Security Deposit Clearing restriction removal during Final billing

[Former Member]

Hello All,

When a security deposit is paid, SAP sets the clearing restriction '2' using posting area 1010. Then later when we move-out the customer and when final billing (invoice) is done, the system releases the paid security deposit amount and we can offset this for clearing receivables. This is controlled by event R401. This is fine.

Question: After the final bill is created, does the system remove the clearing restriction '2' from the security deposit paid line item (main/sub = 0020/0010)? Because this line item amount is used for offsetting with other receivables during final billing and I could see the clearing details updated (AUGBL, AUGRD are updated). But does the system remove the clearing restriction indicator '2' from AUGRS or not? I have done some sample final bills in different systems in our landscape, but everywhere the clearing restriction '2' is still there in the line item. Based on this, the invoice print team has written some logic.

Appreciate your help. Thanks.

Thanks,

Sakthi.

Sakthi:

If the paid deposit is also cleared during final billing, then the restriction is not removed.  If it is only released but not cleared by account maintenance in invoicing, then the restriction is removed.

Hi Bill,

One scenario which came across in case of 'MTOP' (Move to other premise functionality where same contract account is used for new contract) here what's happening is that security deposit is getting released when final billing is done, if the user name is not maintained in Customizing table TFK001U , which is used in FM FKK_SAMPLE_1113_USER,

But if the user is maintained in above table it transfer the security deposit to new contract.

Is there any way that no user maintenance is required and it automatically transfer the security deposit to new contract in case of 'MTOP'

Hi Sakthi,

Completely agree with Bill over the SAP standard functionality.

However, if you are looking to remove the clearing restriction 2 during the invoicing process, then I would recommend you to have a look at event 2623, where in you can determine the release of the cash security deposits.

Once the cash security deposit is released, then the clearing restriction 2 removes automatically and they are converted to are converted into payment on account and thus can be used for clearing\outgoing payment.

You can plug in a custom FM which would release the cash security deposit only for final billing scenarios.

Hope it helps...

Thanks,

Amlan

Hi Sakthi,

Not sure why you are using event R401 for releasing security deposit, this is a standard SAP functionaliti, you can control the release and account maintenance during final billing invoicing as part of SAP functionality.
