3685101 - How to summarize line items for POS (Point of Sale)

Symptom

When POS (Point of Sale) transactions are sent to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, billing documents are generated for sales revenue postings. The related accounting document is currently summarized at the article level, so if there are 300 different articles in the billing document, the G/L account related will have 300 separate line items in the corresponding accounting document, which leads to a very large volume of data.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Resolution

In order to solve this issue, activate Entry View Summarization in the Configuration Activity 500242 Activate Entry View Summarization.

Let's assume that an invoice is sent out to a customer ANY_CUSTOMER containing three products: A, B, and C. The full-detail ledger view of the resulting journal entry would look as follows:
G/L AccountCustomerArticleAmount

140000 (AR domestic)

ANY_CUSTOMER

 

USD 1000,- (Debit)

175000 (Output tax)

  

USD -200,- (Credit)

800000 (Sales domestic)

 

A

USD -300,- (Credit)

800000 (Sales domestic)

 

B

USD -400,- (Credit)

800000 (Sales domestic)

 

C

USD -100,- (Credit)

 
If you switch on maximum summarization, the system removes the product information from the three revenue items and displays the entry view as follows:
G/L AccountCustomerArticleAmount

140000 (AR domestic)

ANY_CUSTOMER

 

USD 1000,- (Debit)

175000 (Output tax)

  

USD -200,- (Credit)

800000 (Sales domestic)

  

USD -800,- (Credit)
