Issue in the automatic clearing in F.13 (OB74)

Hi All,
In OB74 I have defined the creteria ZUONR and VBUND for a GL account 123456.
Now when I try to clear in F.13, the documents are not getting cleared. In FBL3N, if I do the subtotal at ZUONR field, the balance is zero in subtotal. Also ther are lines which have zero balance for sub total at VBUND.
What more to do to consider these items in F.13
Regards,
Jeenat

Hi Jeenat,
In case you have defined the multiple creterias in OB74, then the document balance should be zero for all these creterias taken together
In one creteria met and not other, then the automatic clearing will not happen.
So you must carefully define the creteria for the GL taking into consideration the nature of the postings in the GL account. For example for GR/IR GL, trhe clearing creterias used are EBELN and EBELP as each line in GRIR account contains these data. and in case found the total, then it means that for all GRs, IR have been received.
Regards,
Gaurav

Could you tell me the automatic clearing configuration

I want to know the automatic clearing configuration.i have seen f.13, in that i have executed , but i am unable to understand the importance and its configuration for GL,AP,AR AND ASSET ACCOUNTING.
please help
thank you for your valuable time

F.13 clears open items lying in the GL/AP/AR etc based on some pre defined conditions. for example.. if you have raised one invoice for Rs 100 and received payment for Rs100.00 In this case, you will have two open line items in the customer account.
Based on three identical information in both open line items.. customer code, amount and invoice number, F.13 make these open itmes as cleared items.
OB74 suggest you where exactly you will be putting your input( Invoice number in this case), you can use assignement field, or reference filed or so on(GL Account and Amount is default). You can sensitise this prgramm by giving more filters like other than these three, business area also should match then provide this in OB74 in criteria as GSBER.
Hope things are clear..

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

Issue in the automatic payment program!

Hello SDN gurus,
I am a fresher and am faced with the following issue at the client place. Can somebody please help? Thanks in advance.
The team is having issues on the FI side where Expenses integrates with SAP AP (this is called the SETTLEMENT process - settlement process is part of payment process which is part of FI/AP - Accounts Payable.)
"The issue the client currently has is on the settlement related to payment for Vendors from Invoice and Expense Reporting side. There are issues like the total does not add up when there are negative and positive amount for multiple Expense Reports and the payment that needs to be sent to Amex is incorrect.
There is also a bug the client is working on where if there is only one Amex charge for Expense Report which is a negative amount, then the Credit Card is masked and thus we cannot tell Amex part of the Interface which account the payment the client is paying is for. This process works fine if there is one positive amount though/"

Payment block R can come for various reasons like delivery schedule,terms of payment,quality reasons etc.
Use
You can block an invoice manually. You have two options for doing this when you enter the invoice:
You can block an invoice by entering an R in the field Payment block in the document header data.
You can block an item by selecting the M (manual blocking reason) field in the item list. When you post the invoice, the system automatically sets an R in the field Payment block in the vendor line of the accounting document. Manually blocked items are given the blocking reason Manual block (M).
the best way to remove the block is to run MRBR transaction

Please tell me the usage of automatic clearing a/c

i want to know the automatic clearing a/c. i know ob74 for configuration, and f.13 , but why we are using automatic clearing a/c. please provide information on this. i posted earlier also. but i could not get the proper answer.
Thank you in advance
AAR

The F.13 trnsaction is required to clear the GL accounts which are open item managed. For example GR/IR Account, bank accounts, Advance account etc.
suppose when you do GR
entry is
Dr. Stock Account 100
Cr. GR/IR Account 100
Invoicing
Dr. GR/IR Account 100
Cr. Vendor Account 100
So in GR IR you will see two open item DR. 100 & Cr. 100
So Tcode F.13 for account GR/IR , it will clear this Dr. & Cr. then it will reflected as cleared item, not open item.

Automatic clearing of accounting documents

We are having an issue with accounting documents for our credit card orders getting cleared automatically as the billing documents are created. This looks
like a standard SAP functionality. The orders are created with credit card number and it gets authorized. When the billing document is created, it posts the document to accounting and it clears automatically. Is there any user exit that I can use to not make the document clear automatically? Which function module does this use to do the automatic clearing of the accounting document? We also create Repair orders with credit card number in it, but not authorizing the credit card while order creation. Because it does not authorize the credit card, the accounting document for Repair order does not get cleared automatically which is what we are trying to accomplish for our regular authorized credit card orders also.
Thanks!

Thanks Rafael. But we want it to post to accounting, it is just the clearing part we are trying to avoid.

GL Open Item Automatic Clearing Program Throughput

Hello all,
Can anyone inform me if I should be wary of technical constraints regarding data volumes when using the automatic clearing program (E.g. tx F.13 program SAPF124). For example, can I expect issues if I try to use the automatic clearing program to clear 2 million open items on the same company/GL account for 4,000 unique values of Assignment Number? Any experience with volume thresholds and how to best design for them would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Pat

We use it for all the clearing incl AR/AP/GL... there are no manual clearing happening here..... in case there is some issue then only manual clearing is done and the issue is only due to some transaction data missing which we use for clearing....other than that we have never faced any such issue.....
In case u r worried ab8 the system u can take the help of basis person to see how much load load this program takes on the system... functionally we never faced any issue....

Automatic Clearing F.13 - Clearing Criterion

Dear Forum,
We are having problems with the open items clearing for payments made in foreign currencies (EUR) out of local currency account (USD).
At the time of payment the system is posting the following entry -
Dr. Vendor - Doc Currency EUR Local Currency USD
Cr. Bank Clearing Account - Doc Currency EUR Local Currency USD
While importing the Bank Statement the following entry gets posted in the Bank Clearing Account -
Dr. Bank clearing Account - Doc Currency USD Local Currency USD
Cr. USD Bank Account - Doc Currency USD Local Currency USD
Since the payment in EUR is made out of local currency account (USD), the document gets posted in USD at the time of importing the Bank Statement.
The Bank Clearing Account is 'Open Item Managed Account.' The issue is that while performing the automatic clearing, the system is checking for the payment document no. which is the criteria defined in the system. While the payment document no. in the Dr and Cr entry matches, the system is not able to clear off the open items due to the following reasons -
1. The documeny currency does not match - We want the system to ignore this standard rule.
2. The payment amount and the clearing amount is different due to exchange rate difference - We want this difference to be posted to the Exchange Gain/Loss Account at the time of automatic clearing.
How could we achieve the aforesaid objectives, i.e. ignroing the doc currency and automatcally posting the difference in Exchange Gain/Loss Account.
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Regards

F.13 is only clearing program and will not genetate a new line item out of clearing like in your case "diff. due to exchange rates".
Try using F13E and giving the clearing currency in the selection parameters.

Suspens account automatic clearing

Hello!
I need to run an automatic clearing for a bank suspens account but my issue is that the payment document (from F110) and the bank transfer doesnt have fields in common. Asking the bank to change the assignment or text field is not an option for me....
The only thing I found as connexion between these two documents is the text field from the bank transfer document which contains the document payment number BUT among more characters. Do you think it is possible to extract the document number from the text field and link it somehow with the automatic clearing OB74?
I will appreciate any comment!
Thank you in advance,
REgards

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?

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.
Config: IMG>FA>GL. Accounting>Business transactions>Open item clearing>Prepare automatic clearing.
AS well see the notes for better understanding.
Hope it gives better understanding.
Respectfully,
Vyas

Automatic Clearing with Differences

Dear Friends,
We have defined the tolerances for Clearing Differences and also assigned the GL Codes for posting of differences in the debit and credit items. However, when we do the clearing, we notice that the system is not clearing the line items that have the difference, but clears the line items which do not have difference. We notice in the additional log, the message appears, Account blocked - No clearing. When we check the GL in FS00, it indiactes "GL Account temporarily blocked" Message No. FH042.
Could anyone help what needs to be checked. Thanks!
Regards

Hi Arjun,
For your information and benefit there were two issues involved which were preventing the automatic clearing -
a. The first was a very minor issue, the automatic clearing in the same GL Account was being carried out by another user and therefore the system was giving the error message - The Account is blocked.
b. Secondly the issue was that the clearing differences GL Account had a Feild Status Group which had the 'Text Maintenance" as a mandatory requirement. Once we made it optional in the FS Group, the users were able to proceed with the Automatic Clearing with the differences.
Regards

Automatic Clearing - Open Item GL Account

Dear Friends,
We have created the Bank Clearing Account as an open item management account. The account would be credited while making the payment to the vendor thru automatic payment run and debited once the payment has been cleared from the Bank. We would like to do the automatic clearing of the open items like GRIR account. Could you please advise what maintenance is to be done on the Config side and which T Code is to be used.
Thanks for the help!

F.13 Automatic clearing of GR/IR accounts

Hi gurus,
I'm trying to clear two GR/IR accounts using F.13.
In OB74 i have maintained Criterion-1 as assignment field(ZUONR).
With the first GR/IR account, I have no problem doing the clearing as the Assignment Field contains the Purchasing Doc.
While, on the second GR/IR account, the Assignment Field contains the Posting Date. I did a mass change on the Assignment Field and was able to change it to the Purchasing Doc.
The problem is, even there are matched items in the account based on the Assignment Field, the automatic clearing F.13 says that "No G/L account documents selected" and nothing is cleared.
Please help.
Thanks and regards,
Nuke

Hi,
I found out the cause already. The GL account was not marked "Open Item Manage" thus previous postings can't be cleared.
Now my problem is, is it possible to clear those previous postings?
Thanks,
Nuke
