Definition

Method with which the amounts to be periodically accrued are calculated.

The accrual methods are assigned at the accrual type and accounting principle levels.

Use

You have the following options:

  • You enter the accrual method for each accounting principle / accrual type combination.
  • You enter no accrual method.
    In this case, a default accrual method must be defined in Accrual Engine Customizing for the corresponding accounting principle / accrual type combination. When you save the accrual object, the system then adds this accrual method automatically.
