Which field of the line item is automatically filled by the sort key field?

Account number
Assignment
Posting date
Document type

The correct answer is: Assignment

The sort key field in SAP Financial Accounting is used to determine the sorting order of line items and helps manage how transactions are recorded in financial documents. When a sort key is defined for a specific line item, it automatically populates the assignment field on that line item. This assignment field is essential for tracking and categorizing transactions and ensures that related line items can be easily grouped together based on the sorting criteria set by the sort key. In other words, the sort key enables SAP to apply a systematic method to manage associated entries within financial postings, ensuring proper alignment of data for reporting and analysis. The automatic filling of the assignment field helps maintain the consistency and accuracy of financial data within the system, making it easy for users to follow the flow of transactions as they pertain to specific accounts.
