Use
To show the income from different charge types separately (possibly as a service for your customers or for accounting reasons), you can post the charges separately depending on what they are for.
Prerequisites
Prerequisite 1:
In the Implementation Guide (IMG), set the indicator "Post charges separately" by choosing
Master data ® Product definition ® Product ® Create product ® Feature ® Account balancing ® Indicator: Post charges separately.
If the indicator is set, the charges are posted as separate transaction types and shown as such accordingly.
If the indicator is not set, the charges are grouped together and posted as one transaction.
You can specify the following charge types:
22 - item charge debit
23 - item charge credit
24 - dispatch expense charge debit
25 - dispatch expense charge credit
26 - account maintenance charge
(The credits of the above-mentioned charge types are not direct reversals of the debits, but apply in the case of negative values on item counters. Negative items, on the other hand, can result from reversals).
Prerequisite 2:
Create new transaction types in the Implementation Guide (IMG). Do this by choosing Account management ® Basic functions account management ® Maintain transaction types. In this IMG section you can also create your own transaction types.
The following transaction types are supplied with sample Customizing:
1220 - item charge
1230 - dispatch expenses
1240 - account maintenance charge
6220 - credit from item charge
6230 - credit from dispatch expenses
Prerequisite 3:
Assign the transaction types to the posting categories in the Implementation Guide (IMG). To do this, choose Account management ® Assign posting categories to transaction types.
Procedure
If you create an account, the default setting stored for the product applies. However, you can change this setting on the account and have the charges grouped together as usual.
Result
If the indicator is set, the charges are shown separately. However, if it is not set, the charges are grouped together and also transferred together as one posting to the general ledger.
