To post special gl transaction, why the normal posting key cannot be used? i mean the range of debit and credit posting key for vendor and customer.

in fbkp, it is set to debit and credit to use what code and i see there is dedicated posting key meant for special gl posting.

why normal posting key for vendor and customer cannot be used?

Hi,

If you use same posting key for debiting or crediting the vendor then system will always prompt to mention special gl indicator in that case. Then, you cannot post an entry without special GL Indicator.

Therefore, it is always recommended to use standard GL Debit Key i.e 29 and Credit Key 39 for Special GL indicator cases.

Let me know if you need any more help

Hi,

While defining the posting keys to special gl indicator we'll define the following as well.

1. Whether this gl indicator is related to noted items or not

2. Transactions related to this indicator should consider for credit limit check or not.

3. Commitment warnings-If you posted any down payments to particular vendor, system prompts when this advance amount when you post the invoice to this vendor.

4. Special GL transactions type Down payment/Others/BOE.

The above settings also consider for special gl indicator.

And finally SAP delivered this posting keys especially for special gl items as standard.

Hi,

By using SPL GL key, then system can understand how this has to be processed.

Because as you are aware the process for Normal and Special Gl transactions is different
