Definition

The system distinguishes between postings according to posting levels.

There are thus four levels of posting:

  • Standardizing entries have posting level 1 and are company-specific.
  • When a consolidation posting takes place between two affiliate companies, two companies will always be involved in the account assignment transaction. This posting type, also described as <GL: eliminating entry>eliminating entries then has the level 2. This includes, for example, the postings for <GL:elimination of intercomany payables and receivables>eliminating intercompany payables and receivables.
  • Posting level 3 is used for postings that are valid only within one subgroup. These are <GL:consolidating entries>consolidating entries affecting one or more of the companies in a subgroup.
  • The postings on level 4 are consistent with those at level 3, except for one significant difference: the additional trading partner assignment. These are also consolidating entries, except that the trading partners concerned do not belong to the subgroup. One example would be a reclassification of receivables against affiliates into receivables against third parties. You could thus ensure that only those amounts that are assigned to third parties would be reclassified.
