Note

It applies for all postings for loss on receivables that:

If the posted values for the IVA or the maintained fixed amount for the account exceed the amount owed by the customer, at the end of posting the system issues information accordingly so that these values can retrospectively be maintained, if necessary.


Currency changeover

If the account is changed over to a new currency (EUR), any fixed amount maintained is automatically converted and the amount posted as IVA to the account "IVA on receivables" is taken off the books in the old currency and put on the books in the new currency. To this end there is a special clearing account in the Customizing of the value adjustment. Since there are no payment items is this instance, the transfer posting is performed differently from the transfer posting of currency changeover for posted items.
