Additional Details
Grouping and aggregating multiple payment plan items within the debit entry can result in a total amount of zero. Unless the system creates a business partner item, the business transaction is not shown through business partner items in the subledger, and are not shown in the account balance display (transaction FPL9
), for example. You can now use Customizing to ensure that business partner items with a zero amount are also created.
Business partner items with a zero amount are cleared directly (with themselves) on posting and are assigned the clearing reason 60
(Cleared Because of Zero Amount).
