Simulating and Executing Postings

When a posting is made, the system only takes into account the planned records (that do not have a deletion flag nor an account assignment block) of the cash flow for active general contracts.

Your system administrator creates a background job for you that automatically starts the debit position in the required intervals.

Result

Posting

The system:

Selects flow records not yet posted (planned records in the cash flow) up to the current date.

Keeps an account determination for every flow record, makes debits, credits and postings to the real estate objects (but no postings are made during simulation)

Updates the note to payee or contract number in the documents in Financial Accounting as document number (if the purpose is not given)

Generates a reference number for posting run (not during simulation)

To check whether the posting has been carried out, go to the tab Conditions in the general contract. If you have successfully made the posting, the indicator for the condition type would have changed from "P" (planned record) to "A" (actual record).
