In this IMG activity, you specify how the system posts records into SAP Financials (the SAP FI Module). You customize how the system summarizes data, and how the system posts line items.

The ultimate destination of financial transaction entries in the system is the SAP FI Module. SAP FI is not part of PRA, but is part of Core ERP. JE entries are stored both in JE line item tables and in SAP FI.

Listed below are the main areas available in the activity for customizing journal entry accounting rules. An explanation of each follows. The fields show up in various tables in JE, but you can access them from the IMG activity. To add new entries, you select Change/Display and then New Entries.

Destination codes

Use the Destination Codes table to specify which posting keys are to be used for Production and Revenue Accounting (PRA) transactions subsequently posted to SAP FI. Posting keys are two-digit keys (numbers) that identify how specific entries are to be posted.

The destination code is tied to an account type, which identifies the type of JE table (line item table), such as Accounts Payable (AP) or Accounts Receivable (AR).

The destination code represents how data is processed in SAP FI. For example, a destination code could be configured with posting key 40, which represents a debit to a general ledger account in SAP Financials.

Destination Code/BI

Use the Destination Code/BI table to specify billing indicators and special general ledger indicators to be used for customer and vendor transactions.

In PRA, the billing indicator (BI) classifies whether a posting is a carried interest posting or a net profit interest posting for customers and vendors. The special G/L indicator determines which alternative reconciliation account is used for posting line items to customer or vendor accounts.

Account Type Rules

Use the Account Type Rules table to specify data for Journal Entry to use when processing transactions for a line item table. The rules control how postings are made. In this area, you are in effect customizing how to create a document in FI. There are two ways to do that: by account type - which is at a high level, and by account ID - which is a specific account. The document type is configurable in FI, and you can set up rules for it here. SAP recommends that you use one document type for PRA for everything. This should follow the rule: one batch = one document.

Note: To access the Account Type Rules: Detail screen in order to specify data, double click the account type on the Account Type Rules: Overview screen.

Account ID Rules

Use the Account ID Rules table to specify data for Journal Entry to use when processing transactions for a JE line item table.

The rules in this table are more specific than the rules in the Account Type Rules table. The system first processes transactions with any rules listed in this table, and subsequently processes transactions with any rules listed in the Account Type Rules table.

Example

You could use this table, for example, if one particular Accounts Payable account required rules more at a more detailed level than the rules defined for the Accounts Payable line item table as a whole.
