3. Tasks description

3.1. Responsibilities

Finance Operations is in charge of posting and performing, after Material Ledger has run, the check according to this procedure.


  • Dörte Haye (5642)
  • Uwe Marquardt (4056)
  • Matthias Schimpf (4061)
  • Tanja Huebscher (4060)
  • Juergen Maass (6288)


3.2. I align the stock variation in BS with PL for annual procedure

3.2.1. I ask DMR to open P&L accounts 


The initial objective:


  • To block the 6096900001, this GL/cost element is used for old inventory posting scheme for stock scrapping (post to G30) and manual posting to G30 directly. .


  • To set automatic posting for 6090020102 (not blocked), is to stop Croco FB case and manual posting without cost object. 


  • This is critical especially at the beginning of the SPS & new croco project went live when all users are not familiar with the rule, the posting could cause reconciliation issue that delay closure.


Issue: 

  • When performing the yearly procedure for Germany companies in PF1 system, we found that accounts 6096900001 and 6090020102 are locked for posting on 2018, because of SPS project decision.  


  • In order to be able to post, and to perform the necessary variance of stock in BS and PL, we need alternative accounts aligned with guidelines of SPS. 



Solutions:


Option 1: create 2 new dedicated GL for this German case. 


Please contact Data Management team for the creation of the 2 new GL accounts and only extended into the German companies code.


We propose to create with refer to the  2 old GL 6096900001 and 6090020102, without cost element in controlling and allow manual posting.


After the creation, please assign the GL in the German financial version (e.g. ZDCH) group  = ROHSTOFFE / BESTANDSVERÄNDERUNG for F.01 report.   


For the original 6096900001 Finished goods manufactured-other movement, is in the cost element group XCS-FIPA8.OLD Provision on invent VVG30 (cat01) in order to trigger COPA posting to G30, please do not create the cost element and put the new cost element into the group.

See the first posting done at 2019, the posting without cost object posted to G30 by mistake.

6090020102 do not have a cost element, so the posting will not have cost object and COPA.



Option 2: To unblock the 2 old GL accounts for German companies only 


Data Management team could unblock them only at period 12 every year upon request and close after the year end adjustment, or allow to open for the entire year.


Option 3: Use account 6000100100 instead of 6090020102. 

6000100100 is not blocked and can be posted manually, it is fine to use.


3.2.2. I prepare the posting

Run S_ALR_87012284 for the month closing, using the variant 3S-STOCKS DE .


Update the following fields:

  • Reporting year  =  Year that is being close (N)
  • Comparison Year  =  Previous year (N-1)


Click on execute Button, 


Extract the outcome to Excel as described below:

  • List →  Save/Send →  File…  → Spreadsheet

3.2.3. I post the information

After making the extraction in the previous section, copy and paste the content in sheet  of the file DE - Finished goods inventory changes booking 1.

The amounts to be posted are computed in sheet  In this sheet you should only change the posting date in cell H9. 


Then, the ZZF_POSTING_FILE is ready to be uploaded.

3.2.4. I check if the posting is correct

In order to check if the objective of this procedure was achieved, another extraction of report S_ALR_87012284 must be done following the explanation in section 3.2.1. I prepare the posting.

When the extraction is done, you should copy and paste it in tab .

The differences will be computed in tab  and the status must be “OK”:

3.2.5. Short explanation about what excel file is doing (no action needed)

Total amount in heading BESTANDSVERÄNDERUNG, column “Reporting Period” must be equal to the sum of balances in accounts 2000010000 and 2009000000 in column “Absolute difference”.

Example: 

Balance difference of account 2009000000 = -63.775,25€ (A)

Balance difference of account 2000010000 = 1.055.862,54€ (B)


Total difference of accounts under heading

BESTANDSVERÄNDERUNG = -992.087,29€ (C) 

(A)  + (B) = (C)↔( -63.775,25€) + (1.055.862,54€) = -992.087,29€


If there is a difference, it must be posted in accounts 6096900001 and 6000100100 as reference document nr. 5010015956.
