Transparency. We have learned to value this word. It means that there is no fine print, that expectations are aligned and it encourages us to trust, believing that there will be no unpleasant surprises. We demand transparency from our collaborators and expect the same from our business partners. And this is highly significant when transforming sales and purchases into accounting records.
When you create documents that generate journal entries, you can preview the expected entry before adding the document. What’s more, you can decide that the entry will be split according to the lines in the document – guaranteeing full transparency, remember? But what if this isn’t ideal for your business? Imagine you have documents with dozens of lines – do you really need the journal entry to reflect all those lines? Or, for accounting purposes, would a condensed transaction suffice? Well, you can have both options:
In the “Journal Entry by Document Lines” setting, you can choose the “Split on Entry Preview Only” option. This way, you can review the detailed and transparent posting, line by line, and adjust the document if necessary before adding it. Once added, the document generates an unsplit posting across the document rows. Available in SAP Business One and the version for SAP HANA.
