special gl posting key

[Former Member]

Dear Forum,

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?

thanks

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
