Chapter 14 ■ Defining FI Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable<br />

In this exercise, you will define settings that allow you to sort receivables and payables items into<br />

periods.<br />

Problem: Company C900’s accounting staff wants to be able to classify receivables and<br />

payables in the G/L accounts in periods for proper disclosure in the financial statement.<br />

Your task as FI consultant is to define sort method and adjustment accounts for regrouping<br />

receivables and payables for receivables/payables due within one year and receivables/<br />

payables due after one year.<br />

Define Sort Methods<br />

To define sort methods for receivables, follow this menu path: IMG: Financial Accounting (New) ➤ General<br />

Ledger Accounting (New) ➤ Periodic Processing ➤ Reclassify ➤ Transfer and Sort Receivables and Payables<br />

➤ Define Sort Method and Adjustment Accts for Regrouping Receivables/Payables. Or use transaction code<br />

OBBU.<br />

The Change View “Sort Methods”: Overview screen is displayed. This is where you start customizing.<br />

your receivables/payables periodic interval (Figure 14-32).<br />

Figure 14-32. The initial periodic interval screen<br />

Double-click the Receivables folder. In the Interval field, enter C900, and in the Description field, enter<br />

Receivables/Payables Regroup.<br />

■■Note<br />

We recommend that you use company code as the sort methods interval in this exercise, because<br />

this will enable you to trace your sort method to your company code. This is important, especially when you<br />

have more than one company code.<br />

Save<br />

your configuration.<br />

Period Intervals for Receivables<br />

The next step is to create the periodic intervals for receivables due within one year and receivables due after<br />

one year. To create the periodic intervals for recevables, select the periodic interval (C900) that you defined<br />

earlier. Since you are sorting receivables in this exercise, double-click the<br />

folder from left pane<br />

of the screen. The Change View “Receivables”: Overview screen is displayed. Click the<br />

button<br />

to go to the New Entries: Overview of Added Entries screen to create the periodi intervals for receivables<br />

(Figure 14-33).<br />
