Definition

Indicator that identifies a special G/L transaction

Use

For special G/L transactions a reconciliation account is posted instead of the normal receivables or payables account. Down payments are one of the things that are created in payment transfers in the component Funds Management Government. Down payments are represented by a special G/L transaction in the component FI.

You can use the special G/L indicator A that is delivered in the standard system for the activity "Transfer Posting". You can also define an individual special G/L indicator for transfer posting.

SAP recommends that you define an individual special G/L transaction for the activity Reimboursement. The special G/L transaction takes part in the automated payment using the payment program.

Dependencies

You have to define individual special G/L transactions in Financial Accounting Customizing. Select the following in Financial Accounting Customizing:

  • For down payments on the debit side
    Accounts Payable and Receivable Accounting -> Business Transactions
    -> Received Down Payments -> Define Reconciliation Accounts for Down Payments on the Debit Side
    .
  • For down payments on the credit side
    Accounts Payable and Receivable Accounting -> Business Transactions Down Payments Made -> Define Different Reconciliation Account for Down Payments.
