Single line item for multiple line item payment.

Question

Hi
I have booked the 3 vendor invoices (in FB60) for a single vendor. Now today i paid (with F-53) all the three invoices together. One payment document number was generated.
However when i saw the vendor line item, i saw that three debit line items was generated for the clearing the open invoices (i..e 3 credit line items). so when i say vendor line item report, there were total 6 cleared line items (3 for credit i.e invoice and 3 for debit i.e. payments)
But is it possible to get  single debit line item for all the three invoices cleared. If yes, please let me know how i can get it.
If i will have one single line item for payment, vendor report would be simpler. Please help

Hi,
1. If you do payment through F-53, then each invoice have separate payment line item. This is not avoidable. If you do payment through F110, then you can group the line items for payment, so there only one payment line item for many number of invoices.
2. While clearing through F-44, system is generating automatic line items because, there are exchange rate fluctuations. You can't avoid these line items, as these automatic line items only match Debit and Credit amounts in order to post the document.
