Creating internal supplier account definition – An overview

An internal supplier account is defined when payments are made to internal suppliers and is based on a source and destination business unit or company. Methods of defining an internal supplier payables account are:

You can define an account for the combination of the source BU and the destination BU. The account defined for the combination of source BU and the destination BU cannot be mapped to another combination.
The accounts can also be defined for the source BU and Destination Company. In this case the transaction entry will fall into the same account for all the BU under the destination company.
The accounts can also be defined if the source BU and the destination BU belong to different company. In this case the accounts defined will behave like a inter company accounts.

For every combination of source company, business unit, destination company and business unit, a supplier payables account, a supplier prepayment account and a supplier deposits account can be mapped. The date from which these defined accounts are effective can also be specified. These account definitions are saved under the respective destination business unit and company. In cases when all the business units of the destination company are selected, then the system saves the account definitions under every destination business unit.
