Jill is aware that most of the G/L postings will be generated automatically in SAP. However, if a reclassification or a non-automated journal entry is required, she will review the key elements and the steps needed to post a manual journal entry.
She is excited about how the entry of a G/L document posting works exactly, and then she likes to do her first document entry.
You can easily create and post a G/L account document using the Fiori app Post General Journal Entries.
Journal Entry Date and Posting Date are required information.
FI Documents are posted on Company Code level.
The G/L accounts used have to be part of the Chart of Accounts, which is assigned to the used Company Code.
The total of Debit postings has to be equal the total of Credit postings.
Here are two examples of posting a G/L document. The first one is a simple one. The second posting includes tax.
And here the second example is coming: Posting with tax.
Let’s see what Jill thinks about that:
"That's great! Now I’m well prepared for posting my first G/L document."
This is perfect. Here comes the exercise.
Two general journal entries have to be posted to company code 1010. The first posting is the entry of a cash receipt on a bank account. The second journal entry is the cash payment of a car purchase. This posting is made taking tax into account.
