In this activity you define clearing variants. A clearing variant consists of two components:
- Clearing variant key
- Clearing steps
Additionally, you can define alternative groupings and ranking orders for the individually used characteristics for each clearing step.
Clearing variant key
The clearing variant key defines the name of the clearing variant. Additionally, a short description of the clearing variant can be defined.
Clearing steps
Every clearing variant should consist of at least one clearing step. The individual steps are to run consecutively in ascending order, as long as no subsequent step rule has been defined explicitly.
The individual steps are largely independent of one another. They only get the amount to be cleared that still remains from the previous clearing step. Items that have been fully cleared in a clearing step are not transferred to the subsequent steps. With the exception of this rule, all clearing steps work independently of one another on the quantity of open items provided.
The definition of a clearing step consists of entries in the:
and the Clearing step end specifications.
Example
Requirements
Standard settings
In the component Public Sector Contract Accounting, SAP delivers clearing variant 020 for the clearing sequence of public law receivables and clearing variant 021 for private law receivables.
With public-law receivables, the main receivables are cleared before the corresponding additional receivables. The opposite is true of private law receivables.
Recommendation
Activities
- Maintain the grouping string
- Define a rule for grouping characteristic values.
- Maintain the sorting string.
