In this activity you store the posting keys and posting rules for check deposit.

Creating Keys for Posting Rules

Under this node, you define all the posting rules you need for bank statement entry, including a key for each rule. The key determines the posting rules for general ledger and subledger accounting. The posting rule represents the business transactions recorded in the bank statement, such as:

  • Incoming check
  • Credit memo
  • Debit memo

Defining Posting Rules

In this step you define posting rules for each posting transaction you defined for bank statement entry.

You specify posting rules for one or two posting areas, depending on whether a posting transaction concerns only the general ledger or also affects the subledger.

Example

With the "check credit memo" transaction, you only need posting rules for the G/L accounts, since customer clearing occurs during check deposit.

But to clear a customer making a transfer, you will have to specify a second posting area in addition to specifying the posting rules for G/L accounts.

Account Determination

You then select the account determination and set up an account symbol for each posting transaction. Depending on various modification factors, account determination involves replacing the account symbol with an account to post to.

Account symbols are used to group together similar business transactions (e.g., check deposit) and direct them to different accounts according to a predefined differentiation. This facilitates flexible account determination when clearing accounts are posted to differently.

Examples of Flexible Account Determination

1) You want to record incoming foreign currency checks (e.g., DEM) in a clearing account different from the one for incoming checks in the local currency (e.g., US$). You do this with the following setup:

Account symbol        Currency    G/L account

Incoming checks        +            ++++++++09 (LC cash inflow)
Incoming checks        DEM            ++++++++14 (FC cash inflow)

A fully masked entry (++++++++++) in the "G/L account" field would lead to an outgoing account entered during bank statement entry.

2) You want to record the transaction "credit memo, rent" in an account different from the one set up for "credit memo" posting rules. To do this, you must create an account modification for this transaction and enter the account to be posted to:

Account symbol        Account modification    G/L account

Incoming checks        Rent received        0000099999 (Credit memo, rent)
Incoming checks        +                    ++++++++08 (LC cash inflow)

Actions

  1. Create one or two posting areas, depending on the posting transaction:
    1. one for the bank posting
    2. one for the subledger posting
  2. Store the posting rules for each posting area.
  3. Create the account symbols for the required transactions.
  4. Store the rules of account determination for the account symbols.

Additional Information

For general information on account determination see the text on the posting interface.
