alternative clearing FICA

[sanoficep]

Hello Experts,

Currently I am working on ISU company code, and I would enhance their existing treasury model in order to decrease the exception list when importing electronic bank statement (FP05).

Now the system detect the invoice number in note to payee and check the open items, if the payment is eaqual to invoice or not.

but it's not enough and they would improve the process by adding these business rules :

- Use another identification than invoice number like contract number or partner number to identify the invoice even no invoice number in note to payee. (I know that here is a configuration step to add those field as new criteria but I don't know how to link them with above clearing rules)

- After identification SAP should post the payment on contract number, and if :

- payment = invoice ==> do the clearing
- payment <> invoice ==> no clearing but post the payment on contract number (as down payment)

- if SAP identify the invoice number but it's closed item and not open item, they would also post the payment on contract number (because they said that may be the invoice is wrongly cleared)

and after posting the payment without clearing we need to find a program (automatic clearing) to check every day if SAP can clear payment with invoice in the same contract number.

So do you know how can I customize these clearing rule and if not, are there any enhancement that can be done (Exit, BTE, ...) ?

Thank you very much

Hello,

the clearing control will manage your requirement regarding the payment assignment. There is an interesting cookbook with a lot of information about the clearing control. In SAP KBA 1657731 you’ll find the location of this cookbook.

When the assignment was not possible and you post a payment on account, you can use the mass activity automatic clearing with transaction fpma in the future. This transaction will also use the clearing control and will check if a clearing is possible (in the meantime).

Best regards,
Ronny
