Definition

There are the following different transactions for posting an accrual depending on the accrual type:

  • Opening Entry:
    The total amount to be accrued is posted. The posting is usually made to an accrual account.
  • Change to an Opening Entry:
    If a change is subsequently made to an accrual (after the opening entry has been posted), you can make settings in Customizing so that the difference from the total amount accrued previously is posted with this transaction.
  • Post Periodic Recognition:
    The total amount of an accrual is spread over the total life in accordance with the accrual method. The corresponding partial amounts are posted in the periodic accrual runs. These postings are also known as periodic accruals postings and are usually made from an accrual account to an expense or revenue account.
  • Transfer Periodic Recognition:
    This transaction is only relevant for leasing accounting.
    For more information, see Notes on Leasing Accounting.
  • Closing Entry:
    If an accrual object is terminated prematurely, the total amount to be accrued has consequently not been completely recognized. The

amount not yet recognized (total amount minus all partial amounts recognized periodically thus far) is written off in a closing entry.


The system only conducts the above postings if you have defined the accrual type in Customizing for accruals.
