Background documentationPosting Parameters

 

You can make the following settings:

  • Post Immediately

    Select this indicator to have the program post the data immediately (call transaction). You must select this field if you want to use the postprocessing transaction for the electronic bank statement. For more information, see Postprocessing Bank Statements.

  • Bank Accounts Only

    If this field is activated, the system initially posts only to posting area 1 (General Ledger or Bank Accounting) when the bank statement is imported (defined in each case by the posting specifications). The postings for posting area 2 are not carried out at this stage, and can be made at a later date.

  • Generate Batch Input

    Select this field if you want to create batch input sessions. You can post the line items to the general ledger and subledger accounts at the same time. Two batch input sessions are created for this:

    • Bank accounting

    • Subledger accounting

    Both sessions are created in the course of one run.

    Note Note

    Once a transaction is included in a session, it is considered as posted.

    End of the note.

    For more information, see Postprocessing Bank Statement Using Batch Input Procedure.

  • Session Names

    This option is not effective if you have set the Post Immediately indicator. You enter a number that specifies how the session name is to be generated. The default setting is 1, meaning that the session name consists of the house bank ID and account ID. This applies both to the bank posting session and the subledger posting session. The only difference is that the first character in the name of the subledger posting session is a "/".

  • Do Not Post

    If you select this field, no postings are created. The data is loaded into bank data storage and held there. From the posting log, you can ascertain which postings would have been placed in the batch input sessions during a production run. This setting is useful during the test phase.

  • Assign Value Date to Account

    If you select this field, the system uses the value date when posting.

    Note Note

    Make sure that the value date field on the bank posting line items is ready for input (see the field status groups).

    End of the note.
