Documentation
Definition
An accounting community delimits a part of the real world for which business transactions can be logged in the system.
An accounting community can contain one or more users.
Examples:
- Entire company / group of companies
- All German companies
- All French companies
- Major project XY
- Company A
- Company code A
- All company codes from A to Z.
Note:
The creation of an accounting community is a prerequisite for defining a valuation system. The rules for depicting and valuating a valuation system are always dependent on exactly one accounting community.
The business transaction in an accounting community generate separate data in the system. Several depiction rules can be supported in parallel in one accounting community that contains various valuation systems.
From a technical point of view, an accounting community is a group of characteristic attributes. One characteristic name (such as legal entity, company code) can currently be chosen for each accounting community. The member list is created on the basis of this.
For the accounting community "All German companies" with the characteristic "legal entity", for example, you can create the member list "Legal Entity = A, Legal Entity = B, Legal Entity = C", while for community "Major project XY" with the characteristic "Project number", the member list "Project number = 4711" can be created.
By defining of the member list, an internal and external relationship is defined for logging in the system. Business transactions between members of an accounting community are depicted as an internal relationship (this can, for example, mean the creation of clearing line), while business transactions between members and non-members are depicted as an external relationship (no clearing lines are created).
