Sort Methods and Adjustment Accounts for Regrouping<br />

Receivables/Payables<br />

Accounting standards define how companies classify and disclose receivables and payables according to<br />

their remaining life. SAP provides the facilities to perform this function in the sort methods and adjustment<br />

accounts for regrouping receivables/payable. The remaining life of AR and AP is defined in the sort method.<br />

For example, AR remaining life is classified as less than one year or more than one year. Payables’ remaining<br />

life is classified as less than one year, 1-5 years, and more than five years.<br />

The settings you define here allow you to classify receivables and payables into periods or years. For<br />

example, receivables/payables due within a year are classified as receivables/payables due within one year.<br />

Likewise, the receivables/payables due after one year, but within five years, are classified as receivables/<br />

payables due between one to five years. Other items due outside these periods are classified as receivables/<br />

payables due after five years. It is important to classify transactions arising from receivables and payables in<br />

the G/L account based on periods to allow proper disclosure in the financial report.<br />
