FI--GL Entry posting

FB50 - Post GL Document

Functionality

This is an SAP Enjoy transaction used to post GL documents. Using this transaction you can also post so-called cross-company code documents. For instance, if you want to post an entry that includes data relevant for company code 1000 to 5200:

a)    In the document header enter company code 1000

b)    In the relevant line item put code 5200, amount and other relevant data,

c)    In another line make posting for company code 1000.

In order to balance debit and credit the system will automatically generate two other line items to post to the clearing accounts in each of company codes.

Scenario

A user wants to post a GL document, using transaction FB50 (direct posting). Examples of this are journal entries.
