Recurring Entries
In this step, screen templates can be defined for document entry via an
account assignment model. This is similar to the fast entry of G/L account
items.
Postings, which recur time and time again, can be automated using the
recurring entry program. To do this, a recurring entry document needs to be set
up. By executing the recurring entry program at periodic intervals, these
documents can be posted.

However, it may be noted that if corresponding Tax Codes (refer later chapter), for
these Tax Types, are entered at the time of invoice postings (along with
corresponding Tax Codes for Tax Types for “invoice posting”), TDS will be

Hence, it is advised that while Tax Types both for “invoice posting” and “payment
posting” may be stored in the vendor master, corresponding Tax Code must be
stored only for “invoice posting”. While making a down payment to the vendor, the
Tax Code for “payment posting” will obviously appear blank, and needs to be
