JVA billing indicator clearing procedures are used to assign billing indicators to JVA clearing postings from FI.

These clearing procedures are used to select postings with a particular billing indicator (i.e., postings a certain type of expense) and substitute another billing indicator during clearing.

Determining which billing indicators should be subject to this translation and which indicators should be substituted during clearing requires a thorough consideration of the specific business requirements of the company, particularly with regard to which expenses should appear on the partner's billing documents.

It is necessary to customize billing indicator clearing procedures to meet the special needs of different companies.

Example

If you have activated billing and operational month for cash call processing for the company and you have accepted the standard billing indicators (i.e., Cash Call Request = 1 and Cash Call Payment = 2), you would want cash call requests to be cleared against payments with a billing indicator for cash call payments, so you would configure the billing indicator clearing procedures as follows:

BI    Clearing Procedure    Clear BI

1                        2

When the cash call payment is received and cleared against the request in FI (transaction FB05), the request (which was assigned a billing indicator of "1" in the JV document) will be matched against the payment and a credit will be booked to the partner with a billing indicator of "2".

Requirements

The clearing procedures define which posting keys can be used for clearings to customer, vendor, and GL accounts. They are defined as part of standard FI configuration. The following clearing procedures are delivered pre-configured for JVA:

Clearing Procedure    Description

JVACLEAR    Regular Clearing

JVACLPMT    Convenience Netting

JVAPAYIN    Incoming Payment

JVAPAYMT    Outgoing Payment

You may wish to review the posting key assignments of these clearing procedures to ensure that they meet your company's business requirements.

Of course, you must have also defined the billing indicators cited here in these JVA billing indicator clearing instructions.
