Summary
Chapter 16 ■ Customizing Special G/L Transactions
This chapter looked at special G/L transactions in detail by comparing special G/L transactions with the
normal G/L transactions. It explained various forms of special G/L transactions covered in SAP ERP, such
as down payments, bills of exchange, and guarantees. You learned about the technical factors they belong
to (noted items, free offsetting entry, and automatic offsetting entry). You also learned how to configure
down payments (down payment made, down payment received, and down payment request) and how
to check the properties of standard down payment settings supplied by SAP to see if they meet your
requirements. You also learned how to define tax clearing accounts for down payments and learned about
the specifications of the accounts special G/L transactions are posted to.
Finally, you learned what a guarantee is. You learned about alternative reconciliation accounts for
customers/vendors and defined accounts for an automatic offsetting entry.
The next chapter explains how to create vendor/customer master records, post invoices and credit
memos, hold and park documents, post incoming and outgoing payments, post down payments, display
balance/line items, print correspondence, execute dunning notices, process manual outgoing payments/
automatic payments, and perform cash journal postings.
