When posting sales, purchase, or general journal documents, the system automatically processes the entered deferral information.

Automatic processing

During posting, the system checks:

• whether a deferral template exists,
• which calculation type is selected,
• whether start and end dates are complete and valid.

If the prerequisites are met, the deferral information is transferred into further processing.

Impact of changes

If relevant fields are changed before posting, for example:

• amount,
• quantity,
• start date,
• end date,
• deferral template, or
• calculation type,

the values are validated again and recalculated if required.
