Reconciliation - concepts and design considerations

The integration mapping scheme setup and the reconciliation data must be thoroughly considered prior to implementation. The most suitable and informative setup can only be designed with a good understanding of the integration mapping and reconciliation possibilities and after an accurate analysis of your business processes.

This topic describes the integration transaction handling concepts and components that are specific for reconciliation and analysis and provides a number of general guidelines for the setup.

Guidelines summary

In summary, the main guidelines are the following:

  • Do not map integration document types of multiple reconciliation groups to the same ledger account.
  • Assign the reconciliation elements very carefully. The most specific reconciliation element must have number 5.
  • If you enable period handling exceptions, which permits the posting of transactions to the next Open period, this can make the reconciliation more complex.
Note

The setup of the integration mapping scheme and the setup of the reconciliation data are two independent processes. However, the design of the integration mapping scheme can be influenced by your reconciliation requirements.
