In this section you set the accounts to which you wish to post an individual value adjustment. You can make specifications depending on the general ledger group, the general ledger transaction and the account currency.

Due to the special postings involved in individual value adjustments, (for example, reversal current year, reversal previous years) you can store different accounts here for an addition or reversal. Since posting of a reversal takes place with a converse +/- sign from the posting of an addition, you can enter the accounts in the same sequence.

Note

During individual value adjustment, no payment items are generated, but the system still updates the general ledger.

For technical reasons, the Customizing logic for payment transactions is also used for individual value adjustment: This means you will need to make some entries in the payment transaction Customizing tables used mainly for general ledger account assignment. It makes no difference if the transaction types are set as credits or debits, as in the case of individual value adjustment, this can only be derived from the posting category.

On the other hand, you have to make the settings for a loss on receivables the same as for normal payment items (credit, for example), as in this case, actual items are posted.

Standard settings

SAP supplies example settings for general ledger account assignments. Review these and adapt them to the chart of accounts you use.

Activities

Enter the general ledger account for individual value adjustment and, as offsetting account, the write-off account from receivables or, in the case if IVA reversals from previous years, the income account.

Example:

GL grp    GL trans.     Acct IVA on rec.    Offsetting acct

BUSI    4050        500100                700100

        (IVA addition)    IVA on receivables    Write-off on receivables

BUSI    8050        500100                700100

        (IVA reversal curr. year)    IVA on receivables     Write-off on rec.

BUSI    8060        500100                800100

        (IVA reversal prev.years)    IVA on receivables     Income/reverse

BUSI    9000    ,198020                198920

        (Curr.change.)    Clearing curr. change.    Clearing curr. change.

Additionally you will have to choose Assign medium and payment method to posting processes and make an entry for process 150 (individual value adjustment, general ledger process 0005) and an entry with medium for 160 (loss on receivables, general ledger process 0001).

Further notes

It is advisable to set up the account "IVA on receivables" in account determination as offsetting account for the items to be posted in the case of loss on receivables for value adjusted receivables (using posting category 85); account "Write-off on receivables" in the case of loss on receivables (using posting category 86).

It must be possible to post to the clearing account for currency changeover in all currencies, since on this account, the old currency is first taken off the books and then the new currency is put on the books. In order to make a clear distinction, it is advisable that this clearing account is different from the clearing account for the currency changeover of posted items.
