Hi
The system makes postings to GR/IR clearing accounts at the time of goods receipt. If, for example, the delivered quantity for a purchase order item is not equal to the invoiced quantity, there is a balance on the GR/IR clearing account.
The person responsible for account maintenance lists the purchase order history with the differences. In order to archive invoice documents, the difference must be cleared. If the balance is not cleared by more goods receipts, return deliveries, invoices, or credit memos, the person responsible for account maintenance has to clear the difference manually.
For GR/IR maintenance refer Tcode-MR11.
MR11 is designed to show the GRs that have not yet been fully invoiced and the invoices that have not yet been fully received.
In any normal business situation there will always be some invoices for items that have not yet been received and some receipts that have not yet been invoiced. But MR11 is designed to be used to clear the OLD ones that are probably NEVER going to be completed.
So you would run MR11 with a date in the past (a few months old normally) and anything that has still got a balance (either way) could indicate that you will never get these cleared no matter how long you wait.
So you can use this transaction to clear these documents.
The best way to use it is to run it firstly with very small tolerances (value and value percentage) and very old dates. For example any PO older than 6 months that has a balance of less than 10 USD. You would prepare the list intially (without update) and see the proposed effect. If you were happy with this you can then run it in update mode and clear those documents. This will post any outstanding values correctly and close down the PO.
For example if you had a PO where you had received 99 and the invoice was for 100, the system would increase the stock value of those 99 by 1 to reflect that we paid 100 for those 99 items (and close the PO)
Similarly if you received 100 and were invoiced for 99 the clearing would reduce the stock value by 1
Both examples are affected by the valuation type (Std price or MAP) but the end result is the same.
After running it like this with small differences, the only uncleared items left would be the recent ones, or the "old" ones that have a bigger difference. You can then run MR11 with larger tolerances, view what would happen and either re run the same selection with update instead of list and clear these.
You would eventually finish up with a manageable number of POs that don't balance and the value difference is quite large. You would then have to decide if you want to leave them as they are and wait for the open amount to be invoiced (or GRd), or you can manually clear them by selecting the individual line and then selecting the clear from the menu options.
At the end of this process you should only have POs that are awaiting further postings.
You would also have to financially clear the entries that have been cleared in MR11 but this would be via the normal financial clearing transactions.
reward if helps,
