Type of Posting

Use

The type of posting indicates how the returns document is posted.

For example, if a document has already been cleared by way of a cancellation or a final settlement, you must reverse this clearing before you can post the return.

The value selection offers a list of various types of posting that you can select, depending on the type of clearing.

Features

Type of Posting	Procedure in the System
Cancel payment	The system tries to cancel all clearings made by the payment document.
New receivables, if payment cannot be canceled	The system tries to cancel the clearing. If this is not possible, it creates a new receivable on the basis of the receivables document. You can also use this method if the payment document has already been archived.
New receivables, derived from payment	The system creates new receivables items without canceling the payment. In this case, the data for the new items is derived from the items originally paid, and enhanced by the Customizing settings. In the case of a return for a collective bill, the system creates receivables in the individual accounts and a new collective bill document for the total amount of the receivables. The receivables are then visible in the individual account and in the collective account. You can also use this method if the payment document has already been archived.
New receivables, acc. to explicit specification	With this type of posting you can process documents from a legacy or operational system for which there are no document numbers in the SAP system. In this case, the system does not check the selection value you enter (such as the document number of the operational system), but enters it as the reference value in the posting to be created. Switch to the Returns Details screen and enter the required posting data in the Manual specifications tab card.
