BBK

Balance based, posting balance, key date-based

With the BBK method, the system brings the posting date-based balances of the subacoounts to EUR 0 at a certain time (key date). The system bundles postings with the same posting date and during cash pooling, makes an aggregated posting to the main account for each posting date.

Example Example

If there are five postings with three different posting dates on various subaccounts, the system makes three clearing postings to the main account during cash pooling.

End of the example.
