Posting Types and System Events - Service and Maintenance

This document is used to describe the financial effects of certain business events in IFS/Service and Asset.

Posting Control

Posting control refers to the translation of different business events in IFS Applications into financial transactions. A great part of financial postings are created automatically by predefined posting types and control types in IFS/Accounting Rules. A posting rule is defined by combining a posting type and a control type to build the code string for a certain business event.

It is possible to change the default posting types, control types and allowed combination control types before putting the system online.

Since a transaction can be posted to more than one code part, more than one code part can be defined for a posting type at any given time.

At any given time, only one control type can be defined for a posting type. However, you may define several rules over time by entering different dates in the Valid From field in the Posting Control window.
