Correspondence Processing Methods

You set up correspondence methods to associate batch types and document types with predefined methods by which the system processes account transactions. The predefined methods that you associate to batch types and document types are:

Method Number	Method Description	Use
01	Direct correspondence between two concurrent lines in the F0911 table.	Assign this method for fixed asset transactions, such as depreciation records.
02	Direct correspondence between a debit line and a credit line in the F0911 table by amount.	Assign this method for inventory transactions when there is one debit line for each credit line with the same amount, but the lines are not necessarily concurrent.
03	Correspondence between one debit line and several credit lines, or between several debit lines and one credit line in the F0911 table.	Assign this method to have the system process transactions using the lowest level of detail. If a transaction to which you assign this method has multiple debits and credits, the system first matches debit and credits which have the same amount, and then applies a percentage to the remaining lines.
04	Correspondence between several debit lines and several credit lines	Assign this method to document types for which the system writes multiple debit and credit lines to the F0911 table. The system determines a percentage to apply to the credit and debit lines.

If the system cannot identify the correspondence method to use for a transaction because there is no association between a document type and a method, the system uses method 04 for the transaction.
