Posting Keys
What are posting Keys and How are they used while making postings?
Posting keys determine whether a line item is a debit or credit as well as the possible field status for the
transaction. In this context, it is essential to understand the factors that determine the field status of a
transaction. The field status within a FI document is controlled by Accout Type, field status of Posting Key
and the field status of the G/L account.
Modifying the SAP delivered Posting keys are not recommended. if a posting key is to be modified the
best possible action is to copy the posting key that needs to be modified and then modify the copy. we
can define the posting keys using the transaction OB41.
It also determines the account type to which the debit or credit is to be made and whether it is Spl G/L
transaction. If it is a Spl G/L transaction, then the field for Spl G/L indicator becomes required entry.
R= required
s= suppressed
e=error
SD= Suppressed dominates
Rd= required dominates
np=no problem.

Only Hide and Required combination gives error. In all other cases the dominace is always in the above
sequence. If you want to take the FSG dominace, set all fields in posting key as optional.
The parking of documents can be used to ‘park’ data relating to customers, vendors, or assets
(acquisition only). When a cross-Company Code document is ‘parked,’ only one document is created in
the initial Company Code; when this ‘parked’ document is posted all other documents relevant for all other
Company Codes will also be created. However, it is to be noted that substitution functionality cannot be
used with document ‘parking,’ as substitution is activated only on transaction processing.
The added advantage is that a document ‘parked’ by an accounting clerk can be called on for completion
by someone else. The ‘parked’ documents can be displayed individually or as a list from where the
required document can be selected for completion and posting. The number of the ‘parked’ document is
transferred to the posted document. The original ‘parked’ document, if necessary, can be displayed even
after it has been posted to.
During a transaction when you do not have a piece of required information, you can ‘Hold the Document’
and complete it later. As in the case of ‘parked’ documents, here also the document does not update the
transaction figures.
Purchasing maintains data on the vendors that are defined in the system jointly with Finance. Information
on each vendor is stored in a vendor master record that contains both accounting and procurement
information. The vendor master record represents the creditor account in Finance.
Materials Management is closely linked to Production Planning through inventory needs. Inventory
management is responsible for staging of components required for production.
Integration in Plant Maintenance
Materials Management and Plant Maintenance are linked by Bills of Materials. It is possible to post a
good receipt with reference to an equipment BOM. It is also possible to withdraw part for maintenance
orders. Serial numbers are activated in Materials Management but used within the Plant Maintenance
system.
Integration in Logistics
The inventory management system can be extended by the Warehouse Management System (WMS),
which manages storage bins in complex warehouse structures. While Inventory Management manages
the stock quantity and value, WMS handles and monitors storage.
