  • Journal Entry - Post (Synchronous) (JournalEntryCreateRequestConfirmation_In)

  • Journal Entry - Post (Asynchronous) (JournalEntryBulkCreationRequest_In)

  • Journal Entry by Ledger - Post (Asynchronous) (JournalEntryBulkLedgerCreationRequest_In)

• If the payload isn't maintained correctly according to the required format and configuration activities, an error regarding negative posting will occur. This error will prevent posting until the payload is corrected. Additionally, you may need to adjust the configuration activity if negative postings are necessary.
  
  
• From Release 2602.2, you can deactivate the feature Enable negative posting check for Posting APIs (FI_POSTING_API_NG) in the configuration activity Activate Features until SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2702.
