In this activity you can define open item sorting and grouping characteristics. These usually refer to a particular feature, for example when the item is a cash security deposit, or when the item is due. The characteristics defined here are used in a clearing step for two purposes:

One purpose is to group open items. Open items found in one clearing step that bear identical grouping characteristic values are viewed as one unit in this step, for example all items with the same due date. All items in a group such as this are either all included in, or all excluded from, settlement, depending on the clearing rule being applied.

The characteristics are also used to define the sorting sequence for open items. Sorting determines the sequence in which the groups are processed and the sequence in which clearing takes place within the groups.

SAP Standard delivers a selection of grouping and sorting characteristics. If you find these to be insufficient, you can add new ones for clearing control. There are two ways of going about this:

  1. Characteristic is an attribute of the open item

    If the new characteristic is stored in the open item as a database field (database table FKKOP), you can add the characteristic and enter the relevant database field names into the definition for the characteristics. The field Active module will then remain empty.

  2. Characteristic is derived

    If the new module is not stored in the open item as a database field, but is derived from the clearing information available, you can add a characteristic. Select a name in the customer range (X*, Y* and Z*) for the field. The characteristic is then derived using the function module you have entered in the field Active module. This module's interface must correspond to the interface of sample module FKK_SAMPLE_TFK116. You will find detailed information on this in its documentation.

Requirements

Standard Settings

You cannot change the entries that have been delivered to you. You can use the following name ranges: X*, Y*, Z* (customer name range).

If the grouping and sorting characteristics delivered by SAP are insufficient, you can add new ones.

Recommendation

Activities

  • Define the additional grouping and sorting characteristics you require.
  • If necessary, generate a function module to derive characteristics and assign this to the new characteristic.
