Documentation

Definition

Controls under which prerequisites adjustment postings are executed in the general ledger as 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 should be presented unchanged after a posting and its reset (negative posting).

You can define whether the line items in the general ledger are posted negatively or not for the document type for general ledger transfer in posting area 0100. The decision can also be dependent on whether the adjustment posting takes place in the same fiscal year as the posting or in a later fiscal year (aperiodic).

Dependencies

If an adjustment posting is to be posted negatively, this does not apply to the offsetting entry of items that were already executed as a negative posting.

Negative postings are only generated in the company codes for which the indicator Negative Postings Allowed is set in Customizing.

The indicator Negative Postings Allowed must also be set in Customizing for the document type for posting in the general ledger.
