SAP Group Reporting - Post manual Journal Entry on Reporting Item

[Geeta6]

Hi All,

We created in Group Reporting the Statement of Cash Flow using reporting rules, however there are some reporting items which needs to be input manually.

Is it possible to post one side Manual Journal Entries on reporting items? Is there a specific document type to be used?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, this is possible.

First, in your CF reporting rules you have to map/link each reporting item, that needs manual posting, to itself. Second, use or create a document type that allows one sided entries.

Thank you for response.

Direct postings to Reporting Items have been possible since the 2021 release. I recommend creating two additional document types, such as C1 and C2 — one for postings without reversals and one with reversals. Alternatively, you may use standard document types like 18 and 19.

Since cash flow adjustments are typically one-sided postings, I suggest using a dummy Reporting Item to record the contra entry.

Additionally, you can use validation rules to restrict postings to specific Reporting Items. For example, document types C1 and C2 can be configured to allow postings only to Reporting Items. You can also implement access controls to enforce this behavior.

Please ensure that the BCF (Bank Cash Flow) functionality is activated for these manual postings.
