Hi

Every transaction will be stored in the form of document in the SAP R/3 System. I mean minimum two two entries i.e. debit and credit balance would be zero.

The storage location is nothing but document.

We have different transactions to post entries.

GL Entries

AR Entries

AP Entries

Asset Accounting Entries

Controlling Entries

Material related Entries

Sales related entries.

SAP R/3 System identies the document type for to book the different types of transactions. we are going to call as document types

SA - Stands for journel entries - GL documents (T.code: OBA7)

AB - allows all types of postings (in general reverse type of transations)
