Fill RESBD Structure from EBP Component Structure   General Data in Customer Master  
This documentation is copyright by SAP AG.

In this IMG activity, you define which account assignment characteristics you want to use in an accounting system.

Account assignment characteristics are objects that can be assigned when business transaction is posted. The account assignment characteristics that you define for use in the general ledger are also stored in various processes in General Ledger Accounting.

A distinction is made between the following account assignment characteristics:

• Account assignment characteristics prescribed by SAP

Account assignment characteristics that are absolutely essential for posting a business transaction, such as account, debit/credit indicator, are stored by the system automatically in an accounting system. Accordingly, you do not have to specify these account assignment characteristics in this IMG activity.

• Additional account assignments

If you want to store any additional account assignment characteristics in your accounting system, such as profit center, you have to specify these in this IMG activity.

Before you can define the account assignment characteristics for an accounting system, you must have already performed the following IMG activities.

• You must have already defined the accounting system. You can find the IMG activity under Settings -> Accounting System -> Define Accounting System.

• You must have already registered the account assignment characteristics - that you want to store as additional account assignments in an accounting system - at the data basis level. You can find the IMG activity under Settings -> Data Basis -> Register Key Figures and Characteristics in the Data Basis.

To add an account assignment characteristic to an accounting system, proceed as follows:

1. In the Account Assignment field, enter the technical name of the account assignment characteristic.
2. You can decide whether or not the account assignment characteristic is a GL field, meaning (in the affirmative) that the account assignment characteristic can be entered when posting.
3. You can decide whether or not a zero balance is to be generated for the account assignment characteristic when a document is posted. To do so, set the zero balance flag.

To generate a zero balance, the system generates extra clearing lines in the document.

1. You can define a partner field for the account assignment characteristic. Partner fields are required in certain components, such as Consolidation.
2. In the GL Rep. Field flag, you can define that the account assignment characteristic is also stored in the totals records in the general ledger. This allows you, for example, to navigate from a balance sheet report to a detail view for the account assignment characteristic cost center.

Note

If you have already set the GL field, you do not have to set the GL Rep field flag. A field that is relevant for the general ledger will be stored in the totals records in the general ledger automatically. You should only set this flag if the account assignment characteristic is not flagged as relevant for the general ledger.

1. Save your settings.
