Posting Charges Separately

Use

To show the income from different charge types separately (possibly as a service for your customers or for accounting reasons), you can post the charges separately depending on what they are for.

In the Implementation Guide (IMG), set the indicator "Post charges separately" by choosing

Start of the navigation path Master data Next navigation step Product definition Product Create product Feature Account balancing Indicator: Post charges separately. End of the navigation path

If the indicator is set, the charges are posted as separate transaction types and shown as such accordingly.

If the indicator is not set, the charges are grouped together and posted as one transaction.

You can specify the following charge types:

22 - item charge debit

23 - item charge credit

24 - dispatch expense charge debit

25 - dispatch expense charge credit

26 - account maintenance charge

(The credits of the above-mentioned charge types are not direct reversals of the debits, but apply in the case of negative values on item counters. Negative items, on the other hand, can result from reversals).

Do this by choosing Start of the navigation path Account management Next navigation step Basic functions account management Maintain transaction types.
