Debit/Credit Indicator (BELKZ <-> BEKNZ) 
Definition
Indicator that shows the view of the sender/receiver relationships between CO objects.
Use
BELKZ
This characteristic is used to distinguish debit and credit postings in Controlling. The SAP system always interprets primary postings, reversals in FI, and activity-related and periodic postings in CO as debit postings (debits or adjustment postings of debits). In the case of secondary postings, the sender keeps a credit posting for the sender and a debit posting for the receiver.
The characteristic BELKZ is a virtual characteristic that is not entered in the database tables but is determined by the system at runtime. The following results are possible:
S - Cost allocation debit of receiver
H - Cost allocation credit of sender
A - Credit via settlement
L - Credit from delivery to warehouse
"A" and "L" are only used with internal orders.
BEKNZ
This characteristic represents the debit/credit indicator that is entered by the posting transactions of the posting records. It has a related meaning in Financial Accounting: in the case of reversals in FI and repostings in CO, the use of this characteristic causes the postings and the related primary postings to be displayed in special lines in reporting rather than being added together in one line. The following characteristics are possible:
S - Debit
H - Credit
A - Credit via settlement
L - Credit from delivery to warehouse
RecommendationTo obtain a correct view of the sender/receiver relationships in self-defined reports that arrange the line items per credit/debit indicator, you should use BELKZ as you would in standard reports. If you want a debit/credit view as in FI, you can use BEKNZ.
