Automate Clearing of SPGL GL Item(not DP/BOE)

Hello,
We are trying to automatically clear a underpayment deemed as deduction assigned to SPL GL Ind with a normal credit memo. F,13 doesnt clear SPL GL Items. we are using FOAPPROC01 and 2 and they seem to be not working either. would anyone know standard SAP on how to automate clearing of SPL GL without having to creating anything custom
-Deepak

Hi Deepak,
You cannot run automatic clearing for special GL with normal credit memo. Because these are posted with 2 different GL accounts. You have to clear it manually.

EBS: Automatic clearing of customer open items

Hi Experts,
I am setting up the electronic bank statement with format MT940 structured with field 86. As part of the scope, business is requesting to ensure that customer open items gets cleared automatically when the bank statement is uploaded through transaction FF.5. Because bank statement contains entries relating to payments by customers into the bank account.
But here the problem is that customers will provided ONLY the name. They do NOT provide either the invoice reference number (XBLNR) or our accounting document number (BELNR).
I have searched a lot and found out that I can use the BAdI FIEB_CHANGE_BS_DATA to get the SAP customer number from the customer name given in Notes to Payee fields of MT940. Kindly correct me if I am mistaken.
Now from the derived customer number, I need to find out the related open items which match with the amount given in MT940. So, how does the system know which open items can be cleared for the given amount. Because the paid amount (by the customer) can be for an individual invoice or for a couple of invoices together. Do I need to use the enhancement user exit FEB00001 to specify the system to use fields "Distribute by age" and "Automatic search" field in transaction F-32 ?
Or is there any other better way of achieving this objective of automatic clearing of open items. Asking our customers to provide the invoice reference number is not an alternative since it has already been tried a lot for long without any result. So, business has requested for the set up in our system to ease this process of automatic clearing of open items.
Thanks you so much for your time to help me on this. I will be waiting for your kind responses.
Regards,
Sridhar

Hi Experts,
I got this resolved by using the enhancement FEB00001. If the field "Distribute by age" is activated through this enhancement, then system will be able to match the paid amount and the combination of open items for automatic clearing. If there is no exact match, then automatic clearing through FF.5 is not possible as indicated in SAP Note 124655.
There is no more necessity to use BAdI FIEB_CHANGE_BS_DATA. Complete relevant logic can be maintained directly in the enhancement itself.
Have a nice day.

Automatic Clearing of Vendor Open Items

Hi All,
I have made settings in OB74 for Doc type "S" giving recon acct of vendors and creteria as Assignment field.
Now i have posted a down payment for 50000 and and a invoice for Rs70000. giving Vendor no in the assignment field as common.
Now if i run F.13, it is not clearing both the doc. Is it necessary to have the amounts equal to clear a down payment against a invoice of a particular vendor.
regards
jaya

Hi,
You need to have amounts same. However, items varying with amounts can be posted but provided a tolerance has to be maintained for clearing of the same.
But in your case, I dont think thats the right logic.
Best way is to clear it manually posting another line item for the remaining amount.
Good Luck!

Automatic Clearing of customer open items during FEBP

Hello All
I have a requirement whereby the customer open items need to be cleared using the XBELNR field reference. The bank statement is in FINSTA format. There are legacy invoice numbers which also come in through the statement.
We don't want to do manual post processing through FEBa/FEBAN.
Is there any way out for this scenario?
Thanks and Regards

Hi
Just run FEBP as a nightjob after the Finsta have been imported, and create one variant per company code. I works perfect for us.
If you provide me with you email, I can send you a dump screen of our variants.

Automatic Clearing - Open Item GL Account

Dear Friends,
We have created the Bank Clearing Account as an open item management account. The account would be credited while making the payment to the vendor thru automatic payment run and debited once the payment has been cleared from the Bank. We would like to do the automatic clearing of the open items like GRIR account. Could you please advise what maintenance is to be done on the Config side and which T Code is to be used.
Thanks for the help!
Regards

Dear Raj,
Bank clearing accounts is used to for Bank Reconciliation purpose . If you like to automate this process you have to configure Electronic Bank Statement process. You can check the below links

Automatic Payment Run - Clearing of the Open Items

Dear Forum,
We have an issue with the clearing of the open items in the Bank Clearing Account. While creating the payment run, the credit to the Bank Clearing Account happens with the Value Date getting updated in the Assignment Field. However, after we import the Electronic Bank Statement, we do not find the Value Date updated in the Assignment Field in the entry for debit to the Bank Clearing Account, and instead some other reference appears in the Assignment Field. The issue is in such a case how could we perform the automatic clearing of the open items. Is it that we need to do some maintenance in SAP or do we need to get some thing done on the Bank side.
Also if the criteria for clearing the open items is value date, how would the system behave in case the value date is same for two identical items and only one has been cleared from the Bank...how would the system know which one to be cleared.
Help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Regards

Hi Raj,
Basically assignment field is used to enter the cheque/ dd number or bank transfer doc number. Thi facilitate the refernce for the system. If you use this then the problem of checks with sam valudate & amount will automatically get resolved.

EBS Customer open items automatic clearing within tolerances

Hi Experts,
We have already implemented Elecronic Bank Statements automatic uploading functionality. As part of this process, customer open items need to be cleared automatically.
As per the standard process, SAP will be able to clear off the open items ONLY if the collection amount (reflected in MT940) is exactly equal to the invoice amount (reflected in the open item). But general practical situation is that customers may under / over pay. For example, if the customer invoice is for USD 100,005 the actual payment from the customer could be for USD 100,000. In this case, it is normal business practice that open item will be cleared off rather than keeping balance USD 5 in ledger and chasing the customer.
So tolerances are already set up both at GL account level (Trans OBA4) and customer level (Trans OBA3) with blank tolerance group with permitted payment difference of USD 15. And no tolerance group is assigned to the customer master. Also account determination is maintained for the differences with nil reason code.
Inspite of all these settings, I am getting an error message indicating that the difference is too large for clearing while trying to upload this bank statement. Here the difference is only USD 5.
My doubts are:
1. Does the standard EBS program RFEBKA00 considers the permitted payment difference tolerances set in transaction OBA4 and OBA3 ? I don't need to post the differences with reason code. That's why account determination is maintained with blank reason code as well.
2. SAP Note 124655 (Point No 3) says that entering reasons for differences is not possible in the standard system through EBS. Does that mean clearing of open items WITHOUT reason code is possible ?
3. SAP Note 549277 (Point No 5) says that even though Note 124655 specifies certain functionalities as not supported in standard system, they can be achieved by customer through user exits. Does that mean it is possible to code in the user exit saying that system should consider the payment difference tolerances for clearing off of the open items ?
Could you kindly let me know your experience with these questions. I will be very glad to hear from you. Thanks for your time.
Warm regards,
Sridhar

Automatic clearing of open items

hi,
we have customers with 'dummy-invoices' in our system.
There is a document in FI with a value of 0,01 Euro on the customer.
this document is an open item and never will be cleared.
is there any possibility for automatic clearing of such open items ? program SAPF124 does the clearing
only when there is a second document, right ?
reg, Martin

Hi,
Clearing is always against counterpart; that's the concept of this funcionality.

Electronic Bank Statement - automatic clearing via Assignment number

Dear all,
when posting our outgoing cheques, the cheque number is copied to the assignment field (via an automatic job). Our cheque numbers have 6 digits.
When we are getting in the bank statement file the cheque number is populated in the 'Note to payee' (same number in "Reference" field), but instead of 6 digits, the bank adds additional 6 digits / zeros infront of the cheque number. Meaning that instead of 005217 we get 000000005217.
We want to use the automatic clearing with the link between 'Note to payee' and 'Assignment field'.
The following settings were done in the system:
1. Posting rules: "4 Clear debit G/L acct"
2. Search string definition:
1. 0 > ' ', 2. 0 > ' ', 3. 0 > ' ', 4. 0 > ' ', 5. 0 > ' ', 6. 0 > ' ', 7. # > #, 8. # > #, 9. # > #, 10. # > #, 11. # > #, 12. # > #
3. Search string use:
- Algorithm 015: Clearing Transaction: Selection Using Assignment
- Target field: Payment Notes
With those settings the system does not find the items to clear.
Does anybody know what is missing?
Thanks!
R, Katharina

We have uploaded MT940 file through /nff.5 .
The posting which has happened after MT940 was uploaded is
Dr Main bank account ( 190220) 500 INR
Cr. Bank Sub Control Account (190228) 500 INR
The entry which is their is sub control bank account posted on
Dr. Bank Sub control Account (190228) 500 INR
Cr. Customer Account 500 INR
Their is no other posting also with 500 in sub control account
But these are not cleared automatically & reflecting in FEBA as to be posted.
Now out 100 trnsaction the success rate of automatic clearing is 30%.
What could be the reason? Is it to do with date etc.
I undertand that clearing against ( two document ) is against some criteria.
then what those criteria are.

EBS- Automatic clearing & posting to customer on-account

Hi FI Experts,
I'm hoping that you can help with the following SAP electronic bank statement (EBS) setup:
In EBS configuration, we have setup posting rule to clear customer sub-ledger (posting type 8). This is achieved using algorithm 31 u2013 Doc number search (customer no from doc line). So when MT940 file - note to payee field has correct doc number (invoice no), system clears the customer open item automatically
Now the requirement is if the note to payee field doesnu2019t contain correct document number (or missing doc number) but has the correct customer number- Is it possible to post the amount to the customer account based on the customer number available in the file? Business team can clear it against the invoice later manually. In summary, if doc number is available system should clear customer open item; if doc number is missing but customer number is available system should post the incoming amount to the customer account.
Is it possible to setup the above logic using standard EBS rules; if yes how? or do you reckon a development is needed?
Appreciate your inputs
Thanks,
Kalyan

Help in automatic clearing

Hiii Experts, i have a General Ledger which is shown TICK(i.e- Posted) instead of open.. and posting a screenshot of FBL3N of General Ledger. I have checked open line management is not maintained for the GL in fs00.. but the client want to run that GL in automatic clearing i.e f.13 and clear it.... i know automatic clearing is for open items and cleared items only.. so is there any way where i can run the GL which is not on open item management in F.13... any way??? Please help
Regards,
Abhay

Hi,
first pls check in OB74 - settings with Assignment field ZUONR criterion1 ,
and but this is only for GL open items clearing in F.13
and whatever you are clearing line items debit / credit should be have same Assignment field

Automatic clearing- proportionate distribution

Hi All,
When we execute the automatic clearing using transaction code FPMA. Clearing should happen according to the below mentioned scenario-
For a business partner there are two debit open items which are $ 20 and $ 30 both the items are due on same date 01/15/2010.
Business partner made a payment on 01/16/2010 for the amount $ 10 , now the client wants the 10 to be distributed proportionally between the two debit open items when we execute the automatic clearing.
For line item $20 the amount it should clear is $ 4 (20/50)10 and for the line item $ 30 it should clear $6 (30/50)10.
I tried all the configuration for the clearing variant with grouping, sorting and clearing rules but couldn't achieve the result.
Your response is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Hi,
thats difficult when I have no detailed example in a system.
You give me following example:
group 1                                                              payment
document 1      20,00       15.1.2010
document 2      30,00       15.1.2010                  50,00
group 2
document 3      10,00       20.1.2010
document 4        5,00       18.2.2010
10,00 should proportionately clearing between group 2 and group 3
group 3
document 5        8,00       18.2.2010
When you as grouping, the grouping charateristic 010 "due date" used then you receives other groups:
group 1
document 1      20,00       15.1.2010
document 2      30,00       15.1.2010
group 2
document 3      10,00       20.1.2010
group 3
document 4        5,00       18.2.2010
document 5        8,00       18.2.2010
You need a other grouping characteristic.
Best regards.

After running f.13 open items not cleared.

Hi Experts,
Though i cleared open items of Gl through f.13, but still it is showing as open item in FBL3n report.
the GL is of Provision a/c.
Edited by: poonam laddha on Dec 30, 2008 12:15 PM

Hi,
System will clear the debit and credit transactions for a GL account based on the criteria maintained in OB74 - table TF123.
It does not matter whether it is for the same document or different documents. At the time of automatic clearing, It will search for the items which matches the given criteria and clear it.
Thanks,
