Dear all,
I have not been able to locate the term in the SAP glossary and I have unsuccessfully tried to translate it manually
using Google Define. There is a LEO entry but LEO is not my first choice for accounting terms and I do not know what to do with that English entry there.
This is from the realm of ERP, Enterprise Resource Planning software. The company assessed in the report sells physical goods as a dealer rather than as a manufacturer.
DE:
Sachbuchungen
Or is it Sachkontenbuchungen?
Context:
Da SAP das führende Buchhaltungssystem ist, müssen im neuen ERP-System keine manuellen ***Sachbuchungen*** durchgeführt werden. Lediglich die Buchungen, die aus den Kundenaufträgen resultieren, finden Berücksichtigung in der Schnittstelle zu SAP.
...
Inwieweit die Sachbuchungen aus der Lagerregulierung an SAP übergeben werden können, muss in der Detailanalyse geklärt werden.
Thanking you good people kindly for any informed or intuitively formed input,
Best regards,
Sebastian Witte

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Actually based on my accounting translator intuition, and in line with Ted's comment, which comment picks up on a previous KudoZ answer he was involved with back then, I decided to put general ledger entries, regardless of the "official" SAP wording for Buchung, but I understand your answer is along or mostly along those lines anyway. Thanks very much for your fine contribution. "
