The "Transfer +/- sign" indicator should ONLY
be used in rare instances!

The "Transfer +/- sign" indicator should be used selectively for those individual condition types that

1. can have both negative and positive values (This is especially the case with condition types that can represent a revenue surcharge or a revenue reduction.)

2. occur more than once in a billing document and produce both debit postings and credit postings (This is the case when reserves are created or resolved, as described in OSS note 37114.)

If you select the "Transfer +/- sign" indicator, the system calculates a balance of the positive and negative values for that condition type. This ensures that the correct total for that condition type is shown in the corresponding value field.

Note that this indicator cannot be used to reconcile the sign handling in Financial Accounting (FI) or Sales and Distribution (SD) and Profitability Analysis (CO-PA). Selecting it will not cause signs for sales revenues, sales deductions, and costs to be handled the same way in CO-PA and either SD or FI.

The following table shows an overview of how condition values are updated in CO-PA for billing documents from SD:

Billing document (normal) "With +/- sign" "Without +/- sign"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Debit posting negative positive
(such as sales deductions)

Credit posting positive positive
(such as sales revenues)

Credit memo/return "With +/- sign" "Without +/- sign"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Debit posting negative negative
(such as sales revenues)

Credit posting positive negative
(such as sales deductions)
