If i create the same customer as vendor and deduct tds while passing commission entry would partly meet my reqirement but client requires to the net balance like in fbl5n for all the transaction made.

If you are using the print program RFKORD10 for print, then please note the following system behaviour when the selection parameter 'Clearing' is activated: For creating the open item list the customer is the 'leading' business partner, because the correspondence should be sent only once to the business partner.
For example:
Customer AB is vendor XY. In the master data AB is linked with XY and vice versa. If the indicator 'clearing' is set in the customer master data and in RFKORD10 the open item list for customer AB contains the open items of customer AB and for vendor XY. But unfortunately the other way around doesn't work for vendor XY. Due to the requirements of many other customer a correspondence should be send only once.
If a open item list is printed for customer AB with open items of XY and for vendor XY with open items of AB, the same business partners is getting two letters, which is confusing.
So as workaround you have the possibility to request the correspondence for the customer if clearing with a vendor should be taken into account.
Hope this information helps.
