Automatic clearing of accounting documents

[Former Member]

We are having an issue with accounting documents for our credit card orders getting cleared automatically as the billing documents are created.  This looks
like a standard SAP functionality.  The orders are created with credit card number and it gets authorized.  When the billing document is created, it posts the  document to accounting and it clears automatically.   Is there any user exit that I can use to not make the document clear automatically?  Which function module does this use to do the automatic clearing of the accounting document?  We also create Repair orders with credit card number in it, but not authorizing the credit card while order creation.  Because it does not authorize the credit card, the accounting document for Repair order does not get cleared automatically which is what we are trying to accomplish for our regular authorized credit card orders also.

Thanks!

Hi anjana,

you can stop the automatic clearing of accounting documents by controlling the additional rules fro automatic clearing.

path: financial accounting new> general ledger acctng new>business transactions>open item processing>prepare automatic clearing.- execute this.

here you can control at 3 levels

1. customer ( from which customer to which customer)

2. vendor (from which vendor to which vendor)

3. gl account level ( from which GL to which gl)

basing on few of the fields as a criteria you can control the automatic clearings

Eric,

  I was never able to find a solution to this problem.  It seemed like SAP standard and we went with other alternatives.

Hi Anjana,

You could block the automatic posting if you mark the Posting Block check box on the billing document configuration (VOFA). This check box is located in General Control.

Thanks Rafael.  But we want it to post to accounting, it is just the clearing part we are trying to avoid.

Hi Anjana, you're right!.

Please check the pricing procedure for account determination payment cards (this makes the clearing if the accounts are found), maybe you need to create/assing a requirement for some steps in the procedure.
