Recurring entries are similar to standing orders with banks for debiting rent, contribution payments, or loan repayments directly. The postings are done by the recurring entry program on basis of the recurring entry documents. In the area of G/L accounting, recurring entries can be used for example, for periodic posting of deferrals and accruals, if there are fixed amounts to be posted. The following data of a recurring entry document remains unchanged: Posting key Account Amounts

You enter the data that only changes occasionally in a recurring entry document. This document does not result in transaction figures being updated. The recurring entry program uses this document to create accounting documents. Scenario You want to post same financial document in each period as recurring expenses. Prerequisites To use this method, you must enter a recurring entry document that the system uses as a reference.

Result: If the date stored in the recurring entry document on which the process is next due to be carried out, matches the date for the calculation period, or is within the specified range, the program transfers the posting data to the specified batch input session. In each program run, only one accounting document is created for each recurring entry document, so a long calculation period does not result in any more than one accounting document. 14.3.1 Processing a Recurring Entry Document Need to post reference document for the recurring document posting.
