Use

In this IMG activity, you define account assignment categories with which you control the field status of your additional account assignments during posting. This means that you decide whether you account assignment characteristics must be assigned during posting. You can choose between the following field statuses (or breakdown types):

  • Required breakdown

    The account assignment characteristic must be assigned when a document is posted

  • Optional breakdown

    The account assignment characteristic can be assigned when a document is posted

  • No breakdown

    The account assignment characteristic is hidden or deactivated when a document is posted

In IMG activity Assign Account Groups to Account Assignment Categories you assign an account assignment category to each of your account groups. The field status of an account assignment characteristic can therefore depend on the account group it belongs to.

Note

The following system settings override your settings in the account assignment categories:

  • If you have set the zero balance flag for an account assignment characteristic in IMG activity Define Account Assignment Characteristics, the breakdown type of the account assignment characteristic is always required breakdown.
  • For account assignment characteristic Legal Entity, the breakdown type is always required breakdown.
