Documentation

Definition

Together with the negative posting checkbox, determines how differences resulting from retroactive accounting are posted in financial accounting.

Use

If you choose the Negative Posting check box, you can use the Negative Posting Debit check box to make the system post differences resulting from retroactive accounting as negative postings on the debit side of an account.

If you do not choose the Negative Posting - Debit checkbox, the system posts the differences as negative postings on the credit side.

Procedure

To activate differences from retroactive accounting as negative postings on the debit side, choose the Negative Posting - Debit checkbox in Customizing for symbolic accounts.

Example

You are posting a payment in the monthly wage wage type (M010) as a debit in the Salary Costs account (symbolic account 3332) and as a credit in the Salary Adjustments account (symbolic account 3370). If you want to make retroactive changes that cause a decrease in salary, you must also decrease the overall amounts on the relevant account sides.

To decrease the amounts correctly, choose the Negative Posting checkbox as well as the Negative Posting - Credit check box in symbolic account 3370, or choose just the Negative Posting checkbox in symbolic account 3332.
