Line item wise account determination

Hi,

Suppose i have an invoice of Rs 1000 amount where 2 line items exist(1st line item value 600 & 2nd line item amount is 400) .In this case when release it for accounts the accounting entry is:--

Customer a/c debit 1000

To Revenue account 600

To Revenue account 400

But we want it should goes like this

Customer a/c 600

To Revenue a/c 600

Customer A/C 400

To Revenue a/c 400

Means customer account should be debited as many time as many line items are there with respect to line items amount.

Please suggest.

Regards,

Satya

Hi Satya,

The standard accounting for an SD billing document has only one customer line and that is fine!

Customer a/c debit 1000 => There can be only one

To Revenue account 600

To Revenue account 400

Just to check if your requirement can be done:

SAP provides a customer exit to change the customer line ACCIT.

EXIT_SAPLV60B_002: You can use this exit to change the customer line in the accounting document. This exit is processed once the ACCIT structure is filled in with data from document header VBRK.

This exit is used to modify the customer line, not to generate other ones, so it will not solve your problem.

My recommendation: Instead of doing anything that might break SAP standard functionality, please check the requirement as IMHO it does not make sense.

If you really want several customer lines, then generate several SD invoices, each one with it's own customer line as the first FI document item.

Define an invoice split routine and ... problem solved.

Best of all: Do nothing as standard functionality is correct for 99,99 % of customers!

Hope it helps,

Hi,

Thanks alot for your valuable information.

I am in a service industry project where revenue is rocognised in two ways one is std revenue recognition and other is service based revenue recognition.

For std revenue recognition where revenue is recognised alongwith invoice,i'll apply the invoice spilt but what do i do with service based revenue recognition (Tcode VF44).

At present accounting enteries goes like this:-

Revenue a/c debit 100

To Unbilled/Unearned A/c 50(Line item 1 of release order)

To Unbilled/Unearned a/c 50 (line item 2 of release order)

Requirement

Revenue a/c debit 50

To Unbilled/Unearned A/c 50(Line item 1 of release order)

Revenue a/c 50

To Unbilled/Unearned a/c 50 (line item 2 of release order)

Hi Satya,

I am sorry I can't help you more because I have no idea of Revenue Recognition functionality in SAP (in the distribution world we don't do this, invoicing is enough!)

I hope some RR expert can give you a hand.

Best Regards,

Franck
