What is GL account, difference bet. Doc.date and posting date, etc.

Hello Experts,
Currently I am supporting reports/programs for FI module. Can anybody please help
me or give me walkthrough on what are the terms like posting key, document date,
posting date, type, account, etc. I am currently modifying a report which posts in
transaction F-02. Any tips and guides will be highly appreciated. Thanks guys and take care!

Hi,
<b>GL Account:</b> This field contains the number of the G/L account to which the transaction figures are updated.we use One gl account for Salaries in an Orgn, and for expenses one GL like that.
<b>Document Date</b>: The document date is the date on which the original document was issued.
<b>Posting date:</b>Date which is used when entering the document in Financial Accounting or Controlling
The fiscal year and the period for which an update of the accounts specified in the document or cost elements is made, are derived from the posting date.
When entering documents, the system checks whether the posting date entered is allowed by means of the posting period permitted.
The posting date can differ from both the entry date (day of entry into the system) and the document date (day of creation of the original document).
<b>Posting Key:</b>The posting key describes the type of transaction which is entered in a line item.
For every posting key, you specify properties which control the entry of the line item or are noted in the line item itself.
The most important properties which are derived from the posting key are:
The account type
The allocation to the debits or credits side
The possible or necessary specifications which are to be entered in the line item.
<b>DocType:</b>The document type classifies the accounting documents. It is stored in the document header.
Attributes that control the entry of the document, or which are themselves noted in the document, are defined for each document type. In particular, the number range assigned to the associated documents is defined on the basis of the document type.

  • What is interactive report , difference bet interactive and classic report

    what is interactive report , difference bet interactive and classic report

    Hi
    Check this thread to get more idea about ALVs.
    Interactive ALV
    DIRLL DOWN AND INTERACTIVE REPORT
    http://www.sap-img.com/abap/difference-between-drilldown-report-and-interactive-report.htm
    As the name suggests, the user can Interact with the report. We can have a drill down into the report data. For example, Column one of the report displays the material numbers, and the user feels that he needs some more specific data about the vendor for that material, he can HIDE that data under those material numbers.
    And when the user clicks the material number, another report (actually sub report/secondary list) which displays the vendor details will be displayed.
    We can have a basic list (number starts from 0) and 20 secondary lists (1 to 21).
    Events associated with Interactive Reports are:
    AT LINE-SELECTION
    AT USER-COMMAND
    AT PF<key>
    TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION.
    HIDE statement holds the data to be displayed in the secondary list.
    sy-lisel : contains data of the selected line.
    sy-lsind : contains the level of report (from 0 to 21)
    Interactive Report Events:
    AT LINE-SELECTION : This Event triggers when we double click a line on the list, when the event is triggered a new sublist is going to be generated. Under this event what ever the statements that are been return will be displayed on newly generated sublist.
    AT PFn: For predefined function keys...
    AT USER-COMMAND : It provides user functions keys.
    TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION :top of page event for secondary list.

  • What is difference bet  call transaction and session method in BDC

    hi
    what is difference bet  call transaction and session method in BDC
    thanks.

    Hi,
    Session method.
    1) synchronous processing.
    2) can tranfer large amount of data.
    3) processing is slower.
    4) error log is created
    5) data is not updated until session is processed.
    Call transaction.
    1) asynchronous processing
    2) can transfer small amount of data
    3) processing is faster.
    4) errors need to be handled explicitly
    5) data is updated automatically

  • What are the functional differences between the iPhone and the iPod Touch, barring of course the differences in service requirements.

    What are the functional differences between the iPhone and the iPod Touch, barring of course the differences in service requirements.

    For one, their form factors are slightly different as the iPhone has a bit more squarish body whereas the iPod Touch has a tapered back to it. 
    The iPhone also has much better front and rear cameras. Exact details as to the difference in megapixels depends on whether or not you talking about the iPhone 4 or 4S.  If you would like to get more details, you can always view
    each models specs on Apple's online store.
    See here for a better explanation.

  • What is the main difference between f.13 and f13e

    Hi,
       What is the main difference between f.13 and f13e.
      when clearing the document do they follow deifferent steps in selection?
    Thanks,
    Sravanthi

    Hi,
    The reason "Clearing currency" is provided is because you can clear in any currency apart from local currency. For eg if your local currency is INR and Document currency (Invoice) is USD and the customer pays in EUR, you can still clear them with the Clearing currency EUR. On the date of payment, Open items in USD will be converted into Clearing currency EUR as follows: USD to INR and from INR to EUR. (based on exchange rates between USD-INR and INR-EUR).

  • What is the basic difference between Hyperion Planning and HFM

    Hi GURU'S,
    what is the basic difference between Hyperion Planning and HFM and when do we choose them.

    On a high level the difference is this:
    1. HFM is best for global collection (collecting data from scattered entities), group consolidation and for easily structuring financial reporting (mainly consisting of financial data)
    2. Planning is best for modeling your business, starting from a demand forecast and arriving to capacity planning and finally to financial statements, by utilizing business drivers (non-financial data like volumes, prices, productivity rates etc)
    Of course, differences may be analyzed at several levels down to technical, but the discussion may turn out to be too long, yet adding little value to the question: "when do we choose the one over the other". Bear in mind that your requirements may turn out that you need both.

  • What are the major differences between the air and the pro

    what are the major differences between the air and the pro?

    In a nutshell, the Air is a lightened, more compact system than the 13" Pro counterpart. The Air loses some hardware features to accommodate the physical downsizing.
    No FireWire port
    No built-in optical drive
    A lesser performing CPU to retain battery charge life, and adequate cooling.
    No Ethernet port
    No Kensington lock slot
    The Air does have a superior native resolution at 1440 x 900, and a standard SSD that does make up alot of the speed differential, and then some. Of course, the 13" Pro can be optionally configured with an SSD.
    You buy the Air if the physical size an weight savings are demonstrably more important than the features lost.

  • What are the biggest differences between the 5C and the 5S?

    What are the biggest differences between the 5C and the 5S?

    I think as soon as the developers discover CoreMotion, all of the apps will migrate to using that so fast it will cause your head to spin.
    I think this will cause the obsolesces of more mobile hardware then anything prior to it. The whining and moaning on these forum is going to be so great.

  • What would be the difference between sling:folder and nt:folder?

    what would be the difference between sling:folder and nt:folder?

    See,
       As Nicolas said, there are some things that you can do only in a sling:folder type of node.
       The "nt" means "Node Type", and a "node type: folder" is just a empty node that can be referenced as a organizational structure file folder. The "sling" prefix means that this one special folder belong to the type "Sling", in other words, that folder type node is built in the sling Framework structure and is constructed with some setting already, which I do not know to tell you. Take a look at "/libs/sling/nodetypes/sling.cnd" on you CRXDE Lite or CRXDE.
    (I may be wrong about some details, eveything here is what I believe myself after some research and experience)

  • What is the difference between Commit, Commit_Form and Post ?

    What is the difference between Commit, Commit_Form and Post ?

    Commit() and commit_form() are exactly the same. The changes done into the databased blocks are made in the database select/insert/update and commited.
    post() does the same, but without the last commit in the database (so that you can rollback).

  • Difference bet EK01, EK02 and VPRS

    Hi Gurus,
    pls explain me what is the main difference between EK01, EK02 and VPRS. In which scenarios these costs are specifically using in the business process.
    Thanks in advance,
    Venkat.

    Hi
    VPRS
    VPRS cost is mainly used to determine weather the material is having the standard price or moving average price
    The condition type VPRS is labeled as a statistical condition in the pricing procedure.
    in this ,Using the condition category G, the condition type VPRS goes into the valuation segment of the material master and determines from here the standard or average price.
    The condition category S always accesses the standard price whereas condition category T always accesses the average price.
    EK01
    1)EK01 can be used as a basis for determining a price for the make-to-order item.
    2) EK02 is a statistical condition which can used instead of VPRS to calculate the profit margin for the assembly item.
    3)Condition type EK01 is mainly used for cost-plus contracts in which the sales price depends on the expected costs.
    4)Condition type EK01 is selected for sales document type TA (standard order). This means that the value from the cost estimate goes directly into pricing. A surcharge is calculated from this value and the net value for the sales order item is calculated.
