Posting Overdue Items in fi

Use

You now post the overdue items for your customer. This customer will then be selected in the next dunning run.

You post the invoice directly in Financial Accounting, there is no integration with the Sales and Distribution application. This makes it easier to post backdated invoices.

Procedure

1. Call up the transaction as follows:

Menu Path	Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® Accounts Receivable ® Document Entry ® Invoice
Transaction	FB70



Make sure that the correct company code is specified.

If the system displays the Enter company code dialog box, enter the following data:

Field	Europe	North America
Company code	1000	3000

Otherwise, choose Environment ® Set company code. In the dialog box, enter 1000 (Europe) or 3000 (North America).

Choose .

2. If the worklists are not displayed, choose Tree on.
3. On the Basic Data tab page, enter the following data:

To simplify this process, we have not defined a cost element for account 800200, which means that you do not need to assign a CO object, for example, an order number. You do not therefore need an additional account assignment. The system does not, therefore, transfer the data to Profit Center Accounting.
