 Displaying Counters

Use

You can display the readings of all counters that have been defined for an account that you have specified. The system determines the status of each counter for the account flows you want counted within a specified period, provided this period is after the last archiving run.

You can use this information, for example, to track posting activity on an account.

If you are using the Posting Control Office , you are provided with additional display functions for counters there.

In addition, you can use counters in the definition of settlement conditions.

For more information about the Counters business object, see Counters .
