Clearing GL accounts

[Former Member]

Hi,

In the OBYC setting for the GR/IR clearing accounts, two different GL accounts was maintained for debit and credit posting. so the posting was entered in the resp GL account as per the Dr and Cr. Now when i tried to clear the GR/IR account thr'o F.13, I am unable because the dr and cr entires are in 2 different GL accounts. Is there any ways to clear the two GL account or can you advice me how to proceed about it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

GR/IR should be one account only for Dr & Cr. Since in your company it is 2 different GL, then the same needs to be cleared manully.

Secondly, my suggestion will be, create a new GL and change the customisation to only to new gl created for both Debit and Credit. The same can be then cleared in F.13

For older balance, the manual entry needs to posted. By this over a period of time, the older accounts will become NIL.

Hope this helps, if yes, please assign points.

Hi

GR/IR Clearing Account is usually a auto posting account. Its triggered on posting of GR (Goods Receipt - Cr) or IR (Invoice Receipt - Dr) in MM with a corresponding entry to Stock and Vendor respectively. Its follows the best practice of 3 way matching in procure to pay cycle. Account Key BSX (Stock Posting) in OBYC for example determines the posting.

In addition to the above, the following link may help u

Put both the GL accounts in F.13 and try it out. Revert back in case of any problems.
