Field help (SAUTFAETYP)

The category is set up in the journal type.
The accounting journal category can take one of the following values:

Actual:
The actual journal can also be viewed and printed (GL, Balance, etc.). The document is integrated into the balance when said document is saved.

Active simulation/inactive simulation:
Once activated, the simulation journal is also integrated to the inquiries and print-outs. It can be converted into an actual journal or de-activated in order to become an inactive simulation journal (that is to say it is not visible in inquiries and print-outs: for instance, the physical stock count postings).
 A period of a ledger type cannot be closed until the simulation postings have been either converted to actual postings or cancelled. The status of the simulation journals is changed using the processings of the Accounting functionality.
