This document is meant as help when explaining the financial effects of a certain
business event in IFS Financials. It is not an easy task to describe all business
events that may call for different posting types to occur. For example, whether
tax is going to be posted at all depends on the way that supplier and customer basic
data is established. Not all posting types will thus occur, even if they could.
Another example is that postings can be varied concerning debit and credit depending
on sales or credits. All posting types that could occur are included in the following
examples. It is up to the reader/user to try to understand why, in a certain circumstance,
some of the posting types were not involved in a transaction.
Note: AP/AR means Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable.

5.4 IFS/Fixed Assets - Connections between Posting Types and System Events
Note: If more than one book is used in Fixed Assets the postings must be capable of being differentiated per book in the ledger(s) to create the respective balance sheets and income statements. In IFS/Fixed Assets it is possible to connect a specific voucher type to a FA Book. If a specific voucher type is connected to a book, this voucher type will be used for book specific postings (like depreciations or adjustments). The voucher type controls for which ledger(s) the vouchers will be created. If separate ledgers are used for all books, the same code string can be used for transactions of different books, as the vouchers for the different books (e.g. the depreciations for the different books) are transferred to different ledgers. If no separate ledgers are used for book specific transactions and several books are set up to create accountings, posting control must be set up in such a way that book specific codes strings are created for all book-specific transactions. This can be achieved by using control type FAC3 Book.
FAP0 Description of use: This is a posting type that looks into previously made transactions and reverses the account used. An example could be when an object is sold, and the acquisitions value is going to be reversed. The posting control uses the account for acquisition and reverses the value.

Debit or credit posting: This could be either a debit or credit posting, depending on if the rate for the consolidation period is higher or lower than the rate at acquisition, as well as if the amount for which the currency difference is calculated is a debit or a credit amount.
GCP21 Description of use: This posting type is used during the elimination of equity as specified in the Acquisition Register. It counter post the currency difference between the rate at the time of the acquisition of a subsidiary and the rate valid for the consolidation period. See GCP20 above.
Debit or credit posting: This could be either a debit or credit posting. If the resulting GCP20 amount is a debit amount, this will be a credit amount and vice versa.
GCP22 Description of use: If overvalues or other adjustments from a subsidiary acquisition should be amortized over time, this posting type is used to represent the amortization cost or revenue of the previous years to adjust the Profit/Loss brought forward from preceding years in the Balance Sheet.
Debit or credit posting: If the amortization refers to a cost, this will be a debit posting. If the amortization refers to a revenue, this will be a credit posting.
GCP23 Description of use: This posting type is used to adjust the currency translation difference on the balance sheet items registered in the Historical Consolidation Rates window. The items that needs to be translated using historical currency rates are registered in the Historical Consolidation Rates window and the difference between historical rates and the closing rates are reflected by the currency translation difference.
Debit or credit posting: If the difference between the translated amount at closing rates in the consolidation process and the same registered in Historical Consolidation Rates window, is less than zero, this will be a debit posting.
GCP24 Description of use: This posting type is used to recognize the currency translation reserve in the registered items in the Historical Consolidation Rates window.
Debit or credit posting: This is the counter posting of GCP 23. f the difference between the translated amount at closing rates in the consolidation process and the same registered in Historical Consolidation Rates window, is less than zero, this will be a credit posting.

Balance Transfer of Actuals
If the accumulated profit or loss for the year hasn’t been correctly posted in the reporting company, it will be calculated and added to the reported balances, separately for the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement.
GCP1 Description of use: This posting type will be used to post any remaining Balance Sheet account balance.
Debit or credit posting: If the Balance Sheet accounts in the transfer have a debit balance, the posting will be a credit (profit) and vice versa (loss).
GCP2 Description of use: This posting type will be used to post any remaining Income Statement account balance.
Debit or credit posting: If the Income Statement accounts in the transfer have a credit balance, the posting will be a debit (profit) and vice versa (loss).
Balance Transfer of Budget
If the accumulated profit or loss hasn’t been correctly budgeted in the reporting company, it will be calculated and added to the reported balances, separately for the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement. This is also the case if the reported budget does not cover the whole Balance Sheet or Income Statement. You can then choose how the difference should be posted:
If the Adjust Reporting Company Profit/Loss option is disabled, the following posting types will be used:
GCP12 Description of use: This posting type will be used to post any remaining Balance Sheet account balance.
Debit or credit posting: If the Balance Sheet accounts in the transfer have a debit balance, the posting will be a credit (profit) and vice versa (loss).
GCP13 Description of use: This posting type will be used to post any remaining Income Statement account balance.
Debit or credit posting: If the Income Statement accounts in the transfer have a credit balance, the posting will be a debit (profit) and vice versa (loss).
If the Adjust Reporting Company Profit/Loss option enabled, the following posting types will be used:
GCP1 Description of use: This posting type will be used to post any remaining Balance Sheet account balance.
Debit or credit posting: If the Balance Sheet accounts in the transfer have a debit balance, the posting will be a credit (profit) and vice versa (loss).
GCP2 Description of use: This posting type will be used to post any remaining Income Statement account balance.
Debit or credit posting: If the Income Statement accounts in the transfer have a credit balance, the posting will be a debit (profit) and vice versa (loss).
Adjustment Journal Entry
When entering adjustment journals, the total of Balance Sheet accounts and the total of Income Statement accounts must balance individually before the journal can be approved. If not, the difference will be automatically added to the journal, separately for the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement, when the journal status is changed to Awaiting Approval or Approved.
GCP1 Description of use: This posting type will be used to post any remaining Balance Sheet account balance.
Debit or credit posting: If the Balance sheet accounts in the adjustment journal have a debit balance, the posting will be a credit (profit) and vice versa (loss).
GCP2 Description of use: This posting type will be used to post any remaining Income Statement account balance.
Debit or credit posting: If the Income Statement accounts in the adjustment journal have a credit balance, the posting will be a debit (profit) and vice versa (loss).
Consolidation Process
Although executed in one sequence, the consolidation process consists of a number of separate steps, were each step except one might require a number of different posting types.
If the balances should be translated from one currency to another in the consolidation process, closing rates are used for Balance Sheet accounts and average rates are used for Income Statement accounts. The rates are fetched from the currency rate types connected to the balance version used in the consolidation. As a result, the profit/loss for the year in the Income Statement may not correspond with the Balance Sheet due to currency rate differences. The following posting types are used to eliminate this currency rate difference in the profit/loss for the year from the Balance Sheet:
GCP3 Description of use: This posting type is used to eliminate the currency rate difference in the profit/loss for the year from the Balance Sheet.
Debit or Credit posting: If the closing rate is higher than the average rate, in case of a profit, this will be a credit posting and vice versa. If the closing rate is higher than the average rate, in case of a loss, this will be a debit posting and vice versa.
GCP4 Description of use: The posting type GCP3 is used to eliminate the currency rate difference in the profit/loss for the year from the Balance Sheet. This posting type is used to counter post the GCP3 posting in the Balance Sheet.
Debit or Credit posting: If the closing rate is higher than the average rate, in case of a profit, this will be a debit posting and vice versa. If the closing rate is higher than the average rate, in case of a loss, this will be a credit posting and vice versa.
GCP23 Description of use: This posting type is used to adjust the currency translation difference on the balance sheet items registered in the Historical Consolidation Rates window. The items that needs to be translated using historical currency rates are registered in the Historical Consolidation Rates window and the difference between historical rates and the closing rates are reflected by the currency translation difference.
Debit or credit posting: If the difference between the translated amount at closing rates in the consolidation process and the same registered in Historical Consolidation Rates window, is less than zero, this will be a debit posting.
GCP24 Description of use: This posting type is used to recognize the currency translation reserve in the registered items in the Historical Consolidation Rates window.
Debit or credit posting: This is the counter posting of GCP 23. f the difference between the translated amount at closing rates in the consolidation process and the same registered in Historical Consolidation Rates window, is less than zero, this will be a credit posting.
When balances are translated from one currency to another using a rate, there might be rounding issues which must be handled separately for the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement. This is however taken care of when the last step is executed in the consolidation process. See 5 – Calculate Net Consolidated Balances below.
Out of the three consolidation methods, it’s only Proportional that would require the use of posting types. No ownership elimination is done for the method Equity Majority and the method Equity Minority reverses existing balances in full, using the original code strings. If Proportional is used, the system calculates the amounts to be eliminated based on the ownership level (%). This means that there might be rounding issues which must be handled separately for the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement. This is however taken care of when the last step is executed in the consolidation process. See 5 – Calculate Net Consolidated Balances below.
The profit adjustment can be viewed as the second step of the ownership elimination. In this step, it’s only the consolidation methods Equity Majority and Equity Minority which are affected, as the profit or loss has already been adjusted in the previous step if the Proportional method is used.
If method Equity Majority is used and the ownership is less than 100%, the company owes a part of the profit to non-controlling interests. This payable amount and its counter posting should be posted to the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement, using the following posting types:
GCP5 Description of use: The profit payable to non-controlling interests should be posted to the Balance Sheet, using this posting type.
Debit or credit posting: If the company reports a profit, this will be a credit posting. If the company reports a loss, this will be a debit posting.
GCP6 Description of use: The profit payable to non-controlling interests should be counter posted to the Balance Sheet, using this posting type.
Debit or credit posting: If the company reports a profit, this will be a debit posting. If the company reports a loss, this will be a credit posting.
GCP14 Description of use: The profit attributable to non-controlling interests should be posted to the Income Statement, using this posting type.
Debit or credit posting: If the company reports a profit, this will be a debit posting. If the company reports a loss, this will be a credit posting.
GCP15 Description of use: The profit attributable to non-controlling interests should be counter posted to the Income Statement, using this posting type.
Debit or credit posting: If the company reports a profit, this will be a credit posting. If the company reports a loss, this will be a debit posting.
If method Equity Minority is used, the company is entitled to a part of the profit from whoever has the majority interest in the investee company. This claim and its effect on the profit should be posted both to the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement, using the following posting types:
GCP7 Description of use: This posting type will be used to account for the claim in the Balance Sheet of the investor company.
Debit or credit posting: If the investee company reports a profit, this will be a debit posting. If the investee company reports a loss, this will be a credit posting.
GCP1 Description of use: This posting type will be used to adjust the Balance Sheet profit of the investor company for the claim posted with GCP7.
Debit or credit posting: If the investee company reports a profit, this will be a credit posting. If the investee company reports a loss, this will be a debit posting.
GCP8 Description of use: This posting type will be used to account for the recognized profit in the Income Statement of the investor company.
Debit or credit posting: If the investee company reports a profit, this will be a credit posting. If the investee company reports a loss, this will be a debit posting.
GCP2 Description of use: This posting type will be used to adjust the Income Statement profit of the investor company for the recognized profit posted with GCP8.
Debit or credit posting: If the investee company reports a profit, this will be a debit posting. If the investee company reports a loss, this will be a credit posting.
Basically, any business between two companies meeting in a structure node should be eliminated. This can either be done in the original accounts or in separate accounts defined in Posting Control. Regardless of how this is done, any difference between the intercompany balances of the selected pair of related companies will be posted to a separate account. The following posting types are used in this step:
GCP9 Description of use: If Posting Control is used, this posting type will be used to reverse the intercompany balance in the first company of the selected pair of related companies.
Debit or credit posting: If the intercompany balance is a debit balance, the reversing posting will be a credit posting, and vice versa.
GCP10 Description of use: If Posting Control is used, this posting type will be used to reverse the intercompany balance in the counterpart company of the selected pair of related companies.
Debit or credit posting: If the intercompany balance is a debit balance, the reversing posting will be a credit posting, and vice versa.
GCP11 Description of use: Any difference between the amounts in the two companies will be posted to a separate account using this posting type.
Debit or credit posting: If the debit amount is higher, this will be a credit posting, and vice versa.
During the consolidation process, equity elimination postings can be generated based on information entered in the Acquisition Register. This will however only take place if the parent has control over the subsidiary, i.e. the consolidation method Equity Majority is being used. In that case, three types of equity elimination postings are generated:
GCP20 Description of use: This posting type is used during the elimination of equity as specified in the Acquisition Register. It posts the currency difference between the rate at the time of the acquisition of a subsidiary and the rate valid for the consolidation period.
Debit or credit posting: This could be either a debit or credit posting, depending on if the rate for the consolidation period is higher or lower than the rate at acquisition, as well as if the amount for which the currency difference is calculated is a debit or a credit amount.
GCP21 Description of use: This posting type is used during the elimination of equity as specified in the Acquisition Register. It counter post the currency difference between the rate at the time of the acquisition of a subsidiary and the rate valid for the consolidation period. See GCP20 above.
Debit or credit posting: This could be either a debit or credit posting. If the resulting GCP20 amount is a debit amount, this will be a credit amount and vice versa.
As part of the consolidation process, the system can calculate and post amortization of overvalues as defined in the Acquisition Register. This is done separately for the Income Statement (cost/revenue) and the Balance Sheet (accumulated amortization).
GCP19 Description of use: If overvalues or other adjustments from a subsidiary acquisition should be amortized over time, this posting type is used to represent the amortization cost or revenue in the Income Statement.
Debit or credit posting: If the amortization refers to a cost, this will be a debit posting. If the amortization refers to a revenue, this will be a credit posting.
GCP2 Description of use: This posting type is used to post the effect on profit or loss in the Income Statement due to amortization. See GCP19 above.
Debit or credit posting: If the amortization posting is a debit posting, this will be a credit posting, and vice versa.
GCP22 Description of use: If overvalues or other adjustments from a subsidiary acquisition should be amortized over time, this posting type is used to represent the amortization cost or revenue of the previous years to adjust the Profit/Loss brought forward from preceding years in the Balance Sheet.
Debit or credit posting: If the amortization refers to a cost, this will be a debit posting. If the amortization refers to a revenue, this will be a credit posting.
GCP18 Description of use: If overvalues or other adjustments from a subsidiary acquisition should be amortized over time, this posting type is used to represent the accumulated amortization in the Balance Sheet, i.e. the counter posting to GCP19 above.
Debit or credit posting: If the amortization refers to a cost, this will be a credit posting. If the amortization refers to a revenue, this will be a debit posting.
GCP1 Description of use: This posting type is used to post the effect on profit or loss in the Balance Sheet due to amortization. See GCP18 above.
Debit or credit posting: If the accumulated amortization posting is a credit posting, this will be a debit posting, and vice versa.
This calculation just adds up the transactions created in the previous steps of the consolidation process. However, before this step can be calculated, the system automatically takes care of any rounding differences that might have occurred in the previous steps. This is done separately for the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement.
GCP12 Description of use: This posting type is used to post any remaining balance for Balance Sheet accounts.
Debit or credit posting: If there is a remaining debit balance, the posting will be a credit, and vice versa.
GCP13 Description of use: This posting type is used to post any remaining balance for Income Statement accounts.
Debit or credit posting: If there is a remaining debit balance, the posting will be a credit, and vice versa.
Parallel Consolidation Process
The Consolidation process and the Parallel Consolidation process are executed in one sequence and Consolidation process is the base for the Parallel Consolidation process. It consists of several steps:
Out of these steps, it's only the Parallel Dimension Elimination that creates new transactions using Posting Control. The transactions among different dimension values (code part values under the code part selected for the parallel consolidation) are eliminated according to the parallel consolidation structure in the parallel consolidation process. The following posting controls are used to recognize parallel dimension elimination differences in the balance sheet and in the income statement.
GCP16 Description of use: Any difference between the total amounts of accounts belonging to the logical account types Assets, Liabilities and Statistics, Opening Balance for the two dimension values considered will be posted to a separate account by using this posting type.
Debit or credit posting: If the debit amount is higher, this will be a credit posting, and vice versa.
GCP17 Description of use: Any difference between the total amounts of accounts belonging to the logical account types Revenue, Cost and Statistics for the two dimension values considered will be posted to a separate account by using this posting type.
Debit or credit posting: If the debit amount is higher, this will be a credit posting and vice versa.
