Use

This indicator for account determination is used to assign a G/L account to an FM account assignment..

If you use the characteristic, then you can make this assignment specifically different to the rule.

The program differentiates for the G/L account determination if the characteristic was assigned to an account or not:

  • If the characteristic is assigned to an account in the document, then the program tries to find the G/L account with this characteristic.
    If no FI G/L account is found after the first four attempts, then the program searches for the FI G/L account using masking. When searcing with masking, the characteristic is ignored.
  • In documents, for which the characteristic cannot be assigned to an account, the characteristic is also ignored.

For more information on the G/L account determination functions, see the description on commitment item.
