Use

If you want to clear open items when entering a document, choose the items you require by specifying selection criteria.

Prerequisites

You have specified the required selection criteria (selection categories) in Customizing (see the IMG structure for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable → Basic Functions → Open Item Management → Specify Selection Categories ).

Procedure

Choose Edit → Select Open Items anywhere within document entry. The Enter Selection Criteria dialog box appears.

Enter at least one of the following selection criteria: Business partner, contract account, contract number, payment form number, payment form reference, document number, reference number, or number of a payment advice note. Selection criteria of the same type are linked with a logical “Or”. For example, if you specify business partner number 4711 and 4712, the system selects the items that are posted to contract accounts for business partner 4711 or 4712. Selection criteria of different types are linked with a logical “And”. For example, if you enter business partner number 4711 and contract account numbers V100 and V101, the system only selects those items that have been posted to business partner 4711 and either contract account V100 or V101. Selection according to the payment advice note cannot be combined with other selections.

You can specify one or more company codes as an additional selection criterion.

Choose Continue . The screen for processing open items appears.

Now process the open items.
