Complete the fields
All the fields that will need to be inserted are the ones regarding the original posting that you need to transfer.
|
The fields must be complete:
Document date | The document date is the date on which the original document was issued. |
Posting date | Date which is used when entering the document in Financial Accounting or Controlling. 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). |
Type | The document type classifies accounting documents. Attributes that control the entry of the document or which are themselves stored in the document are stipulated for each document type. In particular, the number range assigned to the relevant documents is determined on the basis of the document type. |
Company code | Select the company code with the match code. |
Currency/rate | Currency key for amounts in the system. Exchange rate Tax amounts are usually converted using the exchange rate defined by the tax base amounts. If you wish to enter an alternative exchange rate, or have the system default an alternative exchange rate, you make the setting here. As a result of the alternative exchange rate, the document now contains a balance in local currency, which is posted to a separate account by means of an automatically generated line item. |
Translation date | Translation date for determining the exchange rate which is to be used for translation. The exchange rates are stored in the system. You do not need to enter a date unless the date in question is not the same as the document entry date. |
Cross CC-no | Is done automatically. In cross-company code document entry, several documents are created in different company codes. A common transaction number indicates that the documents belong together logically. The transaction number can be assigned by the system or manually. The system creates the number from the document number, company code and fiscal year. |
Document number | Have to be empty |
Reference | The reference document number can contain the document number of the customer/vendor. However it may contain a different value. The reference document number is used as a search criterion when displaying or changing documents.

Choose open items
After completing this line, we select the option:
![]()
and the following screen appears: 
Account Number or Key of a Work list
Numbers of accounts from which the open items are to be selected for further processing (account to be cleared) or the key of a work list which represents a group of accounts.
Your entry can only be interpreted as the key of a work list if you have configured the Financial Accounting processing options accordingly (use of work lists for processing open items). If this is the case, then the system will first of all check whether the value entered is a valid key for a work list. If there is no work list with the specified key, then the entry is interpreted as an account number.
If both a work list and an account exist for the same key, then the work list takes precedence. This effect can be used if an account is always to be processed in combination with other accounts and never separately. In this case, you create a work list under the account number and manage this account and all other related accounts in the work list.
If such effects are not required, you should make sure that you do not assign any keys for the work lists for which account numbers already exist.
Account type
The account type determines whether the general ledger or one of the sub ledgers is used.
