Clarification of incoming payments
The system provides you with different processing options and tools for clarifying incoming payments. The following postings are possible:
- Clearing open items
- Payment on account
- Transfer to clearing account
- Arranging repayment of amount
You can combine the options, since you can clarify the incoming payment in several partial amounts.
Clearing open items
In the selection proposal, select the required items and choose one of the following functions:
- Post
The items to be cleared are selected automatically and the payment document is posted. If there are no open items, or the payment amount exceeds the open receivables, payments on account are created.
- Post online
The relevant items are selected, but you make the final selection yourself manually.
- Post with proposal
This function is the same as for #Post online#; the system proposes items for clearing.
Payment on account
In the selection proposal, select the required items and the Post on Account field in the Special Use block. If you also specify a posting text, this is included in the item on account. Then choose Post.
Transfer to clearing account
In the Special Use block, enter one of the permitted keys in the Transfer To field. If you want to assign an assignment number or text for the resulting general ledger accounting document, you can use input fields here.
Arrange repayment
In the Special Use block, select the Repayment field. If no payment method is defined for repayments in Customizing, also select the payment method. Repayments are only possible if you know the bank details of the person making the payment. Otherwise the corresponding fields are not ready for input. You can enter a text for the repayment in the Posting Text field.
Partial clarification
If you only want to post the use for part of the payment amount, choose Partial Clarification. A further input field appears in which you can enter the partial amount. After the posting, the amount in the clarification case is reduced.
If you have selected Post Online, and only realize during processing that you can only use a partial amount, navigate from the processing of open items to the general ledger items and reduce the amount of the first general ledger item accordingly.
As soon as you have posted partial clarifications, you can display the previously posted documents via the Clarification Postings tab page.
Posting date of clarification
If the clarification cannot be posted until the original posting period has been closed, you have to use an alternative posting date. If only one company code is affected, or the same posting periods are open for all company codes affected, the next possible posting date is determined automatically. If you are posting cross-company code and different periods are open in the company codes, you may have to enter an alternative posting date manually. Use the button
@1U@ Other Posting Date
Payment order: Executed incompletely
If a payment order was executed incompletely, that is, with a different amount, for clarification use the function
@2W@ Reset Payment Order
You can then (partially) clear the open items that were to be paid with the payment order. You can use the functions Post, Post Online, Post with Proposal.
Tool: Clarification proposal
The system supports you by providing a selection proposal. Via your personal settings, you define when the proposal is displayed, and which data is used to create the proposal. To make your personal settings, choose
@K8@
Read the documentation for the fields on the configuration screen. You can change the proposal, add own items, and, via the function keys,
@18@ Delete Proposed Items
@4B@ Select All Proposed Items
@4B@ Reset the Selection in All Items
In some cases, the clarification proposals that are derived from earlier clarification cases are not helpful.
This applies for example, for payments made by social welfare offices or pension offices. Even though payments are always made from the same bank account, the payments can relate to several different business partners.
Another example is earlier incorrect clarifications. If a payment was assigned to an incorrect business partner, and then later reassigned, the incorrect business partner is always proposed when there is another payment from the bank account.
Using the function Proposals for Bank Account, you can restrict the determination of selection proposals for the bank account being used for payment in the current clarification case. You can also delete the recordings for previous clarification cases if they lead to incorrect selection proposals. This prevents incorrect selection proposals for subsequent payments via this bank account.
Tool: Additional data for business partner
Further detailed information is displayed for the items in the selection proposal. This information always refers to the item in which the magnifying glass appears. To place the magnifying glass in another item, double-click on the required item.
The data of the business partner is displayed, together with the last six payments for the selected partner, contract, or contract account. You can activate or deactivate the display of the last six payments via your personal settings.
Tool: Error-tolerant search
If the person making the payment has made an error when specifying his business partner number, contract account number, contract number, invoice document, or reference number for the document, you can search for similar numbers. To do this, place the cursor on a field in the selection proposal or use text and choose
@13@
The system searches for numbers similar to that in the selected field. Similar numbers are numbers where one character is different, or two characters are the wrong way around. In the numbers found, those where the name of the business partner is most similar to the name of the person making the payment are prioritized.
If you use the classification key, you can also use this for the search. You can also search for business partners with just the name (and optionally the city) in the field Sold-to-Party/Account Holder.
Tool: Selection proposal and last payments on demand
If, in your personal settings, you have defined that the selection proposal or last payments are only displayed on demand, you can trigger the display by choosing
@42@
Tool: Amounts due on demand
If, in your personal settings, you have defined that the amounts due are only displayed on demand, you can trigger the display by choosing
@3Z@
Tool: Multiple selections
If the amount paid is to be distributed to various different partners, contract accounts, or contracts, you can switch the clarification processing screen so that more selections are displayed per screen. To do this, choose
@3S@
You can return to the standard screen for clarification processing by choosing
@3T@
Tool: Long text for last error reported
You can display the long text by choosing
@35@
