Hi Experts,
In my current project we have a complex payment/clearing priority which we have configured and the same is working as required when we post a payment using FP05/FPCJ/FPY1.
We have assigned the same clearing variant for in config step Define Defaults for Account Maintenance for clearing type Account Maintenance (03) & Automatic clearing (04).
While executing Tcode FP06 with create proposal its giving us a message - No clearing proposal could be created Message no. >0486
Clearing is also not possible using FPMA.
Can anyone please suggest if we missed any configuration.
Thanks

It is not expected that clearing with payments works the same as when done with account maintenance transactions. A payment is looking at open items. Account maintenance looks at debits and credits to find a match - those are fundamentally different scenarios which are usually not handled by the same variant.
You likely need to define different variants for each process.

Hi Bill,
Our requirement is to treat any credit as payment. That's the reason we assigned the same clearing variant for account maintenance also.
Please let me know how I can use the variant that is working for my payments also for account maintenance.
Thanks

It is usually the case that you have different variants for the 2 different scenarios. I expect you need to copy your payment variant to a new one and make some changes to it.

Hi Satyajeet,
As Bill said the clearing variant for payments will be different compared the clearing variant for account maintenance.
The reason is generally you will groups credits in the first step whether it is a payment on account or some sort of miscellaneous credits and in susequent steps you will mention clients priorities like security deposits or installment charges etc that should get cleared first with the credits grouped in step 1, we had a similar kind of scenario in our client as well.
thnaks,
Vikram
