ARAccount

The business object Accounts receivable account is a structure
for recording value movements in a company code that concerns receivables or payables for a debtor.

Structure

An accounts receivable account contains transaction figures that show
value movements as a period-related summarized value for the reporting purposes of the accounts receivable ledger.

A distinction is drawn between an accounts receivable account
transaction figure that shows value movements as a summarized value per
posting period, and an accounts receivable account special transaction
figure that shows value movements as a fiscal year-related summarized value that refers to a special general ledger category.


Comment
An accounts receivable account contains the information required by the
company code to provide an illustration of business transactions with a debtor in terms of value.


One value category is defined for an accounts receivable account by
assigning a general ledger account (reconciliation account). Based on
the assignment of this reconciliation account, receivables to debtors
are carried in parallel in the general ledger on general ledger account
level. If receivables are identified per special G/L category, you have to define a chart of accounts item (reconciliation account
determination) to be reconciled in the general ledger. This is a cross-company code assignment.
