FBS1 Post Accrual Document

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

When we post accrual entries through FBS1, we have one field called the Reversal Date. When we again post the reversal using F.81 we again have the Reverse posting date field.

Then what is the significance of the Reversal date in FBS1.

Thanks,

Srikanth.

Hi,

In FBS1 the date is for when the reversal is to be posted.

In F.81 it is a selection parameter for selecting documents according to what was entered in FBS1

Kind regards

Reversing Accrual Runs Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You can reverse an accrual run that has already been carried out. However, you can only reverse accrual runs in their entirety. You cannot reverse individual postings.

Normally, you do not have to reverse an accrual run, as accruals are recalculated during the next accrual run. The system always posts the difference to values previously posted.

In some cases, however, you may need to reverse a complete accrual run. For example, you may have carried out an accrual run with the wrong key date.

Features

You carry out the reversal in Financial Accounting using an inverse posting. This means that the account determination and determination of account assignments is carried out again for the reversal key date. This is done on the basis of the Customizing settings valid at that point in time.

Caution

This means that unexpected results can arise if you have changed the Customizing settings between the accrual run and the reversal, or if you have changed the basic data for the accrual objects during this period.

Activities

If you want to reverse an accrual run, from the Manual Accruals menu choose Corrections ® Reversal of Periodic Accrual Runs.

Enter the parameters to choose the accrual run that you want to reverse. Choose Execute.

Periodic Accrual Runs Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You carry out periodic accrual postings in an accrual run. This posts the accruals calculated for a specific key date and creates the corresponding document.

Caution

You always have to start the accrual run manually for a specific key date.

During an accrual run, the system performs the following steps:

· It creates Accrual Engine documents

· It transfers these Accrual Engine documents to Accounting

· This leads to follow-up documents being created in Accounting

Prerequisites

You can influence how the Accrual Engine document is transferred to Accounting in a number of different ways.

· Before the documents are transferred to Accounting, a temporary two-line Accounting document is created from the Accrual Engine document. You can summarize several of these two-line Accounting documents prior to transferring them. The summarization setting is in Customizing for Manual Accruals, under Accrual Posting ® Posting Control.

· You can change the Accounting document before or after summarization or add further document lines. Two Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) are provided for this purpose. The settings are in Customizing for Manual Accruals, under Accrual Posting ® Document Change Using BAdI.

Features

You can use the following functions to perform periodic accrual runs:

· Carry Out Accrual Run

You can start an accrual run. When you do this, the Accrual Engine documents are automatically transferred to Accounting.

· Reverse Accrual Run

You can reverse a completed accrual run together with its postings. However, you can only reverse accrual runs in their entirety.

· Transfer Accrual Engine Documents Manually

If the transfer of Accrual Engine documents to Accounting terminates because of errors, you can transfer the documents to Accounting manually.
