Displaying a Counter 

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.

In addition to the display functions for counter readings in the Posting Control Office (if you have installed this) and usage options for counters when you define account settlement conditions, you can also use the information provided here about certain counter readings, for example, to track posting activity developments on an account.

For more information on the Counter business object, see Payment Order in the SAP Library.

Prerequisites

You have processed all the necessary activities for defining a counter in the Customizing for Account Management under Item Management ® Counters. You have also assigned the counter either to the condition group type or the account product of the selected account.
