"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental." 

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Schedule or run the automatic clearing job for GR/IR with a filter that restricts processing to the current fiscal year only.
  2. Review GR/IR open items where one document was posted in the prior fiscal year and the matching document in the current fiscal year.
  3. Observe that these cross-year items are not selected or cleared by the job.

Cause

The Fiscal Year filter in the Parameters tab restricts the selection of values in the previous year.

Resolution

  1. Open the Parameters tab of the Automatic Clearing job.
  2. Remove the restrictive fiscal year filter (for example, a filter set only to the current year).
  3. Save the parameters, rerun the job, and verify that the cross-year GR/IR items are selected and cleared.
