Clearing with out posting

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am doing overpayment for a contract in CML. I want to generate a clearing document with out posting to clear

existing open items.

Could you please me and let me know if you want any other details.

Thanks

Gowri.

Hi gowrishankar Malyala

possibly I do not fully understand your requirement.

A clearing document is called a clearing document because it is used to clear (close) an open item. If you want the clearing document withour clearing, you may cancel it after clearing. The you have the open item again open and the clearing document canceled but still existing as canceled document.

Hi,

I want a clearing document to be generated without clearing the open items, is it possible?. or after clearing how to cancel the clearing document. Actually I want a clearing document to clear open items but my program is posting the clearing items as well.

Thanks

Hi gowrishankar Malyala,

your quaetion should be discussed with an accountant first. The secret of accounting is that every posting consists of a number of (at least 2) items, i.e. an achievement posted negative and a payment claim positive. This payment claim appears as open item. This may be involved in the follow-up clearing posting. The clearing may be triggered by a payment or a write-off. The clearing document has (at leas) the initial open item (payment claim) and clearing item, i.e. the payment.

So the question remains what your aim is in business accounting terms.

You may cancel the same way as you post: Just reverse the signs of all items amounts an set the cancel indicator.

There are BAPIs that will do everything for you, just give the number of the document to cancel an a cancel reason.
