Hi Gurus,

Document No and clearing Document No are generated against sale to customer

and without sale also means when we take advances from customer without any sale.

Hi,

If you are managing the GL with Open Item, then when you post any document it will be open and when you clear this amount with another entry, then clearing document is generated.

Hi,

When you made sale to the customer the system generates the Document no.

When the customer clear the due, it is Clearing doc. no. againast that the same we made to the customer.

These two different transaction are identified with two different document types.

Hi Amith,

Document Number Means-The document number is the key the system uses to access the accounting document.

The document number is unique per company code and fiscal year. When entering an accounting document, you can specify the number manually or it can be determined by the system from a pre-defined area (number range).

The relevant area of the document numbers (number range) is determined in each company code per document type.

& Clearing Document- Number of the document with which the line item was cleared.

Hope this will help you.

Regards
