      The author gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a multiplicative arithmetic function of two variables n and k to be a generalized Ramanujan sum of the type studied by \textit{D. R. Anderson} and \textit{T. M. Apostol} [Duke Math. J. 20, 211-216 (1953; Zbl 0050.042)], that is, of the form \(\sum_{d| (n,k)}f(d)g(k/d)\). No sufficient conditions have previously been published.
