Documentation

Use

If a debit/credit sign is entered, reclassification is only performed if the value of the triggering FS item (or item set) matches this sign.

However, note that the reclassification logic being applied here differs from that of standard reclassifications: The value of the triggering FS item is not reclassified. Instead, the value of the "From" item is (a) cleared using a reversed sign against the "From" item, and (b) reclassified to the "To" item.

Procedure

Enter the applicable debit/credit sign if you want to perform a sign-triggered reclassification as opposed to a standard reclassification.

Examples

• You might define that the value of an FS item is to be reclassified to another FS item whenever the sign of the value switches from "+" to "-".
• You might define that receivables and payables are to be cleared against each other. Depending on its sign, the balance would be reclassified to either the receivables or the payables item. In this case, you would need two reclassification rules for the "-" sign and the "+" sign.
