Documentation
Definition
This indicator determines whether the totals records in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable can be updated asynchronously for mass postings (such as document transfer, payment run, payment lot).
Use
The totals records form the basis for updating G/L accounting. The advantage of using an asynchronous update is that the system performance is better.
However, if you are updating asynchronously for mass postings and a system termination occurs, the data that arises may be inconsitent. The posting totals produced may be incomplete.
In this case, the reconciliation key concerned is marked accordingly. Before the transfer to the general ledger however, you have to manually close the reconciliation key and then correct the totals records using reports RFKKABS1 ad RFKKABS2.
Procedure
Only set the indicator for asynchronous updating if you have performance problems when creating documents during mass processing. In this case, check whether performance actually does improve after setting the indicator.
If however, the affect on performance is only minor, then deselect this indicator and use sychronous updating.
