Simulation of Accounting Documents

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

There is a complex requirement from my client...

Like in FI .. they want to simulate the billing documents which are passed to accounts. If the billing is passed to correct G/Ls then only they want to do the original postings.The reason is they are having som 500 materials each material is going to different G/l account. this is the 1st time they are doing the billing. In FI simulation is possible. Is there any posibbilities in SD. In the acount assignment key of materila master they have maintained. but they are not sure that they have assigned correct account aasignment group in material master,

Kindly let me know is there any posibility to check the invoice is poasted to correct g/l accounts in simulation mode

Regards

Dear abhinav

I dont think there is a need to check each and every time the G/L Account whenever you generate commercial invoice. May be based on the scenario, you can check the postings like for sample sales, scrap sales, normal sales etc., Once you freeze this, the same postings will happen for rest of the documents also.

Of course, all your FI postings are based on the settings what you maintain in OBYC and VKOA. So you need to check there only with the help of your FI people.

thanks

ya i know each and every time we need not check the poasting. the settings are done correctly. for the 1st time when business is doing billing and they want to check wheter it is going to correct g/l. there are some 500 materials in that 500 materilas must have to go to different g/ls... i had created account key and assigned in vkoa. but user wants to simulate the billing.he wants to check whether the materials are going to crrect g/ls so then only he will post the bill to accounts.

Hi Abhi,

For Invoices please try : VOK1 - transaction.

For Goods isssue please check : OBYC but I suggest you to try : OMWB - in this t-code you will have a simulation a nd when you put a plant, id material and movement you will have a screen with everything what you need.

There is no feature to simulate the accounting document. Even the account determination analysis will not help as it shows only those condition types for which system is not able to find the G/L accounts.

Hi,

Never had to do this, but try the billing simulation in VF04, and when in the actual billing screen select the menu Environment - Acc. Determ. Analysis + your selection.

Let us know
