Notes:

The program transfers doubtful receivables to a special G/L account. A separate program (SAPF104) generates the necessary provisions for the transferred receivables.

It reads all open items in a customer account, and if an item's balance per invoice reference number is greater than zero and the transfer posting deadline is reached, it clears the item and posts a new item with the specified special G/L indicator. If credit memos were posted without invoice reference to the account, it also makes a transfer posting for them in order to reduce the amount of provision already made.

The system converts the deadline for transfer postings that you defined as months in Customizing for Financial Accounting into a key date.

The postings are put into a batch input session.

Example 1:
A receivable of 100 USD (170 DEM) is due on 03/01/1993. You run this program on 10/01/93 using a provision method that has a transfer posting deadline of 6 months.

You specify special G/L indicator "E" and posting key "09" for the transfer posting. The reconciliation account for this receivable is 140000. The special G/L account is 140050.

The receivable is transferred since the transfer posting deadline has been reached and the amount receivable is greater than zero.

The original document is cleared, and a new receivable is posted to the customer account using special G/L indicator "E". 
100 USD (170 DEM) is debited to account 140050 and credited to 140000.

Example 2:
A credit memo for 100 USD is posted without invoice reference to the same customer account as in the last example.

You run this program again, and it finds that a transfer posting must be made for another invoice for 50 USD.

The credit memo for 100 USD is also transferred since the total amount of doubtful receivables that are already posted and that still need to be posted (100 USD in example 1 and 50 USD in example 2) is greater than the credit memo amount. The transfer of the credit memo reduces the amount of doubtful receivables, which in turn reduces the amount of posted provisions once you run program SAPF104.
