3562329 - Negative Posting in Post General Journal Entries and Supplier Invoice Applications

Symptom

  • Lack of negative posting indicator in the Post General Journal Entries application.
  • Error message "Specify positive values only" is received when using negative indicator for debit posting in the "Create Supplier Invoice" (F0859) application.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to application - Post General Journal Entries.
  2. Notice lack of negative posting indicator.

Cause

The "post general journal entries" application does not have the "negative posting" indicator, as it allows negative posting directly (by reversal of the +/- sign in debit/credit value).

In the "Supplier Invoice" application, negative amounts are not allowed, hence the error "Specify positive values only" is received when using negative indicator for debit posting.

Resolution

  • Understand that the "post general journal entries" application allows negative posting directly by reversal of the +/- sign in debit/credit value.
  • Note that the "Supplier Invoice" application does not allow to enter negative amounts. It is correct to receive error "Specify positive values only" when using negative indicator for debit posting. Consider creating a credit memo if negative amounts are required in the "Supplier Invoice" application.
  • Use the "incoming invoices (FB60)" application with the flag Negative Postings.
  • Check results in the Display Journal Entries – In T-Account View ID F3664 application after posting.
