Hello
Guarantees made are shown in the notes to the balance sheet. Guarantees received, however, are not displayed on the balance sheet. Nevertheless, it is a good idea for internal purposes to have an overview of the guarantees that you have received. In the SAP system, therefore, you can manage guarantees made and received separately from other business transactions - as special G/L transactions
Go to FBKP, choose special GL transactions and choose the gurantee SGL indicator and assign GL accounts in the properties.
In the Financial Accounting application component, you use a special function to post guarantees. When you enter a guarantee, you merely enter the account assignments for posting to the customer or vendor account. The offsetting entry is always made to the same offsetting account, a clearing account. This is carried out by the system.
This guarantee is posted to the following accounts:
1. You post a guarantee made to your customer’s account.
2. The system makes the offsetting entry automatically to a clearing account.
Transactions where the system always makes offsetting entries automatically to the same account are called statistical postings, since they are generally not displayed on the balance sheet or only in the appendix. For example, guarantees received are not displayed while guarantees made are displayed in the appendix of the balance sheet because of the liability to recourse
Suggest to create seperate GL account for guarantee, which is unique.
