Running the Clearing Program (SAP Library - FI Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable)

Running the Clearing Program

Procedure

To execute the clearing program from the General Ledger, Accounts Payable, or Accounts Receivable menu:

Choose Periodic processing ® Automatic clearing.

The initial screen for entering parameters for clearing appears (Automatic Clearing with/without Definition of Clearing Currency).

Specify the accounts you want to clear, select the lists you want the program to generate under Output control, and specify whether the program should clear the items.

Note

If you select the parameter Test run (default), the system outputs a list of the items to be cleared. Clearing is only carried out however, if you have not selected the field Test run.

Choose Program ® Execute, Execute and print, or Execute in background.

Result

Clearing is carried out as long as you have not selected the test run parameter.

The system outputs lists that evaluate the clearing transaction:

A line item list, which can be output in either short form or detailed form.

Additional log. This contains information about the line items that were not selected, and any system messages about the account types for which no items were selected.

You can print the lists by choosing List ® Print.
