Prepare Automatic Posting for Payment Requests (SAP Library - Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable)

Prepare Automatic Posting for Payment Requests

In this step, you store the following information for entering requests for customer and vendor payments:

Posting key for the debit posting or credit posting

special G/L indicator . A noted item, that is, a special G/L transaction, that does not result in a balance update on accounts, is identified with this special G/L indicator. You can either use the indicator that is delivered with the standard system or define a new indicator.

The special G/L indicator you are using here must be entered in the list of the special G/L indicators or the special G/L transactions to be paid. Read the section "Requirements".

A request for payment activates a payment by the payment program. It is paid by the payment program when the due date is reached.

Standard Settings

In the standard system, the posting keys 09 and 39 and the special G/L indicator "P" are delivered. Furthermore, the special G/L accounts 198000 or 198100 are provided in the chart of accounts JSAS and the special G/L accounts 266900 and 266950 in the chart of accounts ISCA.

Requirements

If you want a different special G/L indicator to the one used in the standard system, you must create it beforehand.

Furthermore, you must define the corresponding alternative reconciliation account if you create a special G/L transaction with an indicator since an alternative reconciliation account is posted to instead of the normal receivables account or payables account in the case of special G/L transactions.

Read the chapter

"Store reconciliation accounts for customer down payments".
