Automatic clearing - Grouping rules

Hi All,
I try to configure the automatic clearing process but unfortunatelly the grouping variants don't work:
First rule: group by DFKKOP-XBLNR and DFKKOP-ZZ_RST3
Second rule: group by DFKKOP-XBLNR
Posting 1: xblnr = A / zz_rst3 = B / 10 EUR
Posting 2: xblnr = A / zz_rst3 = B /-10 EUR
Posting 3: xblnr = A / zz_rst3 = C / 30 EUR
Posting 4: xblnr = A / zz_rst3 = D /-30 EUR
I would like to clear:
1.- Posting 1 and 2 together
2.- Posting 3 and 4 together
Is it possible to do it without programming? I have changed in customizing grouping rules (blanc, 1, 2, 3), but it doesn't work. My results changing the grouping rules are: I clear all the postings together or I only clear the posting 1 and 2.
Your response is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
maresp

Hi,
thank you for your answer!
Grouping rule 5? I have in customizing only 4 options for the automatic clearing (blanc, 1, 2, 3, 4)
Cheers

GRIR - Criteria set in OB74 - Additional rule for automatic clearing

Hi,
WIth reference to the subject of this post, I would like to have advice on the commonly used criteria for the GRIR GL account.
My GL master for this GRIR settings: sort key is 010: Purchase order no., which is EBELN (Tcode: OB16).
Currently the settings at OB74 - Additional rule for automatic clearing for my GRIR are as follows:
DMBTR, Amt.in loc.cur.
ZUONR, Assignment
EBELN, Purchasing Document
My issue is due to the criteria of DMBTR, Amt.in loc.cur, I am not able to clear the GRIR GL using F.13, and after I remove the criteria: DMBTR, Amt.in loc.cur, I manage to clear all my GR and IR entries which have 0 balance in amount in local currency.
KIndly advise.
P/S: DO I need to have the following settings, additionally?
Define Tolerance Groups for G/L Accounts
Define Tolerance Groups for Employees
Assign Users to Tolerance Groups
Create Accounts for Clearing Differences
Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

Need userexit / badi / bte to enhance the automatic clearing rules

Dear All,
My requirement is to enhance the automatic clearing rules for tcode ff_5.
Program RFEBKA00 will upload bank statement items based on the external transaction codes provided by the banks .
The standard posting rules will clear a GL bank account using a set of algorithms for further interpretation set of standard algorithms do not meet the clearing criteria.
Hence I need userexit / badi / bte to enhance the automatic clearing rules. EXIT ZXF01U01 / FEB_BADI are triggering before posting the document.
So we cannot use these. Please suggest me regarding the same.
Thanks in advance

Automatic Clearing Rule for Customers

Hi,
I have a query regarding Automatic clearing rules for the Customers.
I want to clear all the debit balances against all credit balances for each customer (irrespective of the assignment). The exact amounts are not matching though.
Can this be configured for Cusomers in 'Automatic Clearing Rules'?
Please Advise.
Thanks in Advance,
Safi

Hi,
You can use the transaction code F-32 to clear debit and credit items of a customer account. You can only clear open items from one account. You can use this function to clear debits and credits that balance to zero (for example, invoices and payments that have already been entered into the customer account).
Reward points if it is helpful.
Thanks

Clearing control and Automatic clearing

Hello,
1.Why Automatic clearing(Business Transactions) is different from Clearing Control?
2.How Automatic clearing is linked to the Contract account?
3.Is it possible to mention both automatic clearing control and clearing control at two different fields so that based on my rquirement it should pick up automatically for to clear the open items through FPY1(payment Run)
4.How to overrule the clearing control settings for the contract account for to auto pick off Automatic clearing?
Regards,
Narn

Naren,
1.I hve looked into Auto clearing process but Can you give an example for to make me clear..
Best example is that you migrate your open items and open payments separately and you want to Set off open items and Open payments using some rules. This is done via FPMA.
2.Is that function module need to create user defined characterstic key?
You need to copy the standard, modify and attach it in the config in clearing rules
3.Can u explain clearly how the sytem is auto pickick off Automatic clearing over clearing control for certain grouped due items
It all depends on how you configure your clearing rules.
Criteria may/can be any or few of the following:
1. Oldest item first
2. When Invoice and Amount matches
3. When Invoice and Amount matches but with in Tolerance limits
4. When Invoice and Amount matches but outside Tolerance limits
5. Partial payment- to be posted as On Account or Clarification Account
6. Partial Payment to be posted to Division Gas first
7. If Parital Payment, to be divided among Gas, Electricity & Water in 50:40:10 ration <some ratio>
8. Treatment of partial payments different for Group Customers and Individual Customers
9. Treatment of Partial Payments to be linked to your Creditworthiness
10.Clearing Rules based on Collective and Non Collective CAs'
Much more......it all depends on how this is needed in your project & usually differs from Project to Project.
Does this help?

Automatic clearing using MRKO

I'm not sure whether this thread belongs in FI or MM but I just took a chance and posted it in MM.
We have our normal GR/IR account set up for automatic clearing via F.13 once the WE and the RE are in balance.
However, we have a different GR/IR account (211100) for our pipeline materials. However, on the G/L side, once an MRKO document is generated, there is no clearing. I tried to clear the WA docs against the MRKO doc,via F.13 but I was told that no clearing docs were generated.
Is there anyway to effectively use open item management on 211100 to show which goods movements go with which MRKO doc and therefore which documents remain "open" with no liability created to the vendor.
Any information you have would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Josh

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.

G/L automatic clearing using f.13-Problem

Hi
I am trying to clear G/L using F.13 auto clearing function.Selected debit&credit item balance is not ZERO but with minor difference of 0.02.
When I selcted the buttin"include tolerences" and run the program it is not clearing the documents saying 0.02 is too large to clear the difference.
I have made the following settings in SPRO.
1.Tolerence limits were fixed to groups and id is properly assigned to the group.
2.Defined revenue&expenditure accounts for automatic posting of differences under "settings for clearing program unders open item processing(G/L account).
Why is it not clearing very small diff ??
Am I correct in my understanding that "include tolerences" means SAPF124 program writes of small differences(with in tolerence limts) to defined accounts and clear the document?
regards
Henfi

Hi
Can you send the steps for automatic clearing with tolerance limit

GL account automatically cleared by the bank statemetn document

Hello all,
I would like to ask you a question.
We have done the payments by payment run to the vendor , FI document 2000008482 has been created, Then we received the bank statement which created the document 101481822 and the GL account used for this payment 2435000022 was automatically cleared by this bank statement documents 101481822
Usually they do manual clearing by f-03 but for the accoutn 2435000022 its automatic
I have 2 questions
1. where in customizing you set up this option that the GL account is automatically cleared when posting bank statement
2. if they need to reverse payment document, how this could be possible? as if they want to reset the clearing docuemtn, they would have to reverse the bank statement document
thanks for your feedback, its reallt apprecited
regards
Hana

You should feel happy if the system clears the payment document. This what the behavious is expected.
When you made the payment it goes to bank sub account, then when you upload the bank statement, then the system expects to clear based on the cheque number etc.
However, if you do not want you can still stop them from clearing and then entry only gets posted. But again, you will be doing the same job what the system is doing by using F-03 or F.13
Please check your posting type against the posting rule
SPRO ==> Bank Accunting ==> Business Transactions ==> Electronic Bank Statement -==> Make Global Settings for Electronic Bank Statement ==> Posting Rules

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

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.

How configure GR/IR Automatic Clearing

Hi Friends,
How I configure GR/IR Automatic Clearing. Whatu2019s the path in SPRO t-code. Please help me.
Regards,
Hemant Maurya

Hi,
To set up automatic clearing, follow the path below:
Financial Accounting-> General Ledger Accounting -> Business Transactions-> Open Item Clearing -> Prepare Automatic Clearing
Here you can define rules for matching documents while clearing the GR/IR or any other account. You have the option of setting 5 matching criteria.
As an example, you can use the following 2 criteria for matching in GR/IR account:
EBELN (PO number) EBELP (PO Line item).

Automatic clearing in electronic banking

Hi all,
I'm working with the electronic banking program to import statements and want to clear items from sub ledger accounts automatically.
From the tests I have done so far, it seems that SAP always tries to locate the business partner via the bank details FIRST. In other words:
IF business partner bank details are provided in the electronic bank statement
THEN SAP takes this as leading in order to determine the business partner
I do not want SAP to start the search via the bank account details. I have been using interpretation algorithm 020 (doc.number) and 031 (doc.number and customer from document) but still SAP always starts searching for the business partner based on the bank details.
My test case is as follows:
- I have a customer A without bank details maintained
- I have a vendor B with bank details maintained
- Customer A is in fact the SAME business parter as vendor B although they are not linked in their master data
Now Customer A makes a payment to me and the bank provides the bank details of the customer AS WELL AS the invoice number. SAP then starts matching and finds vendor B because the customer bank details are maintained in the vendor master. Clearing from the vendor does -of course- not take place because the invoice exists on the customer, not the vendor. So a payment advice is created which holds the vendor account AND the invoice number.
I cannot get SAP to avoid finding the vendor, and instead, find the customer with help of the document number that is also in the bank statement file.
Hope the case is clear, any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Hi Jay,
Open items for G/L Accounts, Vendors and Customers can be cleared automatically by running the Clearing Program
Set up predefined criteria for automatic clearing (Configuration)
Program groups those items from an account that have the same
u2022 Trading Partner ID
u2022 Reconciliation Number
u2022 Currency in which the General Ledger is updated
u2022 Four freely definable criteria
The program groups together items from an account that have the same reconciliation account number, currency, and Special G/L indicator, as well as pre-defined criteria from the document header or item such as the allocation field, reference number and amount.
If the balance, in local currency, of the items within a group is zero, the system automatically clears them and creates clearing documents.
Prerequisites for using the automatic clearing program:
u2022 Accounts must be managed on an open item basis.
u2022 Accounts to be cleared must be defined in customizing.
The automatic payment program does not clear noted items, statistical posting, down payments, bills of exchange and items with withholding tax entries.
When clearing open items in a foreign currency, differences may occur due to fluctuations in exchange rates. The system automatically posts these differences as realized gains or losses.
Config: IMG>FA>GL. Accounting>Business transactions>Open item clearing>Prepare automatic clearing.
AS well see the notes for better understanding.
Hope it gives better understanding.
Respectfully,
Vyas

How to get Mail in iOS 7 to automatically clear unread email badge

I thought that the whole new background app refresh in iOS 7 would help this issue.....
I like that I can look at my iPhone 5s running iOS 7.0.2 and see that I have unread emails from the red badge on Mail
However, if I do not use the iPhone to read those emails and I instead use my iMac, I thought that the badges on the Mail icon on the iPhone would automatically clear with the combo of using the push server an background app refresh.
However, even if I read emails on my iMac, the Mail badge on the iPhone will not clear unless I launch Mail on he iPhone.
FB badges go away if I check FB on the computer.
Why not Mail?
And is there any way to fix this?

To anyone else following this, David and I have exchanged emails. I am the only one seeing this behavior.
There just aren't that many things to tweak in Mail.
1. General settings... nothing to do with this.
2. Accounts... nothing relevent.
3. Junk Mail... nada
4. Fonts & Colors ... no
5. Viewing... Show header detail -- Default, Display unread is selected. Others are not. (Message threading is selected)
6. Composing... Plain Text, Check spelling as I type, Auto complete addresses (no LDAP configured), When sending to a group show all member addresses is selected, Quote the text and increase quote level are selected. and include selected text if any otherwise include all.
not much there.

Automatic Clearing for Customers and Vendors

Hi,
We want to clear the open items at a time for the customers and vendors.
Ex: Cutomer "A" contains 15000 Dr(20 Line items), 12000 Cr(15 Line items) and closing balance 3000 Dr
Now we want to clear the all open items at a time and remaining(3000 Dr) balance for open items.
We don't want Manual Clearing(F-32)
Is this possible through F.13 or others?
Thanks in advance

No you cant
The automatic program groups items from an account together where they have the same
entries in the following fields:
Reconciliation account number
Currency
Special G/L indicator
Five freely defined criteria from document header or line item, for example,
assignment field, reference number, and so on.
If the balance, in local currency, of the items within a group is zero, the system
automatically clears them and creates clearing documents.
All accounts requiring automatic clearing must be defined in Customizing.
The automatic clearing program does not clear:
Noted items
Statistical postings and certain special G/L transactions relating to bills of
exchange
Down payments can only be cleared if down payment clearing items of the
same amount have already been posted.
items with withholding tax entries
