Making Reconciliation Postings 

Procedure

  1. In Cost Element Accounting choose the following for reconciliation:

    2. Actual postings ® Reconciliation with FI

  2. Enter the following data:
    1. Controlling area or company code
    2. Period
    3. Fiscal year
  3. Specify whether you want to:
    1. Execute all reconciliation postings
    2. Select reconciliation postings interactively
    3. Select reconciliation postings with user-defined rules

    You create the rules for the selection of reconciliation postings in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Cost and Revenue Element Accounting under Reconciliation Ledger ® Maintain rules for selection of reconciliation postings.

    In the initial screen for reconciliation postings, you can display or change existing rules or create new rules.

    You can check the results of the rules you have defined.

    – Choose Select reconciliation postings interactively.

    – Choose Execute.

    The Reconciliation Postings: Reconcile Selected Documents with FI screen appears.

    – Choose Edit ® Select ® Select using a rule

    – Select or create a rule.

    The R/3 System selects the totals records of the reconciliation ledger in the displayed list, for which the rules you have selected are valid.

  4. To control the type of processing as well as the preparation of the results, use the following indicators:
    1. Background processing
    2. Test run
    3. Detailed lists

 

Select Test run if you do not want to update the results immediately.

Activate Test run and Detailed list.

In this way, you can check the test run results. You can select a row from the detailed list and go to the corresponding documents. For more information on displaying documents, see:

Deselect Test run if the values are correct. The SAP R/3 System then updates the reconciliation results.

Select Background processing if you have a large amount of data for processing. This allows you to carry out processing at times of low system usage.
