Automatic Account Maintenance 

Use

If you want to carry out account maintenance for a large number of contract accounts or business partners, in additional to manual account maintenance, you can use the mass transaction Automatic Clearing.

Prerequisites

You have made the settings for clearing control for creating an automatic clearing proposal in the Implementation Guide for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Basic Functions ® Open Item Management ® Clearing Control.

With the settings that you make under Business Transactions ® Automatic Clearing, you can also influence how the clearing documents are composed by using the assignment of the corresponding grouping variants to define whether a clearing document is to be posted, for example, for each contract account, contract reference, or another item grouping.

See also the documentation for the individual IMG activities.
