Posting Business Transactions in Accounts Payable
Procedure
To enter a business transaction in Accounts Payable using the standard transaction, from the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting → Financial accounting → Accounts payable → Document entry → Invoice → Other → Invoice - general or Credit memo - general.
The system offers several functions. The functions are specifically designed for the relevant business transaction (for example, invoices or credit memos), or to simplify the process of entering several documents of the same type (for example, invoice and credit memo fast entry).
The posting key and the reconciliation account for the vendor account determine which fields are displayed on the next screen.
The posting key and the account number at the end of each screen determine which fields are displayed on the next screen for entering a line item.
Result
The system generates a
document, updates the transaction figures of the account involved and, where applicable, informs you of the internally assigned document number.
