Manually Posting an Entry (SAP Library - Business Consolidation (SEM-BCS))

Manually Posting an Entry

Procedure

Run the consolidation monitor.

Check the parameters.

Place the cursor at the intersection between the organizational unit to be posted and the task to be performed, and choose Update Run.

Note

If you did not assign the document type for manual posting to a task, the system automatically assigns the document type to the data collection task.

The tab General shows that the document type is already filled. Enter the missing header data (for example, the partner unit).
The Fixed Subassignments tab displays the subassignments that were fixed with a permanent or temporary default in the document type. You specify the fixed value for each subassignment. You can revoke the fixing of subassignments that are only temporarily fixed by removing the subassignment from the tab page. If necessary, you can re-fix the subassignments that were removed later on when you enter the line items.
On the Line Items tab you post the necessary journal entries.

Run a simulation to ensure that the entry is complete, and to view the automatic line items that are generated by the program. To do this, choose Check.

The system checks, for example, if:

the document balance is zero

all required subassignments have been entered

all required currencies have been entered

Automatic line items have an indicator that shows whether the entry is a financial statement balancing adjustment. If needed, you can modify the automatic line items. For example, you might want to select a different subassignment for selected items (see also Financial Statement Balancing Adjustments).

To reverse the simulation, choose Reset. This removes the automatic line items.
