Automatic Clearing through FESR

Dear All,
We are using FESR for posting the customer payments and automatic clearing. While it works for the payments which has no difference but for small differencesit it only post the payments but does not create a clearing document. So we have to run F-32 to be able to clear the such customers. 
Strangely, a tolerence limit is set at company code level that is why it clears through F-32.
Why is it happening, does any one has idea about the settings for FESR? Does it allow payment differences?
Help will be suitably awarded with points.

Hi Vijay,
Please find the pre requisite for posting the incoming Payments thru BESR or VESR
Prerequisites
1. The content of the data carrier must be transferred to a UNIX file. RFESR000 needs a Cleaned-up version, containing records of 100 bytes in length.
If the original file is delivered on MS-DOS diskettes (3 1/2" or 5 1/4"), you can use program RFESR100 to compile. For other data carrier formats, you need to adapt program RFESR100.
2. In the Accounting configuration menu, you must, for each POC subscriber, maintain a Document type, company code, incoming payment account, and payment clearing account, so that you can create batch input sessions.
In the Bank POC; you must also specify the customer ID number. You must not fill this field in the Post POC.
Hope you satisfy all the conditions, as there is no separate clearing rule, there should not be any problem in automated clearing.
Regards
Bharat

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Automatic Customer Clearing through FF_5

    Hi Gurus,
    While uploading bank statement through FF_5, system is not clearing customer invoices automatically. Please let me know exactly what settings are missing and what should we do to implement automatic clearing of customer open item once bank statement is uploaded?
    Please revert asap.
    Thank You

    Hi,
    For Automatic Customer clearing of Invoices, you need to create a posting rule. In the posting rule there will be two posting areas. Posting Area 1 you will give the GL Bank account and Bank Clearing Account. In the Second Posting Area You need to give posting Key 50 with the Bank Clearing Account and 15 posting key and leave the account blank and in the last there is a field posting type in that you need to give 8.
    Once after defining the posting rule, you need to assign the external transaction type and the interpretation algorithm for the posting rule. Interpretation algorithm you need to select document number (020).

  • Automatic Clearing F.13

    What is the prupose of using F.13 . Is it the same as F-44 if we are using it to clear vendor items. When do we need to do this. Is it after making paying the open items. I went into F.13, then checked all vendors. I got a list of document numbers with the amounts. And bekow that got a log below that says "account selected but is not entered in tableTF123" what does this mean.
    Suppose we want to clear G/l items do we use the same transaction?
    ANother question does MR11 does the same clearing as F.13. For eg, if we run MR11 and clear GR/IR, wont it do the same in F.13 to that G/L account
    I am not able to clear vendor open items through F.13, though they exist. It is confusing. Can someone guide me through the whole process adn why do we use f.13, what all it does.

    Hi
    Manual Clearing of G/L , Vendor and Customer are done at F-03 , F-44 and F-32.
    Automatic Clearing of all these G/L , Vendors and Customers are done F.13.
    F.13 includes all the three F-03 , F-44 and F-32.
    regarding MR11 , Cancelling of Goods Receipt is done at MR11 but Clearing is done at F.13.
    For Example ,
    suppose that you have a goods receipt for a quantity of 12.You got the invoice receipt for a quantity of 10 only.then if you go to MR11 it will show the difference of quantity of 2.And you have the information that you will not receive the remaining quantity of 2.You will cancel the goods receipt of quantity of 2 using MR11.
    MR11 displays and cancels the goods receipt but doesnt clear.
    Clearing is done at F.13  Automatic clearing.

  • Automatic clearing of a vendor prepayment

    Hi,
    I am trying to do the following :
    - post a PO
    - post a GR
    - post a down payment or prepayment
    - get it paid through F110
    - post MIRO
    - pay remainder of the invoice through F110
    I found 2 ways of working :
    1) through down payment request process.  BUT this is not what I am looking for as there is no automatic clearing between final invoice and down payment.  This has to be cleared manually.
    2) In Logistics Invoice verification, there is a possibility to use a "prepayment".  This involves a few customizing settings in LIV under "prepayment", and has to be also configured on the vendor master record.  This way of working produces an invoice, related to the original PO, but with no link to the PO items.  When posting this invoice (transaction MIRA), the prepayment document should be automatically created ...  Unfortunately, I do not succeed in getting this prepayment working !!!!
    Does anyone know about this ?
    Or any other idea if using another process ?  Billing plan possibility ?
    Many thanks !
    Danielle

    Use t.code for F-44 for clearing openitems..There you can  enter PO at line item level
    u can give PO as reference to process Invoice which is gateway for Payment

    Message no. M8282
    Diagnosis
    The invoice was successfully reversed. The FI follow-on documents cannot be cleared automatically in the present release.
    Procedure
    You must clear the open vendor items manually.
    Please help me asap.
    Thanks

    ratheeshfico,
    You can use F.13 to clear them on a daily basis.
    To do so, go to "Prepare Automatic Clearing" in SPRO.
    The matching criteria should be something like:
    Acctype: K
    Acct Range: 1 - 999999999
    Criteria: XBLNR, BLDAT, EBELN etc

  • Customer Open Item Clearing through F.13

    Hi
    In our scenario we need to clear customer account by using f.13 standard functionality due to several debit and credit postings.
    The scenario is,  first there will be a credit posting to a customer line item with special gl indicator as 'A'.   Again there will be a debit posting (normal) to the customer line item with a separate document.  In both the cases the amount is same and we are populating the same object in assignment field and reference field also in both the documents.
    Now when we try to clear through f.13 by selecting customer accounts, special gl transactions and special gl indicator 'A' it is not able to clear.  It simpy shows "Category 'W' special G/L transactions were not selected".
    But when we do it as a normal item in both the cases it is able to clear but in case of special gl and normal it is not.
    Can you help me out in fixing the issue.
    Regards
    Brahma

    Hi Sunny,
    Please see the following :
    1. Down Payment Received (2500 INR.) F-29
    2. Customer Invoice Posted (2500 INR.) FB70
    3. Clear Down Payment (2500 INR) F-39
    4. Now Run Automatic Clearing (F.13)
    And then check the Customer line item report in FBL5N. It will clear both line items.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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

    Hi Vishal,
    I have changed the sort key on Bank Sub Account to Amount in Local Currency.
    When I am posting the payment document, the amount is getting populated in the Assignment Field.
    But the problem is coming when I post the Bank Statement. I tried to post the Bank Statement through Batch (SM35) to see what is getting populated into the Assignment field. The assignment is getting populated from Header Text, which is differing from Amount in Local Currency.
    If I change the manually to amount and post it, then it is clearing based on the clearing criteria set to amount in local currency. But this is not possible to change manually, as there could be number of items.
    Could you please let me know me know at the time of posting of manual bank statement I should be able to populated the value mentioned in sort key i.e., amount in local currency, but not the Header Text.
    Any valid inputs will be highly appreciated.

  • 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 for Billing Reversal not working because of SPL 90

    Hi all experts,
    We recently implemented the Grants management module and SPL 90 is now active.
    We are now having a problem with automatic clearing for billing reversals.
    When I go to VF11 and try to reverse a document, the FI postings and FM postings seem to be happening. But the automatic reversal does not go all the way through because when it tries to post to special purpose ledger 90, it does not find the original document there and hence, stops.
    Can someone tell me how to fix this?
    Thanks a lot, in advance.

    Can someone PLEASE look into this question?

  • 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!

    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.
