ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

This is a Sub Ledger (Subsidiary Ledger). When Material Management (MM) is not
implemented, this is used for all Purchases i.e., Material purchases as well as for services.
When Material Management Module is implemented this is used for Services, where TDS is
to be deducted. Ex: - Legal & Professional Charges, Job work Charges.

In Normal Accounting for Raw Material Purchases accounting entry would be like below:
Purchases A/c Dr
To Party A/c (Supplier Account) Cr
Where as in SAP Entry would be like below:-
Inventory Raw Material A/c Dr (General Ledger) To
Party A/c (Supplier Account) Cr (Subsidiary Ledger)

If the Entry will be like above, Trial Balance will not match as in Trial Balance only
Balances of General Ledgers will affect but not the Subsidiary ledgers. To overcome this
problem, SAP automatically passes one more entry internally as and when we pass the first
entry.

SAP passes Internal Entry to Sundry Creditors RM A/c (General Ledger) which is a Recon
Account or Control Account. If I want to see, one party account we can go to party account.
If I want to see all sub ledgers, we can go to Sundry Creditors RM a/c

(Advance - Special GL Indicator)
A/c # 100501 (Sundry Creditor Inventory Raw Materials A/c)
A/c # 200150 (Advances to Vendors A/c)

At the time of Making Payment, we know the purpose wither it is advance or


against Bill. If payment is made against Bill Number, as we assigned A/c# 100501
in Creditor Account 4400001, it will update the A/c # 100501.
If we are making payment as advance, while at the time of payment against
Creditor A/c 4400001, we mention "A" for advance. System automatically
updates A/c # 200150 (Advances for Vendors Account) instead of Account #
100501 (Sundry Creditors Inventory Raw Materials Account)
