Special GL indicator for retention process

[Nitinshetty]

Hello experts,

I want to assign different special GL indicator for supplier's security deposit and retention procedures. For security deposit we have 'H' as special GL indicator but for retention there is no special GL indicator. In S4Hana public cloud as we cannot create any new special GL indictor. Kindly suggest how to resolve this.

Hi Nitin,

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition has a way to manage Supplier retentions through the following steps:

• Create the Purchase order (PO) and select the retention type in the Payment Processing tab in the header. After doing this then you can see the retention percentage in the line item detail in the Invoice Tab.
• After the PO has been created then do the Goods Receipt (If applicable)
• Then create the invoice for the PO. Make sure you add the “Retention due” date. When you do this you’ll get the warning message about the retention amount. If you haven’t configured the account you’ll need to create the account determination.

Please see the screenshots with the key steps/fields representing the process below.

If this doesn’t support what you’re expecting please feel free to add more details so the community can continue trying to help.

Hi Ernesto, I have configured the retention process and create the account determination (for spcl GL indicator H specified GL to hit retention amount) and it's working fine. Can you please guide for Security deposit which spcl GL to be used or if you have any document regarding security deposit (with vendor) process it will be helpful. Thank you.
