Definition

This setting enables you to set a posting block during the complete onsite billing process (from meter reading order preparation to invoicing). During this time, you can prevent postings from being made to the customer's contract account, since these my falsify the onsite bill.

This is important if open items, or an account balance are presented on the onsite bill and a clearing has occurred in the meantime. This would cause the bill generated in the IS-U system to differ from the onsite bill.

Note that when the meter reading and onsite information is transferred to the system (transaction EL35), a posting block cannot be set in simulation mode.

Also note that if the invoicing function resets a posting block, the block is not reinstated if invoicing is reversed. You must reinstate the block manually, since postings may have been made to the contract account between the time of invoicing and reversal.
