Use
Set this flag if the data for this entry is to be read from the local system.
Dependencies
Example
Supplementary Documentation - FB_ICRC_FLAG0010
Use
When the data is transferred from the original system it is stored separately. This ensures that it is possible to compare the data in the reconciliation system with the data in the operative system.
Dependencies
If you set this flag the original data will also be deleted. In this case it is necessary to start data selection again. If you do not set the flag the original data will remain in the data tables and the data selection does not have to be started again. You have to run the Assign Documents program before you can reconcile the documents.
Example
- You have finished reconciliation for a fiscal year and the books are closed. You do not have to reconcile this data again. In this case you should set the flag Delete Original Data Records to free space on the server.
- There were some problems with the automatic assignment of data records and a lot of records were assigned erroneously. You would like to undo all the assignments for documents from a certain time period. In this case you should not set the flag Delete Original Data Records. After deleting the transactional data check your rules for automatic assignment, run the Assign Documents program and continue with the reconciliation.
Supplementary Documentation - FB_ICRC_FLAG0012
Use
If you set this flag the current differences will be calculated and this snapshot will be stored in the table for difference reporting.
Dependencies
Example
Supplementary Documentation - FB_ICRC_FLAG0020
Use
If you set this flag no data will be changed or posted during the program run. The program will go through all the checks and processing except the parts which are exclusive to an update run. This enables you to determine whether there might be problems with customizing settings etc.
Dependencies
Example
Supplementary Documentation - FB_ICRC_FLAG0030
Use
If you set this flag the selection strategy specified here is only used as a default setting. You can specify for each company whether its data is to be selected in a separate RFC call.
If you do not set this flag the specified selection strategy will be used for all companies included in this reconciliation process.
Dependencies
Example
Supplementary Documentation - FB_ICRC_FLAG0040
Use
If you set this flag the sender ledger specified here is only used as a default setting. You can specify for each company whether its data is to be selected from a different ledger.
If you do not set this flag the specified sender ledger will be used for all companies included in this reconciliation process.
Dependencies
Example
Supplementary Documentation - FB_ICRC_FLAG0050
Use
If you select this indicator, the document number will be converted during the data selection process. Leading zeros will be deleted. This enables you to use a rule comparing the document number to the reference number.
Dependencies
Example
Supplementary Documentation - FB_ICRC_FLAG0060
Use
If you select this indicator, the corresponding field will not be available for input on the selection screen. By doing this, you avoid having to explain this parameter to your users and you make sure that all of them use the same parameter.
If you do not select this indicator, then the value you specify in the corresponding field is used as a default and users can overwrite it.
Dependencies
You can use ADMIN in the command field on the selection screen to activate the parameters temporarily for test or analysis purposes.
Example
Supplementary Documentation - FB_ICRC_FLAG0070
Use
Select this indicator to upload the data from the presentation server. Otherwise, the data is uploaded from the application server.
Dependencies
It is not possible to upload data from the presentation server when the data selection program is scheduled to run in the background.
Example
Supplementary Documentation - FB_ICRC_FLAG0080
Use
Select this indicator if you want to enable users to restrict the data selection program run for specific sequential numbers of a company.
Dependencies
If you select this indicator, users can specify sequential numbers for companies. In this case, they are able to restrict data selection to a specific data source for a company.
Example
Company C1000 has 2 data sources:
Company Sequential Number Data Source
C1000 100 Documents of Current Process
C1000 200 File Upload
If the sequential number cannot be restricted on the selection screen, the data selection program always attempts to select data from both data sources.
In your company you have the data selection process set up in a way that file uploads are supposed to be executed by the responsible accountants. If you do not select this indicator, they cannot restrict data selection only to the file upload.
Supplementary Documentation - FB_ICRC_FLAG0090
Use
If you select this indicator, the display only includes display categories with differences. This improves performance and reduces memory consumption. However, display categories with unassigned data records are not visible.
It is possible that posting errors still exist in display categories without differences. It may just be coincidence that the differences balance to zero.
Depending on the requirements and guidelines within your corporate group, you may have to run the program without selecting this indicator and make sure that all business transactions have been reconciled.
Dependencies
Example
Supplementary Documentation - FB_ICRC_FLAG0100
Use
If you select this indicator, an additional parameter appears on the selection screen for interactive reconciliation. Selecting the parameter improves performance and reduces memory consumption. However, display categories with unassigned data records are not visible.
If your users deal with large volumes of data, you may want to allow reconciliation of differences only. Depending on your requirements, you may want to advise your users to also run the program without this additional option. That way they can see display categories without differences in order to determine whether the difference simply happens to be zero or whether all business transactions between the partners really have been reconciled.
Dependencies
Example
Supplementary Documentation - FB_ICRC_FLAG0110
Use
If you select this indicator, the data assignment program locks each data record individually.
Dependencies
Selecting the indicator produces a high number of entries in the lock table. You may want to use this option in a decentralized organization where several different users may execute data assignment at the same time. In this scenario, selecting the indicator helps avoid users from locking each other out.
Example
Supplementary Documentation - FB_ICRC_FLAG0120
Use
Select this option if you want the contact person data to be transferred as a simple text file using horizontal tabs as a field delimiter. This type of file can be changed using various programs, including simple text editors as well as spreadsheet applications.
Dependencies
Microsoft Excel performs data conversions during import of text files. Mainly, leading spaces and zeros are deleted from the field contents. If you want to change the downloaded data using Microsoft Excel and upload the changed contact data, you may want to consider downloading the data using the option Microsoft Excel XML.
Example
Supplementary Documentation - FB_ICRC_FLAG0130
Use
If you set this flag only the last entry per object group and period will be displayed. This option is useful when you want to analyze the overall development of differences throughout the year.
Dependencies
Example
If you do not set this flag the display contains all snapshots for the selected time period:
Year Period Status Date Currency Amount
2010 011 01 November 2010 EUR 20.000,00
2010 011 15 November 2010 EUR 15.000,00
2010 011 30 November 2010 EUR 10.000,00
2010 012 01 December 2010 EUR 25.000,00
2010 012 15 December 2010 EUR 35.000,00
2010 012 31 December 2010 EUR 15.000,00
If you do set the flag the display only contains the last snapshot per period:
Year Period Status Date Currency Amount
2010 011 30 November 2010 EUR 10.000,00
2010 012 31 December 2010 EUR 15.000,00
Supplementary Documentation - FB_ICRC_FLAG0140
Use
If you set this flag you will see the differences development per object group. Otherwise you will see the development per business relationship.
Dependencies
Example
If you do not set the flag you will see the development per business relationship:
Company Partner Object Group Currency Amount
C1000 C2000 EUR 40.000,00
C1000 C3000 EUR 30.000,00
If you set the flag the development will be shown per object group and business relationship:
Company Partner Object Group Currency Amount
C1000 C2000 Receivables EUR 25.000,00
C1000 C2000 Payables EUR 15.000,00
C1000 C3000 Receivables EUR 10.000,00
C1000 C3000 Payables EUR 20.000,00
