Documentation
Definition
The following processes are available when posting an accrual/deferral:
- Allocation:
- The total amount to be accrued is posted. This posting is also called an opening posting and is usually posted to an accruals account.
- Change of an allocation:
- If the total amount of an accrual/deferral changes later (after the allocation), the difference is posted with this process.
- Periodic clearing:
- The total amount of an accrual/deferral is distributed in accordance with the accrual method over the total time. The partial amounts are posted in the periodic accrual runs. These postings are also called periodic accrual postings and are usually posted from the accrual account to an expense or revenue account.
- Allocation of periodic clearing
- This process is only relevant for special business transactions:
See the following explanation. - Closing:
- If an accrual/deferral is closed prematurely, in other words the total amount to be accrued was not completely distributed, a balancing entry is created for the amount that is not yet distributed (total amount minus all distributions) in a closing entry.
Note:
The postings named above are only executed if the accrual type was defined appropriately in the IMG activity Define Accrual Types.
