Clearing Step
Use
The clearing step is a core component of clearing control. A clearing variant consists of at least one clearing step, up to a maximum of 99. In a clearing step, you define rules for:
How items are grouped together.
How groups, and items in a group, are sorted.
How amounts are assigned to a group.
Partial clearing.
The end of a clearing step, or the next clearing step.
Whether payment is made using a customer module.
The clearing steps run in ascending order, or according to a sequence that you have defined, and are mostly independent of one another. A clearing step transfers the items that have not yet been paid to the following clearing step.
