How is the posting key determined?

Hi,
I have a general question about posting keys.
What is the logic behind the posting keys (customizing OB41)?
I think we have 2 possibilities:
With automatic postings, the posting keys are picked up from the "Account assignment" in Customizing (OMWB).
With manual postings, the posting key is selected manually when making the posting.
Do you have any more information about it?
Thank you for your feedback.
Kind regards,
Linda

Linda,
Posting Key is a 2 character numerical key that controls the entry of line items.
The posting key determines:
Account type
Debit/credit posting
Layout of entry screens
When you enter a posting, you enter a posting key for each item. This key determines how the item is posted. Posting keys are defined at client level and therefore apply to all company codes.
The posting key determines:
The data you can enter in the line item
How data you post is processed
How the system updates the data you enter
Posting keys are differentiated by customer, vendor and G/L accounts. Apart from the General Ledger Accounting (FI-GL) and Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-AR/AP) components, there are also posting keys for asset and material accounts.
Hope that helps.

How to mention posting keys for line items in IDOCS for fb01 posting

Hi all ,
I am using IDOCS for fb01 posting with posting keys 15 and posting keys 40 for line items .The data is in legacy file . I am using IDOC <b>ACC_GL_POSTING_01</b> for posting . Is there any way that I can mention the posting keys in the segment parameters of the IDOC.If there is anyone who have done fb01 posting with IDOCS,please help me with the code .Please treat the question as urgent .
Thanks in advance

Hi Arshad,
There is no fecility to enter Posting keys explicitly.. It is determined automaticall by the Credit/Debit amounts u enter in GL data in the segments E1BPACGL08 and E1BPACCR08 and also it depends on the Customer and Vendor no.

Posting key determination

Hi everyone. I have recently created a new document type for our operations with advance pay. When billing occurs and the accounting document is created, the total value of the sales is debited on the client account, using posting key 01, and credited correctly on the advance pay account determined by the accounting department.
All that is correct, except for the posting key on the advance pay account, in the accounting document. The posting key for the credit should be 19 - Special G/L credit, but instead the system is using 50 - Credit entry, which is the same as our regular sales orders. Does anyone know where I can change which posting key is used?

Hi,
Go to T. Code: FBKP/ OB41
There you will find a list of Posting keys, maintained for various kinda postings.
Say, Posting Key:
40 - Debit entry (Double-click on to the Field and Maintain Field Status)
50 - Credit entry (Double-click on to the Field and Maintain Field Status)
Along with which we describe Account type as Vendor/ Customer/ Asset/ G/L Account etc...
Say, its G/L Account.
T. Code: OBX1
Check Posting Keys for Transaction.
Similarly, For Customer,
T. Code: OBXR
And, For Vendor
T. Code: OBYR
Best Regards,
Amit.

Go to FBKP. Click on Automatic Postings.
Suppose you want to see the Exchange Rate diff. then click on it. You will see the transaction. Suppose KDB. Then double click on it. Now click on posting keys. The same will be defined in the table which is given by you.

How is the tax code determined while creating a new PO?

Hello,
how is the tax code determined while creating a new PO?

HI,
Tax code refers to a TAXINN /TAX INJ and it always at country level -where the business dealing happens and not dependent on any other factors like vendor or material, company code or plant. etc.
So after you have maintained a Tax code in FTXP in the category as input Tax( V) it would be appears in the Tab Invoice.
where you could manually select the same
For automatic determination as said in the top messages we can maintain an inforecord.
hope so it helps

Financial impact - Need to correct the posting key

Dear All,
During a configuration,by mistake in OBYC in transaction key COC, in posting key, a entry 40 and 50 in the field Debit & credit was made.
However, It was blank in initially. Now when going to change it by making it blank, system throwing an error as:
"Specify at least one posting key "

Please suggest me to rid out from this issue, I would like to maintain it again as blank.
Thanks in advance..........
Warm Regards
Jayesh

Thanks Bijay,
The values of posting key in COC were blank.
I changed and save that. but surprising thing is that, just immediately when I tried to made its blank.
system was not allowing to made it blank by thrown the error "Specify at least one posting key "
I do not want any value in it and would like as it was in initially i.e. blank (standard)

How should the "recall" key work? Is there a design defect?

I purchased a LCD TV/DVD unit (NS-LDVD26Q-10A) last week. I connected it directly to cable (no cable box), channel scanned, etc. It works fine EXCEPT the "recall" key does not remember the prior channel after a few minutes. I'm using the remote that came with the TV and key in the channel (24 in this case) and then key in another channel (7.1). It makes no difference whether I use the "OK" key after each entry or just wait a few seconds for it to accept the input.
Hitting the "recall" key will work a few times but then no longer switches between the two channels after a few minutes. I sent email to the customer service department and followed their instructions (remove batteries from remote control & reinsert, unplug TV and re-scan channels) but it didn't solve the problem. They then told me to return the TV for a replacement which I did. However, the problem is the same in the new TV.
I have never seen a "recall" key that did not remember the prior channel until it was turned off. The manual does not give any more instruction and I can not find any more documentation on the web site.
Is this a design defect? I spoke with customer service and they were only able to offer the simple advise above. This is an engineering or documentation problem. What is the answer?

It might be overkill for your particular case, but Eclipse has done all that work already with their plugin infrastructure. They do lazy loading for almost everything because a typical Eclipse installation can have hundreds of plugins of which only 1-2 dozens are loaded and used at the same time.
You might want to move your descriptive data completely outside the plugin classes (in a porperties file for example). You'll need to have a central way to register/identify your plugins anyway, so putting the pure description there might be a good idea.
Eclipse even goes as far as defning available actions and menu entries in properties files. The plugin class only gets loaded once the menu item is selected.

Marker Keys Expression, how about the last key

Hi, if you have dabbled in expressions you probably have already found how nifty the expression
thisLayer.marker.nearestKey(time); is. I first used it to put XMP metadata on the screen.
I also tend to use it for changing text instead of the source property since it's easy to see the text,
where it's at and so forth.
I've read the manual, but haven't found anything like:
thisLayer.marker.lastKey(time);
What I would like is for whatever property I am using from the last keyframe to remain the value until it reaches
the next keyframe.
Anyone know how that might be done?

Mylenium, You and your site have been more than helpful to me. It's people like you that make any community worth it's while.
Adobe should put a larger than life statue of you in the center of San Jose, or at least give you like free vacations to hawaii or something :-)
If you are ever in my neck of the woods I'm buying
I have a project I am supposed to turn over to other studios so they can use it as a template. Rather than have them dig around through layers to change titles and stuff, I am putting all the keyframes into a configuration composition and having all the other layers take their cues from it. Never tried to do anything like that before but it's actually looking like a nice solution and an easy way to set up timing and text through all the compositions just by opening one and editing. I think the extra work and the extra expressions will pay off as the project gets used over and over.
Again Thanks, can't wait to get into the studio monday and try this out.
