Question

Options

• AOne document per accounting principle & one document for all accounting principles
• BSeparate documents for each and every accounting principle
• COne document for all accounting principles
• DOne document per accounting principle

• A
  73% (22)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  7% (2)
• D
  17% (5)

Explanation

When posting a vendor invoice for asset acquisition without a PO reference in SAP parallel accounting, the system generates both a single shared document covering all accounting principles (the leading ledger entry) and individual documents for each non-leading accounting principle - making A the only complete answer.

Why the distractors fail:

• B implies only separate per-principle documents, omitting the shared cross-ledger document entirely.
• C implies a single document covers everything, which ignores that non-leading ledger principles each require their own document.
• D implies only per-principle documents, again missing the shared all-principles document.

Memory tip: Think "1 for all + 1 per each." The system needs a shared baseline document (for all principles together) plus dedicated documents for each principle's specific valuation differences - like a group photo plus individual headshots.
