Previously, when you entered G/L account postings in Financial Accounting, you had to make entries on several screens. You can now enter the postings quickly and easily on one screen.
The new G/L account posting was developed as part of the Enjoy initiative and offers the following user-friendly functions:
In the upper part of the screen, you enter the general data for the document that is to be entered or further processed. Important input fields are therefore in the foreground on a tab, fields that are rarely used and detailed information are situated on tabs in the background. In the lower part of the screen, you enter the G/L account item in an individually configurable table. After you have made the entries, you can check, hold or post the document. To do this, the system accesses the check, proposal, and update logic of the existing entry transactions.
Note
The new transaction is offered parallel to the document entry transactions that already exist. You can access these from the initial screen under Accounting -> Financial accounting -> General ledger -> Document entry -> Other -> General posting.
For more complex postings, such as a G/L account posting with manual entry of tax items, you can branch directly to the existing complex posting transaction from the menu.
Note
You cannot return to the initial screen from the complex posting.
Transaction data that has already been entered and posted to the general ledger is not affected by the new function. No data conversion is necessary. All system settings are also effective in the new transaction.
Exceptions
In addition to the existing editing options for document entry, the system now also offers you user-specific options. Existing settings are retained.
