Options for Displaying Account Balances (SAP Library - FI Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable)

Options for Displaying Account Balances

You have the following options for displaying account balances:

Account Balance (debits and credits for the individual posting periods)

You can display the balances (credit and debit amounts) sorted according to posting periods. To do this, choose Goto ® Account balances.
The special G/L transactions are not displayed.

Sales/Purchases (by posting period)

To display the sales/purchases per posting period (debit minus credit of the sales/purchases-related postings), choose Goto ® Sales/purchases. The posting key you specify when you enter the line items determines whether a particular posting is part of sales or purchases.
Invoices and credit memos, for example, are part of sales and purchases, but payments are not.

Special G/L Transactions

You can display the accumulated balances from all business transactions that were posted using a special G/L indicator. To do this, choose Goto ® Sp. G/L transactions. The system displays the total amounts that were posted to this account for each special G/L indicator. This could include any of the following special G/L transactions:

Down payments
Guarantees
Individual value adjustments
Security deposits
Interest receivable
