Settings for Clearing Reset

Use

  • When resetting clearing you can determine the extent:Complete clearing
  • Part of clearing

You also define how the clearing amount is to be posted:

  • As a new open item, to one of the business partners involved
  • Distributed among the partners, accounts, contracts, company codes, business areas and divisions involved
  • As a new item on the clarification account for payment receipts

Scope of clearing reset

You can reset just a part of clearing if you wish. You can determine this for any combination of the following data:

  • Business partner
  • Contract account
  • Contract
  • Company code
  • Business area
  • Division
  • Collective invoice number

Select the setting Part of Clearing from the block Scope of Reset. On the next screen you can then select exactly which part of clearing you wish to reset.

Posting the clearing amount

One or more new line items are usually created for the clearing amount that has been reset.

If you wish to post the whole amount to one of the combinations of business partner, contract account, contract, company code, business area, and division involved, choose the setting Create a New Open Item.

If the amount is to be distributed among the business partners, contract accounts (and so on) involved in the same way as the clearing is distributed, choose Retain Distribution to Accounts

Clearing Amount to Clarification Account.

Making settings

The settings given do not apply to the scope of resetting or to the clearing amount posting. This is done to avoid the wrong settings being used by mistake. If you wish to have default settings, you can select the Remember Settings button once you have made your settings.

Dependencies

If you post the clearing amount to the clarification account, a new clarification case is opened automatically or the amount in an existing clarification case is increased.

If you reset the clearing of a collective invoice either wholly or in part, new open items are always posted to the collective invoice account.

With the setting Retain Account Distribution, in the most straightforward case only the clearing information is reset and no open items are created. This is the case when there are:

  • No cash discount, small differences, exchange rate differences, or withholding taxes were posted in clearing
  • No statistical items cleared
