Chapter 14 ■ Defining FI Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable
Define Accounts for Payment Differences (Manual
Outgoing Payments)
Payment differences are posted to a special account in SAP ERP. In this exercise, you assign payment
differences by reason to your G/L account so that the system can automatically post payment differences
to that G/L account. To assign your account follow this menu path: IMG: Financial Accounting (New)
➤ Account Receivable and Accounts Payable ➤ Business Transaction ➤ Outgoing Payments ➤ Manual
Outgoing Payments ➤ Overpayment/Underpayment ➤ Define Accounts for Payment Differences (Manual
Outgoing Payment). Or use transaction code OBXL.
■■Note
you have already created the G/L account (Unallowed Customer Discounts 881000) required for this
configuration in a previous exercise. So you don’t need to define it again; all you need to do is simply assign it
to the payment differences.
The Enter Chart of Accounts dialog box pops up. Enter your chart of account code (CA90) in the Chart
of Accounts field and click the Enter button on the bottom-right side of the dialog box. The Configuration
Accounting Maintain: Automatic Posts - Accounts screen is displayed. Enter the appropriate G/L account for
payment differences in the Account field (Figure 14-21).

Finally, in the accounts receivable and accounts payable configuration, you will customize automatic
outgoing payments, which consists of several steps. You will go through these steps using a top-down
approach, starting with the top item and working to the bottom.
