Documentation

Definition

Controls how a returns document is created.

Use

Without further specifications, a return is posted as follows:

  • All clearings are reset by using the payment document.
  • All on account, down payment and discount items are cleared in the payment document.
  • An offsetting item is posted for general ledger items such as cash discounts, tolerated payments and exchange rate differences.

You cannot apply this procedure if one of the on account, down payment or discount items has been cleared in the meantime. Clearing can only have taken place during final invoicing or in account maintenance.

The clearings must be manually reset before returns posting, which is not permitted in every case.

Alternative methods for returns posting are available for this reason:

  • Resetting clearing takes place as described above
  • New receivables if the payment cannot be reset
    In this case, the system attempts to reset clearing. If this is not possible, a new receivable is created on the basis of the original receivable.
  • New receivables, derived from payment
    The system creates a new receivable based directly on the original receivable.
  • New receivables according to explicit specification
    The system create new receivable items according to the explicit specifications in the returns lot.
