Definition

Indicator that distinguishes debit postings from credit postings.

Use

Debit postings are indicated by a D. They arise from the following:

  • Debit postings to expense accounts and inventory decrease accounts in Financial Accounting
  • Reversals of credit postings in Financial Accounting (such as revenue reductions and corrections of inventory increases)
  • Receiver postings in cost accounting
  • Reversals of receiver postings in cost accounting

Credit postings are indicated by a C (except for credit postings from settlement and delivery to inventory). They arise from the following:

  • Credit postings to revenue accounts and inventory increase accounts in Financial Accounting
  • Reversals of debit postings in Financial Accounting (corrections of expense postings)
  • Sender postings in cost accounting
  • Reversals of sender postings in cost accounting

Credit postings from settlement are indicated by an A.

Credit postings from delivery to inventory are indicated by an L.

Dependencies

The debit/credit indicator is independent of the posted amounts, in contrast to the debit/credit indicator in FI. A debit posting of $100.00 in Financial Accounting is updated with debit/credit indicator "D" and the positive amount +100.00, while the credit posting is updated with "C" and the negative amount -100.00.
