Chapter 16 ■ Customizing Special G/L Transactions
By defining accounts for automatic offsetting entries, you are simply specifying the G/L accounts that
the system will post the offsetting entry to for special G/L transactions. These are based on account type,
special G/L indicator, chart of accounts and reconciliation accounts. Follow this menu path: IMG: Financial
Accounting (New) ➤ Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ➤ Business Transactions ➤ Postings with
Alternative Reconciliation Account ➤ Other Special G/L Transactions ➤ Define Accounts for Automatic
Offsetting Entry. Or use transaction code OBXS.
The Enter Your Chart of Accounts dialog box pops up. Enter your chart of accounts ID in the Chart of
Accounts field. Confirm your entry by clicking the Enter button to proceed to the Configuration Accounting
Maintain: Automatic Posts – Rules screen. Click the Account Type/Special G/L Indicator checkbox. This setting
allows the system to automatically post special G/L transactions to the appropriate special G/L accounts.
When you click the Save button at the top of the screen, the Configuration Accounting Maintain: Automatic
Posts – Accounts screen appears. This is where you assign the G/L accounts for the automatic offsetting postings.
