to determine where the transaction went if it was transferred to another task and many tasks exist or if it was transferred to another project entirely.
c) The revenue write-off will be charged to the same accounts (revenue and inventory) that the original transaction was booked to but in reverse. we don't have the ability to deflect the "write-off" to a bad debt account versus a direct write-off of revenue.
d) The employee's utilization calculations will be impacted by changing the billing status of the transactions and reducing the corresponding revenue. we may need to update the utilization report to reflect these types of transactions differently.
e) As a common practice, each project will need at least one "non-billable" task to capture such write-off transfers.
3) use a write-off event (both revenue and billing) to reduce the project by the aggregate amount of all transactions in question.
Pros:
a) employee specific transactions and ultimately utilization results will not be impacted by the independent event transaction.
b) by modifying our autoaccounting rules we will be able to book the "write-off" to an account other than a revenue account. (I believe, more research necessary)
Cons:
a) No link back to actual transactions.
b) original transactions will remain untouched and will appear as though they were billed and will show up on the invoice and detail reports to the client along with an aggregated event for the total write-off amount.
Any thoughts or opinions you can provide about the best practice in Oracle will be greatly appreciated.

Diana,
Here's another response from a (very) senior Projects consultant. Her comments are in CAPS, so they can be dinstinguished from your comments:
"I recommend following the approach she outlines in Section 2, with the following additions:
SECTION 2) use the "special" transfer adjustment option to transfer the Transaction from the originating billable task to a non-billable Destination task on the project in question. CORRECT.
A) SET UP THE WBS TO HAVE A TOP LEVEL NON-BILLABLE TASK, ON EVERY PROJECT, WITH A TASK NUMBER OF :"WRITE-OFF".
B) WRITE AUTOACCOUNTING RULE , BASED ON TASK NUMBER, TO ENSURE THAT ANY TRANSACTIONS CHARGED (TRANSFERRED) TO "WRITE-OFF" TASK WILL BE POSTED TO A "WRITE-OFF/BAD DEBT" ACCT IN GENERAL LEDGER.
C) CREATE A DFF AT THE EXPENDITURE ITEM LEVEL WHICH CAN BE POPULATED AT THE TIME OF TRANSFER, TO INDICATE WHERE THE TRX IS BEING TRANSFERRED TO. IT IS TRUE THAT TRANSFER ACTIVITY REPORT WILL TELL YOU THIS AS WELL, BUT IF YOU
WANT TO SEE IT ONLINE DURING EXPEND. INQ, THEN DFF IS FINE.
D) AS TO CONCERNS ABOUT "THE INTEGRITY" OF THE TRANSACTION AS IT IS SUBMITTED BY THE EMPLOYEE BEING COMPROMISED, THIS IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE, BUT IF THIS IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS CONCERN, THEN I WOULD CONSIDER CREATING AN ALERT TO THE EMPLOYEE WHO ENTERED THE ORIGINAL TRX, ADVISING THEM OF THE CHANGE AND REQUESTING THEIR REVIEW AND OR APPROVAL OF THE TRANSFERRED TRX. I CAN SEE THIS BECOMING QUITE CUMBERSOME THOUGH, AND, OVERALL, ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENTS MANIPULATE TRANSACTIONS FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES ALL THE TIME AS STANDARD PRACTICE, SO I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS IS AN ISSUE HERE.
E) AND LASTLY, IT IS TRUE THAT AS A COMMON PRACTICE, EACH PROJECT WILL NEED A
'WRITE-OFF" TASK AS A STANDARD PART OF IT'S WBS-- SO WHAT? IT'S JUST ONE MORE TASK IN YOUR WBS. BUILD IT INTO YOUR PROJECT TEMPLATES, AND MAKE IT NOT CHARGEABLE UNTIL WRITE OFFS BECOME NECESSARY. AS TO UTILIZATION, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH INFO IN THE CLIENT QUESTION TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE PROPERLY.
THAT'S ABOUT IT. HOPE THIS HELPS.
BEST REGARDS, PAT"

Asset write off in the current fiscal year.

Hi Experts,
I want to write off an asset in next 4 periods of the current fiscal year 2007. For example:
Asset 11000
APC value: 10000
APC Date: 01.01.2005
The useful life will end in fiscal year 2008.
The book value left at the begining of the current fiscal year 2007 Rs. 4000.00
In the current fiscal year this asset has already been depreciated for previuos 3 periods.
Now Business wants to write off ( fully depreciated ) this asset in next 4 periods equally and then if the book value and tax value is nil, they want to scap the asset.
Now can you please tell me how to make this happened. Its very urgent. If you need any more information, most welcome.
Rgds,
BABA

Hi,
You would have to set the asset to manual depreciation(Depr.Key MANU)
and generate a posting via ABMA for each of the periods.
Kind regards

Write off cash discount in lockbox irrespective of the permitted pmnt diff

Hey,
We are in to lockboxes, at times we receive payments including discounts..and as such when the lockbox runs, it creates credit memos on customers for the discount amount, what we want is to write off the discount amount ...I know we can do it in OBA3..but that setting allows me to write off discount only to the maximum of the permitted payment difference... I want to use reason code to write the discount off (as the reason code has a check box through which I can ignore the payemnt diff)....again for this..........we have setting in OBCW.... but I am not able to use it..is there any one who has succesfully used OBCW--> "reason code for clearing payment according to payment advice"..
Thanks

How to map Write-Off details to GL

Hi,
I'm using cst_write_offs,cst_write_off_details tables in one of my query. I want to know how we can map these tables to the GL tables.
Scenario:
Need to fetch rcv_transaction_id and po_distribution_id from the above write-off tables.
I am getting WRITE_OFF_ID from other query which I'm passing to these write-off tables to get the write-off data.
However there are multiple records in the cst_write_off_details table for one WRITE_OFF_ID. I found that AE_HEADER_ID and AE_LINE_ID combination is unique for these records.
Is there any chance of getting single record from this table?
Is there any revelence in AE_HEADER_ID and AE_LINE_ID with GL header and line details and can we map those?
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Ravindra

Hi Ravindra,
The AE_HEADER_ID is a reference for an accounting entry created at subledger level .... it is not directly linked in to GL_JE_HEADERS/ GL_JE_LINES , however the link between them is made available in the GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES table.
In the GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES table, you have a column for JE_HEADER_ID which is a reference available in GL_JE_HEADERS Table ... and you have a column for REFERENCE_7 which is a reference to the AE_HEADER_ID in the XLA_AE_HEADERS table.

Asset Write-off after retirement

Dear Masters in Asset Accounting,
I have a situation where I have to write off the asset in secondary ledger (Ledger A2). The problem is that the asset retirement (ABAVN) was done in the past so I can't write-off the same by using T-code ABSO. Also, we are posting the depreciation to that asset since last 5 months, so I can't write-off by using FB01 / FB01L.
Is there any other way I can write off the asset after retirement only in secondary ledger?
Thank you for reading this and your help.
Jay

Hi Bernhard,
Why you can't make a write-off?
A: Because it gives me an error message. When I try to use ABSO, it gives me an error message saying Asset retirement has alredy been posted so transaction not possible. I am using ABSO because I want to make changes only in ledger A2 (secondary ledger / US GAAP). I can't ABAVN again because it will affect both the ledgers which I want to change only US GAAP.
Is the asset deactivated after ABAVN?
A: No, the asset is not deactivated. It is still active and in use.
Thank You,
Jay

Lockbox write-offs and reson codes

Hi
I have been looking at implementing reason codes to apply different gl's for automatic write-off for vendor and customer payments. The tolerances are set and the reason codes and gl's are set, however we want to apply this change for lockbox processing as well. The file we are using is BAI2 and I have been advised that we can get a reason code added by the bank to process these write-off's automatically, however I am looking at the file format and I can't work out which field on the file relates to the reason code, I am not sure the format I have is correct. Can some one please advise the correct BAI2 format and which field should hold the reason code. Also if I then I manage to add a reason code is this the correct approach for differences with lock-box
thanks.

Write off asset under construction

we have one AUC, we have create a PO for this AUC, the AUC has amount of 200K USD, we haven't transfer it to fixed assets, how to write off the AUC, (we want to completely write off this AUC, because the company code which creates this AUC going bankruptcy), I tried ABAON, ABAVN, but this is specific to asset, asset under construction can't be used. any idea? thanks

Hi,
1) AIAB - Distribute (update a rule with G/L settlement with a GL account for 100%)
AIBU - Settle (Execute settlement)
Or
2)
Posting direct FI entry.
FB01
Debit 40 posting key GL expenses to which you write off,
Credit 75 posting key Asset #

Accrual Write-off Amt in Accrual Write-Off & Accrual Recon report not tele

Hi,
Need a help here,
Oracle EBS version : 11.5.10.2
The Accrual Write-Off Amount in Accrual Write-off report does not tele with the Write-Off Amount shown in Accrual Reconciliation Report, any clues to investigate? This happens for the first time after we apply an Oracle mega patch, in the past, the amount from the 2 reports were always tele.
Thanks.

You are right contains both matched and not matched records in this table.
This is a temp table only, so the actual data is populated from the po and ap/inventory tables
by the accural reconciliation build process in to this table.
This table is the staging area for managing accruals - review/write off.
If you write off the information is marked in both the temp table and also the source tables.
So next time you re-populate the temp table (accrual reconciliation build) you could wipe the temp
table and bring the data again but exclude written off transactions.
Doing mass accrual writeoff is not possible, without a customization.
Identify what happens in a writeoff and do the same using custom code.
I have designed such an application at one of my client.
