SAP Business One - G/L account determination

SAP Business One G/L account determination is part of automation. This means that the system automatically selects the correct account for a posting based on predefined rules and criteria. This integration ensures efficient and error-free accounting.

The G/L account determination function offers an efficient way to automatically assign documents to an account when they are entered. This feature not only relieves you of recurring routine tasks, but also makes a significant contribution to avoiding incorrect postings. This useful function can be activated in the "Administration" area under the menu item "Definition", then "finance", followed by "Account determination" and "G/L accounts".

Individual account assignment settings

An interesting detail of SAP Business One G/L account determination is the option to define account assignment settings individually for each financial year. This is done in the "G/L account determination" window, where a "Period selection" list field is used to select the respective financial year. When setting up new financial years, the system automatically adopts the account determination settings of the last year created, which simplifies the process and saves time.

Account determination settings per financial year

However, it is important to note that any changes to the account determination settings in a specific financial year are only valid for this posting period. If such changes are also to apply to subsequent or previous fiscal years, it is necessary to make these changes manually in the G/L account determination settings in SAP Business One for each fiscal year concerned. This ensures that account determination is always up-to-date and tailored to the specific requirements of each financial year.
