Function Module for Post Partial Clearing

Question

Dear Expert,
Is it possible to use FM POSTING_INTERFACE_CLEARING to clear partial open items ? If yes, kindly suggest what parameters need to be passed.
But should this is not possible, could you suggest  any function modules that can do partial clearing ?
Thank you

Answer 1

Dear expert
   Paritial Payment:
A partial payment is a payment that is posted to an account without any open items being cleared. You assign this partial payment to an open item. When you post the partial payment, the system marks the document number of the original open item in the line item for the partial payment. The original open item and the partial payment remain open.
Suppose original invoice is with 1000 /-
current payment is 500 /-
then it will show both 1000 and 500 as open items with balance 500

Residual item:
A residual item results when a payment is made for less than the actual amount outstanding. You clear the original open item, and the system posts a new open item. This new open item is for the same amount as the original open item minus the amount paid.
Suppose original invoice is with 1000 /-
current residual payment is 500 /-
then balance 500 only shown as open item (New line item created during residual payment )
