Use this function to reset part of an accrual/deferral run or all of it. The reset function corresponds to a reverse posting for the accrual/deferral. The posting date of the reset must be at least one day later than the posting date of the accrual/deferral.

You must reset the accrual/deferral before performing the next accrual/deferral run.

You must have assigned the flow types for the accrual/deferral and for resetting the accrual/deferral to each flow type to be accrued/deferred for each company code. You do this in Customizing for securities by choosing Define Accrual/Deferral.

You also enter the method you want to use to calculate the accrual/deferral amounts.

You determine the accounts to which these flow types are posted in Customizing for securities by choosing Define Account Determination.

You can use the following selection criteria to restrict the evaluation area for resetting the accrual/deferral:

• Company code
• Product type
• ID number
• Securities account
• Account assignment reference
• Position currency
• Flow type

Enter the key date of the accrual/deferral, and the date on which you want the reset posting to take place. The posting date of the reset must be at least one day later than the posting date of the accrual/deferral.

You have the option of performing a test run first. If you do, the system displays a list of the accruals/deferrals that were reset, but no postings are made.

All the accrual/deferral flows that were posted on the key date are reset according to the selection criteria you entered. If you do not enter any selection criteria, the system resets all the accrual/deferral flows for the key date.

The posting log is displayed if you performed the reset accrual/deferral run as an ‘update run’, in other words, you set the Post indicator.

The posting log tells you which postings were made. Each posting document tells you the number, the class (ID number), the G/L account to which the posting was made, and the amount.

The list is divided into the following columns:

If errors occur when you execute a reset accrual/deferral run, an error log is output.
