Use account determination

Use account determination

Account determination connects partner and item characteristics with the general ledger account and tax code - so that operational documents automatically arrive correctly in financial accounting.

Why this point is crucial for key users

This is where a key user's greatest leverage becomes apparent: a single, well-thought-out rule saves hundreds of manual account assignment decisions and at the same time makes postings more uniform.

How to prepare for the process safely

1. Structure partners by role and collection account.
2. Structure items according to revenue or expense logic.
3. Define item and partner finance group combinations with account and tax code.
4. Test typical and different documents until the posting is completed.

Check before sharing

• Every productive combination has a unique rule.
• Standard groups only apply where they really fit from a technical point of view.
• General ledger account, tax and open items correspond to the expected result.

What your team gets out of it
