Clearing Invoices That Have Invoice References 

Use

Program FOAP_PROCESS_INVOICES enables you to clear invoices that you have assigned a credit memo request, credit memo, or payment to.

Prerequisites

You have run program FOAP_PROCESS_PAYMENT_ADVICES to transfer the credit memos and payments assigned.

Features

During clearing of the invoices, the program clears all credit memos and payments that have a corresponding invoice reference. This also includes invoice references that have been entered manually.

Once an invoice has been cleared, the program releases the corresponding payment advice notes for reorganization, which means that you can delete them with program RFAVIS20.

Activities

Schedule the program in the form of regular jobs. If you run the program as an update run, the system saves a log. To view the logs saved, use transaction FOAPLOG02.

Example

In the example above (see Transferring Credit Memos and Payments), the program has cleared the invoices as follows:

Invoice	Invoice Amount	Credit Memo Amount Assigned	Residual Item
Invoice 1	500	40	460
Invoice 2	1000	60	940

 

If there had been a dispute case for invoice 1, the disputed amount would have been reduced by EUR 40.
