Posting keys VS GL accounts

[former_member1281306]

Hi Experts, I have a pretty basic question. I am trying to understand how the posting key determines the account type.

For example in the t-code F-02 when I enter posting key 40, in the next field Account I can can see all G/L accounts listed as possible entry, But if use posting key 70, I can only see the asset G/L accounts listed as possible entry. When 01 entered for posting key, I can only see the customer account listed possible entries for the account.

I read the posting key control the account type, but I want to understand where the control is happening, I do not remember a place where the posting key and the G/L account is linked directly. Could someone please help me to understand this and how the system filter the possible entries for the account filed based on the posting key.

Thanks

SJ

Hi sarajana

The same is controlled through the posting key configuration in OB41.
