• Key Concepts: 
  Accrual type is a feature in SAP Business One (SBO) that allows users to record and track the accrual of expenses and income. Accrual type is used to record transactions that have occurred but have not yet been paid or received. This feature helps users to keep track of their financial obligations and income, as well as to plan for future expenses and income. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Accrual type can be used in SBO by creating an accrual type account in the Chart of Accounts. This account will be used to record all transactions that are not yet paid or received. When a transaction is recorded, the user will enter the amount of the transaction, the date of the transaction, and the accrual type account. The user can then view the accrual type account in the Chart of Accounts to see all transactions that have been recorded. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using accrual type, it is important to remember that all transactions must be recorded in the same currency. This will ensure that all transactions are accurately tracked and reported. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all transactions that have been recorded in the accrual type account so that they can be reconciled with actual payments or receipts when they occur. 
  
  Related Information:
