Post immediately
Bank accounts only
If you select this indicator, the system initially posts only to posting area 1 (General Ledger or Bank Accounting) during account statement importing (defined in each case by the posting specifications). The postings for posting area 2 are not made at this stage and can be performed at a later date.
Generate batch input
To generate batch input sessions, select this option. At the same time, you can update the line items to the G/L and subsidiary ledger accounts. To do this, the system creates two batch input sessions:
Both sessions are created in the course of one run.
Once a transaction is included in a session, it is considered to be posted.
For more information, refer to
Postprocessing Account Statements.Session names
This option is not effective if the indicator Post immediately is selected. Enter a number that specifies how the session name is to be generated. The default setting is 1, meaning that the session name consists of the house bank ID and account ID. This applies both to the bank posting session and the subledger posting session, the only difference being that the first character in the name of the subledger posting session is a "/".
Do not post
If you select this indicator, no postings are generated. The data is loaded into bank data storage and held there. The posting log lists the postings that would have been placed in the batch input sessions during a production run. We recommend that you set this indicator during a test phase.
Assign value date to account
If you select this option, the system uses the value date during posting.
Make sure that the value date field on the bank posting line items is ready for input (see the field status groups).
