Example: Payment with Clearing
The payments are posted with payment lots. Thereby, one or more items of an invoice document are cleared. The FM account assignments assigned are inherited from the business partner item to be cleared.
Note
No business partner item for payment clearing
When you clear documents in FI-CA, no business partner items are written. The information required is stored in the document header and determined from the cleared documents. For the sake of simplicity, however, the term business partner item is used below.
The business partner items are relevant for the
Funds Management
update and are marked as FM category
C
(
clearing
). The G/L items are usually only relevant for updating G/L accounts in Accounting and do not have any FM category assignment (the exception is when you are making postings with exchange rate differences).
The line items are grouped together in the totals table for each reconciliation key as summarized data records according to FM account assignments and FM categories and further criteria (not included in the example).
The example illustrates the complete payment clearing with the amount –200 of an open item (that of the invoice item is not represented) and the update in
Accounting
and
Funds Management
. In
Funds Management
, the update causes a reduction document
Reduction Document –200
and a payment document
Payment 200
to be created. In
Accounting
, the receipt of payment is mapped in a bank account and, for the business partner, in a reconciliation account.
To keep the graphic simple, data entry and update for a single document are represented. This means that the amounts of the line items and the data records of the totals table are the same.
