Hi Nivedita!

Noted items are special G/L transactions with informational character which only remind the user about due payments or payments to be made and are not displayed in the general ledger or added to it.

Only one line item is updated if a noted item is created. No offsetting entry is made. That is why no zero balance check is made.

The payment program and the dunning programm can access noted items for further processing.

Noted items are administered as open items in the accounts payable/receivable and the special G/L account. You should therefore always activate the line item display for these accounts.

Examples

Down payment requests, bill of exchange payment requests.

Statistical Item

Automatic offsetting entries (statistical) are always made on the same offsetting account. To simplify the posting procedure, the number of the account for the offsetting entry is defined in Customizing. The system then automatically makes the offsetting entries. If you clear open items in the respective account, the system also automatically clears the respective items in the offsetting account.

These transactions are called statistical postings, since they are generally either not displayed at all in the financial statements or only in the notes to the financial statements. Guarantees of payment made, for example, are displayed in the appendix, but not guarantees received. For internal purposes however, it makes

sense to have an overview of the guarantees received.

I hope you are conceptually clear.

Regards,

Jigar

Special Features of Down Payment Requests Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

When you post a down payment request, the system records a document which is not required for accounting purposes. The document is a noted item. Its function is to remind you to make a down payment. It does not update any debits and credits.

To enter a down payment request, you enter one or more line items in the customer or vendor account without an offsetting entry. Consequently, the system does not check whether the debits equal the credits.

In addition to the line items for the down payment request, the document will also contain tax amounts if the down payment is subject to tax. The tax is posted when you post the down payment.

Down payment requests do not update the monthly debits and credits in customer or vendor accounts.

When you post a down payment request, the system records the line item in a special G/L account. You use this account to get an overview of all the down payments that need to be made.

The system notes the accounts which contain down payment requests. It assigns the document number of the down payment request to these accounts in an index table. The following diagram illustrates this process in Accounts Payable:
