Assigning G/L Accounts to Account Symbols (SAP Library - Electronic Account Statement (FI-BL))

Assigning G/L Accounts to Account Symbols

You can assign the G/L account to the account number in the following ways:

You can enter it in full:

Account symbol	G/L account
BANK	0000113100

You can enter the account number generically, i.e. by entering a series of "+" signs:

Account symbol	G/L account
BANK	++++++++++

If you enter the number generically, the system replaces these plus signs with the G/L account number you maintained for your house bank (for example, 0000113100).

You can enter the part of the account number and complete the field with "+" signs:

Account symbol	G/L account
BANK	++++++++02

In this case too the system replaces these plus signs with the G/L account number you maintained for your house bank, but the non-generic part of your entry remains in the field. Again, taking the example of account 0000113100 (as defined in the house bank master), the two end digits of the number are replaced by "02". This entry would trigger a posting to account 0000113102.

Note

Note that, when making generic entries (i.e. using "+" signs), the system expects a 10-character entry for an account. If you are using account numbers shorter than 10 characters, you must make your entries right-justified.

You can test the postings that your entries will trigger by selecting Goto ® Select simulation from the maintenance screen for the posting specifications.
