Incoming payment clearing

[Former Member]

Hi,

for the incoming payment clearing can we stop allocating payments to step1 and clearing should be happened within the step1 grouping debit and credit

payment allocation should be started from the step2

Eg: in the customer has the SD release and request it should be cleared first in the step1,

incoming paymnet should start clearing allocation from step2 onwards oldest due first

we are following two contract model, each contract will have the Security deposit, if security deposit released it should clear any other contract SD request,

othwerwise oldest due first,  

i have configured the step1 grouping the main 0020, however if the customer doesnot have the security deposit release from one contract and SD Request,

incoming payment clearing as per the step1, SD first and going to the step2

Thanks,
Ganesh

Hi Ganesh,

I think you are looking to automate the re-allocation of the payments coming out of the SD Release in the System.

So, as per your business process, the rule is-

A payment released from an SD or any new incoming payment will clear an existing open SD first (if any). If not, it will clear the open items based on their due date (with oldest items being cleared first)

For any new incoming payments, the clearing rule can be configured based on the document no as grouping string and main transaction and due date as Sorting String.

Then rank the main transaction as 0020, it will solve the purpose.

Now for an existing payment released from SD, you need to do some development, as when you are releasing a SD, the released payment doesnot comes into the FKKCL structure for clearing automatically.

It needs to be pushed in to the FKKCL structure through development, so that is considered as a new incoming payment.

Event 870 gets triggerred during the SD release, so if you call event 0111 and pass the payment details, then the develop a code to clear the SD first, then it will cater your requirement.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Hi Amlan,

thanks for the quick reply

our requirement below constraints are SD release open at the time of incoming payment and both clearing in incoming payment lot

·               Security deposit release should be cleared within the Division request, left over between the Division SD Request

·               Security Deposit Released should be cleared within the Division open items left over between the Division’s

·               Oldest due first, Within the due date as per the below FIFO 

We have the scenario like below

At the time of the incoming payment we have the released security Deposit open and allocation of SD and incoming payment at a same time, first two steps should execute for the Security Deposit credit item and in step3 only allocation of Incoming payment should happen,

Security deposit can be released during the customer payments will be posted during the day,

In account maintenance we are able to achieve the same, however same variant using the incoming payment for the clear the above sequence.

Hi,

The clearing functionality for account maintaineance and incoming payments behave differently.

The account maintaineance considers all items (exisitng+new) for the clearing settlement, where as the incoming payments considers only the new items for the clearing settlement.

Now, when you are releasing a SD, the payment coming out of it is considered as an existing open payment item by the system and not a new incoming payment.

So, if you want to make this show as an incoming payments, you have two options-

(a) You can reverse the incoming payment to Payment clarification worklist (CWL) and then again post that back to the account. In this scenario, the system will consider it as a new incoming payment and will trigger the settlment rules fro incoming payment and will settle the payment as per the clearing steps.

(b) However, if you want to automate the re-allocation of SD release payment with the incoming payments, you need  to push it to the FKKCL structure through development, so that is considered as a new incoming payment.

Hope it clarifies.

Thanks,
