Document Clearing Rule

Hi,
All Experts.
I want to what is clearing rule in FI ( OBIA & OBIB )? In mysystem OBIA is blank but in OBIB it is showing in Account Type K and clearing Rule is CH where it is not define in OBIA. So from where it come exactly ? I am facing one problem that when I am posting one clearing entry through F-04 i am getting Mesage Class X short Dump. I am not able to solve that Short Dump.
I thought it may be generating more line items which is overflowing by system and having relation with clearing rules , specifically summarization of line items !
Could any one focus on this ?
Your help will be great on this.

Sharvari Joshi.

P2P fulfillment and Clearing rule interaction

Hi,
I am facing an issue related to Promise to Pay (P2P).
We are using FP2P1 to create P2P. The open items listed in FP2P1 creation screen appear to be sorted based on net due date (ascending), document number( ascending), amount (descending). The user selects the open items from the top and downward, until the promised amount is exhausted. When the payment is posted, the clearing sequence configured in the clearing variant is that first by the cash discount due day (ascending), division (ascending) and main transaction (ascending). Therefore, the payment would clear the items that not included in the P2P, however, the fulfillment is calculated based on the each P2P item's clearing status. For example, the customer has promised to pay $200. P2P includes document A, B, C for the total of 200. The customer paid $200 before the check date. However, the payment has cleared document A, D, E. When the P2P is evaluated, it is not fulfilled because only document A is cleared.
I would like to sort open items in the FP2P1 creation screen in the sequential order that is consistent with our clearing rule. I checked event 182 to 191, but not sure if one of them is called at time of open item selection. Do you think it is possible to add open item sorting logic in event 187?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Amlan,
Thank you for your suggestions.
Our clearing rule reflects the regulatory and business requirements and therefore we cannot change it. If we create P2P based on the standard SAP open item sorting logic, and then clear them first, it would violate our clearing rule.
I do not quite understand your suggestion - "The P2P items against the customer account can be put on direct debit". Could you please elaborate it if you get a moment? Thank you!
I just received SAP's reply to my OSS message. Below is the reply:
"I checked the situation in our reference system and I found out that
the displayed fields of the open item processing in transaction fp2p1
results from customizing (under FI-CA=>Basic Functions=>Open Item
Management=>Define Line Layout Variants for Open Item Processing).
Unfortunately there is no possibility to define a default sorting
variant. Also in the open item processing itself is no option to
define a default sorting. As the functionality does not exist I
recommend you to fill a development request. In SAP note 11 you'll
find more information about it."

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

Lockbox - SAP document clearing issue

Hello all,
Me along with our functional consultant are trying to figure out a lockbox document clearing issue and hope you could through some suggestions in. We are using FLB2 to clear SAP documents by using different search rules for invoice numbers on FLB2. Right now we have 5 different kinds of search rules based on document number (BELNR) and reference document number (XBLNR). We are able to clear the documents successfully if we have either document or reference documnet numbers in our input file using one of these 5 search rules. But now we would like to clear the documents also based on document assignment number (ZUONR). We tried few assignment numbers in the input file with all 5 search rules but FLB2 is not clearing any SAP documents. We are not sure if we need to have a new search rule specific to clearing the documents based on assignment numbers or how to create more search rules. Could you please suggest us if you have any thoughts on this?
Thanks,

Change AVIP-SFELD as ZUONR (for assignment number) and then put actual value you received in lockbox file in field AVIP-ZUONR. That way, payment advice is created for this check with value in assigment field and program will look for matching value in AR in assignment field.
Also usually if customer is not found based on MICR number or based on match found using Doc# or Ref#, system will update AVIK / AVIP-KONTO as "*", so you need to search for customer number also and update it here.
Hope this helps.

Clearing Rules for Defferals

We have requirement where if the deferral date is populated in the document or item then any incoming payment should not clear that item or document in cases where deferral date is in future,
Any item with no deferral date should clear, any excess payment should be posted as on account payment,
deferral items or document should only clear if the deferral date is in the equal to or less than to system date
I need help in setting up clearing rules to support above requirement, please extend your help.

Hi,
If you are unable to get the desired result through configuration, then code custom program logic in FI-CA Event 110 to distribute your incoming payment amount.
In this Event, you can inspect for the attributes of the items to be cleared (e.g. Deferral Date greater than payment date), and decide on the amount to be posted as Payment on Account.
If you are not familiar with FI-CA Events, go into transaction FQEVENTS and read the function module documentation for Event number 110.

Change Document splitting rule

Our company has been live with the new GL and document splitting for 3 years. The original splitting rule was set to split on the Business Area. However we would like to change the rule to split on Profit Center instead of Business Area. Is it possible to change the splitting rules without adversely effecting the system?

Hi Michael,
There is no harm in discontinuing the active rule but activating the inactive rule is really a big deal and SAP doe recommend this because it has potential threat. See below example.
Only Business Area active as Document Splitting rule.
Invoice was posted where there was profit center not populated for some reason and system did not give any error since it was not active field.
Now you activate profit center as document splitting characteristic
You clear the invoice posted above, system will give error like Document Splitting: Item for clearing not found which is irresolvable by the way of confguration change for which data has to be migrated using cockpit and that has to be done under SAP's Consultancy only.
If you want activate Profit Center as a Document Splitting Characteristic then go ahead but do not select it as a Mandatory Field

Document Splitting Rule

hi all
What is Document Splitting Rule?
regards
ch.suresh

Document splitting allows to display documents using a differentiated representation. In the representation, line items are split according to selected dimensions. In this way, one can draw up complete financial statements for the selected dimensions at any time.
Using the document splitting procedure, one can also create a segmented display of a (partial) balance sheet according to a set of legal requirements (for example, IAS) or according to areas of responsibility.
In addition, one can allocate at the time of posting additional costs (such as realized or valuated exchange rate differences) to the CO account assignment objects to which the costs relate. Assets can also be subsequently capitalized at the time of posting.
Document splitting has an effect on subsequent processes, such as closing operations, and on processes in Controlling (CO). One can use the document splitting procedure to split up line items for selected dimensions (such as receivable lines by profit center) or to effect a zero balance setting in the document for selected dimensions (such as segment). This generates additional clearing lines in the document.
For document splitting to be possible, the system classifies the individual line items as well as the documents. This takes place using settings in Customizing. Depending on how a document is classified, the splitting rule selected for a document specifies how the document is split and for which line items.
In the Implementation Guide, choose Financial Accounting (New) ® General Ledger Accounting (New) ® Business Transactions ® Document Splitting.
For more information on all the Customizing settings, see also the IMG documentation of the relevant IMG activity.
1. Classify G/L Accounts for Document Splitting
One needs to classify the individual document items so that the system knows how to handle them. One can do this by assigning them to an item category. The item category is determined by the account number. In this IMG activity, one needs to assign the appropriate accounts.
2. Classify Document Types for Document Splitting
Every business transaction that is entered is analyzed during the document splitting process. In this process, the system determines which splitting rule is applied to the document. To enable the system to determine the splitting rule, one needs to assign a business transaction variant to each document type.
3. Define Zero-Balance Clearing Account
Here one defines a clearing account for account assignment objects for which you want to have a zero balance setting when the balance is not zero.
4. Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting
Here specify to which document splitting characteristics document splitting applies, for example, profit center or segment. The characteristics that are specified should be maintained in at least one of the ledgers. one determines which characteristics are maintained in ledger by assigning scenarios or customer fields to ledgers.
5. Define Document Splitting Characteristics for Controlling
Here specify which additional characteristics are required to be applied in document splitting. The additional characteristics are not relevant for General Ledger Accounting. Instead, they are relevant for components in Controlling that use documents transferred from General Ledger Accounting.
The selected characteristics are only transferred to the specified line items when the account to which the postings are to be made can also take the characteristics.
6. Define Post-Capitalization of Cash Discount to Assets
Here define whether the cash discount that is applied in the payment of an asset-relevant invoice should be capitalized to the asset. When one selects this setting, the cash discount amount is not posted to the cash discount account in the payment document, but instead directly to the asset.
7. Edit Constants for Nonassigned Processes
Here define default account assignments (for example, a default segment) for specific line items in processes for which it is not possible to derive the correct account assignments at the time when the document is posted. This is the case if the required information is not yet available when the posting occurs.
8. Activate Document Splitting
In this IMG activity, activate document splitting. The splitting method used is that delivered by SAP as standard, which contains the splitting rules for the different business transactions. If this splitting method does not meet requirements,first define and then select own method in Customizing for document splitting
9. Settings for Extended Document Splitting
Here define own rules for document splitting and make the necessary settings so that the system applies the rules defined and not the SAP standard rules.
9. Define Splitting Method
Here define own method for document splitting. A splitting method contains the rules governing how the individual item categories are dealt with.
10. Define Splitting Rule
Here define the splitting rules for document splitting.Assign one or more business transaction variants, the account key for the zero balance setting, and the leading item categories for cross-company code transactions to a splitting method.
11. Assign Splitting Method
Here assign the splitting method to be used for document splitting after activation. If one wants to activate own splitting method, replace the standard method with own method.
12. Define Business Transaction Variants
Here one can define business transaction variants for the business transactions in document splitting

Hi:
Welcome to SDN..if you are on manual BRS FF67 then following is the procedure to change the clearing rules. BRS gets posted as per setting in clearing rules ..Based on assignment number or reference number BRS gets posted to main account. Hi:
Please follow as given and hopefully it will help you...
1...Go to SPRO...Financial Accounting....Bank...Business transactions...Payment Transactions...Manual Bank Statement..Create a new transaction with sign - and do not assign anything in posting rule for now and enter 15 (based on it data will be entered in assignment field) in Algorithm field , save.
2...In define posting keys and posting rules...create an account symbol for the one you did in step 1..In Assign account to account symbol please use account symbol created earlier and acc mode + and currency should be + too. In GL Account area please list the outgoing GL initials which you are using for outgoing postings..
In create key for posting rule define a posting rule and now go back to step 1 and assign the posting rule you created to the transaction type
In define posting rules please maintain posting rule as define above...in posting area assign 1. give nothing in first posting key.assign account symbol as created earlier...now give give posting key 50..give account credit Bank...and a suitable document you use for posting BRS...In posting type give 4.
Your Manual Bank statement is ready ....
Go to FS00 select your bank outgoing GL account there and in create/bank.interest tab double click on Field status group..in general data make assignment number mandatory for posting...
Go to FB50....post and outgoing transaction using the GL given above it will require you to enter assignment number enter 123 and post. In FF67 Select the new statement , proceed with your normal data entry and give the transaction you created in above , enter value date, amount and in bank ref field enter 123 as given in FB50.
Save and post it. Now it should work.

Different clearing rules in SAPF124

Hi Gurus,
usually we use the filed ZUONR as automatic Clearing rule for GR/IR account.
Now we have a Company code, which has a another Content in this field. We could use fields EBELN and EBELP.
The rules I store in customizing..are they like "and-rules" or is this like an "or" - this is because we can not set the rule by company code and of course we still need the ZUONR rule... so if it is an "and" we don't have a chance here anyway...
2.) Any suggestions how to solve it?
Many thanks in advance!
Sandra

Hi Sandra
The conditions in OB74 are "AND" conditions.
Since, we cannot set the criteria at company code level, I would suggest that you use different G/L accounts for the purpose of different criteria.
Since, COA has a vast number of G/L accounts, you can look for some G/L numbers which are not used in any other company code as of now and use them for your purpose only in this particular company code after configuration.

Hi,
In order to create a document type for a purchase requisition use the path
spro-materials management - purchasing--purchase requisitions --define document type
in that screen you select the document type you want to copy to create your document type and perform the action.
if you want to change the screen/field selection for your document type select the field selection key (if you select the document type as NBB the field selection key will be NBB.,and go to the screen and change the field status.
Hope this will be suffient for your requirement.

FICA: Clearing rules for account maintenance & auto clearing to apply credits against unpaid security deposits regardless of due date

Hi Folks,
We have a requirement in FICA clearing rules to apply the payment against unpaid security deposit irrespective of the due date. I have the below rule configured as the first step in my clearing variant.
Grouping String: 019 (statistical indicator); Grp Rule: 3; Char Value: H (security deposits); AIRI: 4; Group: 019
Sort characteristic: 010 (Due date); Rank: 3; Char value: H; Rank: 1
I have maintained the corresponding clearing variant in all the clearing types (account maintenance, automatic clearing, and incoming payments); Clearing rule is working perfectly during payments, however for account maintenance and automatic clearing it's not applying the credits against security deposits first. I still see that the items are cleared only based on due date;
Am I missing something here? Please share your suggestions.
Thanks,
Santosh

Santosh:
This rule will not work in account maintenance. You would need to include the data about the credits into your grouping criteria in order for that to work. Most clearing rules do not work for account maintenance as they do for payments. You probably need to have a separate variant with a rule not based on statistical indicator, but rather based on transaction value or maybe create your own custom grouping via TFK116.

bill.

Clearing rules

Dear colleagues,
I'm using clearing rules to clear customer open line items. I've defined one for deudor accounts. I tested for a manual payment and it worked correctly, but when I tried to test it for an automatic payment, It didn't bring me all the fields that I defined in the clearing rule to the cleared line item.
Do you know why it doesn't work for all the fields in automatic payment program?
Thanks in advanced,
Olga

Step 1 should probably not sort by invoice number. That is not usually sequential for a utility. And then it would basically be the same as step 2 which should work.
