Background documentation Special G/L Accounts for Posting Bills of Exchange  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

To post bills of exchange the numbers of the corresponding special G/L accounts must be defined in the system. These accounts must be indicated as reconciliation accounts for the account type "customer" in the master records.

Note that for bills of exchange receivable you can distinguish between rediscountable and non-rediscountable bills by entering the appropriate special G/L indicators. If this distinction applies in your country, these bills should be displayed separately on the balance sheet. You should therefore use separate special G/L accounts when posting the bills.

The accounts should be managed with line item display so that you can call up a list of all bills of exchange. In the master records to the special G/L accounts, you can define your own sort sequence for display using the field. The standard system uses a sort by bill of exchange due date.
