Purpose
See Clearing
Process Flow
This illustration shows the various screens that are displayed when posting and clearing items.
The process of clearing open items includes:
Selecting a clearing transaction
Entering line items (optional)
Selecting open items to be cleared
Posting the clearing document
The system generates a clearing document that consists of:
A document header
Line items you entered
Line items the system generated for clearing the selected and activated items
Other line items generated automatically, for example, cash discounts, tax adjustments, or gains/losses from exchange rate differences
Result
The system enters the clearing date and clearing document number in the open items to be cleared, as well as in the line items it creates to clear the open items.
After you enter a document header and select a clearing transaction, you can carry out these steps in any order. You can alternate between these screens.
