In addition to performing clearing, you can also make document changes in account maintenance.
For document changes in account maintenance, define variants for the line layout in the Implementation Guide for
Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable
under
. A variant defines which fields appear as modifiable in an item.
In account maintenance you can switch between both processing views
Clear/Change
. You can make document changes directly in the item. Alternatively, you can make a change for several selected items simultaneously.
In addition to document changes, you can also split line items. You can combine clearing, splitting, and changing with few restrictions.
You define the modifiable fields via the structure FKKOP_CHG. In detail these are:
Specifications for due date (due date for cash discount, cash discount percentage rate, due date for net payment, deferral date)
Specifications for payment (payment method, payment grouping, details of alternative payee)
Specifications for dunning (dunning procedure, exclusion indicator)
Interest key
Text
Locks (up to two each of payment locks, dunning locks, interest locks)
The restrictions that apply to the transactions
Mass Change of Documents
also apply to the field changes. You should also consider the following points:
Locks of one category (payment lock, dunning lock, interest lock) can only be changed for an item if there are no more than two locks. A maximum of two locks of the same category can be set at any one time.
Example
If the payment locks
A
,
B
and
C
are set simultaneously in an item, the locks for this item cannot be processed.
Where document items are displayed summarized (several items are displayed cumulated in one item), you can only change fields that have a unique value that is displayed in the item displayed.
Example
If three items with a different text (field OPTXT) are displayed summarized, '*' is displayed in the text line and no change is possible. If you switch to the individual display, you can change the text in any of the three items.
Special features for filtering and sorting the lock fields
For each lock category (dunning, payment, interest), two lock reasons can be displayed in the list together with their validity data. When you filter and sort by lock reason or validity date, the system always considers both columns.
Example
Place the cursor on the first dunning lock reason and choose the pushbutton
with the quick info text
Filter
. In the dialog box that appears, enter the value
A
– this means that you are searching for items with the dunning lock
A
. The system displays all items where the first or second dunning lock has the value
A
filtered.
Place the cursor on the first dunning lock reason and choose the pushbutton
with the quick info text
Sort in Descending Order
. If there are items with the dunning lock reasons
A
,
B
, and
C
, the items with dunning lock
C
appear at the beginning. It is irrelevant whether
C
is entered as the first or second dunning lock. The items with dunning locks
B
and
A
follow.
