SAP B1 Multi branch (administrator at level items)

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are using the Multi branches (SAP B1 8.82 PL6) was registered in all 16 customer branches.
Was registered an item "light," we need this item has your account set-level accounting item and not of deposit (which is the way that SAP does) to be using the Multi Branch. The option "manage inventory deposit" is required for some items but you must be able to have them administrator-level items.


This possibibilidade to register some items in the accounts at the item level is required, otherwise we will have to register the 17 deposits (matrix + branches).

Can we implement multi branch  feature in india also.

why it is only given for brazil.

[former_member312729]

Yes many company has multiple branch and  we use SAP B-one, where this multi branch option is not available for India, then whats the use of segmentation chart of account for India localization and which is not effective than for standard report of PLA and Balance Sheet.

Hi Rafael,

Your question is not clear. I am afraid it may be by a translation tool that could not reflect your actual question. If I guessed correctly, you are asking that Item can be managed in company level or not.

How many B1 databases do you have for all those branches?

Thanks,

Hi Gordon,

I believe that this feature "Multi branches" is specific to the location of Brazil, but ask for help if someone knows how to resolve this standoff.

Need to manage some items on the register at the item level, as the screen attached, but when I try to save the modified SAP accuses an error, that due to the parameterization Multi branches, you can not change the administration of the items "level of deposit "for" item level ".

The need for this administration to level item is that we can inform accounts accounting for some specific items, otherwise we will have to be repeated many items for each deposit, registered for each branch.

We have only one database, because the functionality Multi branches allows the registration of branches within the database already created (see file attached branches)

They will be 16 branches

I hope you can understand me.

Thank you for your attention.

Is your database new or is this item so that no transaction posted yet?

[Former Member]

The database is new and the item is being registered, without estimate of use, because we are in the process of implementing SAP.

Hi Rafael,

You may check the solution part of this sap note below:

1691012  - BR - Change Item Settings for Multi-Branch Companies

Version   2   Validity: 06.06.2012 - active Language   English

Content:      Summary    |    Header Data    |    References    |    Validity 

Symptom

You have created a new company in SAP Business One 8.82 patch level (PL) 04 and enabled the multi-branch feature.

As a prerequisite for multiple branches,  you have chosen to manage inventory by warehouse and set G/L accounts by warehouse at the company level. However, some items have inconsistent settings. As a result, you cannot upgrade your company to SAP Business One 8.82 PL05 or higher until you change the relevant item settings.

For more information about multiple branches, see SAP Note 1648713.

 

Solution

If you plan to upgrade from 8.82 PL04 to 8.82 PL05 or higher, and you have enabled the multi-branch feature, you must first configure the following settings on the Inventory Data tab in the Item Master Data window of each item:

• From the Set G/L Accounts By dropdown list, select Warehouse.
• Select the Manage Inventory by Warehouse checkbox.

In order to get the list of all affected Items please run following script:

select OADM.MltpBrnchs, OITM.ByWh, OITM.GLMethod, OITM.ItemCode
from OITM, OADM
where (OITM.ByWh != 'Y' or OITM.GLMethod != 'W') and OADM.MltpBrnchs = 'Y'

In the following situations, when you enable the multi-branch feature, the application reminds you that all items must first be updated as described above:

• You have upgraded from 8.82 PL04 to 8.82 PL05 or higher, with the multi-branch feature not enabled.

• You have upgraded from 8.82 PL03 or lower to 8.82 PL05 or higher.

• You have created a new company in 8.82 PL05 or higher.

Note that, as of SAP Business One 8.82 PL05, the item settings described above cannot be changed after the multi-branch feature is enabled.

based on the solution, you can know how to solve the problem.

You can also download the document How to work with multiple branches from this link:

https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap/bc/bsp/sno/ui/attachment.htm?iv_key=002007204500000378152011&iv_vers...

you can also find the other important guide to use the Multiple Brances feature:

The guide describes the following:

• Initializing the multi-branch feature
• Defining branches
• Assigning various data to different branches
• Creating documents for different branches

With multiple branches, we strongly recommend that you make payments by means of bank transfer, credit card, or cash. You cannot manage bills of exchange or deposit checks after you create payments by means of bill of exchange or check.

Note:
As of SAP Business One 8.82 patch level 07, you can use all payment means, including bills of exchange and checks. For more information, see SAP Note 1720473.

To specify account determination for a particular branch, proceed as follows:

1. In the Warehouses - Setup window in Administration -> Setup -> Inventory -> Warehouses, assign warehouses to the branch.
2. In the Account Details window in Financials -> Chart of Accounts -> Account Details pushbutton, assign G/L accounts to the branch. Create appropriate G/L accounts first, if needed.
3. In the Warehouses - Setup window, assign the G/L accounts of step 2 to the warehouses of step 1.

To budget at the branch level, we recommend that you use segmentation accounts and assign each G/L account to a branch.

Note that you can perform the following tasks only at the company level, but not for individual branches:

• Setting opening balances for G/L accounts, business partners, and inventory
• Executing period-end closing
• Performing inventory revaluation
• Performing bank statement processing and external reconciliation
• Managing price lists, period and volume discounts, and special prices

Hi Jimmy,

I thank the solution, but the problem we are experiencing is different.

We are working in PL6, registering items from this PL6. The situation is that we need to change the way some items are administered.

Items water and electricity were registered before activating the option "Multi Branch." As the parameterization requires the administration for "deposits", I need these items "water and light" are given (recorded) at the item level.

This change does not allow SAP quwe is made and that is our difficulty.

Jimmy,

You mean if using SAP, PL4 and set the desired items to management the item level, when you upgrade version (6 or 7), I choose not to upgrade certain items (water and light) to control the level of warehouse and have these items registered once within SAP and the account book that I want (item level)?
