3.3. I check the absolute difference

Task performed in quarter basis, Timing defined in closure after receiving the last invoicing.

  • Stage 1

    We should check the absolute difference between the value that is accumulated until the month that we are analyzing and the total amount of the stock in beginning of the year (that is the amount in stock in the end of the previous year ) as the example for month 06 2008:


Look for the account  2010010000 Produits finis achetés-val acq MM


The value marked in red should be compared with the following 6* accounts from P&L by doing the sum as demonstrated:

200806

 


+   B: Var en-cours fabric, PF et cdes   71               +1.243.265,18
 

-    609400001 Variation ETC                                  -(-119.227,88)
 

+    2.Variation des stocks                                       +(-2.159.515,82)

+    6310000000 Stocks-réd val                              + 0
_______________________________________________________________ 

        Total Amount                                                   -797.022,76


Now we should compare the  Absolute difference in Stocks  with the  Total Amount :

786.513,39 + (-797.022,76) = - 10.509,37


This means that we have to do a posting to adjust the variation of stocks in 6* accounts according to the total variation in stock accounts (balance sheet).


Before doing this adjustment, check if the last invoicing has run for all the Belgium companies in the quarter and if there are no pending movements with the concerned company.


This check is automatically done in the template file attached.


  • Stage 2

Perform the following operations in posting file attached.


Copy the Excel extraction and paste it in sheet “Report”.

In sheet “Calculations” insert the report date on cell F3 with format DDMMYYYY (the last day of the closed month will be the posting date. Fill in the yellow field with the concerned company code in cell F10.

Save it and upload it through transaction ZZF_POSTING_FILE.


When a company has a balance in accounts 6310000000 and 6311000000, this amount should be accounted as well for the calculation of the adjustment:


Attach the excel file extracted in report S_ALR_87012284 justifying the calculations made to the document posted.


3.4. I perform the ETC check

This check is done for company 0001.

We should check the absolute variation between the value that is accumulated until the month that we are analyzing and the total amount of ETC in the beginning of the year as the example below for month 06 2008.

 


Look for the cell with the account  B. Commandes en cours 37 :

2170000000-Commandes en cours d'exécution

2140000000-Stock ETC

2160000000-Acomptes verses s/achats sur stocks

 


 

The value marked in red should be compared with the following 6* account and 7* account from P&L by doing the sum as demonstrated.


+ 609400001 Variation ETC                             +(-119.227,88)

+ 7446400001 Acomptes sur ventes ETC        + 15.958,17
___________________________________________________________ 

Total Amount                                                    - 103.269,76


Now we should compare the two values of the Absolute Difference and Total Amount

103.269,76+ (-103.269,76) = 0


In this case the check is ok and there is no posting to do.


This check is automatically done in the Link file  attached .


Normally this check should be ok, if not please contact Olivier Gaspar for company 0001.

3.5. I perform the final check

After the posting we should check again as in the previous steps the report S_ALR_87012284 .
 

This check can be done manually as described before or it can be done with the support of the excel file as described in page 7.

In sheet “Calculations” the adjustment posting should be equal to:
