Use

If a payment difference during clearing is within the predefined tolerances, the system can post it automatically.

The system does not require any additional specifications to clear the difference by adjusting the cash discount. However, for posting to a separate gain or loss account, you have to define special rules to determine the appropriate account to post to.

The accounts can be determined based on the following criteria:

Debit or credit

Underpayments and overpayments are posted to separate accounts.

Tax code

The tax code in the line item determines which accounts are posted to .

Reason code

The reason code in the line item determines which accounts are posted to .

Prerequisites

The system also requires the posting keys for debit and credit postings to G/L accounts for automatic postings.

All of these settings are already made for the charts of accounts delivered with the standard system. If you do not use these charts of accounts, you have to change the settings.
