Use
In this IMG activity, you define default account assignments (for example, a default segment) for specific line items in processes for which it is not possible to derive the correct account assignments at the time when the document is posted. This is the case if the required information is not yet available when the posting occurs.

Example
The segment can be used as an example of an account assignment: For a cash receipt from a customer that is posted to a house bank account, it is not immediately known which invoices are to be paid by this cash receipt.
Step 1:
To make the information concerning available financial means available to the system within the shortest possible delay, a posting from checking account against cash receipt is made. Since no additional information is available for this, the account assignment must be made to a default segment.
Account Segment Amount
Checking Account Default 1000
Cash Receipt Default -1000
Step 2
The cash receipt account is then posted against the customer (with clearing of the customer). In this way, the correct segment(s) can be determined from the cleared invoice.
Account Segment Amount
Cash Receipt 0001 1000
Customer 0001 -1000
Step 3
Finally, both items on the cash receipt account are cleared against each other. Since both positions are assigned to different segments, corresponding clearing items must be generated on the cash receipt account.
If a zero balance is required for a segment, additional line items that set the document balance per segment to zero are generated on a clearing account defined in Customizing. These clearing items reflect the correction of the segment information on the checking account. However, it is no longer possible to determine the correct checking account. This could be ambiguous in more complex cases than this example. It is therefore useful to assign the clearing account in the balance sheet to the checking accounts.
Account Segment Amount
Cash Receipt Default 1000
Cash Receipt 0001 -1000
Clearing 0001 1000
Clearing Default -1000
