Amount type for clearing vendor customer documents in FM-BCS

[Former Member]

Hi FM experts,

My client uses SAP FM-BCS for public sector management.

When clearing customer to vendor document in Financial Accounting, a budget document is created in FM.

This document has a value type "57" for payment as well as amount type "0250" for "paid".

Actually, all clearing operations have amount type "0250" in FM.

My question is the following:

Is it possible to distinguish

- clearing that comes from payment so with amount type "0250" from

- clearing that does not come from a payment with another amount type "0XXX"?

Thanks for your answer?

Hi,

You won't be able to distinguish it from amount type: it will be always 0250. However, you can check VOBELNR field (Payment doc. no) in table FMIFIIT, where all this data is stored and based on which reports are working. If you have different number range for payment document and for other clearing documents, you'll have the required information. If the number range is the same, you'll have to search for additional info in BKPF table, but that would be possible only through a self-made report.

Thanks Eli for your answer.

One thing:

So when creating FI document through FB05 transaction with :

- posting key 17 (Other clearing - Customer) and

- posting key 27 (Clearing - Vendor)

==> a FM document is created with amount type "0250 - paid" even though it is not really a payment. Is it normal?

Thanks!

Correct. '0250' presumes clearing, whether it's a real payment or just clearing. There is no difference from PSM-FM point of view.
