The following SAP configuration need to be done if you need to enter Statistical Posting (Transaction code: F-55) in SAP.

1. Define Alternative Reconciliation Account for Vendors/Customer

In this SAP step, you define SAP accounts which show the posting of a corresponding special G/L transaction to the general ledger. The postings are made to these accounts instead of to the normal reconciliation account.

Note: The specification is dependent on account type, special G/L indicator, chart of accounts and reconciliation account.

Activities are as follows:

Specify the number of the alternative reconciliation account.
Make sure that the account is created in SAP system.

2. Define Accounts for Automatic Offsetting Entry

In this SAP activity you define the G/L accounts to which the SAP system posts the offsetting entry for specific special G/L transactions, for example, guarantees or bills of exchange.

The account specification is differentiated by the chart of accounts and a key that contains the account type and the special G/L indicator.

Activities are as follows:

Specify the accounts for the necessary SAP transactions. Only change the posting keys if you are not using the posting keys delivered with the system.
Make sure that the specified accounts are created in the SAP system.
