Editing a Posting Activity 

You can edit a posting activity as follows:

  1. Date details:

    2. Enter the various date details relating to the posting activity.

  2. General details:

    3. Enter the paying bank, the counterparty and the internal bank account. The system fills the internal bank account field automatically, either with the internal bank account defined for the securities account, or with the account defined in the standing instructions for the counterparty, provided that the counterparty standing instructions have been flagged as active in the company code additional data in Customizing.

  3. Posting data:

    4. Enter the posting date for the manual posting activity and your own allocation text, which appears in the FI document after the posting has been made.

  4. Exchange rates:

    5. If the manual posting activity relates to several currencies, the system displays the exchange rates between the position currency and the settlement currency, between the settlement currency and the local currency and between the position currency and the local currency. Only the rates actually required for currency translation are visible.

    If you change the exchange rates, the system immediately translates all flows in the manual posting activity on the basis of the new rates. The amounts are always translated in the following order:

    Amount in position currency

    ® Amount in settlement currency

    ® Amount in local currency.

    The system defaults to the exchange rates on the value date. You can restore the default rate for each exchange rate at any time by deleting the corresponding entry.

  5. Order number (only for single valuation):

    6. For single valuation you have to assign the manual posting activity to an inflow in the securities account you have selected, since valuation is performed in this case per position inflow. Hence, all flows must be uniquely assigned to a position inflow. You can use the F4 possible entries button to call up a list of all the possible inflows in the relevant securities account.

  6. Editing an Existing Flow
  7. Adding a New Flow
  8. Deleting a Flow
  9. In the lower half of the table the system always contains all the current flows in the manual posting activity. The last table entry is the net payment amount, which is made up of all the flows. (Net Payment Amount)
  10. When you have finished editing, save the complete manual posting activity as a planned flow via Save without posting or post it directly as an actual flow using the Post function.
  11. When the posting activity is complete, a posting log appears for control purposes.
