2821764 - Clearing of Payment as Source Document in Accounting

You use bank statement to pay supplier invoice and customer invoice. But you find such clearing sometimes shows in Source Document list, but sometimes not.

SAP Business ByDesign

You create bank statement to clear supplier invoice or customer invoice. There is Clearing generated. But you find that such clearing can be found in Source Document list sometimes, while sometimes not.

Whether a clearing is treated as a separate accounting document depends on whether there is separate payment object generated.

The same logic applies for both AP and AR process.

• There is separate payment object of the below steps:

1. Go to Liquidity Management work cetner and common task New Bank Statement.
2. In the 3rd step of new bank statement, select the Customer/Supplier.
3. Select the payment method and then input the amount.
4. Post the bank statement.
5. Go to Liquidity Management work cetner and Bank Statement view.
6. Select the link of Required in Postprocessing field.
7. Finish the clearing and post.

In such a way, the clearing can be found in General Ledger work center and Source Documents view.

• There is no separate payment object of the below steps:

1. Go to Liquidity Management work cetner and common task New Bank Statement.
2. In the 3rd step of new bank statement, select the Customer/Supplier.
3. Select the payment method and then input the amount.
4. Select the Required link in Postprocessing field directly in the UI of bank statement.
5. Finish the clearing and select Save and Back.
6. Post the bank statement.

In such a way, the clearing cannot be found in General Ledger work center and Source Documents view.

It is the designed system behavior.
