Account Assignment Using Function Enhancement 

You can also influence the determination of accounts for postings using the Account modification function (field FEBEP-KFMOD). Entries in the “Account modification” column are user-defined. They are required by the functional enhancement (customer exit) for your company-specific posting transactions such as “breakdown of account transactions by processing clerk” or “selection by delivery note number”.

Example:

An insurance company has defined the account symbol CASH_RECEIPT for cash receipts from its policy holders. To make the postings easier to analyze, the accounting department wants to post the cash receipts to different accounts according to the type of insurance involved. The insurance type is therefore denoted by the first three digits of the insurance number. The policy holders pay their premiums using pre-printed transfer forms containing the insurance number. This enables the company to set the account modification as the first three digits of the insurance number (by means of a functional enhancement). Assuming the G/L account for the bank account is 113100, the following entries would be made for account determination:

Account symbol	Account modif.	Currency	G/L account
CASH_RECEIPT	+	+	++++++++01
CASH_RECEIPT	200	+	++++++++02
CASH_RECEIPT	300	+	++++++++03

If you have programmed your function enhancement accordingly and then receive a cash receipt for insurance number 200.1234.3456.11, the table field FEBEP-KFMOD is set to “200” in customer exit. This triggers a posting to account 113102.

If the system cannot find an insurance number at the time of the cash receipt, this field remains empty and account 113100 receives the posting.
