Functionality
You can use this method to validate business transactions in Accountingwhich mainly affect the general ledger and are definitely not updatedin subledgers which are relevant to the balance sheet.
An example of this is a provision posting for an expected guaranteeservice.
This can be produce debit or credit entries to balances which are notmanaged in one of the subledgers relevant to the balance sheet. This isespecially applicable if the balances cannot be represented as assets,customers/vendors, materials, loans, etc.
An example of this is a provision posting for an expected guarantee.However, this can also involve depreciation or write-ups in whichvalues have a higher level of summarization than in the correspondingsubledger relevant to the balance sheet in which they are managed.
An example of this is foreign currency revaluation for receivables/payables caused by considerable exchange rate fluctuations which is notupdated in accounts payable or accounts receivable.
A similar transaction may come about when revaluating balances for rawmaterials if the revaluation takes place at a corresponding level ofsummarization.
The third cateogry is the reclassification of items to balance sheetaccounts or income statement accounts, which is only undertaken in thegeneral ledger in order to balance accounts (values are then finallyreassigned to financial statement items).
Example: Reclassifying balances of receivables with different returntimes for the balance sheet.
Restrictions:
This object cannot be used to update business transactions which arenormally posted to one of the subledgers which affects the balancesheet (such as a billing document; for this see the business objectAcctngBilling).
This is especially applicable if the reason the relevant subledgercannot be updated is because it is an external system or is not in use.
