Posting Documents in General Ledger Accounting 

Use

If the balance of debits and credits in a document is zero, you can post the document. When you post the document, the system saves it and updates the G/L account balances.

Prerequisites

To check whether the balance of debits and credits is zero, choose Post. If this is not the case, the system does not post the document.

The system also checks whether the amount you are posting is less than or equal to the limit you are allowed according to tolerances defined by your system administrator.

Activities

  1. To post a document in General Ledger Accounting using the standard transaction, first enter the required data (see Entering Business Transactions in General Ledger Accounting )
  2. When the debits equal the credits and the data is complete, choose Document ® Post to post the document.

Result

The system updates the document file and the G/L account balances.
