Hello Alex,

Just a quick work from my side. Some of them are self explantory. So I have not added any details.

But as far as I know there is no document in SAP Help which describes each journal entry type.

Hope this will help. 🙂 May be some one else can correct / Add additional details. 🙂

Update :

- Unfortunately, Copy paste did not work. Neither, it is allowing me to update excel or xml.

So I have attached converted text file. Hope it can still be read and helps you.

Thank you Harshal for taking time and respond to my question.

For a general understanding of this topic, an end-user should be able to understand what all these types mean; however, for auditors, they should have documentation out of SAP that would formally explain what these Journal types mean. We are a publicly-traded company and the auditing process is more particular and a general explanation is not sufficient for them.

SOX and Audit controls are not the fields SAP ByD should be proud of.
