SAP Certified Application Associate – SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement – Upskilling (2021) — Question 24

In your company, you are posting an invoice with a cash discount amount using the posting gross method.
What is the result of this in the system?

Answer options

• A. The cash discount amount is credited to the stock or cost account.
• B. The cash discount amount is NOT considered; it is only posted to a cash discount account when the payment is made.
• C. The cash discount amount is posted to a cash discount clearing account, which is cleared at the time of payment.
• D. The cash discount amount is posted from a cash discount clearing account to the stock account or cost account.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because, under the posting gross method, the cash discount is not accounted for until the actual payment occurs. Options A, C, and D incorrectly suggest that the cash discount is recorded or transferred at the time of posting the invoice, which is not the case in this method.
