We would like to Use the SKTO condition type as Acrual condition

Question

Hello Experts,
We have a requirement to track the possible cash discounts in discounts bucket, Hence we though that we will use the SKTO condition type as a Accrual condition type and post to Accrual accounts at the time of billing document creation.
While processing the Payment we will clear the bucket with relevant discounts with eligible payment terms.
We are debating and discussing the use of SKTO as a Accrual condition type and start posting GL accounts with it (This means that we are removing the statistical check box from pricing procedure).
In a nutshell our requirement is.
1. Track the cash discounts in a Accrual bucket.
2. Relieve the accrual when payment is applied (This will be done in Cash app)
3. What are the consequences of making this change?
4. Is there a better way of managing this?
Thanks

Hi,
Your issue can be solved by CO consultant.
Your CO consultant can generate report from CO-pa documents.(when invoice is released to a/c ,FI and CO documents are generated) and you know SKTO- cash discount amount even if it statistical condition type.
You do not need to change in Pricing procedure for tracking  cash discount.
SKTO is linked wtih payment terms and it is applied accordingly through standard programs.
