Use
In this IMG activity you must define a set of rules for 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
Customer-specific fields that you defined as source fields in the Make Customer Settings for the Component activity are available to you.
