The posting method is a JVA configuration object that can be used to:

  • Enable cash calls for joint ventures
  • Exclude postings to specific ventures from inclusion in the execution of certain JVA processes.

As part of defining a posting method, you must select whether cash calls are allowed under the posting method.

When you set up a JV in JVA processing, you must assign a posting method to the JV. At a minimum this posting method will indicate whether cash calls are allowed for the JV.

Posting method is also used as a criterion to select postings for inclusion in execution of the following additional JVA processes:

  • Cutback
  • Equity Adjustments
  • Non-operated billing
  • Tax postings

As part of cash call processing, you may choose to use posting method as a selection criterion for reclassification (function: CASH) as well.

Example

Requirements

Standard settings

Since assigning a posting method to a JV is required when you define the JV, you must set up at least one posting method for your company during configuration.

If cash calls are not allowed under the terms of some agreements, you may need to define one posting method for which cash calls are allowed and another for which the cash call indicator is not selected.

If posting method is to be used to selectively exclude postings to certain ventures from inclusion in the execution of certain other JVA processes, you may need to define additional posting methods.

Recommendation
