Documentation
Definition
Groups together account posting items that belong directly together. The item group number is always the same as the smallest item number in the group.
Procedure
- In manual collective entry, each row of the table corresponds to exactly one item group. In Customizing for Account Posting Types you set the business scenarios for which only postings are created, and for which transfer postings are created.
- Postings belonging to one item group can only be reversed all together, since they are seen as one logical unit.
- An item group is always contained in one document. If a transfer posting is entered in two steps (first step credit partner A , second step debit partner B), this results in two separate account postings that can also be reversed separately.
Examples
Business partner A sends an item of returnable packaging to business partner B. You manage returnable packaging accounts for both partners, and want to credit partner A and debit partner B.
To do this, you manually enter a transfer posting (3-way circulation) with sender A, recipient B and your plant 0001 as settlement partner.
INternally, two accounts are posted for this transaction:
- Account 1 is determined by location 0100 and exchange partner A . Partner A is credited on this account.
- Account 2 is determined by location 0100 and exchange partner B. Partner B is debited on this account.
Since these two items belong directly together, they are stored as one item group. The system uses the item number of the first item as the item group number.
