Hi Gabriel Borde,

Lets take an example of Masking for determining Check Deposit GL Account

inorder to do this our config steps are..

What We Do:

SPRO->Financial Accounting->Bank Accounting->Business transactions->Check Deposit->Define Posting keys and Posting Rules for Check Deposit.

1. Create account symbol

2. Assign GL accounts to Account Symbol (we use masking here exmple., ++++++++1.

3. Create Keys for Posting rule.

4. Define Posting Rules. (We assisgn Account symbol here)

Then at OT53 we create Transactions for Check Deposit.

here we assing a posting rule to a Transaction.

-


How it works:

Now when a Check Deposit Transaction is executed... at FF68/FF67

We input Bank Key,Bank Account Number then We mention a Transaction.

Now when we mention a Transaction. system looks into this transaction then derives a Posting Rules then system looks into this posting rule then derives a Account symbol, Now in Account Symbol it finds a masked GL account, ie., any Gl account ending with "1". so system looks for All GL account with in mentioned parameters. Here parameters are Bank Key and Bank Account number. And derives the right GL account in that particular Bank Account, though you have multiple bank account with multiple House banks.

Here you might have noted that we did not assigned any House Bank nor a Bank account to a Posting rule. that means that we can use this posting rule to post to any House bank. This is very similar as Variant.
