Reverse postings and adjustment postings can be set as negative postings. Negative postings decrease the transaction figures for G/L accounts, customers and vendors. After reversal, transaction figures can, therefore, be reset to the status they would have had before the reversed document and corresponding reversal document were posted. In this case, the reversal is a negative posting. The settings have been taken from the standard system. You can find additional information in Chapter Closing – Accrual/Deferrals .

3.5.2.2 Payment Transactions

3.5.2.2.1 Manual Bank Statement

3.5.2.2.1.1 Make Global Settings for Electronic Bank

Statement

Use

In this activity you make the global settings for the account statement. There are four main steps to be carried out:

Create account symbol

Specify G/L accounts (such as bank, cash receipt, outgoing checks) whose postings have to be made from account statement. You assign account symbols to the G/L account numbers. These are required for the posting rules in step 2.

Assign accounts to account symbols

Define postings to be triggered by possible transactions in the account statement (such as bank transfer, debit memo). In the Posting Specifications Debit

C redit which you define here, use the account symbols from step 1, but not the G/L account numbers. This prevents similar posting rules being defined several times, the only difference between them being the accounts to which postings are made.

Create keys for posting rules

Assign posting rules to possible transactions in account statement file. A list of assignments where one external transaction code is assigned to one posting rule is called transaction type.

Create a transaction type

Assign bank details, for which the account statements have to be imported, to a transaction type. All the house bank accounts at a particular bank are usually assigned to the same transaction type.

For the following entries you have one customizing topic. If you have entered the customizing topic you will find all other settings in the Dialog Structure on the left hand side of the screen.

2. Enter chart of accounts 0010. Choose Continue .

3. Create Account and assign them to Account Symbols:

You create account symbols to define the posting specifications. Before the posting rules are used, the individual account symbols are replaced by the account to which items are to be posted. In this step, you define how accounts are determined for a particular account symbol.

To avoid you having to define a separate account symbol for each individual house bank account (each with a different G/L account and separate bank clearing accounts), the G/L

Acct field can contain a masked output.

5. Define Posting Rules/Posting Specifications:

In this step, you create posting specifications for each posting rule. The posting specifications enable you to define how a particular business transaction (such as a credit memo) has to be posted.

Posting specifications comprise one or two posting records Debit

Credit . The first posting record is called posting area 1 and usually involves a G/L account posting (BANK ACCOUNT

CASH RECEIPT, for example). The second posting record which is optional is called posting area 2 (CASH RECEIPT

CUSTOMER, for example).

Depending on whether a posting transaction affects bank accounting only, or affects both bank accounting and subledger accounting, you define posting rules either for the first posting area only, or for both the first and second posting areas.

House banks that use identical lists of business transaction codes (external transactions) can later be assigned to the same transaction type.

3.6.4.1 Creating Financial Statement Version

Use

In this activity:

You define the versions you need to create a balance sheet and profit and loss statement.

You can define versions for a specific chart of accounts, for a group chart of accounts, or without any specific assignment.

You then determine the financial statement items for your version.

You assign groups of accounts to the items at the lowest levels of the hierarchy. You can select the criteria that determine which items the accounts are displayed in. For example, accounts or groups of accounts can be assigned to particular items based on their balance.

© SAP AG Page 142 of 143

SAP Best Practices External Financial Accounting Basics (102): Configuration Guide

Alternatively, you can also assign functional area intervals at the lowest level of the structure, instead of account intervals. Either account intervals or functional area intervals can be assigned to a financial statement item. You must explicitly define financial statement versions to which functional areas are assigned as such. You do this by setting the “Fun. area allowed” indicator. This financial statement version can then also be used by the notes to financial statement in the G/L account information system.

The financial statement version is a copy of the BAUS version for Accounting. It has been copied and renamed to 0010.
