• Key Concepts: 
  Posting level is a concept used in SAP S4HANA Financial Consolidation to define the level of detail that is used when posting data. It is used to determine which data should be posted to the consolidation system and which should be excluded. The posting level can be set to either “Detailed” or “Summary”. 
  
  How to use it: 
  When setting up a consolidation system, the user must decide which posting level to use. If the user chooses “Detailed”, then all data will be posted to the consolidation system. If the user chooses “Summary”, then only summary data will be posted. The user can also choose to post only certain types of data, such as only financial data or only non-financial data. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a consolidation system, it is important to consider the posting level carefully. If the user chooses “Detailed”, then more data will be posted and this may lead to slower performance. On the other hand, if the user chooses “Summary”, then less data will be posted and this may lead to faster performance.
