The problem: manual accruals cost time and nerves

Every month-end brings the same challenge: accrue invoices on a period basis, calculate amounts, enter journal entries manually, create reversals. SAP Business One has no standard solution for this.

⚠ Time effort: hours or days of manual accrual postings - at every close.

⚠ Risk of errors: forgotten documents, wrong periods, inconsistent postings with an impact on P&L and balance sheet.

⚠ Reversal effort: tracking and creating reversal postings manually - barely manageable as document volume grows.

⚠ Compliance risk: patchy documentation, questions during audits, GoBD requirements hard to prove.

What AbgrenzungPro delivers

AbgrenzungPro closes the gap that SAP Business One leaves in period accruals - directly integrated, without external tools.

Accrual wizard

Pick a document (incoming/outgoing invoice or credit memo) and the wizard calculates the period-based split - monthly, quarterly, or to your specification.

Batch posting

Post all due accrual periods as journal entries with a single click. No line-by-line entry, nothing forgotten.

Reversal and re-creation

Reverse accruals and recreate them if needed. Reversal journal entries are generated automatically.

Overview and control

All accruals at a glance - filterable by status, period, account, and document number. Detail view with period matrix and drill-down into the journal entries.

Cost centre allocation

Allocate accrual amounts across up to 5 cost centre dimensions - configurable directly in the wizard.

Configuration

Centrally configure accrual accounts, default interval, and handling of missing or locked periods. One-time setup, permanently consistent.

Two variants - one product

AbgrenzungPro works in the classic SAP Business One desktop client and in the modern WebClient. Both variants share the same data structure.

FatClient add-on (desktop)

Classic SAP Business One add-on for the desktop client. Installed via the SAP Extension Manager, integrated via the DI API. Runs wherever SAP Business One is installed. Windows with .NET 4.8, DI API integration, Extension Manager deployment.

WebClient extension (browser)

Browser-based version inside the SAP Business One WebClient: dashboard tile with full functionality plus an accrual button right in the document forms for a quick entry. Service Layer API, dashboard tile + document integration, no local client required.

Frequently asked questions

How long does setup take?
Installation and basic configuration are usually completed within 1-2 hours. The add-on creates all required tables and fields automatically on first launch. After that you configure your accrual accounts and the default interval - and can immediately create your first accrual.
Is AbgrenzungPro GoBD-compliant?
Yes. All accrual postings are created as regular journal entries directly in SAP Business One - with full traceability (user, timestamp, source document). The postings are visible in the SAP standard journal and are subject to the same access controls as any other SAP Business One posting.
Which SAP Business One versions are supported?
AbgrenzungPro supports SAP Business One 10.0 (FP2205 or later) on HANA and SQL Server. The FatClient runs on Windows with .NET 4.8, the WebClient variant requires the SAP Business One WebClient with Service Layer.
Does AbgrenzungPro automatically detect documents that need accruing?
No - and that is by design. AbgrenzungPro works wizard-guided: you select the document to be accrued, and the system takes care of calculating the periods and creating the postings. That gives you full control over which documents are accrued.
Can I use the FatClient and the WebClient at the same time?
Yes. Both variants work on the same data structure (UDTs in SAP Business One). An accrual created in the FatClient is immediately visible in the WebClient and vice versa.
How quickly does the investment pay off?
With a typical manual accrual effort of 6-10 hours per month and accounting costs of EUR 50/hour, the monthly saving amounts to EUR 300-500. The rental licence (EUR 79/month) therefore pays for itself from the first month, the purchase licence (EUR 1,490) within 3-5 months.
What are period accruals and why do I need them?
Period accruals (prepaid expenses and deferred income) ensure that expenses and revenues are allocated to the correct accounting period. Example: an annual insurance premium is spread across 12 months. Required under German commercial law (HGB section 250).
Our period accruals still run in Excel - how do I get them into the ERP?
That is the most common starting point for our customers. AbgrenzungPro integrates period accruals directly into SAP Business One: you select the document, the wizard calculates the periods, and the postings land as regular journal entries in SAP - no Excel, no manual transfer.
Why does our month-end closing take 5-10 working days?
Usually it comes down to manual steps: identifying documents that need accruing, calculating amounts, entering postings, tracking reversals. Each of these steps is error-prone and time-consuming. AbgrenzungPro automates the accrual postings and can reduce the time spent on this part of the month-end closing by up to 80%.
Can SAP Business One automate period accruals?
Not in the standard. SAP Business One offers recurring postings but no true period accrual with automatic distribution and reversal. That is exactly the gap AbgrenzungPro fills.
What is continuous accounting and does it help with month-end closing?
Continuous accounting means handling closing tasks on an ongoing basis rather than all at once at month-end. AbgrenzungPro supports this: accruals can be set up at any time, and the batch posting then automatically creates all due postings at period-end. This spreads the workload more evenly.
Can I test AbgrenzungPro before purchasing?
Yes. We offer a free live demo where we show AbgrenzungPro directly in an SAP environment. That way you see the solution in action before making a decision.
How many users can use AbgrenzungPro?
Unlimited. Both the purchase and rental licence include any number of users. There is no user-based licensing.
Does AbgrenzungPro support cost centres and projects?
Yes. Accrual postings inherit cost centres, dimensions, and projects from the source document and apply them automatically with each posting.
