FI-CA clearing controls

[former_member741496]

We have created a custom grouping ans sorting field which either have "X" or " " based on certain conditions for a document

When doing a payment lot posting, We want the document that are marked " " to be cleared first and only if some amounts still remains then the documents which are marked "X" to be cleared

If two documents are marked "X", the one with oldest due date should be cleared first

Can someone please help me setting the Clearing variant for this?

Thanks in advance

Do you know KBA 1657731?
Please read it and also check the attached cookbook "Settlement Control“.

A very detailed information about the definition of a clearing variant can be found in IMG under customizing node:
