  An interim account is a type of account in SAP Business One (SBO) that is used to temporarily store financial information.

Interim accounts are not included in the general ledger and are not used for reporting purposes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Interim accounts can be used to track the progress of a transaction, such as an invoice or payment. When a transaction is initiated, an interim account is created and the transaction is recorded in the interim account. As the transaction progresses, the interim account is updated with the latest information. Once the transaction is finalized, the information in the interim account is transferred to the general ledger.
