If the customer request you to maintain all its entry in one side as receiveable , then you go for negative posting. That means ,all payables are also maintained as receiveables.

Normally, Payable are recorded in other side of Rceiveable. But, now you want to post those payables like, Credit memo, Cancellation as receiveables. So, they will be posted as Negative receiveable.

To do this ,you have to activate the "Negative posting " field in the Billing document type in t.code VOFA.

Remember, you have to activate this field(Negative posting) for the billing type which are Payables(e.g, Credit memo or Cancellation) and not for the receiveables (e.g, F2 or Debit memo ), beacuse you are showing payables as receiveables.

By Negative posting there is no effect in Accounting and Negative posting is possible only if permitted by the Company code.

This is in detail about Negative posting.

Reward with point if useful.

Hi Pradyumna

If we set negative posting in VOFA then where we can check whether it is working or not? Is it in FBL5N or FD10N ?

Hi,

Negative Posting: A posting that decreases the transaction figures in the account posted to.

Hi,

Reverse and adjustment postings are also called as negative postings. Negative postings are used to reduce the transaction figures in G/L accounts or customer or vendor accounts. This allows you to give the transaction figures the status they would have had without posting the reversed document and its reversal document. and hence called as negative posting.

it is purely a financial activity which is used to correct a wrong entry by making another wrong posting.

Thanks
