Zero-Balance clearing account - account determination
Hi all
For the different accounting principle (US GAAP / IAS and so on) we do not use the ledger solution, we use the account solution.
There numbering for the accounts is as follows:
xxxx00 accounts for all accounting principles
xxxx01 accounts for US GAAP
xxxx02 accounts for IAS
xxxx03 accounts for local GAAP
In the same way, we set up the cost elements for assessment (e.g. 920'003) and the corresponding GL-account for the backward integration from CO -> FI (e.g. 930'003).
Requirement:
For the profit center, the must be establised a complete balance sheet and P&L statement. This for all 3 accouting priniples.
Means we need a complete P&L statement und balance sheet per profit center for US GAAP, IAS and local GAAP.
Problem:
As soon as a cross profitcenter assessment is done in the CO-OM (form cost center A to cost center B), there is a booking on the zero-balance clearing account.
In the customizing you can just set one single zero balance clearing account (in our case 199'990). But for a correct setting up of the 3 accounting principles we should be able to customize different zero-balance clearing accounts:
Example:
in CO-OM (cost center assessment)
Profitcenter A: -100 cost element 920'003
Profitcenter B: +100 cost element 920'003
in FI-module (backward integration CO to FI):
Profitcenter A: -100 GL account 930'003 -> ok
Profitcenter A: +100 GL account 199'990 -> Problem -> should be 199'993
Profitcenter B: +100 GL account930'003 -> ok
Profitcenter B: -100 GL account 199'990 -> Problem -> should be 199'993
If you could set up different zero balance clearing accounts, then you could print out the balance sheet and P&L statement in the FI module per profit center as follows:
US-GAAP: accounts xxxx00 and xxxx01
IAS: accounts xxxx00 and xxxx02
local: accounts xxxx00 and xxxx03
Swiss GAP FER: xxxx00 und xxxx01 Konten
Steuer: xxxx00 und xxxx02 Konten
kalkulatorisch: xxxx00 und xxxx03 Konten
Thanks very much for any input.

Dear,
If I understood your requirement correctly then you want different ZERO balance clearing GL Account for below type GL Accounts
xxxx00 accounts for all accounting principles
xxxx01 accounts for US GAAP
xxxx02 accounts for IAS
xxxx03 accounts for local GAAP
Please correct me if I am wrong. If correct then you can post accounting entries to different GL Account by using Substitution OBBH. You have to decide the pre-requisite and on the basis of that you can write the substituon.
Hope this helps.

Unable to view entries in FAGLL03 for Zero Balance Clearing Account
Hi experts,
We are facing a unique problem. We are not able to view the line items of the Zero Balance clearing account. The master data of the G/L has been activated for line items but still the display of the items is not happening. I am getting the foll message:
Account 19900000, company code 1100 is clearing account
Message no. MSITEM111
Diagnosis
You have stored account 19900000 in company code 1100 as a clearing account. At the same time, you use line item management with this account.
System Response
Error message issued because line item display cannot read data for an account in a ledger if line items exist partially in the entry view together with clearing items for which there are no line items. In such cases, only the data with line items would be selected.
Procedure
Check the Customizing settings or account control. Change the settings so that only automatic postings without line items can be made to the account, or select a different account as the clearing account.
Regards,
SateeshHi
In splitting case you need not the give the line item display tab for Zero Balance Clearing Account.
Just remove that line item display in FS00 for Zero Balance account. You could be able to see the entries in FAGLL03

Zero Balance clearing account shows balance?
HI All,
My "zero balance clearing account" shows balance and hence my trial balance is not matching.
We have posted some WA(goods receipt) documents from MM side and cancelled those due to wrongly entered of internal order in those documents.And Debit line item is missing in those cancelled documents and hence credit amount is showing in my zero balance account.
How can i get rid of this problem and match my trial balance ?
Regards,
Sumeya OffrinHi Sumiya,
Check the Trial Balance GL Line Item wise through FAGLL03/FBL3N - G/L Account Line Items.
If any correction reverse the Entry do it again.
One more Check the MM Transactions All materials are reversed are not.
Check the Stock Balance in MB5B through GL Wise Stock Account.

Zero Balance Clearing Account for New GL
Hi SAP Gurus,
We have one unique situation for zero balance clearing account for New GL.
We have one global chart of account to which all company codes are assigned. We implemented document splitting with zero balance clearing for 1 splitting characteristics. We defined clearing account for zero balance for the same as well.
We need to post to different account only for one company code for zero balancing while other company codes will be posting to same clearing account. But as per me, we can only define one GL Account per Chart of Account for zero balancing.
Pls. suggest if you have any solution to this situation.
Regards,
ChiragHi,
Do you have a business rationale for this requirement? Apparently you are using the same Chart of Accounts and hence cannot assign a different GL Account.
This account will always have zero balance at GL Account level and will not be relevant to your legal reporting. A better solution would be to use the one account that all company codes can agree upon and use. -
Problem with document splitting and zero balance clearing account
Hi SAP Gurus,
We've already configured the document splitting functionality in our project, however we still encounter some issues with the outcome of posting documents. For some scenarios, the document split functionality seem to work. Below is such example
Scenario # 1
Entry View:
40 Expense (cost ctr 0001)
31 AP
GL view:
40 Expense (cost ctr 0001)
31 AP (cost ctr 0001)
However, whenever 2 GL items are included in the document, the document split functionality acts differently.
Scenario # 2
Entry View:
40 Expense # 1 (cost ctr 0001)
40 Expense #2 (cost ctr 0002)
31 AP
GL view:
40 Expense # 1 (cost ctr 0001)
40 Expense #2 (cost ctr 0002)
31 AP (no cost ctr assignment)
40 Zero Balance Clrg (no cost ctr assignment)
50 Zero Balance Clrg (cost ctr 0001)
40 Zero Balance Clrg (no cost ctr assignment)
50 Zero Balance Clrg (cost ctr 0002)
I was just wondering how come the AP item did not split accordingly to the cost center indicated in the entry view. Can anyone please assist me on this one? Thanks in advance and best regards.Hi Milind,
Thanks for the reply.
I've done the below configuration and assigned cost/profit center update. It now works for profit center split. It still does not split accordingly per cost center though.
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) > Ledgers >Ledger > Assign Scenarios and Customer Fields to Ledgers
In the below configuration, cost center is not an available option. Unlike the profit center which is available here.
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting
The profit center split looks fine now, however the cost center split still is only reflected in the expense items and not on the AP item.
Any ideas on how to actually split the AP line items according to the cost center assignments ?

New-GL-how to assign the zero balance accounts to scenarios
Dear Experts
Please help me how/where to assign the zero balance accounts to scenarios.
Standard functionality supports: Profit Center derication as mentioned below:
Derivation based on master data--If the line item contains a cost object, the profit center in the master data of the cost object is used.
Derivation based on product category
Derivation based on organizational structure
Derivation based on document splitting - For line items in the Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Cash, and Taxes sub-ledgers, a profit center is only derived if you are using profit center segment accounting with clearing or with balancing. For journal entries, document splitting is always performed for the line items in these sub-ledgers after the other line items have been created.we are concerned abt the 1st scenario & 4
Default profit center-FAGL3KEH -If no profit center could be determined based on the product category, organizational structure, or document splitting, the standard profit center we specified when configuring the corresponding ledger is used.
But I am looking for a specific requirement to configure the Zero balance clearing account to the scenarios.
Thanks
RamaThat information will not be any use.
You can carry forward any number of times - the last should be after closing of previous years accounts.
Hope it is clear. -
How to make balance in reconcilation account
Hi gurus
When I am posting JV in FB50 by debiting to depreciation asset retirement account and crediting to asset account which is reconciliation account its giving error as below
Account xxxxx in company code xxxx cannot be directly posted to
Message no F5354
I want to make zero balance on this accounts as asset account is closed in the company code.
Please let me know how can i make them zero
Regards
Sunitha
Edited by: sunitha reddy on Mar 18, 2010 3:26 PMHi,
The error F5354 is not an unknown error:
Please check your account determination in AO90 as this error is a
typical customizing error.
Please be aware, that certain accounts cannot be reconciliation
accounts but are 'normal' GL accounts. That is an important reason why
this error does show.
Since the upgrade, the system checks now some account controls and that
is why you get the error message now (even if it was working before
with the same customizing and even if this account is not directly used
in the current transaction).
You may want to review the FI-AA consistency report re G/L Accounts:
IMG Path:
FI-AA -> Preparing for Production Startup -> Check Consistency
-> Consistency Report: Asset G/L Accounts (tx OAK4 = program RACKONT1),
here you will find the same error messages as in AFAB.
As per note 7595 indicates:
The balance sheet accounts and the accumulated depreciation accounts
must be characterized as reconciliation accounts of account type 'A'.
Down payment account KTANZA must also be a reconciliation account
of account type 'A'. The clearing account for down payments KTANZG
must not be set up as a reconciliation account.
Error message F5345 indicates that's you are using reconciliation
accounts in a depr. area which doesn't post online (T093-BUHBKT > '1')
So, if the accumulated depreciation account is a reconciliation account
it is fine. The problem must be found somewhere else. Maybe the account
is also used for a concept where non-reconciliation accounts are needed
(for example and offsetting account or a clearing account).
Please check table T095 in the account determination for revaluation.
The field KTAUFW is defined like KTANSW with the reconcilation account.
That is correct as they are balance sheet accounts.
But the contra account must not be the same, because when posting
revaluation the system try to post
with posting key 70/75 KTAUFW against 50/40 KTAUFG.
The problem is that reconciliation account can only be posted
with posting key 70 / 75.
So you have to change the contra accounts.

New GL - Doc Splitting - Profit Center not hitting the Zero Balance GL
Dear SAP New GL Gurus,
I am trying to activate the doc splitting where the system uses a GL Account to ensure that Profit Center wise Trial Balances are tallied.
I have done the following configuration till now, and I feel that these steps should ideally split the doc and post the PCA Adjustment Account Entry - I think its the Zero Balance Clearing account that the system should ideally be using.
I am not sure what I am missing here - This is what is done till now:
1. Activated Document Splitting - Used Standard Method 0000000012.
2. Classified GL Accounts for Doc Splitting as per standard SAP categories.
3. Classify Doc Types with assignments of Transaction and Variant. Done as per standard, no changes made.
4. Defined Zero Balance Clearing Account.
5. Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting - Made Profit Center field as Mandatory
6. Define Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling - Left it BLANK as Point No. 5 is done for GL Accounting.
7. Define Post-Capitalization of Cash Discount to Assets - Ignored
8. Edit Constants for Nonassigned Processes - Ignored
Under Real-Time Integration of Controlling with Financial Accounting:
1. Standard variant 0001 used.
2. Assigned 0001 variant on the Co Code.
3. Define Rules for Selecting CO Line Items - Ignored
4. Define Account Determination for Real-Time Integration - Ignored
Accouting Entry posted by me - Both lines are Balance Sheet items:
DR Bank GL Profit Center X
CR Bank GL Profit Center Y
Please help me out here.
I will assign full points.
Many Thanks
BobHi,
Yes. Very much. you need to assign scenarios even if you are using leading ledger.
In any enty there will be minimum two views, Entry view and Ledger View
Ex.
Entry view
Account Amt A/c Assig objects - Profit Center
Customer 400
Sale A/c -400 2000
Gl View
Account Amt A/c Assig objects - Profit Center
Customer Recon A/c 400
Sale A/c -400 2000
If you dont assign Profit center in the scenario to the leading ledger, in gl view you will not be able to see profit center against the sales line item
Assign points if useful

Nature of GL for Zero Balance Document splitting & CO-FI reconciliation
Dear Experts
1. What should be the nature of GL account for Zero Balance Clearing A/c for document splitting? Should it be P&L or B/S?
Should it be on open item managed? I've read note 961937 but it doesnt talk about it.
2. Also what should be the nature of GL required for CO-FI real time integration? P&L or B/S? If its P&L then should cost element be created for it?
Please advice?

KapilHi,
1. Zero Balance Clrng Account: Balance sheet and Open item managed

Using of zero balance a/c ?
Hi all,
i am workig on ECC 6.0.
my question is " why should we usd 'ZERO BALANCE G/L ACCOUNT' in ECC 6.0.
what is the purpus and impartence of that in this version.
ThankuThis is so you can have balancing balance sheets
There will be the occasion where a PC or BA can not be determined straight away.
By posting to the zero balance account it will always mean that if you run a B/S report by PC or BA it will always balance. -

Zero Balancing Account for PCA in ECC6.00
Hi All,
I would like to create the Zero Balancing account in ECC 6.00 as Balance sheet account.
could you please tell me the what are the implications if i create this zero balancing account as balance sheet.
but as per the best practice it should be the P&L without cost element.
regards,
PranavIt should be a balance sheet account, It is kind of like a Intra company clearing account and also a clearing account cannot be a profit and loss account. Any how this account should be zero at company code level.

Zero Balance title accounts appearing on financial reports
Hi All
Is there anyway of not showing a title account with a zero balance when you run a Trial Balance, P&L or a balance sheet.
I know that you can leave the checkbox unticked in the selection criteria, but this only removes the active accounts from the report.
ThanksHi Stuart
A work around is to create a Financial Report Template and set the titles you don't want displayed as "dummy titles". Only problem is when they do have values, the G/L account will display instead of the title. Give it a try and let me know if it helps you.
Kind regards
