Definition

Specifies the open amount on the goods receipt (GR) / invoice receipt (IR) clearing account in the currency of the order.

Use

In period-end valuation, the system determines the difference between the amount that has been posted to the GR/IR clearing account by an invoice and the amount that has been posted by a goods receipt. This difference is the open amount on the GR/IR clearing account.

Dependencies

The open amount on GR/IR clearing account is used to calculate the accrual amount for period-end valuation in Materials Management.

Example

In the following example, the provisional invoice (PI) is posted with a smaller quantity than the goods receipt. Therefore, an open balance of 20 USD remains on the GR/IR clearing account, because this quantity was received but not paid for yet. In period-end valuation (PEV), the system calculates the anticipated amount based on the total quantity of the goods receipt:

GR    100 TO for 1.00 USD/TO    =    100.00 USD (posting 100 USD to GR/IR)

PI    80 TO for 1.20 USD/TO    =     96.00 USD (posting 80 USD to GR/IR)

PEV    100 TO for 1.50 USD/TO    =     150.00 USD (anticipated amount)

The system determines the accrual amount as the difference between the anticipated final invoice amount and the posted provisional invoice amount and also considers the open amount on the GR/IR clearing account:

Calculation of accrual amount: 150 USD # 96 USD (PI) # 20 USD (GR/IR) = 34 USD.
