S4F13 (Special General Ledger Transactions)

Question 1

Which is the first step in the procedure of making down payments in the customer area?

Choose the correct answer

A. Down payment request.
B. Clearing
C. Customer Invoice
D. Down payment received.

Answer 1

A. Down payment request.

The procedure for making down payments in the customer area is as follows:

1. The down payment is requested:
   Down payment requests are noted items. The down payment requests do not change any account balances. You can automatically issue dunning notices and make payments based on down payment requests.
2. The down payment is received:
   The SAP S/4HANA application displays the received down payments as payables in your accounts. The received down payments must not change the balance of the Receivables reconciliation account. You can administer the received down payments in the Down Payments Received alternative reconciliation account, which is in the Payables area in the financial statements.
3. The customer is invoiced:
   The customer receives an invoice whenever goods are supplied or services are performed.
4. The down payment is posted and cleared with invoice:
   Now that it has cleared, the down payment is no longer considered a down payment. Display the amount as a payment on the normal reconciliation account.
5. The payments are cleared:
   The items are cleared when the customer’s balance is paid.

Answer 2

A, C, D

There are three ways to transfer special general ledger entries to the SAP S/4HANA application. All three are special general ledger types.

> Automatic offsetting entries (statistical):
These transactions are included in the notes to financial statements and are always posted on the same offsetting account.
Example: Posting of a guarantee of payment

> Noted items:
Individual account assignments that are only used to remind the respective department of due payments or payments to be made. They are not intended to be dis-played in the general ledger.
EXAMPLE: Down payment request

> Free offsetting entries:
These entries are part of the financial statements. They are postings with freely defin-able offsetting entries.
EXAMPLE: Bank posting of a received down payment
