A number of conditions that are used to illustrate the differences between cost accounting and financial accounting can be used.
An accrual type in SAP Business One is a method of defining how financial transactions are accrued in the balance sheet. Accrual types are used to determine when a transaction is included in the balance sheet The impairment loss is recognised depending on whether it was performed in the current financial year or in a future financial year.
There are several types of accrual types in SAP Business One, including:
- "Split over time": With this accrual type, transactions that are carried out over several financial years are allocated proportionately to the financial years concerned.
- "Early accrual": With this type of accrual, transactions are recognised in the business year They are recognised in the period in which they are performed, even if they relate to future periods.
- "Delayed accrual": This accrual type accrues transactions in the financial year in which they have an effect, even if they were carried out in an earlier financial year.
The selection of the correct accrual type depends on the type of transaction and the financial year period. In SAP Business One, the accrual type can be defined for each financial transaction. The Versino Financial Suite supports the selection and application of the appropriate accrual type through rule-based specifications and automated posting logic.
