Understanding SPED Book Type Definitions

You use the Book Type Definition program (P76B935) to set up information about the SPED books that you must report. You specify the purpose of the book, the order in which it appears in the file, the book type, and other related information. You also specify the ledger type from which the system reads the transaction information for the SPED book.

The system stores the data that you enter in these tables:

• SPED Book Type Definition (F76B935)

  This table stores information about the main SPED books.

• SPED Book Type Relation (F76B936)

  This table stores the auxiliary book information.

• SPED Book Ledger Types (F76B937)

  This table stores the ledger type that you associate with the book type. The system selects transactional information for blocks I and J according the period, company, participant/subsidiary companies and the ledger type corresponding to the book for the job that you run.

You use the data that you set up for SPED books when you set up jobs to generate the electronic files for SPED FCont reporting. You use the FCONT SPED Job Administrator program (P76B940) to set up and run a job for each book that you set up in the Book Type Definition program.
