Define Alternative Reconciliation Account for Down Payments (SAP Library - Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable)

Define Alternative Reconciliation Account for Down Payments

In this step, you define an account in which the vendor down payments are managed in the general ledger. The down payment posting is then automatically made to this account instead of to the normal payables account (reconciliation account).

Note

You can group the specifications account type, special G/L indicator and reconciliation account together under one three-character key. You store the clearing accounts for input tax under this key in the next step. This is only necessary if you display down payments gross.
You specify in the alternative reconciliation account via the Tax category field whether a down payment is displayed gross or net.

Activities

1. Specify the number of the alternative reconciliation account.

2. Make sure that the account is created and that the Tax category field is filled correctly.

3. If you want the gross display, specify the clearing accounts for input tax in the next step.
