To enter a special G/L transaction, you must enter a special G/L indicator in the line item. The system then posts the line item to a reconciliation account other than the one in the vendor master record. These special G/L accounts are reported separately in the balance sheet. The most frequent special G/L transactions are:
Down payments
Bills of exchange
Guarantees
Security deposits
Individual value adjustments
Amortization
Interest payable
You can post down payments and bills of exchange using special functions.
