Documentation
Definition
Controls under which prerequisites documents that are posted with the relevant document type trigger negative postings.
Use
Negative postings decrease the transaction figures updated to an account. Therefore, a debit posting that is carried out negatively does not increase the value on the debit side of the account. Instead it decreases the value on the credit side and vice versa.
Negative postings are used if the transaction figures in the account concerned are to be presented unchanged after a posting and its reset (negative posting).
Negative postings are useful during the following business transactions: Reversal, clearing reset, and returns. In addition to that, individual business transactions can also be posted negatively. Thus you can post a credit memo if the reversal is no longer possible.
The document type used decides whether the line items are posted negatively or not. For reversals, clearing resets, and returns, the decision can also made dependent on whether the reset takes place in the same fiscal year as the posting or in a later fiscal year (aperiodic).
Dependencies
If a reversal is to be posted negatively in accordance with the document type, this does not apply to the items for which the G/L account is swapped in the reversal document. This can occur with aperiodic reversal or back posting incoming payments to the clarification account.
If a return is to be posted negatively in accordance with the document type, this does not apply to the settlement account for returns or to line items that are created in addition in the returns document (for example, bank charges, expenses, tax on these amounts).
If a clearing reset is to be posted negatively then this has the effect that:
- The items that are inserted in the former clearing document as replacement for the missing clearing items are cleared negatively by the reset document
- The automatic posting items in the reset document that should neutralize the appropriate postings of the clearing document are posted negatively (for example, cash discount, exchange rate differences, withholding tax, tax adjustments to cash discount)
For all named cases, negative postings are only created in the company codes for which the indicator Negative Postings Allowed is set in Customizing.
If an item transfer (transfer posting to other business partner, other contract account, or other contract) is to be posted negatively in accordance with the document type, the selected open items are cleared negatively. However, the new open items are not posted negatively.
If the document type is set up so that aperiodic postings are not to be posted negatively, the posting date of the transfer is compared with the posting date of the open item to be transferred. The clearing only takes place as a negative posting if they are both in the same fiscal year.
