Posting Of Periodic Accrual Amounts

To post accrual amounts at the end of a period, you can use the transaction ACEPOSTINGRUN in the S/4HANA Accrual Engine.

This transaction is used to post periodic accruals for all applications that work with the Accrual Engine.
On the selection screen, you’ll find the field “Application Component”:

The fields Accrual Object and Accrual Subobject depend on the application component:

For manual accruals, the Accrual Object is a combination of the accrual object category and the accrual object number.
Use the F4 input help to select the correct value for this field.

Posting of Accruals: Define Posting Schema

The posting schema is used to define how accrual postings are structured.

The Posting Schema Specifies:

Important Line Item Types:

A line item of type 9003 must be included for periodic accrual postings
A line item of type 9000 may be posted to any G/L account, typically an expense account

Standard and Custom Schemas:

Standard posting schemas such as SAP_ACE_PP are delivered by SAP
Custom posting schemas can be created by customers in the IMG activity “Define Posting Schema.

Posting of Accruals: Assign Posting Schema

For each accrual item type that triggers accrual postings, a posting schema must be assigned.
This assignment is carried out in the IMG activity:
Assign Accrual Item Types to Journal Entry Types and Posting Schemas

Posting Schema Assignment Rules:

If an accrual item type is configured to perform all types of postings, it must be assigned to three posting schemas, one for each posting type (ACE TType):

If only periodic postings are required, the accrual item type must be assigned to one posting schema, for ACE TType = PP.

Additional Requirements:

Each assigned posting schema must include a line item with type 9003 (required for periodic accruals).
In the same IMG activity, the document type to be used in accrual postings is also assigned.
