E-invoicing in Germany: How to implement the obligation with SAP Business One

Detailed explanation/description:

In the integrated financial accounting of SAP Business One, "Other operating expenses" are an important component of the income statement in accordance with Section 275 (2) No. 8 HGB. They reduce the operating result (EBIT) and are included in the calculation of earnings before taxes (EBT). This item is used to show all operating expenses that do not fall under cost of materials, personnel expenses or depreciation and amortisation and cannot be allocated to a specific function such as sales or administration.

Integration into business processes

These expenses are usually recorded automatically when the corresponding documents are posted (e.g. incoming invoices), whereby SAP Business One generates suitable journal entries. Accruals, adjustments or closing entries are added manually via journal entries if required. The postings are based on the G/L account determinationwhich determines which expenses are allocated to which account in the chart of accounts.
