Different G/L for subcontracting charges

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are having a requirement, we want different G/L (FRL) for subcontracting charges for one material code one valuation class. How can we achieve this. In nut shell, we want to tell system about subcontracting charges G/L at the time of subcontracting PO.

Please suggest how to achieve this.

Hi Rajeev,

FRL transaction key is for sub contracting charges.. If you want to trigger diff Sub cont charges GL for diff material codes.. you can do so by assigning diff GL to diff Valuation class,if you are in position to assign diff Valuation class to those material codes for which you want a different GL trigger.

Secondly, if along with Material code it is something else that determines the trigger of GL then you have to go for FI substitution using Exit RGGBS000.

Do clarify what is your requirement clearly, in order to be specific in answering.. if this does not answer your question.

Hi Rajeev,

One more point I would like to add..

The GL assignment should be kept as simple as possible and only to cater to Legal requirements and for management reporting requirement to the extent that it is not feasible by reporting.

So, first ask the question whether it is really required to assign a diff GL for sub contracting charges for few material codes.. if the same info can be achieved by way of reporting then this should be avoided.

Please check in BSEG table, if you get the material code updated against the Sub contracting charges GL, if yes, then you can write a query/ABAP program to retrieve info that is needed.

Hope this helps..

Hi Rajeev

We had this requirement, and we addressed it the way Kavita has explained above

Best option - Separate Val class, if possible

Else - Substitution

Hi Rajiv,

You do OBYC settings with respect to Valuation class. Go to OBYC settings > Double click on FRL external activity > Click on rules > Select Valuation group and valuation area > Come back and save. Do the account determination based on valuation group and valuation area.

Hi Rajeev,

Valuation class already marked ,you may maintain GL accounts with respect to Valuation class. I wrongly mentioned as valuation group > It is valuation modifier
