Intercompany subledger clearing

[sachin_thombre]

Hello All,

I am working on requirement where, client is asking for clearing of Intercompany Customer & Vendors in automated manner. 

Example below, Inter Co Custer & Vendor should be in automated manner 

Dr. Vendor 1  $100; Cr. Inter Co Customer $100  [Company Code 001]

Dr. Expense   $100; Cr. Inter Co Vendor $100  [Company Code 099]

(1) Can you suggest SAP standard solutions for this requirement, how this can be automated? 

(2) Until the automated solution is in place, what can be manual solutions to clear existing line items, may be one time clearing (since there are huge entries, which business team is performing for manual clearing)

Thank you...

Hello Sachin Thombre, 

In practice, it depends on business requests on how those intercompany transactions should be cleared:

1. If the company accepts that all intercompany transactions can be cleared without considering whether those are matched or not, which means whether a posting happens in one company is also corrected posted in the partner company, then the user can use the manual clearing transaction, select one company code specific partner company's transactions, and clear the total debit or credit amount with the target account amount. 

2. If the company only wants to clear the intercompany transactions when matched, then it can use the intercompany reconciliation solution. Using the solution, the company can match the individual transaction documents or aggregate the documents for matching. However, there is no standard solution for automatically clearing the intercompany documents in company codes after the matching. Customers can self-develop a class to call the clearing program to clear the company's postings. 

For example:

company A has an intercompany document 1000001 with partner company B

for the same transaction, company B posts the intercompany document 2000001 with partner company A

business request: if these two documents are matched, then clear both documents 

To achieve this, the company can execute the following steps:

1) Use the ICMR matching program to check whether these two documents are matched with each other;

2) If those two are matched, then trigger a follow-up action (self-developed in ICMR) to create a clearing posting in company A to clear document 1000001 and a clearing posting in company B to clear document 2000001.
