[Former Member]

Hi

we are in ECC6.0 with EHP4.

we are receiving single cheque from customer agaisnt multiple invoice. these multiple invoice belong to multiple profit centre. some time customer pay additional amount agaisnt future shipment which we treat as payment on account. folloiwng is the example:-

invoice no amount profit centre

100 5000 PC100

200 7000 PC200

300 3000 PC300

total amount due is 15000.00. But customer paid 20000.00 which include on account payment of 5000.00. now while recording this transaction through F-28, system picking profit centre from invoice document but unable to pick profit centre for on account payment. due to this, unable to post the document.

error remain same even we are giving profit center on initial screen on F-28.

in customization, we have done necessary settings and "Inherit" option selected in document splitting.

any idea how to resolve above error. please revert

Hi DD,

As per Document Splitting, the Bank Account will get split as per the Invoice Profit Centers.

And in your case, if you do not enter any profit center for on Account Payment, then system does not get any Profit center. So you have the following option:-

Option 1.

Enter a default profit Centre in FAGL3KEH against the Advance to Customers GL. It can be either the Corporate PC or the Common PC as you would not know against which purchases the advance amount would be utilized.

Option 2.

While making entry in F-28, when you make posting for on Account Payment in the name of the customer, make a Special GL entry in A, and then you would be able to enter PC at the line item level. For this in FBKP, for Special GL A, category should be Advance.

You also wrote that you are entering PC on the first screen in F-28, please note that by doing that you are restricting Splitting, as PC on the first screen is for bank Account and you do not want to enter PC for the Bank Account.

Hope it clarifies.. Do get back if still you have issues..

Hi

thanks for detail explanation.

I fully agree with your explanation. but if you look from business prospective, this is very common situation when we get excess payment. unfortunatly SAP is not able to handle it.

the excess payment is not advnace for me hence can not transfer to special GL. it is just on account payment. hence opention no 1 can not use.

in my openion, either on account payment should splitt according to bank account.......not quite sure.

if option is there, only option available is post to spl gl. will update to foram once finilized solution.

in the mean time, it will be highly appriciated if foram member can shere there experience on this issue.

Hi DD,

Another option is that you can split the Payment in two:-

1. Match the Invoices and post in bank the exact amount as per the Invoices and the bank line item will get split as per Invoices.

2. Secondly, for the balance amount post one more entry:- Bank A/C... Dr. to Customer Account. here you can enter the PC in the Bank Line item.

Hi

great...... i have similer thought on this issue. But still want to drive profit centre automatically.

still i have not finilized the solution as number of profit centre is very high in our system and if we give freedom to user to choose profit centre then it will be big issue in term of profit centre reporting.

if anybody has different thought on the issue, please revert.

Regards
