In this activity you define the numbers of the accounts required for the adjustment postings that sort the receivables and payables according to their maturity (remaining term).
Postings are made to these accounts to sort the open items. Sorting open items is necessary so that receivables and payables can be displayed according to the legal requirements for creating balance sheets.
Customers with a credit balance and vendors with a debit balance are included in the account determination for sorting.
You have defined the remaining term for receivables and payables in Customizing for Accounts Recivable and Accounts Payable under Business Transactions -> Closing -> Regrouping -> Define Sort Method
