Open item management for zero-balance clearing accounts

For postings that cause zero-balance clearings in General Ledger Accounting (new) or in special ledgers, you can now post the corresponding clearing items in the entry view in a separate document on accounts with open item management, and not just in the general ledger view as was the case until now.

This is relevant if you also want to monitor a clearing between balancing units (such as, a fund) in a subsequent process (such as, a cash withdrawal) which was made more difficult until now by how the zero-balance clearing items were posted.

With this new form of update, you can use the open item management as a form of control to be able to monitor the subsequent processes more effectively. This provides you with improved change logging of individual processes.

Cash control (CC)

You can use cash control (CC) to perform an availability check based on the existing cash balance. CC is embedded in General Ledger Accounting (new)

Until now the system did not prevent over-expenditure for the cash balance of individual entities, such as a fund. You can now monitor the available cash balance using CC and defined criteria (for example, cash in the context of a fund) and perform checks during the manual or automatic payment process. The CC function provides you with flexible Customizing from defining data sources (ledgers) through to derving objects of the availability control.

Reporting for cash-basis accounting and cash flow reporting

You can now use a standard report for cash-basis accounting and cash flow reporting. Until now, there were no report templates for cash-basis accounting and cash flow reporting which meant you had to create your own reports.

This function provides you with standard reporting functions for text and demonstration purposes, as well as templates that you can adjust to suit your specific requirements. You run the report using transaction PSFCL.
