OBYA - Customer and Vendor Clearing

We all know that in OBYA you cane specify G/L accounts as well as customer and vendor accounts for clearing between company codes. Can any one explain what is the best way to follow and why? How do you clear these Open intercompany customers and vendors?
- Thanks in Advance!

Hi Nutan
The following two are common processes for setting up  inter company clearing accounts
1. Define 2 GL accounts in OBYA for each company code combination, if you would post these intercompany transactions manually 
for example
1) Inter company Receivables  (say ICR0001)
2) Inter company Payables       (say ICP0001)
put the above accounts in each receivable or payable account fields accordingly
2. Define customers/vendors for each company code in all other company codes
Here the recon account for such customers would be an intercompany receivable account (say ICR0002)
and recon account for such vendors would be an intercomany payable account (say ICP0002)
Usually you would like to have a separate account group for such customer and vendors
this kind of scenario would not need OBYA setting
You can also use both of the above scenarios simultaneously  as well

  • Clearing between customer and vendor invoice with F110 transaction

    Hello,
    I have an issue related to the functionalities of the transaction F110.
    I'd like to clear the vendor invoice with the custome invoice.
    Customer and vendor records are linked properly and the flag 'Clrg with Cust.' is set on vendor and 'Clearing with Vendor' is set on customer.
    Both the invoice are in USD and the amount in document currency of the vendor invoice is > of the amount in document currency of the customer invoice.
    I entered in both the invoice the same payment method (outgoing payment method).
    The error that I can see in the proposal log is related to the customer invoice and is:
    Payment method selection for items due now to the amount of USD          500,00
    Due items with currency USD, pmnt method  - items total is > 0
    ..none of the payment methods defined can be used for these items
    information re. vendor xxxxxxxx / customer yyyyyyy / paying company code TS01 ...
    .. payment not possible because of reported error
    According to the log of the proposal the vendor invoice can be paid.
    If I click on display proposal and double click on the customer invoice (with red light) I can read the note:
    No pymt possible because items with a debit
    Following the settings of the payment method used:
    Payment method in the country

    - allowed for personal payment flagged
    - Bank details flagged
    - Document type for payment XX

    - Use classic payment medium program selected
    Currency allowed: This table is empty (will mean that all currencies are permitted)
    Payment method in company code

    Cust/vend bank abroad allowed? selected
    Bank selection control "No optimization" selected
    Can you please help me to understand the error?
    I'm afraid it is a problem with the bank but I don't understand why the payment of the vendor invoice is allowed and the customer invoice not.
    Thank you very much in advance

  • Payment Run - Clearing between Customer and Vendor and Partner Bank Account

    Is there a way to have the bank details for the payment to be pulled from the vendor master if an outgoing payment is created or from the customer master if an incoming payment is created? Our requirement is to consider both vendor and customer items during payment processing.  In doing so, if the net of the clearing between the customer and vendor account results in an incoming payment, we want to use the bank details specified from the customer and if the net results in an outgoing payment, we want the bank details on the vendor master to be used.
    As such we tick the box on Vendor master to clear with customer and tick the box on Customer master to clear with Vendor.  We have defined 2 payment methods and entered both payment methods on both the customer and Vendor.  We have also entered the different bank accounts on the payment transactions tab of the vendor and customer masters. 
    It seems regardless of resulting payment method chosen, the bank details are getting pulled from the vendor master.

    Hi,
    It is possible without any doing any kind of config or master data changes
    While doing F-53, after entering all the required data in open item selection screen, after getting vendor open line items, go to menu item edit->select more.
    There enter account type as D and company code (customer account no's comp code) and click on process open items
    So you can choose the line items from the other company code's customer also.
    Thanks,

  • Clearing between customer and vendor

    Hello,
    If a customer and Vendor belong to different company codes, is it possible to maintain them against each other in their master data and have the invoices cleared against each other through automatic payment run?

  • Report for Clearing between Customer and Vendor

    Hello -
    My client needs a report that will allow her to see customer and vendor items on one report, BUT grouped together.
    I know that FBL1N and FBL5N allow for you to click vendor items, customer items but they don't group them together.  What I mean by this is if you run FBL5N for a range of customers and click the vendors at the bottom on the selection screen, the report puts ALL of the customer items for the whole range first then ALL of the vendor items. 
    Is there anyway to sort these fields so that you see the customer and vendor that are related to eachother together even if you run this for a range of customers?
    Thanks!

    Hiya,

  • Intercompany Netting between Customer and Vendor

    Hi All,
    I have 2 queries regaring netting of customer and vendor open line items.
    1. Is it possible to have netting between vendor of one company code with customer of another company code. Is yes, how do we do that.
    2. It is very much possible to net off vendor and customer for the same company code, but manier times payment proposal ( F110) contains amount in both outgoing and incoming payments, so in order to aggregate the amount to determine final amount to be delievered or recieved we need to manually re-process the same using Edit Proposal option. Using that option we can manually do this. But is there any way in Standard SAP that this manual re-processing is not required and this could be automated.
    Kindly let me know your views on the same. Thanks in Advance!
    Regards,
    Ajay

    Hi Ajay,
    1) Yes it is possible. It is done in the same way, except Intercompany Automatic Posting - Clearing Accounts (Tcode OBYA) need to be configured. We are using clearing account inorder to achieve the same.
    a) Customer invoice
    b) Payment to customer invoice using the clearing account in comapnay code B (At this time Customer invoice in company code A will be cleared).
    C) Vendoer invoice in Company code B
    D) Clearing Vendor invoice in company code B using clearing account belongs to company code B.
    E) At this time, there will be a Debit and Credit amount on Clearing account.
    F) Clearing Debit and Credit using Automatic Clearing SAPF124.
    2) There is no standard SAP delivered rather, you will need to customize to achieve your requirement using BDC.
    Thanks

  • Customer and Vendor are same

    Hi All,
    We have a scenario where vendor is also a customer.
    i have entered customer in vendor master  and vice versa.
    And also i have clearing with vendor in customer master and vice versa.
    But i have posted an entry
    Posting key 21-vendor
    posting key 50-revenue
    but i am unable to see the open item in FBL1N and FBL5N by selecting the customer items and vendor items respectively instead of normal items,
    Did i miss anything?
    Thanks!
    Rajesh

    hii
    It is but obvious that it will not show in FBL5N as it is customer balances.
    u have posted a vendor transaction so in FBL1N u will be able to see.
    the logic is to clear the open item and present a summeried balance whether to take or pay..
    but the proecedure is in both the master books say customer and vendor its appearing as a seperate entitiy with sepearate numbers.
    so it has seperate balances too when taken as a customer and vendor. in this it will not show u balance in customer balance.
    but when u try to clear the open items at that time it will reflect the total means what is to be pain and wht has to be collected &(-) get adjusted and u need to make payment or collect the balancing amount.
    this is the logic for the configuration u made. so system is behaving in right manner.
    please assign points if helpful.

  • F.13 for Customer and vendor

    Hi,
    Like GRIR clearing accounts can the Customer and vendors also automatically cleared? I have seen option in F.13. How is it possible to clear vendor and customer. I understand we made them in OB74 but how, i am confused about clearing criteria. What should i give in it.

    Dear:
             For customer or vendor clearing it is mandatory to have full payment . For customers you will need full recovery against invoice for automatic invoice RV clearance against its corresponding Payment DZ. Eg.
    Doc type      Assignment No         Amount
    RV               1701                         25000
    DZ               1701                         25000
    It will clear the customer invoice against payment based on the assignment number. For this you should book payment with reference to invoice number that is copied from SD using VTFA . Same rules applies for vendors clearance . Hope it will help you.
    Regards

  • Direct Customer and Vendor Creation

    MDG Gurus,
    I am looking for a way/approach using which a customer or a vendor can be created directly without the need of a Business Partner setup in the system.
    This question pertains to SAP MDG 6.1
    Hope the question is clear
    Thanks
    Shantanu

    I agree with Ajithkumar Krishnakumar . In a hub approach, you could replicate only the customer and vendor records without the BP (you will have to build this as out-of-the-box replication will replicate the BP).
    Another solution will be to build a completely custom data model. This means that you will have to build all the access classes, checks and validations, etc.
    I understand that there are many challenges when dealing with the BP object within the MDG context (I'm dealing with these challenges on daily basis). However, it would be a worthwhile investment to try to learn how BP works instead of fighting it as this will help you and your client in the long-run as many applications use the BP functionality.

  • How to handle BP who is both Customer and Vendor during history import?

    Hi Forum,
    This is for importing Financial transactions for Open Sales Orders, Open Sales Invoices, Open Purchase Orders and Open Purchase Invoices and also for importing history for all Closed Sales Orders, Invoices, Purchase Orders and Invoices.
    Our prospect has in their current system Business Partners who are both Customers and Suppliers (Vendors). In SAP Business ONE, BP is unique. It is recommended I believe in situation where BP is both Customer and Vendor, we need to create two BP Ids.
    Question?
    How do we import open and history of invoices in this situation where the same BP is both Customer and Vendor? Any tips would help please.
    Thank you all very much.

    Hi Syed,
    As Gordon and Rahul said, it is painful for you if you import closed transactions.
    Try to compromise your client that to use the old system for last year/old reports.
    Its always good practice to import the Opening balance and even the open documents only.
    If you have partially open items, then import the document for open quantities only.
    Let's say, if you have a sale order with an item of 100 Qty. Among that 100 qty, lets 20 qty has been already delivered then you have to create the sale order in SAP for remaining 80 qty only.

  • Customer and vendor open items

    Hi All,
                What is customer and vendor open items.

    Hello Shailesh,
    When you procure some goods from a Vendor you create a "Vendor Invoice" for it & similarly when you sell goods to a customer you create a "Customer Invoice".
    So in simple accounting terms you need to pay money to a vendor & get money from a customer (i am not getting into complicated cases).
    The vendor invoices for which you have not paid money are called "Vendor Open Items". Similarly the customer invoices for which you have not received money are called "Customer Open Items".
    The SAP tables for this are:
    BSIK --> Vendor Open Items
    BSID --> Customer Open Items.
    Hope this helps.
