Features

Selection

In the General Selections area, you select the positions for which you wish to carry out an account assignment reference transfer.

Make sure to transfer all the selected positions to the same New Account Assignment Reference.

Enter the transfer parameter Posting Date (key date on which the posting is to occur) and the New Account Assignment Reference.

We recommend that you first carry out the account assignment reference transfer as a test run. To do this, set the Test Run indicator.

 

Output

Once you have made your selections, a list of the positions to be transferred is displayed. After you have checked the positions to be transferred, select Execute Transfer. The general ledger transfer of the positions is performed and a posting log is output. You can branch from the posting log to the error log for the posting log. Once you carry out the account assignment reference transfer, the system sets a posting block. This means that no postings with a key date earlier than the posting date of the account assignment reference transfer can be posted to the position.

Reversing the Account Assignment Reference Transfer

If you need to reverse the account assignment reference transfer after the transfer has been updated, you can use the transaction Reversal of Account Assignment Reference Transfer.

The system lists the selected positions. If it is unable to find an account assignment reference, however, then neither the posting date nor the old account assignment reference are displayed for the position. This position is then not taken into account as part of the reversal. Once the account assignment reference transfer has been reversed, the system displays a posting log from which you can branch to an error log.
