Automatic Posting accounts not allowed when G/L Account is entered in LIPS

[Former Member]

Dear all,

In order to override the standard G/L account determination when PGI a delivery, we developed a routine to write the G/L account devired by the system and populate LIPS-KONTO with the account we want to post.

This is working perfectly as soon as that G/L account does not have the flag "automatic postings only" is not flagged.

However, is this flag is active, we are not able to PGI.

Do you know if this is the normal SAP behaviour? Any suggestions if we must use that account?

thanks!

Hi

You can make necessary changes in the field 'Automatic Posting' in the respective G/L account. Use Tcode FS00.

Hope this solves your problem.

Thanks,

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for your info.

However, the issue is if our finance department does not want to change this account setup.

I thought that even with an account filled in the LIPS, the system should consider this an automatic posting. Apparently it does not....

thanks!

Hi Fátima

if you want to have automatic posting why don't you do the setting in OBYC, as suggested earlier by one of our memeber, with the accounts you want

Hello,

The situation is the following....

Two items in the sales order with two different item categories and same movement type.

This movement type is customized in OMWN with Account Modifier ZVA that is linked to account A.

In case of the first item category this will be ok.

On the second item category the customer wants to keep the same movement type but post into a different account.

During delivery processing we created in a userexit to override the derived Account Modifier to another one that we need and retrieve that account and populate LIPS-KONTO.

Conclusion:

1) If we use the standard account determination, LIPS-KONTO is not filled in and the system considers an automatic posting.

2) If the LIPS-KONTO is filled in with a GL Account that has the "automatic postings only" set, the system apparently is considering this a manual posting.

My question is: Is this the Standard SAP behaviour?

But tell me whether that account is marked for "automatic posting only".

Then whatever the system is behaving is correct only. As per the material account determination, whatever GLs we manually assign should not be marked for Automatic Postings. If system is determining a Material Account, then it MUST be marked for Automatic Posting only.

Thanks

Hi,

All your Material Account Determination work only if they are ticked with Automatic Posting Only. Whatever the GL you assign in OBYC should be marked for Automatic Postings.

Thanks

Hi Krishna,

Thanks for your info.

However I thought that even entering an account in LIPS, the system was considering it as an automatic posting. The account is marked as "automatic posting only", but if It is entered in the LIPS-KONTO field, the system apparently considers it a manual posting....

thanks, anyhow.
