Document Parking 

Use

You can park data relating to customer, vendor, G/L, and asset accounts. There is an additional fast entry function for G/L accounts. For assets, you can only enter acquisitions. In addition, you can park tax information and special G/L indicators, although you cannot park special G/L indicators for bills of exchange and down payments.

Features

You can also park cross-company code transactions. A parked document is only created in the initial company code for such transactions. Several documents are then created when the parked document is posted. You cannot enter a cross-company code number for cross-company code transactions.

Information entered as part of a parked document is only checked as to whether it exists.

You can also check the document for completeness (optional). For example, the system checks whether the document balance is zero, and whether entries have been made in all required entry fields (such as posting key and account number).

The authorization checks carried out for document parking are basically the same as those made for standard document entry and processing. This is sufficient to enable you to assign authorizations which differentiate between clerks who only have parking authorization and those who can post documents too.

No tolerance checks are carried out.

The system then carries out checks for erroneous entries. You are not, for example, permitted to enter an undefined business area.

You can use account assignment models when parking documents, but not reference documents.

Batch input is possible for parked documents.
