Documentation
Definition
You use the commitment item at this point to define which G/L account is to be used for the document in FI. You can mask this commitment item using "+". "+" stands for a position within the commitment item. If you mask a commitment item, it is not checked in G/L account determination Customizing (FI). Masking saves you from having to define too many entries for G/L account determination in Customizing.
When entering a request, the G/L account definition (FI) takes place. The system tries to determine the corresponding G/L account from the account assignment in the request.
First an attempt is made to find the G/L account (FI) with the commitment item of the request.If the system does not find a G/L account (FI), the G/L account is determined via masking.
With masking the G/L account (FI) of the commitment item is used, which corresponds to the most positions. If a position does not correspond, the masked commitment item is ignored. If several commitment items are found, then the priority determines which commitment item is taken. If several commitment items with different G/L accounts (FI) and the same priority is found, then these commitment items are displayed for the user to choose, when entering the request. The reconciliation of a masking ends as soon as the masked commitment item appears.
Example
Example of masking:
Commitment item 1: ++++4+++++
Commitment item 2: 62004+++++
Commitment item 3: 62004++++6
Commitment item 4: 6+ 0412345
Commitment item from the request: 6200412345
Result of account determination: Commitment item 2 with the G/L account defined (FI).
