3487300 - Alternative Reconciliation Account Determination in SD - S/4HANA Cloud

Symptom

There is a business need to define different calculation schemes for creditors and customers for each billing document type.

In addition to standard reconciliation account determination, an alternative reconciliation account determination in Sales and Distribution (SD) can be used to determine a reconciliation account in agency documents that differs from the company code master data. The account determination procedure determines the condition types that the system uses for the billing document type to determine the reconciliation account.

After defining an account determination procedure for the creditor and the vendor in the billing document type, a reconciliation account can be used that is different from the account specified in the customer or vendor master record for postings to Financial Accounting.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Resolution

Determination of G/L accounts for reconciliation and cash settlement functionality is enabled via the Flexible Billing Document Posting configuration. With flexible billing document posting, a configuration expert can define rules to dynamically control specific aspects of the system's behavior when billing documents are posted to financial accounting.

Usage Task: DET_RECACC_CSHSET can dynamically select the account determination procedure that the system applies to determine the G/L reconciliation account or G/L cash settlement account to which the billing document is posted.

Please note that:

  • When an account determination procedure for reconciliation accounts is found by the decision table, it overrides the account determination procedure for reconciliation accounts stored in the relevant customer master record.

  • In each decision table row, only one determination procedure for reconciliation accounts or one determination procedure for cash settlement accounts can be maintained, but not both.
