Definition

Specifies that amounts are to be added and posted (such as postal charges) rather than quantities such as number of bank transfers.

Notes

  • If you set this indicator, you cannot define a charge amount for your condition.
  • You can only set this indicator if the specified counter is an external counter, which means that the data is not managed in your application, for example, SAP Account Management. When you define the counter in Customizing for your application, you also need to select the checkbox for amount counters. Example: in the Customizing activity Account Management -> Item Management -> Counters -> Define Counter Types.
  • You use the method Edit Payment Transaction Counter and Transaction Counter (BAPI_BCA_COUNTER_CHANGE) to transfer the amounts of the external counter to SAP Account Management.

Example

You cannot specify shipping costs (or postage) using an item counter, because the price per shipment can vary. As the sending of correspondence does not trigger a transaction in Account Management, it is not possible to manage and process these charges there. Therefore, you must use your own counters outside of the SAP system and then transfer the relevant data into the system.
