If PAM is activated in your company code, you need to maintain the account key and link it to a
GL account in OBYC. The system will create a parallel entry to the accrual account (linked to the
accrual key) during GR which gets offset by the purchase offsetting account assigned to the
transaction key EKG. There will be no entry during IR as these accounts get offset in GR itself.
Entries in the the provision accounts linked to accrual keys gets created as usual which gets
nullified at the time of IR which happens even if PAM is not activated. See the examples below:
PAM Activated:
GR Postings:
IR Postings:
GR Postings:
Stock (BSX) : 110+
GR/IR (WRX) : 100-
Freight Provi – Accruals Key (FR1): 10-
IR Postings:
Vendor(KBS) : 110-
GR/IR (WRX) : 100+
Freight Provi(FR1) : 10+
When PAM is activated the above entries assumes that the purchase account is posted with the
same amount as the GR/IR clearing account and the indicator “Recpt Val” is checked in PAM
configuration.
Please note that Due to special legal requirements, Purchase Account Management (PAM)
function was developed specially for certain countries (Belgium, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy,
