This app is set up in the “Delimitation templates”. Below you will find the additional parameters and the extended standard parameters:
General
Deferall Type
This parameter only has an effect if you use the new Start date and End date fields in a document or book page line.
The following options are available.
An example based on the following assumptions is given for each option:
Posting of insurance expense EUR 1,200
Posting date 15.6.2026
Accrual start date: 01.01.2026
Accrual end date: 31.12.2026
Permitted posting period: 01.03.2026 to 31.12.2026
Permitted accrual period: 01.05.2026 to 31.12.2026
Deferral Type
Description
Backdated Posting Date
The total of the accrual amounts of the accrual periods before the current posting period (according to the posting date) are posted in the current period (incl. accrual amount of the current period).
e.g: Posting of EUR 600 as at 30.6.2026
then EUR 100 per month from July
Backdated Posting Period
The total of the accrual amounts of the accrual periods before the current permitted posting period (according to the financial accounting setup) are posted to the first permitted posting period (including the accrual amount of the first permitted posting period).
e.g: Posting of EUR 300 as at 31.3.2026
then EUR 100 per month from April
Backdated Deferral Period
The total amount of the accrual amounts of the accrual periods before the currently permitted accrual period (according to the financial accounting setup) are posted to the first permitted accrual period (including the accrual amount of the first permitted accrual period).
e.g: Posting of EUR 500 as at 31.5.2026
then EUR 100 per month from June onwards
Calulation type with start-/ending date
This parameter only has an effect if you use the new Start date and End date fields in a document or a ledger line. It determines how the accrual amounts are calculated for the individual posting periods.
The following options are available.
An example is given for each option, based on the following assumptions:
Posting of advertising expenses EUR 300
Posting date 15.1.2026
Accrual start date: 12.01.2026
Accrual end date: 10.03.2026
Calulation type with start-/ending date
Description
Linear
The first and last periods are calculated according to actual days (but never more than 30). All other months are calculated with 30 days.
e.g:
January = 20 days = 100 EUR
February = 30 days = 150 EUR
March = 10 days = 50 EUR
Exact per period
Each period in the accrual period is calculated with exactly 30 days - so each month is weighted equally.
e.g:
January = 30 days = EUR 100
February = 30 days = EUR 100
March = 30 days = EUR 100
Days per period
All periods are calculated according to actual days.
e.g:
January = 20 days = 103.45 EUR
February = 28 days = 144.83 EUR
March = 10 days = 51.72 EUR
No Period Check
The “Number of periods” parameter exists in the accrual templates. However, the new entry fields “Delimitation start date” and “Delimitation end date” allow you to delimit a number of periods that differs from this parameter in each line.
You use this parameter to specify whether this should be checked or is permitted.
We recommend deactivating the check for convenient entry of accrual data.
Purchase Default
In a purchase document or in a ledger line with posting type “Purchase”, the accrual template with the check mark “Default value purchase” is transferred to the accrual code when the start and end date are entered - provided the accrual code is empty.
There can only be one accrual template with the “Default value purchase” tick.
For book sheet lines with posting type “empty”, the accrual template with the checkmark “Default value purchase” is also proposed.
Sales Default
In a sales document or in a ledger line with posting type “Sales”, the accrual template with the check mark “Default value sales” is transferred to the accrual code when the start and end date are entered - provided the accrual code is empty.
There can only be one accrual template with the check mark “Default value sales”.
Deferral Schedule
Period description You can now also use the variable %9 in this text field. This is replaced by the “description” of the document line or the ledger line when posting the accrual items.
e.g: “DEFERRALS for %9” becomes
= “DEFERRALS for advertising expenses” when posting a line with the description “Advertising expenses”.
