How to reset cleared items in closed posting periods?

[gnzl007]

First off, a clearing document always = 0, why on earth does a module need to be open to reset it? 

Secondly, how do I reset a cleared document that is in a closed period in AR? 

E.G The payment received in March, cleared against an open item in January. The period is now April. I don't want any postings to be made, all I want to do, is allocate the payment against a different invoice. Not hard (you would think). 

Thanks in advance...

It get's better! Resetting the cleared document in the open period, (being a payment received from the customer), credits the bank. So we have to re-create the payment received, and have transactions in the bank that are completely unrelated to the open period. How this ERP system is so popular i'll never understand.

Hi 

To reset a cleared document in a closed period in Accounts Receivable (AR) without making any postings, follow these steps:

1. Use Transaction: Go to transaction FBD1 (or FBRA for resetting) to reset the cleared document.

2. Document Selection: Enter the clearing document number and the relevant company code.

3. Reset Cleared Document:
Execute the reset process. This will unlink the payment from the cleared invoice without posting anything.

4. Reallocate Payment:
After resetting, use transaction F-28 (or F-30) to reallocate the payment to the desired invoice.

5. Handling Closed Period: Since the period is closed, ensure that no postings are made; only the allocation is updated.

6. Check: Confirm the new allocation and ensure everything is accurate in your AR records.

This method allows you to reallocate payments efficiently while maintaining the integrity of closed periods.

Hi, in regards to point 5 - how do I "ensure that no postings are made; only the allocation is updated"? My system automatically posts when using FBRA. FBD1 is for setting up a recurring document so not sure how that is relevant here?
