5. Define Fiscal Year Variant

Definition: Fiscal year nothing but financial year. Every company has to maintain financial year as per their country legal requirement. Fiscal year consists of 12 normal months and 4 special periods. Special periods will be useful for adjustment of accounts after closing financial year. System can understand calendar year (January to December). System can not understand other than calendar year (April to March, July to June and October to September). We need to explain to the system

For Ex: 2011 2012 (April to March)

In 2011, 9 months (April to December) will come and in 2012, 3 months (January to March) will come

If you convert 3 months of 2012 to 2011, we can say financial year 2011. We put against each month of 2012 (-1)

Otherwise

If you convert 9 months of 2011 to 2012, we can say financial year 2012. We put against each month of 2011 (+1)

This concept is called Year Shift

If you do business less than one year, we can say shortened financial year. Life time of the company it will come once (In establishing year)

Parking DocumentsDefinition: You can use document parking to enter and store (park) incomplete documents in the SAP System without carrying out extensive entry checks.

Parked documents can be completed, checked, and then posted at a later date - if necessary by a different accounting clerk.

When documents are parked, data (for example, transaction figures) is not updated.

Data from parked documents can however be used for evaluations by the system. For example, amounts from parked invoices can be used for the advance return for tax on sales and purchases. Using payment requests, parked invoices can be paid punctually and without loss of discount.

Reversal of DocumentsDefinition: If you have entered an incorrect document, you can reverse it, thereby also clearing the open items.

A document can only be reversed if:

It contains no cleared items

It contains only customer, vendor, and G/L account items

It was posted with Financial Accounting

All entered values (such as business area, cost center, and tax code) are still valid

Note: Once we post documents in SAP, we cant edit amounts. Reverse the document and post correct document. We have to know wrongly posted document number, and then only we can reverse the document1. Define Reasons for Reversal

NameWrongly posted document

Select Neg.posting

Save (Ctrl+S) and enter

Note:

Negative posting: Indicator that "Negative postings" are to be generated for a reversal with the specified reversal reason. Negative postings reduce the transaction figures again. Negative postings must also be allowed for the company code of the document to be reversed. If a company code does not generally use any negative postings, the indicator set here is ignored.

Alternative posting date: Indicator as to whether you are allowed to specify an alternative posting date for the relevant reversal reason. When you use the reversal reason, the system checks that reversal is not carried out using an alternative posting date and therefore possibly in a later posting period or in a later fiscal year. If you want to use negative postings during reversal but only if the reversal is posted in the same period, you can define two reversal reasons:1st reason: No alternative date allowed, generate negative posting2nd reason: Alternative date allowed, do not generate negative posting

Accounts payables

Accounts payable module streamlines Procure To Pay (P2P) process while providing financial control and information. It supports booking of invoices, matching invoices against purchase orders and approval of invoices. It facilitates recording of debit/credit memos as well as payments. It helps monitor supplier invoices and creates supplier balance overviews.

This component will deal with vendors, Terms and conditions, Invoices, outgoing payments, Advance to vendors, Etc. Vendors are subsidiary ledgers. AP component integrates with General ledger component.

Purpose of Accounts Payables:The Accounts payable application component records and administers accounting data for all vendors. It is also an integral part of the purchasing system. Deliveries and invoices are managed according to vendors. The system automatically makes postings in response to the operative transactions.

Features of Accounts Payables: Payables are paid with the automatic and manual payment program Postings made in accounts payables are simultaneously recorded in the general ledger where different G/L Accounts are updated based on the transaction involved. Ex: Payables and advances to vendors Balance confirmations, account statements, and other forms of reports to suit your requirement in business correspondence with vendorsBusiness Process:

1. Vendor invoice verification

Vendor invoices will be processed based on the invoices received from the vendors. In invoice verification, vendor invoices are compared with the purchase order and the goods receipt and are checked for the price and quantity

When an invoice is entered with reference to a purchase order, the system suggests data from the purchase order and the goods receipts for the purchase order. Ex: Vendor, Material, Quantity still to be invoiced, Terms of payment and so on

The posting of the invoice completes the invoice verification process. The system updates the purchase order history and financial accounting initiates payment for the open invoice items. Invoice verification creates a link between materials management and accounting document

2. Vendor Down Payments (Advance to vendors)

Advance payments will be made according to the terms of payments with the vendor. The advance payments made to the vendor will be tracked as distinct from the normal payments made to the vendor. The posting for down payments will be carried out to a G/L account other than the standard general ledger account for the vendor called as Special G/L Account

3. Clearing of vendor invoice and advance

The concept of authorizing the document entry can be achieved by the standard SAP functionality creating and authorizing the payment request. Payment request will be created by one person and authorized by another person to keep the control.

4. Vendor payments

By using the SAP standard functionality all the cheque payments can be managed. The typical procedure under SAP with respect to cheque will be,

Defining Cheque lots for each and every house bank

Entering vendor invoice

Entering the vendor payment by clearing the open item created by invoice

Attach cheque to the payment document number generated

Check the cheque register to see the cheque updating

Vendor payments can be manual or automatic. The general aspects related to vendor payment are,

Terms of payment

Method/Mode of payment

Manual payment

Automatic payment

Method/Mode of payment:The payment methods used in SAP system are as follows,

C= Cheque

E= ECS (Electronic Clearing System)

T= Bank Transfer

A= Cash

D= Demand Draft/Pay Order (needs to be created in SAP system)

Manual Payments:

Manual payments are those payments, where the user selects vendor and invoices to be paid. This selection can be used for cheque printing or other methods of payment (like instruction to bank). Usually this procedure is preferred where the numbers of selection/payments are less

Automatic Payments:

Automatic payments are configured to make vendor payments based on terms of payments. The due date wise/vendor invoice wise payment proposal will be generated and this proposal can be edited to make the selective payments.

After the payment list has been finalized, the payment run will be executed and accounting entry will be posted automatically. Payment advice and cheque will be printed through system

1. Define Account Groups

Definition: Account group means list of vendors will be segregated into different account groups. For ex: Domestic vendors and foreign vendors or South vendors, North Vendors, East Vendors and West vendors etc. It controls fields in master record and number range intervals.

Save and enter

Note: Data in vendor master record controls how transaction data is posted and processed for a vendor. The vendor master record also contains all the data you require to do business with your vendors. Vendor Master Record will be segregated into three segments

a. General data

b. Company code data

c. Purchasing data

a. General data

This is data that applies to every company code and every purchasing organization in your company. The general area includes, for example, the vendors name, address, language, and telephone number.

b. Company code data

This is data that is specific to an individual company code. Company code data includes, for example, the reconciliation account number and payment terms.

c. Purchasing organization data

This is data relevant to the purchasing organization of your company. For example, requests for quotations, purchase orders, and invoice verifications are stored in this section. You need the Materials Management (MM) application component in order to enter this data and print purchase orders.

2. Create Number Ranges for Vendor Accounts

Definition: For every vendor we need to allocate one unique number. These number ranges are assigned account group. Vendor number ranges are client level. For ex: Client 800

4. Define Tolerances (Vendors)

In this step, you specify the tolerances for vendors. These tolerances are used for dealing with differences in payment and residual items which can occur during payment settlement. Specify the tolerances under one or more tolerance groups. Allocate a tolerance group to each vendor via the master record. For each tolerance group, specify the following:

Tolerances up to which differences in payment are posted automatically to expense or revenue accounts when clearing open items

The handling of the terms of payment for residual items, if they are to be posted during clearing

Note: Grace Days due date, Number of days by which the payment deadlines may be exceeded when manual payments are made. In the payment entry facilities, the grace days are added to the payment deadlines.This means that the system will accept cash discount deductions and net payments even after the original deadline. If the days in arrears are displayed during open item processing, the system reduces them by the number of grace days.

Cash Discount Terms Displayed, during payment settlement, the items are displayed with the cash discount terms specified here.

Arrears Base Date, from arrears base date system will calculate terms of payments.

Permitted payment difference for automatic write-off (function code AD), Payment differences to our advantage are permitted up to the amount specified here. The local currency is INR. In the field Revenue you have entered 30 INR and in the field Percent, 1. For incoming payments of up to 3000 INR, you accept an overpayment up to a maximum of 1 percent. This means that depending on the amount of the incoming payment, amounts from 0 to a maximum of 30 INR are tolerated. For incoming payments over 3000 INR, you accept an overpayment up to a maximum of 30 INR.

Residual Items, residual means remaining amount (Payment difference). System will create new line item for remaining amount and clear entire invoicea. Payment term from invoice, Indicator that the terms of payment are to be transferred from the original item for residual items. In this case, the amount qualifying for cash discount is set in such a way that the relationship between the amount qualifying for cash discount and the line item amount of the original item is also given in the residual item.b. Fixed payment term, terms of payment key which is to be transferred to the line item when posting residual items. You only need to specify terms of payment key here if the terms are not to be transferred from the original document5. Maintain Number ranges 19, 15, 17 for KR, KZ, KA document types respectively (KR: Vendor Invoice, KZ: Vendor payment, KA: Vendor Document)

Note:

Recon. Account for acct type: An entry in this field characterizes the G/L account as a reconciliation account. The reconciliation account ensures the integration of a sub ledger account into the general ledger.

Ex: G/L account 190100 is defined as a reconciliation account. In the vendor account 4711, the G/L account 190100 is determined as a reconciliation account. In this way, all postings to vendor account 4711 are also posted automatically to the G/L account 190100. The G/L account itself is not designed for direct posting. In this way, reconciliation between sub ledger and general ledger is always guaranteed.

7. Create Vendor Master RecordDefinition: Business transactions are posted to accounts and managed using those accounts. You must create a master record for each account that you require. The master record controls how business transactions are recorded and processed by the system Specifications you make in master records are used:

As default values when you post items to the account. For example, the terms of payment you specify in the master record are defaulted for document entry.

For processing business transactions. For instance, bank details and the payment methods (check or bank transfer, for example) are required for automatic payments.

For working with master records. You can prevent certain users from accessing an account by setting up authorization groups.
