The Enter Preposting activity is used to enter predefined code part values for the code string that is to be used when postings are created for the invoice. Preposting information can be specified for all code parts apart from account. The preposting code string will be used for all posting types that have preposting as a control type value for a code part.
The following posting types that automatically create voucher rows connected to supplier invoices can be controlled by preposting:
Example
For supplier invoices, preposting can be used to make sure that the posting of the supplier debt is always connected to a cost center. The cost center cannot be determined by a supplier group, user group, etc. In this case it is possible to specify that the code part cost center is controlled by preposting for IP1 Supplier Debts (in Accounting Rules/ Posting Rules/Posting Control Navigator).
The preposting code string will be used for all posting types that have preposting as control value for a code part. Define posting control information in Accounting Rules/Posting Rules/Posting Control Navigator.
The preposting code string will be used when posting lines are created for all posting types that have preposting as control value for a code part. In case the Affect Line Postings check box is selected, each new posting line entered will get the retrieved preposting code string.
