Manual accrual for supplier costs

[EtienneJacquet]

Hello,

For the management of accrual on supplier side, we are following the best practice J58 and posting the accrual through "Post General Journal Entries".

However, with this approach, it is not possible to analyze the cost accounts and balance sheet accrual account by vendor and ensure all accrual are posted correctly for all supplier.

This question is related to manual accrual (as automatic accrual based on good receipt are ok).

How can we manage manual accrual for supplier cost, with the information of the supplier?

Kind regards,

Etienne

Hi Etienne,

thank you for your question.

Please check the App "Journal Entry Analyzer". Hitting on the "Filters" button, you can select "Entry Journal Type" and "Supplier". After saving, search for the Entry Type "AD" (Accruals/ Deferrals) and your supplier. The result will be an overview about all the accruals and deferrals for your chosen supplier.

Hope this answers your question.

Kind regards

Dennis

Hi Etienne,

There is a scope item for Purchase Order Accruals , https://rapid.sap.com/bp/#/browse/scopeitems/2VB.

You might want to have a look at it.

Hi Etienne,

One idea is maybe populating the journal entry item text field with the supplier information while posting the journal. This way you can track and filter by this value you GL account balances.

Hi,

We can indeed populate an additional field wih the supplier information however, this is not homogeneous process.

For example:

- regular good receipt are booking supplier cost accrual, with the supplier informaiton

- Manual accruals will have supplier code in an extra field

Then there will be no possibility to have a consolidated report with all supplier cost. we might be able to create specific report but in a free field there can be mistakes in the supplier information. Therefore, the information won't be reliable.

Is there any S/4HANA Cloud recommandation for booking supplier cost accruals?

Kind regards,

Etienne
