In this step you define the posting rules that are required in your company.

You specify the posting rules for either one or two posting areas, depending on whether a posting transaction concerns only bank-related accounting or also affects subledger accounting.

Example

With the "credit memo, checks" 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 (such as incoming checks) 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., USD). 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.

  1. You want to record the "credit memo, rent" transaction 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)

Note

Make sure that an account number with ten digits is always used as a basis when you make masked entries (using +). If you use a shorter account number (for example, with six digits), you must maintain the entries in right justification.

Also take note of the "Goto -> Simulation" function in the maintenance screen, where you can test your entries for posting.

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, depending on the possible modification factors.

Additional Information

For additional information on account determination, see the text on the posting interface.
