F110: Charge indicator

[former_member240059]

Hi all,

I would like to know if the transaction f110 post charges on automatic way through the charge indicator, field T042I-GEBKZ, previous account determination done and join payment method to this indicator.

System doesn´t post any position according with this indicator.

Thanks in advance.

Emilio,

Years ago, I did a setup for debiting bank charges while carrying out F110 payment runs. I don't remember using the field you've mentioned. Instead, I'd used the fields in the House Bank (txn FI12 under Data medium exchange section for Charges account).

Here you specify the Bank no. and the account no. at that bank, which will tell your Bank from which account to debit the charges. What is noteworthy here is that F110 was not used to debit charges, rather instructions were sent to the Bank (via DME) to debit charges (based upon pre-defined and agreed upon rates & categories, etc.).

To complete the setup, there's another field we were using - Control Key in the same section just below the Charges Bank no. and account no. This field has specific usage in some countries (check F1 help on this field), and for all other countries, you can use the field for any account-specific information. We used this to send an indicator to our Bank specifying on what terms to debit charges - like, sending party pays charges, receiving party pays charges, or charges are borne equally by both sending and receiving party.

Sending party - Payer of Funds

Receiving party - Beneficiary of Funds

While the above doesn't answer your original question, hope this helps at least giving you an alternative approach to experiment with.

For your original approach, I hope you've done the settings in txn OBXK - Maintain FI config. - automatic postings for bank charges. The system posts the charges amount you specify for a bank item when settling payment to these accounts. The bank charges accounts must be defined as relevant to cash flow. I haven't used these settings myself - just stating the standard functionality.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Gulshan,

First of all, vey thanks for your answer, Now idon´t know if i´ll use your answer but I very much appreciate your interest.

One question to your answer., How I join the customizing in FI12 and the transaction OBXK?.

Thanks in advance.

Emilio,

I'm afraid I seem to have misled you. In my earlier response, I have two distinct approaches to address your issue.

The first one is using FI12, and sending debit instructions to your Bank, who will carry out the actual charges, and inform you via your (incoming) Bank statement, etc. The charge will hit your charges G/L account only at the time of uploading and posting the (incoming) bank statement.

The second approach is using OBXK, which you are already exploring. In this, it seems to me SAP will apply the charges and they will your charges G/L account at the time of payment run (settling the outstanding invoices).

The two approaches are alternatives - not linked to each other.

Obviously, to make the first approach work for you, you have to have the support of your Bank - which increases the complexity and dependency (on an external partner) for success.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Gulshan,

Thanks again, Now it´s clear.

Last question, I promise to you:

Using OBXK, you refer to manual payment (transaction FBZ2 for example) not to F110. It´s OK?.

Thanks in advance

Emilio,

To the best of my knowledge, it is possible to use either F110 or manual payments, though given a choice, I'd prefer F110 for using settings made through OBXK. Honestly, I haven't had a chance to try out this option ever. So, can't give anything more concrete.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

in OBXK we give the GL account as per the chart of accounts. This will be used for that relevant company code.
