defined based on the document type.
2. Posting Date - Date which is used when entering the accounting document in Financial Accounting or
Controlling. The fiscal year and the period for which an update of the accounts specified in the document or
cost elements is made, are derived from the posting date. When entering documents, the system checks
whether the posting date entered is allowed by means of the posting period permitted.
Note
The posting date can differ from both the entry date (day of entry into the system)
The posting date can differ from the entry date (date of entry in the system) and the
document date.
4. Reference Number - The reference document number can contain the document number of the
customer/vendor. However, it may contain a different value. The reference document number is used as a
search criterion when displaying or changing documents. In correspondence, the reference document

partner. If the document was created in-house and you do not know the business partner document number,
you can copy the document number into the reference number field by entering "*".
5. Reference Transaction - If an accounting document is posted via the interface in Accounting, the sending
application transfers a unique reference. It consists of object key and object type. The object key consists of a

the original document.

transfers a unique reference. It consists of object key and object type. The object key consists of a reference
document number and a reference organizational unit.

types classify features of a withholding tax including:
1. The time at which the withholding tax is posted
2. The basis on which the base amount is calculated
3. The basis for accumulation (if applicable)
Withholding tax types are to be distinguished from withholding tax codes, to which are allocated the
withholding tax percentage rate example. Whether a withholding tax can be defined as an existing type by
means of a new code, or if a new type needs to be defined will depend on the type of transaction.
