This activity is used to enter predefined code part values for the code string that is to be used when postings are created for the invoice. Preposting information can be specified for all code parts apart from account. The preposting code string will be used for all posting types that have preposting as a control type value for a code part.
The following posting types that automatically create voucher rows connected to supplier invoices can be controlled by preposting:
Example: For supplier invoices, preposting can be used to make sure that the posting of the supplier debt is always connected to a cost center. The cost center cannot be determined by a supplier group, user group, etc. In this case it is possible to specify that the code part cost center is controlled by preposting for IP1 Supplier Debts (in the Posting Control page).
Prepostings are entered using the Pre-posting dialog. To access the dialog click Pre Posting. In the dialog, enter preposting information on code parts. To make the preposting affect the lines entered in the Posting Information section, enable the Affect Line Postings setting.
Posting control information have been defined on the Posting Control page.
The preposting code string will be used when posting lines are created for all posting types that have preposting as control value for a code part. In case the Affect Line Postings setting is enabled, each new posting line entered will get the retrieved preposting code string.
