Position Balances ex Reports
Table of Contents
1 Brief Description
The POSSAL displays the current overview of the position balances of one or more companies or business units or groups for the respective selected fact and period.
Position balances are generated at the level of partnership charts of accounts or the group chart of accounts, depending on the chart of accounts indicator of the facts. The setting is for Bil/GuV reports (report type = 'E') and Cash Flow reports (report type = 'F'), if the field Control Position Balance Output = 'S' (with position balance output) is used in the report header record (REP/REPK) or Set 'P' (with position balance output with gender). Position balances are generated for positions:
- with account assignments according to POST with value indicator '1' according to report definition (REPZEI)
- without account assignments for total lines with value indicator '0' according to report definition (REPZEI)
The report name (Report-Ident) is then entered in the source field (HerkRep).
At Group level, the values of prorated companies are already according to their holding percentage. Companies with a consolidation method = 'E' (Equity) or 'K' (no inclusion) are not taken into account for account balances.

3 Column Headers
Please refer to the tooltip for the significance of the abbreviated column headers. This will appear if you use the mouse to stay on a column header.
The data in the column 'BG' (Bil/GuV indicator) is read from the table POS.
4 Actions
Data from this table cannot be manually collected or changed. The individual record application POSSALE can therefore only be accessed via the actions <displays> and <delete>.
The row actions Account balances, Postings and Consolidation Postings branch into the overviews for displaying the report data underlying the item balances. To branch into the consolidation postings, the row must contain the specification of a group/Tk.
The position-account-Assignments action within POSDEF can be used to display which accounts make up the respective position.

The POSSAL application is subject to the customary restrictions regarding the user’s object authorizations for groups/sub-groups, companies, billing periods and data types when displaying data.
