Reference document no and automatic clearing

Dear All,
The desired clearing variant of my client is Current invoice + FIFO
So lets say i have 3 open invoices in customers account as follows :
Due date 22 June 2010 Amount 1000
Due date 22 July 2010 Amount 2000
Due date 22 August 2010 Amount 1500
Then a payment of 2000 should clear the 22 Aug invoice by 1500 and 500 of the 22 June invoice
To achieve this My client is invoicing customers with the billing document number as the 'reference document' no. When we recieve payments(from check lot) the payments have the reference document no of the invoice against which the payment was made(which is usually the current invoice). When payments are processed by payment lot, it clears the current invoice since it finds a matching ref doc. However, it posts a credit open for the remaining amount(500 in this case) since the ref doc of payment is different from the ref doc of any open item left. Can we prevent this? Can the system ignore the ref doc and clear items as per the clearing variant?
One solution was to use automatic clearing to clear remaining amount. However, one big problem with automatic clearing is that if you group open items by any characteristic then clearing variant treats the credit open as a separate group. So it makes different groups of credit open and of open invoices and since it cant find both of these in any single group therefore no clearing takes place.
If this question seems too complicated then please feel free to ask details. Your help would be highly appreciated

Dear evolderen and Amlan,
Thanks for your reponses.
Now the problem is that if i put reference number in the payment then payment lot would only select those open item for clearing which have the same ref doc as the payment. So what will happen is that it will only clear the current invoice. It DOES NOT go to step 2 of clearing variant. It simply leaves a credit open.
What i would like is that the clearing variant goes to step 2 and clears items on a due date basis even if the ref doc of these open invoices do not match the ref doc of the payment
I hope i conveyed the problem properly

Clearing control and Automatic clearing

Hello,
1.Why Automatic clearing(Business Transactions) is different from Clearing Control?
2.How Automatic clearing is linked to the Contract account?
3.Is it possible to mention both automatic clearing control and clearing control at two different fields so that based on my rquirement it should pick up automatically for to clear the open items through FPY1(payment Run)
4.How to overrule the clearing control settings for the contract account for to auto pick off Automatic clearing?
Regards,
Narn

Naren,
1.I hve looked into Auto clearing process but Can you give an example for to make me clear..
Best example is that you migrate your open items and open payments separately and you want to Set off open items and Open payments using some rules. This is done via FPMA.
2.Is that function module need to create user defined characterstic key?
You need to copy the standard, modify and attach it in the config in clearing rules
3.Can u explain clearly how the sytem is auto pickick off Automatic clearing over clearing control for certain grouped due items
It all depends on how you configure your clearing rules.
Criteria may/can be any or few of the following:
1. Oldest item first
2. When Invoice and Amount matches
3. When Invoice and Amount matches but with in Tolerance limits
4. When Invoice and Amount matches but outside Tolerance limits
5. Partial payment- to be posted as On Account or Clarification Account
6. Partial Payment to be posted to Division Gas first
7. If Parital Payment, to be divided among Gas, Electricity & Water in 50:40:10 ration <some ratio>
8. Treatment of partial payments different for Group Customers and Individual Customers
9. Treatment of Partial Payments to be linked to your Creditworthiness
10.Clearing Rules based on Collective and Non Collective CAs'
Much more......it all depends on how this is needed in your project & usually differs from Project to Project.
Does this help?

Document saved(no automatic clearing) during VF11

Hi experts,
I cancelled an invoice document through VF11. Cancellation invoice was also created, but when i save this, i get the message
"Document xxxxxxxxx saved(no automatic clearing)".
Note:Invoice is of zero value.
This doesnt financially affect but i want to know why this message appears in green while saving. its not normal.
I have already searched the forums. but doesnt help relating to this. its either related to value invoices or other issues to cancellation.
Hence seeking ur replies.
Thanks
Pre

Hi Preethi,
This error occurs when the original invoice A that has been cancelled has its accounting "cleared".
By cancelling the Invoice A with new cancelled invoice as B, system does not automatically reverse the accounting entries.
You need to get the accounting reversed manually for which the payment is already recieved.
Hope this is helpful.
Regards.

Accounting documents not getting automatically cleared.

Dear Experts,
User posted the sales Billing invoice and delivered the order...later on he cancelled the Billing invoice in VF11 then it generated reversed billing document and accounting entry.
But the system still shows billing entry and reverse entry as open items in Accounting.
Please provide the solution to get cleared automatically.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
Please take a look at OSS Note 1363713.
The reason that you cannot have auto clearing is the new functionality ("Ledger Selection is Active" in OCCI) in new release.

EBS - Reference document number search for clearing open item

Dear Experts,
I am currently implementing EBS with MT 940 stattement for bank reconciliation.I want to clear open item, for out going cheque, during posting by reference field (XBLNR) where cheque number maintained.As per MT 940 statement this cheques number is mentioned in 86 line as follow
:61:1102280228DR19961,NCHK682486 //51070
:86:47558011XYZ ROAD
But when I import bank statement, system recognise 682486 as reference field which is in 61 line and clears the open item.
my requirement is for outgoing check system should recognise 86 line reference and other direct payment or inter bank transfer, system should consider 61 line reference.
I have created different posting rule for Outgoing check and direct payment/Inter bank transfer.
I tried to find such issue in forum but did not found any help.
If need to use search string then how to configure for this and what algorithm to be used for the same.
looking for solution
Regards
Sanjay D

Hi,
If you are talking about line item level, then it is called Allocation Number. At the header level, it is called Reference number.
This is controlled using the copy control for billing - at the header level control.
The reference number & allocation number once maintained in the configuration, will show up in the Accounting doc - header level & item level, respectively.
For example - if the customer payment always refers to his PO number, then it really helps to use the allocation number for the accounting doc line items - which helps in clearing incoming payment faster. In this case, the reference number could be our delivery number. This is one of the examples for using both Ref & allocation #'s.
Hope, this helps!

IMac shut down unexpectedly and automatically cleared cache + reset safari

for weeks now i've been dealing with the terrible problem my g5 shutting off for no apparent reason. it's happened anywhere from 2-50 times per day. on nearly ever occasion when the computer restarted it made the loud 'vroom' noise it typically does, but the last time it shut down there was no 'vroom' and when i went to safari my entire history had been reset. is there anyway to retrieve this (yes, i know it's probably the least of my problems, but there are a few things for a few weeks ago that i'd very much like to get back to TODAY).
thanks,
Jeremiah

Link between invoice no and payment clearing document no

Hi sap gurus,
in a reoprt i have to show the payment receive date against the invoice no. i can have the invoice no by customer no (KUNNR) and date range. now i am facing problem how to link invoice document no with payment clearing document no. Because while receiving payment from customer (t code F-28) we are receiving against a invoice. But i checked in BSEG,BSID BSAD but nowhere i was able to track the linkage. Please help.
regards,
BKR

In billing document at header level, you can see two fields, viz.
a) XBLNR Reference Document Number and
b) ZUONR Assignment number
These two fields you can see in FBL5N. Whatever copy control you set in VTFL at header level for these two fields, based on that values will be populated in billing document which will then be passed on to FI just for information.
But these two fields are not stored in any table but in structure. However, you can check in BKPF with field XBLNR which will have link between VBRK (billing document ) and BKPF (Accounting document)
thanks

Automatic clearing for bills of exchange

HI,
We are looking at ways to make a automatic clearing with special G/L indicator for bill of exchange.
Does anyone who knows the way to make this recording from f.13 or similar tcode?
Thanks
Best Regards

Dear Emanuele,
In reference to your question about f.13 and automatic clearing with special G/L indicator for bill of exchange please note the following
The clearing of special G/L processes e.g. BOE, requires a more complex treatment as you can find in the following description. Please also review the documentation of SAPF124.
The following items are not cleared by SAPF124
o   Noted items
o   Statistical postings and certain special G/L transactions (down
    payments and bills of exchange)
o   Items containing withholding tax postings (country-specific).
BoE is special transaction and should be handled only using mentioned below transactions:
1) invoice (p. ex. TA: F-22)
2) payment run (TA: F110 / F-36 / FBW2)
3) presentation of BoE (TA: FBWE / F-33 - Discounting
                                   F-34 - Collection
4) clearing of document (TA: FBW4 / F-20)
5) customer does not pay (TA: FBZG)
Hope this information is helpful to you. I could not find any program for automatic clearing, you can check FBWD which is a manual process to clear bill of exchange.
Kind Regards
Soumya

SAPF124 Automatic clearing program

we need to populate fields with business area & Box Number for both manual clearing (Trans F-03, F-32, F-44, F-04) and automatic clearing (Trans F.13 & F13E - Program SAPF124 & SAPF124E) transactions in SAP Ledger for Treasury postings .
Treasury postings will be loaded into SAP CFI via two specific document types (CG- Treasury cash Posting and CH Treasury Accrual Postings).
The box number will be stored in the allocation field (BSEG- ZUONR) on the account line item level. As a consequence remeasurements/revaluations have to be executed on that level as well. Business area will be stored in (BSEG-GSBER).
For the automatic clearing programs (SAPF124 & SAPF124E) a change will be need to incorporate this population logic on the exchange rate difference. Also, for the manual clearing is there a user exit we could use to accommodate this?

Dear Venkat,
The problem that you have described may have to be broken into two separate parts. One you may have make enhancement to the program 'SAPMF05A' and then to the ones that you indicated.
SAPMF05A does not have any customer exits but it does have a lot of badi's. Since you havent really given your business scenario, i cant choose one for you. However you can list all BADI's in SAPMF05A by doing the following,
1. OPEN SAPMF05A in SE38 (Display)
2. Search for the word 'cl_exithandler' in Main Program.
This will give you all the points where a BADI is available in SAPMF05A.

Automatic Clearing through FESR

Dear All,
We are using FESR for posting the customer payments and automatic clearing. While it works for the payments which has no difference but for small differencesit it only post the payments but does not create a clearing document. So we have to run F-32 to be able to clear the such customers.
Strangely, a tolerence limit is set at company code level that is why it clears through F-32.
Why is it happening, does any one has idea about the settings for FESR? Does it allow payment differences?
Help will be suitably awarded with points.

Hi Vijay,
Please find the pre requisite for posting the incoming Payments thru BESR or VESR
Prerequisites
1. The content of the data carrier must be transferred to a UNIX file. RFESR000 needs a Cleaned-up version, containing records of 100 bytes in length.
If the original file is delivered on MS-DOS diskettes (3 1/2" or 5 1/4"), you can use program RFESR100 to compile. For other data carrier formats, you need to adapt program RFESR100.
2. In the Accounting configuration menu, you must, for each POC subscriber, maintain a Document type, company code, incoming payment account, and payment clearing account, so that you can create batch input sessions.
In the Bank POC; you must also specify the customer ID number. You must not fill this field in the Post POC.
Hope you satisfy all the conditions, as there is no separate clearing rule, there should not be any problem in automated clearing.
Regards
Bharat

Can you explain what is your requirement..?
Do you want to correct the data in the report..?
Or it is effecting your availability control and you want to correct it..?
Or you want to trace a deleted document..? Which is not possible...

Reference document as quotation

Hi,
I am picking up sales data from VBAP and also picking up the reference document no and line item. I would only want to pick up those documents where the reference document is a quotation. Could you please suggest on this.

HI,
go to the VBFA( sales document flow table ) and pass the subsequent document as sale order number and i hope there is preceeding or subsequent document catogory . pass the quotation if its preceeding or pass sales order if its subsequent document.
if you find any record,it means those documents are made with ref. to quotation. if you dont find , it means the sales order is directly made without quotation.

F.13 automatic clearing question and F-03 generate document question

Hi Experts,
I have two questions below.
1. What's difference between F.13 and F-03?
Due to when I use F.13 to automatic clearing GL account, we found out that the system generates docuemnt has content.
(use Fb03, check the document number and found out the Dr and Cr account)
But when I use F-03 to manual clearing GL account, but we found out the system generate document has not any content.
(Use FB03 to check the document number, but I cannot found out the Dr and Cr account)
2.I intend to use F.13 to automatice clearing one GL account. My question is that whether the system could use FIFO to automatice clear document under matching condition.
Regards,
H.J.

Automatic Clearing for Customers and Vendors

Hi,
We want to clear the open items at a time for the customers and vendors.
Ex: Cutomer "A" contains 15000 Dr(20 Line items), 12000 Cr(15 Line items) and closing balance 3000 Dr
Now we want to clear the all open items at a time and remaining(3000 Dr) balance for open items.
We don't want Manual Clearing(F-32)
Is this possible through F.13 or others?
Thanks in advance

No you cant
The automatic program groups items from an account together where they have the same
entries in the following fields:
Reconciliation account number
Currency
Special G/L indicator
Five freely defined criteria from document header or line item, for example,
assignment field, reference number, and so on.
If the balance, in local currency, of the items within a group is zero, the system
automatically clears them and creates clearing documents.
All accounts requiring automatic clearing must be defined in Customizing.
The automatic clearing program does not clear:
Noted items
Statistical postings and certain special G/L transactions relating to bills of
exchange
Down payments can only be cleared if down payment clearing items of the
same amount have already been posted.
items with withholding tax entries
