F.13. Automatic Clearing ... Special G/L transaction

Hi:
I have a problem in FI, and perhaps you know how to solve it. We want to run F.13 transaction, but it does not work for Special G/L transaction (Customer accounts). I have checked data in transaction OB74, and everything seems to be ok. We have no error message, but it does not take any account. I attached the log message I got at end of F.13.
Please, any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Bayantrade-
Thanks to everyone who replied. I am trying to test this in DEV however I am still getting the error message:
No clearing procedures were carried out
We are on ECC 6.0
I did the following:
Went to OB74 and input my GL Chart of account, Account type and the G/L in particular
Then I input my Criteria 1 for ZUONR for assignment
(we have 80,000 line item match by assignment which net to zero)
Then SAVE
Then I went to F.13
input Co.code
Select G/L accounts
entered my G/L
Selected Date from most recent document
F8
enter once I receive message of Production run
No customer selected
No vendor selected
No G/L account documents selected
No clearing procedures were carried out
I don't understand what is missing here?
Please help.

Automatic clearing special G/L transactions of the type bill of exchange

Dear all,
I've checked that from F.13 isn't possible to clear automatically special G/L transactions of the type bill of exchange.
Does it exist another way to clear these items automatically?
Thanks in advance
Alberto

Hi,
Please make Down Payment request and then make Down Payment then make Invoice and then clear the Down Payment. If any balance is left over make incoming payment through F-28 and here u need to select the downpayment document also.
If no incoming payment is there u use F-03 and clear the documents manually.

Automatic Clearing - Special G/L indicators

Hello fellas!
Does anybody know how can I clear vendors and customers documents in F13E/F.13 with different special G/L indicators?
Or someone have another alternative?
By the way..I donu2019t want to use F-32.
Happy Holidays! Have a great new year!
Thanks,
P.

Hi Marwan,
You can clear automatically normal items with special GL transactions. The reason is the entry are posted with different reconciliation account for both transactions. If you really want to clear automatically, then you have to follow below steps.
1. Define clearing criteria as assignment field (ZUONR) & document currency (WRBTR) in automatic clearing for customers. Suppose if you define a field ZUONR (assignment), then both the documents should have same value.
2. Clear the down payment clearing against the invoice in F-39
3. Then run automatic clearing f.13. The system will clear the documents automatically.
Hope it understands you.

Automatic Clearing with Special G/L transactions

Hi experts
I'm trying to run F.13 with Special G/L transactions "D" and the system shows me this response
"Only accounts with debit and credit postings are included"
Can anybody explain to me what is wrong?
Thkz in advance!

Hi
This program for F.13 clears open items from customer, vendor and G/L accounts (in particular, GR/IR clearing accounts) automatically. It selects all accounts specified in the value sets that have debit and credit postings.
The following items are **not** cleared:
- Noted items
- Statistical postings and special G/L transactions of the type bill of
exchange
- Items with withholding tax postings
- Down payments can only be cleared if down payment clearing for the same amount has been posted. (this one holds good for you)
Please check the same.
Thanks and Regards

Transaction F.13 Automatic clearing without definition of clearing currency

Hi, I need to excecute this transacciton like the transaction F-03, using residual items, because net amounts of posting keys are not equals. Are there any way ?
Thaks in advance

Hi Jeannett,
It's not possible. The standard automatic clearing (F.13) has the premise that both the open items have the same amount.
This prerequisite is neither configurable, sit treated as basic rule of accounting.
You can develop a program (ABAP) that make this type of cleaning.

F.13 automatic clearing G/L Account in Amount in Local Currency

Hi gurus:
I need a lot of help with t-code F.13.
I need clearing a lot of line items in one GL Account. every one has the same Assignment Number and has in local currency (CLP), but one of them is in USD.
When i call the transaction, I fill the follow fields, but the system doesn't clear the items and shows follow message "B No clearing (difference too large)" .
Company code                    CMF
Fiscal year                     2009
Assignment                      2009
Select GL Accounts        X
G/L accounts                    21070016
Clearing date                   30.06.2010
Clearing Currency               CLP
Permit individual line items   X
Include Suppl Account Assign X
I tried with the follow configuration in OB74
S     21070016     21070016     ZUONR     DMBTR
But system cleared certain items, not everything.
¿How can I do a automatic clearing when i have documents with differents document currency? ¿Is it posible to do a residual items from F.13?
Greetings and anticipated thanks
Marco

Hello Raj:
Thanks for your reply. Look, the difference that I found between both t-codes is the field: Clearing Currency.
I've executed many times with that field empty and CLP. But the result is the same "No clearing procedures were carried out".
Also I've tried with different combinations of this checks:
F124BVK - Special Processing (Clearing Currency from Assignment Field) (I dont know how to configure this)
F124ALW - Expiring Currencies
F124TOLEB - Consider a Single Line Item for Tolerances
F124NKON - Include Supplementary Account Assignment
What can I do now?
Thanks a lot

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.

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

Automatic clearing in POR procedure

Hi,
I have the problem with POR procedure. I configured the POR procedure and it works correct when the invoice amount is identical as file amount.
But when the amount in file differs from invoice amount (even in the range of standard tolerance limits), the POR creates batch input using the transaction FB01 and not FB05. And the invoice is not cleared. Is there the possibility to clear also these items for which the payment amount (from POR file) differs from invoice amunt in range of the customer tolerance limit?
I found the SAP notes - 365439 and 1125229. The note 365439 gives the solution but the note 1125229 changes it.
I don't know which note I should download and how to resolve my problem.
Can you help me in this issue?

Automatic clearing for bills of exchange

HI,
We are looking at ways to make a automatic clearing with special G/L indicator for bill of exchange.
Does anyone who knows the way to make this recording from f.13 or similar tcode?
Thanks
Best Regards

Dear Emanuele,
In reference to your question about f.13 and automatic clearing with special G/L indicator for bill of exchange please note the following
The clearing of special G/L processes e.g. BOE, requires a more complex treatment as you can find in the following description. Please also review the documentation of SAPF124.
The following items are not cleared by SAPF124
o   Noted items
o   Statistical postings and certain special G/L transactions (down
    payments and bills of exchange)
o   Items containing withholding tax postings (country-specific).
BoE is special transaction and should be handled only using mentioned below transactions:
1) invoice (p. ex. TA: F-22)
2) payment run (TA: F110 / F-36 / FBW2)
3) presentation of BoE (TA: FBWE / F-33 - Discounting
                                   F-34 - Collection
4) clearing of document (TA: FBW4 / F-20)
5) customer does not pay (TA: FBZG)
Hope this information is helpful to you. I could not find any program for automatic clearing, you can check FBWD which is a manual process to clear bill of exchange.
Kind Regards

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

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.

Sridhar

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 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.

Venkat
