Checking postings

First check the reports of the closings before checking individual postings. The Overview at closing date in particular helps you to obtain an overview of all the balances and thus the overall situation of the project. It is also advisable to take a look at the Average rate development report at the beginning. If there are unusual average rate deviations, this report will help you to spot them more quickly than in the posting overview.

Then start checking the postings. If you find any errors, follow the Correcting postings guide.

NOTE:

To view postings, you need one of the following user roles:

Project finance manager

Project accountant

Project controller

Project financial auditor

To upload or update digital vouchers, you need the Digital vouchers editor user role. To mark digital vouchers as checked, you need the Digital vouchers auditor user role.

Examples

Use the table settings to check the content of the postings of a month-end closing. Your organisation decides what you should check exactly and what requirements are to be met so that a closing can be marked as Verified. The following examples illustrate how you can systematically control accounting data. If you regularly check certain posting data, save your table settings in user-defined views to save time.
