Procurement/Postings/Posting runs or

Finance/Postings/Procurement postings

we get to the periodic posting runs, which are part of the closing activities.

The system of posting runs allows you to structure the transfer of all transactions for your financial accounting, then managed by value in the corresponding accounts on the posting date. The posting runs thus take over the posting dates and can support periodic closing.

To do this, please select the relevant period and start the posting run. In this way, we collect all movements together and allocate them to the corresponding accounts.

Dimensions can be transferred and posted, if available, or extended or changed by selecting the Manuel posting number.

You can view a selected posting run to get an overview of the assigned goods movements and the postings calculated from the procurement.

You can also post the selected posting run directly to transfer the pre-assigned movements to your financial accounting.

Another action button gives you the option of deleting or cancelling a posting run.

All stock movements, i.e. all receipts and issues, are recorded in the stock journal with the posting date. The posting date helps to define which postings are to be transferred to financial accounting and when. It is generally advisable to transfer all movements from the stock journal to financial accounting by the month-end closing at the latest.

Other periods are possible.

The delimitation must be set correctly and should be used over the period to ensure that we transfer data to financial accounting in a clean and orderly cumulative manner.

With Post we transfer the data record to financial accounting

Posting record contains the following information.

This ensures that all postings are always transferred, neatly summarised according to the accounts stored for the individual products or product groups.

Note: We recommend including this routine in your current month-end or quarter-end closing process. This ensures that the postings are transferred to your financial accounting in the appropriate consolidation; please define the appropriate key date carefully.

If you require a different presentation here, we can generate posting lines by document type and thus create your own posting runs per event/document type such as

Inventory

Goods receipt

Goods issue

generate.

This is done with the posting accounts originally stored in the material group or product.

It is then possible to intervene here if, for example, you want to manage the issue from stocktaking in a different account to the regular goods receipts and issues.

The manual setting of a different account for an individual line of the journal is primarily used to flexibly integrate goods movements.

This allows us to gradually increase transparency without changing the main process.
