Definition

The debit/credit indicator is used to distinguish between debit and credit postings.

Debit postings are indicated by "D". These postings arise from

  • debit postings in Financial Accounting (FI)
  • reversal of credit postings in FI
  • postings to receivers in Controlling (CO)
  • reversals of postings to receivers in CO

Credit postings are indicated by "C". These postings arise from

  • credit postings in FI
  • reversals of debit postings in FI
  • postings from senders in CO
  • reversals of postings from senders in CO

Credit postings from order settlement are indicated by "O".

Credit postings from shipments to warehouse are indicated by "S".

The CO debit/credit indicator is independent of the amounts posted and thus is distinct from the FI debit/credit indicator. A debit posting of $100 in FI is updated with a Dr/Cr indicator "D" and the positive amount of $100. A corresponding credit posting with "C" and a negative amount of -$100 is also made.
