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.
Thanks

Hi 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

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,
Chirag

Hi,
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.

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.

Sateesh

Hi
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 Offrin

Hi 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 - 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.
Pius

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.

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 ?

Report Painter - Period Zero Balance Sheet Account

Dear SAP Experts,
I'm trying to create a balance sheet using report painter and understand from the forum users that we have to use Period "Zero" to run the report.
However, the report that I generated from SAP shows the yearly movements not the accumulated balance.
I'm not sure what possibly went wrong and would appreciate if anyone could please advise on how should I troubleshoot / fix it?
Many thanks.

User names for non-existing guest accounts appearing in WCS reports

Hi All,
I currently have a client where we have deployed a guest network using webauth and the lobby ambassador account to provision guest users under WCS 5.2.
When running client detail reports there are a number of odd behaviours that i don't understand.
First and most importantly the username section of the report is populated with usernames that have never been provisioned and do not currently exist.
I made a guess and thought maybe it was recording usernames of people who had attempted to log in via webauth using their normal user accounts as the recorded names were in this format but this did not generate an entry in the report.
The second issue was that a lot of users had pulled down a few MB (8.5 was the highest at that point) of data while not authenticated. The standard webauth page is used with some minor changes and this is tiny so i can't account for where this data is coming from unless they are pulling down that page repeatedly.
I am hoping someone will have experienced these 2 situations and can assist.
Thanks
Ben

The username section can get populated from the users that do exist on the controller.
The second issue doesnt make much sense, you may want to open a TAC SR to investigate this further

Financial Template Reports (Balance Sheet) - Auto appearance of running profit figure

Dear Experts,
I am working on SAP 9 Business One.
I have prepared a Customized Balance Sheet through the Financial Report Templates for presentation purposes. But when I run the balance sheet using the Financial Template Report, the balance sheet doesn't match.
I have found out the reason i.e. The running profit figure doesn't appear automatically.
Someone please guide me on how to bring the profit figure automatically in the Balance Sheet, prepared through the Financial Report Templates, without running a period end closing as it shows in the balance sheet run with the 'Chart of Accounts'.
Regards,
Dharmik Kara

hi Prasadbabu,
Try it out this way. Create a new line called "Total Sales" below export sales and local sales and Subtotal" check it. In case, you cannot see the active accounts defined for export sales and local sales, then create dummy titles as parent levels and create the "Total Sales" at the same level as the export sales and local sales. In the subtotal formula, you can select the two sales accounts. After the total sales sub-total, you can go ahead with the other sales accounts.

It is not possible in default Balance Sheet PLD of the Financial Reports.

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
Rama

That 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.

Financial Report Template

Hi Experts,
I need to develop a report template for Financial Reports, I need to sort my accounts in a different way other than using the Chart of Accounts Template,I already tried creating a new template but I had some hick-ups, can any one please point me to any documentation/guide for developing report templates.
Waiting to Hear from You.
Kind Regards
Edited by: Chike Nwogu on Dec 2, 2008 1:04 PM

Hi
To compile financial reports, the system needs a template that specifies the structure of the report. You must define these financial report templates in advance.
For some countries SAP Business One delivers templates that you can use to create your own financial report templates. An alternative is to copy the structure of your chart of accounts and then make any necessary changes to it. You can use the financial report templates to compile balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and trial balance reports (totals and balances of G/L accounts and business partner accounts).
Balance Sheet u2013 The system proposes the accounts in the Assets group as assets (active) accounts; the system proposes the accounts in the Liabilities group and the Capital and Reserves group as liability (passive) accounts. You can change these proposals on the highest levels of your financial report template. The system automatically displays the profit or loss for the period (Profit Period).
Profit and Loss Statement u2013 The system proposes the accounts in all the other groups (Turnover, Cost of Sales, Operating Costs, Non-Operating Income and Expenditure, Taxation and Extraordinary Items) and offers the calculation of subtotals.
Trial Balance u2013 The financial report template can contain the accounts from all groups. It displays the totals of all groups but does not offer any subtotal calculation.
You can create comparison reports that compare the figures from a specific company or fiscal year with those of a different company or fiscal year.
Choose Financials  Financial Reports  Financial and then Balance Sheet or Trial Balance or Profit and Loss Statement to generate these financial reports.
Choose Financials  Financial Report Templates to define and maintain financial report templates.
Editing a financial report template is similar, but not identical to, editing a chart of accounts.
Every financial report template has exactly five levels.
Levels one to four consist of only titles.
The G/L accounts are all located on the fifth level.
If you want the totals of the G/L accounts to be displayed on a higher level, you can make the higher titles invisible by selecting the Dummy Title indicator.
You can hide G/L accounts if you donu2019t want them to be displayed.
In a financial report template for balance sheets, you can let the system automatically transfer accounts to the other side of the balance sheet in case the account balance is negative. To do this, select the Transfer Accounts with Negative Sign indicator and specify the place where the transferred account should be.
In a financial report template for profit and loss statements, the system can insert a subtotal on every level:
Level 1 (level of account groups): Select Automatic Summary to let the system use predefined formulas for the gross profit, operating profit, profit after financing expenses, and profit period.
All levels: You can define your own formulas. Select Totals Formula and choose Formula to enter a formula based on the titles of the same level as the subtotal.

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
Bob

Hi,
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
