Defining Posting Rules 

Procedure

When you assign your Adjustment Accounts you also define posting rules. In the posting rules you specify according to which Posting Keys the Reconciliation Postings are to be made. The posting keys determine whether the posting is made to the debit side or the credit side of an account.

For more information on posting keys, see the IMG for Financial Accounting under Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Document ® Document Item ® Navigation ® Define posting key. Defining Posting Keys

The table below shows the most important posting keys:

You can define additional user-defined posting keys in Customizing for Financial Accounting.

You define unique posting keys for the CO-FI reconciliation posting, which is a separate business transaction. The posting keys are independent of the chart of accounts.
