Answer 1

Hi,
You use this function to manually pass on receivables that are not automatically covered by the conditions entered in the contract, but that are to be assigned to the customer (tenant). You assign invoice amounts directly to the individual contracts; these are debited to the customer. You can post credit memos in the same way.
Take a look on principals fields:
Document Date in Document                                                                               
The document date is the date on which the original document was issued.
Document type                                                                               
The document type classifies accounting documents.                     
     It is noted in the document header.                                                                               
Attributes that control the entry of the document or which are         
     themselves stored in the document are stipulated for each document type.
     In particular, the number range assigned to the relevant documents is  
     determined on the basis of the document type.                          
Company Code                                                                               
The company code is an organizational unit within financial accounting.                                                                               
Posting Date in the Document                                                                               
Date which is used when entering the document in Financial Accounting or 
    Controlling.                                                             
Fiscal period                                                                               
Account transaction figures are updated per period within the fiscal   
    year. A maximum of 16 periods can be updated. You define how a fiscal  
    year is divided into periods per company code.                                                                               
You might choose, for example, to divide your fiscal year into 12      
    periods (per calendar month) or 13 periods (every four weeks).                                                                               
If you define fewer than 16 periods, the remaining periods (for example,
    13-16 or 14-16) can be used as special periods.                                                                               
In the case of accounting documents, the period to be updated is either
    taken from the posting date or, if a special period is to be updated   
    instead of the last period of a fiscal year, entered manually.         
Currency Key                                                                               
Currency key for amounts in the system.
Exchange rate                                                                               
Tax amounts are usually converted using the exchange rate defined by the
    tax base amounts. If you wish to enter an alternative exchange rate, or
    have the system defualt an alternative exchange rate, you make the     
    setting here. As a result of the alternative exchange rate, the document
    now contains a balance in local currency, which is posted to a separate
    account by means of an automatically generated line item.                                                                               
Translation date                                                                               
Translation date for determining the exchange rate which is to be used  
     for translation. The exchange rates are stored in the system.           
Reference Document Number                                                                               
The reference document number can contain the document number of the
    customer/vendor. However it may contain a different value.                                                                               
Number of Cross-Company Code Posting Transaction                                                                               
In cross-company code document entry, several documents are created in
     different company codes. A common transaction number indicates that the
     documents belong together logically. The transaction number can be    
     assigned by the system or manually. The system creates the number from
     the document number, company code and fiscal year.                    
Document Header Text                                                                               
The document header text contains explanations or notes which apply to
    the document as a whole, that is, not only for certain line items.    
Trading partner's business area                                                                               
This field contains the business area of the trading partner. Together 
    with the business area to which the posting is made, there is a        
    sender/receiver relationship in each line item.                                                                               
This relationship enables the elimination of IC sales at business area 
    level within business area consolidation.                              
Posting Key for the Next Line Item                                                                               
In this field, the posting key with which the next document line item
    should be entered, is specified.                                     
Account or Matchcode for the Next Line Item                                                                               
Account which is to be posted to with the next line item. You can enter
    a matchcode instead of the account number.                                                                               
For postings integrated with Asset Accounting (posting key 70 or   
    75), you should enter the asset number here. Separate the main     
    number and the subnumber with a hyphen.                                                                               
When making postings to branch accounts, if you enter a plus sign  
    before the account number in this field, you override the firm     
    connection to the head office when making this posting. The system 
    displays a dialog box in which you can enter a new head office. If 
    you do not enter a head office, the system posts to the branch     
    account directly.                                                                               
Special G/L Indicator for the Next Line Item                                                                               
Indicator which identifies a special G/L transaction. Special G/L
     transactions include down payments and bills of exchange.        
Asset transaction type                                                                               
The transaction type in Asset Accounting classifies the business     
    transaction.  The transaction type controls various system activities
    when business transactions are posted.
