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 other than the one in the vendor master record. These special G/L accounts are reported separately in the balance sheet. The most frequently made special G/L transactions are:

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

You can post down payments and bills of exchange using special functions. You can find further details about special G/L transactions in the appropriate sections of this documentation.
