How to use RERAALCN

[Former Member]

Dear all,

Iu2019m trying to use transaction RERAALCN, but when I execute this t-code the system is giving back an error:

-> Contracts without any items relevant for accrual/deferral

How can I display the open items to post the correct accruals?

Thanks in advance,

P.

Hi P.,

please check if the necessary settings for accrual/deferral are made in customizing (RE-FX - Accounting - Accrual/Deferral). Furthermore please check that the relevant flow types have accrual types assigned.

Hope this helps.

Hello Franz,

I think I have all the customizing set up.

I don't know what I have might done wrong.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks.

Hello Penny,

does the contract really have cashflow items that should be accrued?

Please check the cashflow and there the calculation period of the items that should be accrued.

Is the contract activated?

Yes.

I configured the flow types with accrual option [Accrual Type (for Accruals)].

The contracts are active..

BR,

Hi P.,

could you please check the cashflow items in display mode of the contract (and display cashflow).

Please post flow type, calculation from and calculation to of the item that should be accrued.

Is the cashflow item already posted or not?

Furthermore the customizing settings of the flow type for accrual type(acc) and (Def).

Dear Franz,

I've already posted the rents in RERAPP. But I can't get anything for accrual in RERAALCN.

Hi Franz,

RENT 01.04.2011 to 31.12.2011

I want to execute the accrual transaction also in 31.12.2011.

Thanks again,

Penny

Hi Penny,

thank you for the information.

RENT 01.04.2011 to 31.12.2011

If you use accrual date 31.12.2011 accruals are calculated only when periodic posting is not run yet for this period and

parameter 'AccrDep.PrdPstG' in the company-code dependent settings for RE-FX is set.

Did you run an accrual run for 30.06.2011 before?

If the posting run had been executed with posting date within calculation period there might be no need for accruals at all.

Maybe you can test some other constellations to see if accruals are calculated then.

Hi Franz,

Where can I configure the parameter 'AccrDep.PrdPstG'?

I tried to run the accrual in 30.06.2011 and before and after just to check the output. But I always get the same error message (Contracts without any items relevant for accrual/deferral).

Definitely I want to post only in 31.12.2011, but I canu2019t get any result.

I tried different contracts in diverse dates.

Do you have other idea?

Regards,

Penny

[franz_posch]

Hi Penny,

you can find the parameter 'AccrDep.PrdPstG' in customizing of RE-FX:

- Make Basic Settings in Company Code

I checked also your setting:

Posting control:

Every 6 months (summarization not active).

Unfortunately I have to tell you that 6 months is not supported at all.

Only daily, monthly, annually and per period are supported so far.

Please choose one of these values for posting control.

Furthermore I would suggest that you refer to SAP note [829676|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/829676] where common settings for accruals are explained. Please try first with these settings in your test system if you get results to check if accruals work at all. Afterwards you can adapt your settings according to your requirements.

Hope this helps.

Hi Franz,

I've already read this oss note. Actually was the first thing I did.

I tried also to change the frequency, but I still can't get any output...

I don't know what to do anymore..

Hi Penny,

I have also no idea without having the possibility to check the issue directly in your system.

I just can tell you that accruals are working fine in my system.

So if you think that there might be a program error it might be necessary to open a customer message.

I forget to tell you that I don't have the option 'AccrDep.PrdPstG' available in IMG..how can I get?

Hi Penny,

the flag 'AccrDep.PrdPstG' had been introduced with note [1062550|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1062550].

If you do not have this flag yet you are apparently on a low support package. In this case I would generally recommend to implement the most actual support package.
