Use

In this IMG activity, you define a set of rules for defining account determination.

Account determination is called up when Accrual Engine documents are passed on to Accounting, meaning that account determination occurs automatically with every posting (opening entry, periodic accrual posting or closing entry).

To ensure error-free account determination, the following information must be defined:

  • Document type
  • Start account (such as accrual account)
  • Target account (such as P&L account)

With a set of rules, you define the dependencies between the source fields and the target fields from which the document type and the accounts are to be derived. You have to define a set of rules before you can define the values for it (such as document type, accounts).

A set of rules is made up of a series of individual rules. When creating the individual rules, you have the following options:

  • You can define rules that build on one another. Here, you must create the rules in the order in which you want the system to work through them.
  • You can define parallel rules. Here, you must remove the flag Post error message if no value found from the Properties tab when defining the individual rules.

As source fields, you can use standard fields and component-specific fields:

Standard fields

ACCRULE    Accounting principle (RLV)

ACRTYPE    Accrual type

CHOACC    Chart of accounts

Customer-Specific Fields

You can use the customer-specific fields that you defined as source fields in activityMake Customer Settings for Components

Activities

To create a set of rules for account determination, proceed as follows

You are in the Accrual Engine - Account Determination: Change Strategy screen.

  1. Choose Create Step.

    The Accrual Engine - Account Determination: Rule Definition screen appears.

  2. In the Derivation Rule field, enter a text for your rule.
  3. In the Definition tab, choose the required source and target fields.
  4. In the Condition tab, you have the option of entering a condition for linking source and target fields.
  5. In the Properties tab, you can make extra settings for your rule. For example, you can make settings to allow maintenance of time-dependent entries.
  6. Save your rule.

You can call up IMG activity Define Values for Set of Rules directly. Here, you can enter the values for your rules. To do so, choose Maintain Rule Entries.
