Chapter 9 ■ Defining the House Bank
When customizing check deposits, the following steps are involved:
1. Define posting keys and posting rules for check deposits.
2. Create and assign business transactions.
3. Define variants for check deposits.
■■Note
The reason you define posting keys and posting rules for check deposits before you create and assign
business transactions to posting rules is that the accounting symbols needed to specify business transactions
are defined in posting keys and posting rules for check deposit customizing.
Define Posting Keys and Posting Rules for Check Deposits
You will go through the following four steps as part of this activity:
1. Create account symbols.
2. Assign accounts to an account symbol.
3. Create keys for posting rules.
4. Define posting rules.
To customize these options, follow this menu path: IMG: Financial Accounting (New) ➤ Bank
Accounting ➤ Business Transactions ➤ Check Deposit ➤ Define Posting Keys and Posting Rules for Check
Deposit.
The Determine Work Area Entry dialog box is displayed. Enter your chart of accounts in the Chart of
Accounts field and click the Enter button. The Change View: “Create Account Symbols”: Overview screen
is displayed. This is where you will customize the settings. You will work through the displayed nodes on the
left side of the screen using a top-down approach from Steps 1 to 4 to avoid missing anything.
Create Account Symbols
Account symbols are useful for grouping similar business transactions such as check receipts/deposits
together and they determine which accounts transactions are posted based on the criteria you specify in
your house bank.
On the Change View: “Create Account Symbols” Overview screen, notice that a list of nodes is displayed
on the left side of the screen and that the Create Account Symbols yellow folder is open. This indicates the
item you want to customize.
■■Tip
Make sure that the folder of the item you are customizing is open. If that folder is not open,
double-click on it to open it.
