Invoice clearing in Lock Box - FIFO basis

hi experts,
My client wants that for specific customer, all those outstanding invoices be cleared with one payments received via check, that were received first, automatically. In other words, the stream of incoming payments will keep clearing a sequence of all previous (date-wise) outstanding invoices automatically.
It seems we need to do some configuration changes in lock box process. Can any one give some insight in this regard as how to make it possible?
Thanks

No, standard lockbox cofiguration doesn't provide this facility.
There are 5 standard Lockbox program that do clearing based on either Reference (XBLNR) or Document number (BELNR) or both.
You may have to customization.
1. Use some custom re-processing program before Lockbox or
2. See if you can change clearing rulses in one of the 2 available Lockbox user exits or

Partial Payment posting in AR and clearing of invoice on fifo basis

Dear Gurus,
It is related to partial incoming payment in AR and clearing of invoices on FIFO basis, let me clarify my requiremnt through an Example
Assume there an ivoice of PKR 100,000 in customer Account XYZ
Company received partial PAyment of PKR 50,000 on specific date
Data entry clerk enters payment in F-28 in partial payment tab and assign it to invoice (please note that at present payment is not being assigned and both item invoice and payment remains open without any assignment with each other)
assume next payment which data entry clerk tries to enter with this refernce is PKR 60,000 while reamining amount with this invoice refernce is PKR 50,000 ,system should not allow to enter excess amount with partial paid invoice i.e. user has to be restricted to enter PKR 50,000 against this invoice
As data entry clerk enter partial payment and there is any other open invoice, system should not allow to enter payment till clearance of first open invoice
means specific requirement is
in case of partial payment with refernce to invoice, at the time of data entry system should chekc that no any other invoice is open in AR ledger
as partial payment document is entered system assign this document to Invoice
if data entry clerk tries to enter acess amount with refernce to invoice, system should not allow means Invoice amount = Payment amount
please advice procedure to meet this requirement

Hi,
For posting partial Invoice, At the time you received 50000, post it through F-28 only as a partial knockoff against a particular Invoice and at the time you enter second part of the Payment in excess of 50000, the system will not accept as the remaining amount of the Invoice is 50000 only.
For Fifo Invoice Clearing -
At the time of Posting F-28, click on "Distribute by age" the system will automatically clear the value on FIFO Basis.

Hello,
1.How many customer invoices have been cleared through Lock Box Clearing program -- I wanted to findout how many customers have been cleared automatically (How can I findout this information - Tables/Field)
You can sort this in table BSAD based on Doc type...Idenity whether your document posted via Lockbox program has unique ID...else you can identify from the table BKPF header records <fields TCODE & BLART>.

2) I think we can also process lock box posting through Idoc, what is the process flow? would you pease eloberate on this IDOC process for lockbox.
3) I am not able to understand the posting done (without clearing the customer open item). Both debit and credit posted to a bank account. would you please eloberate the posting done while lockbox processing?
Please let me know if more information required.

problem with the user exit

Lock Box Reason Code.

Hi Experts,
I am getting one issue in lock box, If Suppose customer has invoice of $ 1000, he is eligible for discount of $ 50 so he should pay net amount $ 950. But customer is paying full amount without knowing that he is eligible for discount i.e $ 1000. so system is crediting back $ 50 to the customer(returning back the $ 50 to customer).
In this case i want system should accept amount $1000 and system should not credit $ 50 to customer(system should not pay back to customer $ 50), instead of this system should transfer the balance to GL account by using the reason code.
Note : we are using BAI2 format for lockbox.
Please be advised what should i do in this case if i want to accept the full amount from the customer without doing the credit to him and i want to transfer the amount to GL account by using reason code in BAI2 format.
Regards,
Sam.

Yes you can.
Customer and User tolerance limits, payment advice tolerance limits and reason codes
When an incoming cash payment does not exactly pay the referenced open item(s), then the system will not be able to perform clearing without creating residual items back on the account - except when you establish tolerance limits to allow posting with a write-off of acceptable payment difference amounts.
Reason code settings are used for description and reporting purposes, generation of specific customer correspondence letters (automatic system generation whenever this reason code is assigned to a document), and difference item write-off/dispute status assignment.

Payment Advise error while uploading Lock box

Hi,
i am getting the below error in FBL1 transaction code. I am able to upload the lock box in FBL2 transaction with Appllied status. After that when i execute FBL1 transaction i am getting the below error related to Payment Advise. Kindly help me to fix this issue...
Payment advice 010000000700001 does not exist for account 237059 1000

Once the incoming payment is applied and the invoice is cleared the system would delete the payment advice immediately and you would get this error from FLB1, this is standard.

Lock box facility

hi experts,i want to know about:what is lock box facility?can any body tell me the configation steps for that

hi
Using of lock box
Lockbox is a process provided by a bank where the customer remits his payment to a PO Box at your bank, the bank deposits the check in your account and enters the remittance data from the customer. Then the bank sends the data to you electronically for you to import and apply in SAP-AR.
The structure that the bank uses is usually one of two formats. BAI will provide you the customer information and the check amount but no invoice remittance data. Usually cheaper and works well for a business where customers are paying only one invoice at a time.
BAI-2 offers remittance data but the bank charges more for the service because they have to enter more info.
Look at structures FLB** to see the transfer data.
When the bank sends the customer payment data you use Treasury function FLB2 to import and then process the payments. This process attempts to determine where to apply the payment and will post directly against an invoice, an account to a customer or if it can't even determine the customer it posts into a clearing account (configured) to be resolved.

Customer open items knock off on FIFO basis

Friends,
Is it possible to knock off the customer payments on first in first out basis, without manual clearing through F-32.
Payments user will post the incoming payments on account, which should be adjusted for 1st bill on FIFO basis.
Just user has raised this - without clearing by user is it possible.

Hi,
I think this calls for an ABAP program.

Lock box jobs getting cancelled

Hello All,
I am new to lockbox processing. I am into lock box support project now. Recently lot of lock box jobs are getting cancelled. While I am going through job log it says that " Payment advice 01706525923 does not exist for account 10001009 0110 ". Similar error showing for few other jobs. Can you please anybody through some light on this regarding how to investigate this error?
Thank you,
Santosh

When ever you get such kind of message then it says that it has found the customer and not found the document to post.
Now when you got to T.code FLB1. you can see that in "on account" status.
Now through lockbox post processing you have to post/clear the document (thru F.04) to make the document to "Applied" status.
Assign points if useful.
