Define Accrual/Deferral

In this section you define per company code which flow types you want to accrue/defer and assign offsetting flow types to them.

The reset procedure for accruals/deferrals is supported in the Securities area. You therefore enter the related offsetting flow for each flow type you want to accrue/defer. In other words, you enter the flow types of the accrual/deferral flows and the reset flows both for accruals and deferrals.

Example

The original flow to be accrued/deferred is an interest debit position. If the due date of the interest debit position falls before the interest period it relates to, and you perform an accrual/deferral run within the current interest period, the affected flow is deferred. The relevant accounts are determined via the flow type that you have entered as the offsetting flow type for the interest debit position flow type for deferral.

Requirements

All the flow types you enter here must have been defined correctly in Customizing step Define Flow Types.

You must have maintained the

Account Determination for the flow types.

Activities

c) Enter the flow types when you use the reset procedure.
The following flow types are delivered with the system:
- 8991 Accr.: Accrued revenue
- 8992 Accr.: Write back acc. revenue
- 8993 Defer.: Write back def. revenue
- 8994 Defer.: Deferred revenue
