Use
In this IMG activity, you define the accrual types that you require for calculating and posting provisions for employee award schemes. The accrual type is a characteristic that divides the accrual item, for example into costs, revenues, and receivables. You use accrual types to define how provisions are to be calculated and posted.
If you want to perform all postings provided for by the system for an accrual type, the system makes the following postings:
- Opening entry
With an opening entry, the entire amount to be accrued is posted as the value. Account determination is normally set in such a way that the entire amount to be accrued is posted to an accruals account.
- Periodic postings
When periodic accrual is started, the accrual amount that is due at the key date is calculated and posted. Account determination is normally set in such a way that the posting is made from the accruals account to a profit and loss account.
- Closing entry
A closing entry is only made if the accrual object has been deactivated, even if all accruals have not yet been posted. The amount that has not yet been accrued at the time of deactivation is posted as a deactivation amount.
Requirements

Activities
To create a new accrual type, proceed as follows:
- Choose New Entries.
- In the Accrual Type field, enter a name for your accrual type, such as COSTS.
- Do not set the the Derived flag.
To calculate and post provisions for awards, you do not need derived accrual types..
- In the Accrual Posting field, choose Periodic only.
This ensures that only periodic postings are made for provisions postings. No opening or closing entries are posted.
In the Description field, enter a more detailed description for your accrual type
Save your accrual type.
