SAP: Configure Automatic Postings

What are automatic postings?

Postings are made to G/L accounts automatically in the case of Invoice Verification and Inventory Management transactions relevant to Financial and Cost Accounting.

Example:

Posting lines are created in the following accounts in the case of a goods issue for a cost center:
