Hello all, I have some questions from my TB1000/TB1100 course that I couldnt answer. If you could help I'd really appreciate it!

10. Which document allows batch information but does not require it (regardless of management method)? (Hint: this document does not allow serial number information.)

11. How does SAP Business One reflect vendor's transactions in the chart of accounts? Can Business Partner Master Data balances appear in the Chart of Accounts?

15. How does SAP Business One set the value to be credited and debited in an automatic journal entry created by a Goods Receipt PO?

Hi..........

How does SAP Business One reflect vendor's transactions in the chart of accounts? Can Business Partner Master Data balances appear in the Chart of Accounts?

Ans: All the Business Partner comes under charts of account as they the sub levels of Sundry Debtors and Sundry Creditors.

Sundry Debtors is GL Control account for Customers in Assets Drawer and Sundry Creditors is GL Control account for Vendors in Liability Drawer.

When the transactions happen all the BP balances ultimately goes to the Charts of Account as their control accounts lie in COA.....

How does SAP Business One set the value to be credited and debited in an automatic journal entry created by a Goods Receipt PO?

Ans: Accounting is standard in every ERP software. So it has been carefully coded that If GRPO is punched which account should be debited and which account should be credited.

For Example if you do GRPO then your stock will be increased so Stock account will be debited and one of the allocation account will be credited which gets debited at the time of Invoice in order to balance the accounting.

These should be set in Accounting level of GL accounts Determination and Warehouse/Item Group/Item Level Account.

Which document allows batch information but does not require it (regardless of management method)? (Hint: this document does not allow serial number information.)

Ans: There are several tables where batch information maintains like OIBT, IBT1, OBTN and series no. tables are different.

Regarding the question: Which document allows batch information but does not require it (regardless of management method)? (Hint: this document does not allow serial number information.)

I thought I might add an additional comment to the previous answer. This question in the Study Guide is really about understanding how batch and serial information can be used and stored in the sales and purchasing processes.

I recommend you create documents in the sales and purchasing processes and attempt to enter serial and batch numbers. This will give you a better sense of which documents require, allow or disallow serial number information. Most documents in the sales process which allow batch information also require it; however the sales order allows you allocate batches even though batches are not required at that stage in the process. To allocate batches, open the Batch Number Selection window from the context menu in the sales order.

For more information on this topic, you may also wish to see the online help on Assigning Batch Numbers in Sales, Purchasing and Inventory Documents. That help topic also has some good information on how batches are handled in draft documents.

Thanks again Kathryn, I did what you said and found that Sales Orders don't allow serial numbers, and optionally allow batch numbers.

Much appreciated,
