This is called the Functional Spec.<br /> <br />6. foreign currency revaluation why it is required ? <br />A foreign currency valuation is necessary if vendor accounts contain open items in a foreign currency. The amounts of these open items were translated into the local currency at the time they were entered using the current exchange rate for<br />example, USD 500 to EUR 600, the local currency. The exchange rate is probably different at the time of closing, and open items need to be valuated again. A program valuates the open items using the new exchange rate and enters the valuation difference EUR 10 in the valuated line items. It also creates the valuation posting.<br />7. 1. why do we request parallel currency? <br />the parallel curnceies are usd if the company is having two copany cods in deferent countries. for reporting purpose we use these currencies. <br />8. is it possible to have different currencies for gl accounts under one chart of accounts ? if yes what is the significance<br /> u can us co code curency as gl master curency. or u can specify balance in local curency in gl account.<br />9. how the opening & closing of periods is done for fi ?<br /> through the posting periods we can open and close posting peridos in ob52<br />10. what is the relation between fi & co and ho the accounting flow takes place? <br /> through controllinmg the accounting takes place between fi and co. and the primary cost elements are nothing but gl accounts in fi.<br />11.

What is difference between TAXJIN & TAXINN?<br />Select Tax Calculation Procedure : In this IMG activity, <br />you specify which tax procedure you want to use for <br />determining excise duties and sales taxes on input <br />materials in India.<br />If you use condition-based excise determination, use a copy <br />of the tax procedure TAXINN.<br />If you use formula-based excise determination, use a copy <br />of the tax procedure TAXINJ.<br />This tax procedure also supports condition-based excise <br />determination, so that you can work with both concurrently.<br />SAP strongly recommend that new customers use condition-<br />based excise determination. Note that once you have started <br />using a tax procedure, you cannot switch to another one, <br />otherwise you will not be able to display old documents.<br /> <br />18. what is the work of OKB9 and why we need okb9 setting?

What is meaning of T.code? where we can use this?<br /> t-code is nothing but transaction code. we are in easy access screne we want to go for img setting screnes straight away we can type /n with t.code to avoid navigation. that is the advantage. vice versa.i.e. from img screen to easy access screen.<br />22. what is cost component structure both splitting and switching?<br />Splitting structure : If a cost center provides two or more activities, then we define a splitting structure to inform the system to break up the cost into the activities tagged to the CC through the splitting structure<br />Switching structure ; If we do not want to retain all the cost components of a cost center to the primary cost center we use a switching structure. For example, we have a summarization cost center in which labor, overheads and<br />materials are charged. the same can be trfd to the primary cost component structure wherein the same will be added to respective cost components. However if we want to retain all the cost components as single component say Energy, we create a switching structure in which we assign all the elements to the energy component. In the planning layout, we assign this switching structure to the required CC<br /> <br />23. What are the different catagories of cost element?<br />Cost element tells you the origin of cost(It is a cost<br />carrier) i.e. how the cost originates and is carried. There<br />are two types of cost elements <br />a. Primary<br />b. secondry<br />Reliance is laying down fiber optics for their broadband<br />portfolio in Mumbai. They have (to name a few)<br />1. Bought fiber optics (External)<br />2. Hire Labor to dug service territories (External)<br />3. Dispatch Engineers to supervise the operation (Internal)<br />Now each one represents a cost that will be incurred by<br />Reliance broadband. For 1.&3. you will create a cost element<br />and assign it to a GL account while 3. can be made as IO.<br />So a primary cost element<br />a. is a cost carrier<br />b. had subsequent GL account <br />c. can be directly posted to<br />while a secondary cost element<br />a. is a cost carrier<br />b. is active for controlling only<br />24. what is Number Ranges? why we are using? How to give the number ranges for vendor creation?<br /> number range is a range of number that u define in the system. these are used to maintain the uniqueness of the item that has been allotted a number range. for example if one number from the range has been assigned then the system would not repeat it for that particular item. number range for the vendor can be defined in the AR/AP part of the config under financial accounting.<br />25. while posting transation f-02 error popping up it says 012 posting period not specified in 2009.

How many documents generated at the time good received?<br /> Two document generated at the time of good received. one is fi document & second is mm (material management)document.<br />35. What is price difference A/C why we use this A/C in what scenario we use Price Difference A/C?<br /> while doing intergation FI with MM we do price diff a/c in T.code. OBYC in that by using PRD A/c key we assign price diff G/l a/c to post differance between purchase order value and invoice value when we maintain material in MM01 as moving price<br />36. What is the Bank Sub Account?<br /> For Bank Main Accounts, we use different Sub accounts( <br />Clearing GL Accounts )<br />1. Check Issued Out<br />2. Outgoing fund transfer<br />3. Check Received..etc.,<br />For eg., for check issued out the following will be entry<br />Dr Check Issued Out<br />Cr Bank Main A/c<br />After uploading bank statement in SAP system, the GL Account<br />( Bank Main A/c in SAP) will exactly match with Bank A/c. <br />All the clearing Accounts(Bank Sub account) will be the <br />reconciliation items.<br />This is applied in Electronic Bank statement or Manual Bank <br />statement.<br />37. what is the T.code to get Financial a/c at group COA and Country COA?<br /> ob13<br />38.

Can we directly pass an entry to CO without FI? If yes, then how?<br /> No, because in co there are two type of cost element 1) primary cost element and 2) secondary cost element in which primary cost are the cost carrier for FI and CO means first financial data have to post in the system via gl and this data have to transfer from FI to Co . Secondary cost element are the cost carriers for CO and use for internal purpose. so w can't post finacial data directly in CO<br />41. How is sub ledger linked to GL?<br /> through Reconsulation ac in FS00<br />42. While doing entry in Fb60 or F-43 I am getting the error message quot;

What is the difference between Activity Type and Statistical Key figure because both are tracing factors. Do we need to configure both in controlling area?<br />activity type - helps the system to understand the nature of the activity carried out in that particular cost centre (cutting,polishing etc) Unlike in FI where components are already active, we need to activate this component in controlling<br />Statistical Key figure - is also known as value field. Data in the r/3 system is stored in data structure and this data structure = characteristics + value fields. Any report is generated from this data structure. THis component also <br />needs to be activated in controlling<br /> <br />48. What is Group Currency and Hard Currency?<br />Hard currency - Hard Currencies are used in countries with high inflation to improve the value of transaction.
