Automatic Clearing

[rajesh_vasudeb]

Dear Friends,

Can anybody provide a solution as to how Payment on Account ocurring by main/sub 0060/0010 is to be cleared with the next Invoice raised by Main/sub 100/20.

Rajesh,

You need to create Payment Allocation rules <Account maintenance> for your requirement.

This shall clear your items as required. For this you may need to run FPMA.

Hope this helps.

Dear Sir,

Could you please explain how to setoff the Payment on Account against Next bill.

Like where to maintain, whether in " Define Clearing Variants" as Clearing Steps or in

"Define Defaults for Account Maintenance" as clearing steps by giving Main/Sub.

Thanks and Regards

Rajesh,

You need to define clearing steps in IMG>FICA>Basic Functions -->Open Item Management --> Clearing Control > Clearing Variants>Define Clearing Variants

Group String

001 - Cocd

Sorting String

010-Due Date

Group Rule

Amount Rule- 5

Now you need to assign the variant in Account maintenance

IMG>FICA>Basic Functions -->Open Item Management --> Clearing Control > Define Specifications for Clearing Types>Define Defaults for Account Maintenance

For clearing Type 04, you should assign Clearing variant defined above.

Do remember that this is not foolproof but shall help you in identifying the steps needed to set off OI with OP.

Hope this helps?

Thanks for the answer.

But still , the 'Payment on Account' is not getting cleared or set off with any other items. Should we have to maintain the Main/Sub in "Selection Criteria" in General Clearing variant.

Sir,

I included it in 'item selection' and when a new Invoice is raised, the 060/10 is getting picked up and sett off done in the print Doc. but the no posting appears in FPL9.

Why do not you try with FICA doc first then your Invoice next??????..Post a doc using FPE1, FP05 on account payment then try with FPMA.....Instead of trying with complicated ones....

For your Invoice guess , you need to maintain sub item in Sort String along with Due date.

under img>financial accting> contract accounts receivable and payable> basic functions> open item management> clearing control

> clearing variants - you define settlement rules

> define specifications for clearing types - you can define how and when it is cleared

In brief, clearing may occur in following:

batch automatic clearing FPMA

online transaction FP06

invoicing

payment

under img> sap utilities> Invoicing> Invoice processing> item selection in invoicing

> Item Selection in Account Maintenance/ Define Sub-Items - you define which item to include

Hope it help

Hi

Check the config for :

Maintain Main Transaction

Maintain Sub Transaction

Then Check

Define Clearing Account Category

Define Sample For contract Account Category

Also check the contract account via caa2 for the bp and see its shows there.
