SAP OKI2 - Map G/L accounts for Billings Roll-up


To maintain the table mapping GL accounts to sponsor expenditure types, follow the steps below.

Note: If a new cost element is reported on, without being added to the table below (mapping G/L accounts to billings roll-ups), the new cost element will be "rolled up" to the expense type (Service Number) of the next cost element appearing in the table.

For example, if a new cost element 400145 is used (without being added to the table) then it will be rolled up to F400, the Service number/expense type of 400150 (see sample table below).

This can cause errors when creating bills, for example when allowable costs are rolled up to unallowable expense types. To avoid these errors, you should add any new cost element, including its Service number (or expense type for sponsor billing), to the billing roll-ups table, as described below.
