Procedure
Group Box: General Ledger Update
...
1. Assign the account to one general ledger group. You already entered valid values when you defined the product.
For the balance sheet identification, the cumulative postings of all accounts with the same general ledger group for each bank posting area are transferred separately in debit and credit totals to the general ledger when the general ledger is updated. The system calculates the cumulative debit and credit totals for the period to be transferred in such a way that one balance is calculated for each account (including balance carryforward from the previous transfer). This balance is then used to decide, according to plus or minus sign, whether the total of account transactions for the transfer period is added to the credit or debit total of the current general ledger.
2. Assign the account to a netting group if netting is to use at least one more account from the same business partner, otherwise, leave this field empty to improve system performance. The name of a netting group consists of up to four characters.
To enable balance sheet identification (see, for example, §10 Bank Accounting Directive for Germany), all the flows (not yet transferred and on more than one account of the same account holder with the same formal interest conditions) must be added to a separate payable or receivable for the general ledger update. To ensure this, the corresponding accounts of an account holder must all have the same netting group and already be collectively balanced before the general ledger group cumulation. This procedure is called balance netting.
For more information, see Procedure for Balance Netting.
Group Box: Payment Item Control
...
The following options are available:
...
1. You can assign a posting control group already defined in the Customizing settings to the account, for example, corporate customer or private customer.
It can be useful to specify a posting control group even if you set one of the indicators No Material Checks or CpD (Suspense) Account, since the posting control rules are applied to formal errors that are subject to posting as well as for material errors.
2. You can specify whether the system is to check the available amount when you post reversal items for this account, and also how the system is to respond if the available amount on the account is not enough to cover the reversal item posting.
3. You can specify whether the check object Limit is run for this account for all payment item positions that are debit positions, or whether it is run only for the positions where you have specified this in the transaction type.
4. If you set the Deactivate All Material Checks indicator, you specify that the system does not check for material errors when you post payment items for this account. However, checks for formal errors subject to posting control cannot be switched off in this way.
5. If the account is funded in the overdraft protection of Master Contract Management (FS-MCM), the priority of this account is displayed according to your settings in the relevant account product. However, you cannot enter or change any data here.
6. If you set the CpD (Suspense) Account indicator, you specify that this account is a CpD (suspense) account. Since you cannot post directly to CpD (suspense) accounts, but only by reassignment or transfer of payment items, no material checks are necessary.
7. The Closed Account with Outstanding Payable indicator is available only in Editing Closed Account.
8. You can determine how the system is to prevent lock situations for this account that may arise through simultaneous postings within parallel packages.
9. If you set the indicator Plan Checks, you specify that when there are postings to the plan clearing account with a transaction type whose check object Plan Monitoring is activated, a plan payment detail is created and all the assigned material checks for plan monitoring are run.
10. If you activate the check object Plan Monitoring for the transaction type of the posting, and if you set the indicator Plan Contract Rules, you specify that a plan payment detail is created and that distribution is executed in the plan for postings to the plan clearing account with a transaction type whose check object Plan Monitoring is activated.
Group Box: Clear
This group box displays the values that have been set up in the product for the Clear feature. You can change the following attributes on the account:
· Can be taken off books automatically
You set the indicator if all the open items on this account are to be automatically cleared by the Clear Old Open Items report once the specified period of time has expired.
· Debit transaction type for automatic removal from books
· Credit transaction type for automatic removal from books
· Period in months
You adapt the transaction types and the period to the requirements of this account for the automatic removal from the books of open items by using the Clear Old Open Items report. The system uses the relevant transaction type for taking the offsetting position that arises off the books.
The Allowed Transaction Types (Debit and Credit) for clearing in dialog processing are not displayed in the contract.
For more information, see: Clear Payment Items.
