Additional Information
The system distributes the payment amount between the items found in a payment order according to the rules recorded in the clearing control. The payment order is assigned the status Executed
.
If you display a partially paid payment order (using the transaction FPOR3 in the SAP menu under 
Payments
Payment Run
), the system displays the actual payment amount.
The following restrictions apply to the automatic partial clearing of payment orders:
The system can only distribute the payment amount between items found in the payment order.
You have configured clearing control so that no new on account items are created during the partial clearing.
The system can only process partial payments. It cannot process overpayments.
The payment amount for a partially cleared payment order can only be reversed by new offsetting items using the reversal method 1. The actual payment order is not affected by this type of reversal.
Note
Following the reversal, you must create a new payment order in which you include both the new offsetting items generated by reversal method 1 and the partial items that have not yet been cleared in the original payment order.
