Additional account assignment objects in the line item. These include, for example:

• Terms of payment
• Payment method
• Cost center

In addition to the account assignments for posting key, account number, and amount, you can enter additional account assignments. For example, a business area is an additional account assignment relevant in Financial Accounting, while the cost center is relevant in Controlling.

If there is not enough space on the line item entry screen to display all the possible additional account assignments, the system displays them in a dialog box. It automatically displays this dialog box whenever there are additional account assignments that must be entered but that do not appear on the standard entry screen.
