MIRO and alternative reconciliation accounts?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

The situation is following. Purchase order is made and when in MIRO we are processing this PO into a subsequent credit then it is not possible to change an reconciliation account for that vendor even if I did set it up in SPRO as an alternative rec. acc. and have set it to be ready for posting.

One solution would be to define a different doc. type and then do a substitution (I guess) but I wonder why this doesn't work the same way as posting a vendor invoice from FI?!

Thanks

Alternative reconciliation accounts can only be used with Spl. GL Indicators. When you are using MIRO, irrespective of whether you select invoice or credit memo, its going to be posted as a normal vendor posting and not as a Spl. GL Indicator.

Assign points if found useful.

Hi Madhav,

are you shure it is like that? I know that if I want to make a posting to a vendor alternative rec. acc. for example I don't need a special G/L transaction, I just change the account by myself in the document header.

In MIRO, you will be able to change the vendor account but not the reconciliation account itself. The reconciliation account field will be greyed out, unless you made it as optional. This may cause issues, as the user can go in and change the account and your subledger will not tie back to your ledger.

One of the other alternative solution, may not be a preferred solution, is that when you are doing subsequent credits, you choose a different vendor (assigned to the other GL Account that you want to post to) and then post the MIRO transaction.

Thanks,
