The following table contains descriptions of the most effective procedures for the most important processes. Generally speaking, you use the mouse button and functions. Note that you can also use the command column (see Processing Open Items Using Commands).

Setting items as active or inactive

To

Proceed as follows:

Set individual items as active or inactive

Select the corresponding amount field with a double-click.

Set several open items as active or inactive

Select the desired items individually or in blocks.

Choose the Active or Inactive function.

Assigning clearing amounts

To

Proceed as follows:

Assign clearing amounts to open items

If you set an open item to active, the entire amount of the item is proposed as the clearing amount.

Assign partial amounts

Activate the items and enter the desired amount in the Clearing column.
If you want to assign a remaining difference to one item, double-click the clearing amount field of this item. The system assigns the partial amount that brings the clearing to zero.

Assign amounts with summarized items

See Deactivating Summarized Item Display

Change the amount calculated automatically in an alternative currency in accordance with the exchange rate table during clearing of an item

You can overwrite the translated amount for each item displayed. To do this:

·        Select Translated Amounts Modifiable in the settings under Clearing in Alternative Currency.

·        On the processing screen, select the settings such that the posting and clearing amounts are displayed gross and the amounts are displayed in clearing currency.

·        Make sure you have the authorization for activity 15 of the authorization object F_KK_SOND.

Alternatively you can select a group of items and choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Change Translated Amounts. In this case, a dialog box appears with the total of the items in original currency, the internally translated amount, and input fields for the required amount or the required translation factors. If you default an amount here, this is split over the selected items proportionately.
You can only change the amounts within predefined tolerances. The setting in the field Maximum Exchange Rate Variance in the company code table is decisive. If several company codes are involved, the smallest tolerance specified applies.

Assign cash discounts

To

Proceed as follows:

Allow cash discounts for open items

If you set an item or a group of items to active, the scheduled cash discount is proposed; the cash discount is active if the cash discount date has not expired; the cash discount is inactive if the cash discount period has expired; you can then activate the cash discount by double-clicking the cash discount amount field.

Change the proposed cash discount

Overwrite the cash discount percentage or the cash discount amount. The other value is then automatically updated.
Instead of entering a zero for the cash discount amount or percentage, you can set the cash discount amount to inactive with a double-click. Using the same function, you can reactivate the cash discount.
If you want to set several items as active/inactive, select the desired items and then choose Processing
