C_TS4FI Financial Accounting Practice Question
A financial accountant is creating a new G/L account in SAP S/4HANA. The account will be used for posting expenses. The accountant wants to ensure that the account can be posted to directly in journal entries. Which of the following settings must be configured?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse line item display with posting permission; line item display only affects reporting, not posting ability.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The 'Post Automatically Only' checkbox must be deselected.
To allow direct manual postings to a G/L account, the 'Post Automatically Only' indicator must be deselected. This setting, when active, restricts postings to automatic processes only. Deselecting it enables users to enter journal entries directly against the account, which is essential for expense accounts that require manual adjustments.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The 'Account Currency' must be set to the company code currency.
Why it's wrong here
The account currency can be different from the company code currency; it only restricts the currency in which the account can be posted. It does not prevent direct posting. Therefore, setting it to the company code currency is not required for enabling direct postings.
- ✓
The 'Post Automatically Only' checkbox must be deselected.
Why this is correct
The 'Post Automatically Only' indicator, when selected, restricts the account to only automatic postings (e.g., from logistics). To allow direct manual postings in journal entries, this checkbox must be deselected. This is a fundamental control for account usage.
- ✗
The 'Line Item Display' checkbox must be selected.
Why it's wrong here
Line item display controls whether line items are displayed for the account, but it does not determine if the account can be posted to. Even without line item display, an account can be posted to. Therefore, this is not a mandatory setting for posting directly.
- ✗
The 'Reconciliation Account' checkbox must be selected.
Why it's wrong here
Reconciliation accounts are typically used for subledger accounts and are posted automatically from subledgers. Selecting this checkbox would actually prevent direct manual postings, as reconciliation accounts are not meant for direct entry. Thus, it is not required for direct posting.
