To enter a special G/L transaction, you must enter a special G/L indicator in the line item. The system then posts the line item to a reconciliation account different to the one in the customer master record. These special G/L accounts are reported separately in the balance sheet. The most frequently made special G/L transactions are:

• Security deposits
• Down payments
• Bills of exchange
• Guarantees
• Individual value adjustments
• Amortization
• Interest receivable

You can post down payments and bills of exchange using special functions. For more information about down payments, bills of exchange, and guarantees, see the appropriate sections of this documentation.
