The posting logic of the returns lot is as follows:
- The receivable posting in contract accounting creates – after reconciliation key transfer – a posting on the general ledger’s receivable and the revenue account (tax is not shown).
- The company-initiated payment run is triggered in contract accounting and clears – after reconciliation key transfer – the general ledger’s receivable account against the bank clearing account and creates the outgoing payment medium.
- The payment in general ledger accounting clears the bank clearing account against the bank account.
- The incoming bank statement in general ledger accounting post the incoming returns on the bank account against the returns clearing account and creates a returns lot when it is uploaded. In this example, the returns total amount is 10 EUR higher than the original payment which is considered later as a bank charge.
- The returns lot processing in contract accounting distributes all returns of the lot to re-open the items (clearing reversal) and – after reconciliation key transfer – in the general ledger’s receivable account as well.
- The difference amount of 10 EUR is posted in general ledger accounting on the returns expenses account against the returns clearing account.
- The difference amount of 10 EUR is passed on to the business partner in contract accounting and – after reconciliation key transfer – on the returns receivable account against the returns revenue account in general ledger accounting.
- The returns charge is posted in contract accounting and – after reconciliation key transfer – on the returns receivable account against the returns revenue account in general ledger.
