Features

If you perform write-offs in an external system, line items that are posted in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable via this external system are forwarded to the relevant external system via the Outbound Interface for Business Partner Items . The SAP system ( Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable ) holds the items to be written off with clearing restriction T . This means that these items cannot be cleared using other transactions or business transactions. The tax calculation takes place in the external system.

Using the Bill Line ItemInterface , the general ledger items determined for the write-off document by the external system are posted in the SAP system ( Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable ) again. The preselected items to be written off are cleared and the clearing restriction T is deleted. For detailed information about transferring data from external systems, see the documentation for the IDoc interfaces of Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable , section Process Flow of Document Transfer with Revenue Item .
