Posting Lines
Define the transaction posting lines in the grid. A posting line can be composed of multiple sub-levels containing additional posting information.
The level 1 posting line contains fields for the GL account, sub-account, cost center, journal entry description, base currency, and debit and credit amounts in the base currency.
The posting grid can automatically display additional level 2 posting lines and fields, depending on how the GL accounts used in the transaction are defined, such as fields for:
• Transaction currency
• Quantity
• Intercompany
• Cost center analysis
• Project analysis
• SAF analysis
• Open items
• Tax account details
If the posting line contains additional level 2 posting lines, a line expander () appears to the left of the line:
Posting Line with Expander
Click on the line expander to view the level 2 posting lines.
If the GL account you use does not have analysis and the transaction you enter is in the base currency, the posting contains only a single line and no level 2 posting lines.
