If the Post to company code clearing accounts indicator is not set in Customizing for the posting variant you use, when cross-company code transactions take place, this results in balances on the document-split accounts, the recalculation difference account or the payment accounts. These balances illustrate receivables or payables between the company codes.

You can only use summary clearing if balancing the receivables and payables between the company codes involved is permitted and if it is also sufficient to explain the receivables and payables between the company codes from the procedure only.

To use summary clearing, you must make sure that the Post to company code clearing accounts indicator is not set for the posting variant that you use. You make these settings in Payroll Customizing, under ® Reporting for Posting Payroll Results to Accounting ® Activities in AC System ® Create Posting Variants).
