Posting a Corporate Action (SAP Library

Posting a Corporate Action

Prerequisites

The corporate action must be activated (status 1/2/3/4).

You have to perform period-end closing for all relevant reference securities on the key date of the corporate action.

You must not execute period-end closing after the key date of the corporate action for securities whose positions are affected by the corporate action.

You have to create a securities account position indicator for any new positions.

Procedure

Choose Accounting ® Corporate action ® Post.

Enter the Corporate action number and the Company code in which you want to post your corporate action.

An issue currency conversion is executed for all company codes.

Enter the Calculation date, Posting date (FI) and Document date (FI). The Posting date field defaults to the current date. You can, however, overwrite this date.

In the Assignment text (FI document) field, you can enter a text which will appear later in the FI document.

If you set the Simulation indicator, the system performs a test posting run.

Choose Execute. This posts the corporate action.

Result

When you post the corporate action, the company code positions are updated and the related FI documents are generated, where required.
