Referenced Business Processes

PurposeIn this section of the document you find some business processes which are often repeated. So the business process is described once in the section reference business processes. Later we refer to this reference business process. The chapter reference business process provides the description of the business process. Later you find the business process described and the entry data you need for testing.

Do not test the reference business processes described in this chapter! Starting with chapter General Business Process you find the BPP you have to test and the relevant entry data.

PrerequisitesYou need to install the building block N70. Create manually or by eCATTs some accounts payable and accounts receivable.

For the business process procedure General Ledger no reference business process exists.

Posting a Customer Invoice

PrerequisiteThe customer master records have been maintained. One of our customers has granted us automatic debit authorization, and one pays us by bank direct debit.

ProcedureTo post an invoice, use the “Accounts Receivable Accounting: Posting Invoices” business process procedure.

You will now post an invoice for each of the customers.

6. To check the document before it is posted, choose Simulate (F9).

This enables you to display the document, including the tax on sales/purchases to be posted, and to correct it if necessary.

7. Choose Post (Ctrl+S).

In the lower area of the screen, the system generates the message: Document 18000000xx was posted in company code BP01, where xx is the sequential document number posted by the system.

Manual Bank Statement

UseThe bank credits the automatic debit and the bank direct debit to your account.

For a detailed description of this procedure, refer to the “Manual Account Statement” business process procedure. This document describes the procedure for a check credit memo through the bank. The procedure for the bank direct debit / automatic debit will now be described here.

Entering and Posting a Manual Account Statement

ProcedureThe following example shows you how to post an incoming check.

When you call up the transaction for the first time, the Specifications dialog box appears for you to make the following entries.

Field name User action and values Remarks

You can also display this dialog box by choosing Settings Specifications. Please check if the following data is entered.

1. Access the transaction choosing one of the following navigation options:

Menu path Accounting Financial Accounting Banks Input Bank Statement Manual Entry

2. On the Process Manual Bank Statement screen, make the following entries:

Field name User action and values Remarks

Company Code

BP01

Field name User action and values Remarks

create a new statement. In this way, the statement number, statement date, and beginning balance are set automatically.

Statement Date

Statement date (TODAY)

Beginning Balance

Beginning balance = ending balance of the previous statement

Ending Balance

Beginning balance + EUR XXX

The bank credits EUR XXX to your account.

Choose Enter to confirm your entries.

3. On the Process Manual Bank Statement screen, make the following entries:

Field name User action and values Remarks

Transaction 002+

Value Date Value date of the item

e.g. today

Amount

Bank Reference

Do not enter anything in this field because the bank does not provide any references.

Pushbutton Save The account statement is included in the system when you choose Save, but is not yet posted. You can still change the account statement or add new items to it.

Pushbutton Post The statement is posted online (in the background).

Transaction 002+ is for ‘Check deposit’ and contains the posting logic for the document to be posted. In this case, the document is posted:

From the bank to bank subaccount 280008 without clearing.

ResultOnce you have posted the account statement, the system displays the posting statistics. These enable you to see how many FB01 postings (post without clearing) have been carried out with and without errors. This also applies to FB05 postings (post with clearing). In our example, one FB01 posting has been carried out.

Postprocessing an Account Statement

UseEvery time you post a manual account statement, you should postprocess it because the system cannot always clear all the items automatically. This is particularly important if the customer has not paid the total amount or has quoted the wrong reference. In this particular case, no clearing posting is carried out and, consequently, postprocessing is necessary.

Double-click the statement and then the item. Choose Specifications Change Method to change the posting method. Choose Display all screens. The posting method is described in the following note.

© SAP AG Page 9 of 26

Page 10: Cash Journal

SAP Best Practices Cash Journal: BPP

There are several options available for selecting the account statements to be displayed. You can display statements that have a particular statement status. There are three different statuses: all line items, only line items incompletely posted, and only line items completely posted.

The posting methods Display incorrect screens, Display all screens, Do not display screens specify whether all the screens, only incorrect screens, or no screens are displayed during postprocessing. The Display all screens method can be chosen for test and training purposes. Otherwise, you should choose the Display incorrect screens method.

You should always check G/L accounting and subledger accounting, since both types of accounting might contain postings that have not been carried out.

ResultThe statement status has not changed because it was already green for both G/L accounting and subledger accounting before you postprocessed it.

Cash Journal Postings

PurposeYou can use the cash journal to manage cash transactions in your company. You can post cash receipts and cash payments, print receipts, and print out a cash journal. The cash journal in the R/3 System is a subsidiary ledger, which contains documents that are transferred from the cash journal to the general ledger in SAP FI. A cash journal is kept in one currency.

Cash Journal Description Currency

The cash journal does not include functions for accepting and depositing checks.

Each cash journal is assigned a G/L account to which the documents in the general ledger are posted.
