OV87

Dear All,

Please advice who does the account determination portion for AR -Payment cards configuration - > OV87?

The sales order is not considered to be  credit card sale order and its just a standard sales.

Only during the AR process, the credit card details are entered for AR clearing and the below error occurs that routes to OV87.

The problem is there is no config maintained for the corresponding company code and customer currency, where in they both are different.

Who owns this config if it lies within SD scope or FI ?

Thanks!

Ram

Ramesh,

From my understanding, the SD consultant is the owner (person responsible) for Account Determination.

As the SD consultant shall set up (configure) the Account determination condition technique, after getting the requirements from the business (in what case, what G/L account should be hit).

This activity would require team up with the FI consultant.

His role would be to create and communicate the list of G/L accounts.

Entry shall be done in VKOA or OV87 by the SD consultant.

Thereafter testing (with creating of billing documents) has to be done and certified by both SD consultant and FI consultant.

I will not completely agree with you here. The flow of the accounts and its confirmation has to be certified by the AR users. We, being consultants, will play a role till integration testing. At the end based on UAT confirmation we will move the config/changes to PROD.

Sai,

Thank you for your post!

We do not disagree, it is just that you are talking about "the next steps" w.r.t. the criteria for moving the changes / settings to PRD system.

Not only for this issue, but for every change / configuration, before moving it to PRD, UAT (user acceptance testing) and user certification is mandatory.

Since SAP have provided the said configuration under SD in IMG path, I would say that it comes under SD.  Moreover, I always say that dont see who have to do (FI or MM or SD) ultimately, it is the responsibility of the whole team to see that client's requirements are addressed.

Hi Lakshmipathi,

Thanks for the answer and i would proceed with the change.

I fully agree with your comments to fulfill clients requirement and not to be seen functional specific.

The problem is when it comes to support perspective, its not the whole team sits under one roof to discuss the topic right away. Each functional group are located at different geographical location at times and its becoming practically difficult and hence the problem. I haven't dealt with OV87 before and was reluctant before i drive to a conclusion that it lies on  SD scope.

Thanks Again!

Naren - This is regarding OV87 and not VKOA.  I believe you've misread it.

Hi Ramesh,

Its always good to have couple of meetings and discussions with all the team members when it comes to integration scenarios. In our current project also, we are spread across various locations, yes, at times its practically difficult to connect all the members. But, we can't help it. So, ensure that all are agreed and in same page before doing any such changes in the system. Needless to say, business runs on SAP

Thank you Sai..well said.. simple opinion of mine on this... what you ve stated really helps and I agree fully while handling implementation projects.Where as when it comes to support, when an issue arise, we identify the root cause and see to which functional area it belongs. If its not within our scope, we simply reassign to appropriate group and our task ends there. So its an issue based case and there is no time for calling up for several meetings and holding up the issue until we meet.Ideally identifying the right area is key here.

This is kind of a grey area i believe on to see who deals with, since this portion (OV87) account determination is during the AR settlement that too over credit cards and hence i wasn't very sure.

Based on every one's inputs and help, i am into the conclusion that it is under SD Scope.

Thanks for all of your inputs and feedback.

Best Regards,

Ram

Dear,

Who owns this config if it lies within SD scope or FI ?

This Process is Integration Part b/w SD and FI .Actually,SD guy and FI guy needs to be sit to complete VKOA Settings .

Please consult your FI guy and complete VKOA settings then you will not get this Problem .
