Documenting Posting Data  

One of the main tasks in accounting is to record all business transactions according to when they took place and what was involved. The tax authorities and the external auditor can require companies to substantiate the figures they report in their financial statements. In order to be able to meet these requirements, it is important to document all posting data. The R/3 System provides programs which allow you to evaluate the following:

This section describes these functions in detail. See Additional Reports for more information on other important programs used in Financial Accounting.

Please note that any other evaluations you run in the background may adversely affect the result of these online evaluations.

You post a document online to accounts 000001 and 999999, at the same time as you generate a G/L account balance list. The report has already checked the balances of some accounts before you post the document, and this means that the line item posted to account 000001 is not included in that account balance. The second item (in account 999999) is, however included in the evaluation, as it had already been posted at the time the report checked the balance of 999999. This example would lead to the evaluation showing different total debit and credit postings in the accounts evaluated.
