Clearing of Accounts in s4/HANA: Customer against Vendor and vice versa

Introduction

The purpose of this blog post is to describe how  to clear Vendor  Account along with  Customer Account .In Actual business process, there is possibility that  same company  can be our supplier as well as our customer also. In order Clear Vendor account along with Customer Account and vice versa  , Standard SAP has provided solution for it.

So, let’s start, how  this can we achieve in SAP Standard. Here I choose  same company code in which Supplier and  Customer  are same. The clearing between the customer and vendor can happen by following the below settings,let’s start to change in Vendor Master

In S4/HANA , open T-code – BP ( Business  Partner) . In  this T-Code , system has provided facility that here we can define role for the business Partner. Select BP Role as Vendor FI                 Role .

Vendor Master

Select Vendor : General Data  from General Data Tab, here you can assign Customer Code in Vendor data.

After this , you can choose Company Code Tab  and click Vendor : Payment Transactions Tab. Here , set indicator  ‘Clearing W.Customer’.

 

  • Customer Master

Now , the same way will open Customer FI Role from BP and assign Vendor code in Customer Role.

  Now select Company Code Tab, and set indicator  “Clearing with Vendor “.

Okay…Now we have done with Master Changes. Now let’s Perform the Payment and Receipt Transaction to see the effect in Vendor Clearing – FBL1N and Customer Clearing – FBL5N as well.

Let’s first Create Vendor Invoice in T-code  FB60 .

Here Vendor  Account , 70006802 has credited with Rs. 100000.

Now Create Customer Receipt Document in T-code FB70.

Here Customer Account 1005227 has Debited with Rs. 52500.

Now, Let’s check the Vendor Line Item – FBL1N  and Customer Line Item to see the effect of     Transactions,

Here , You need to select  Customer Items check Box in Vendor Line Item and Vendor Item   Check Box in Customer Line Item.

Here, System is showing Balance amount after reducing Credit Amount from customer Account.

 

So, This is a Standard SAP , which will clear Vendor Account along  with Customer Account and vice versa.

      Your explanation is very clear.

      After ticked the "Clearing with Vendor/Customer" in BP Master data, we are able to view all the transactions for both AR & AP in FBL1N or FBL5N with nett balance in total.

      Can you advice how to knock off or clear the AR documents against AP document and only show the AP documents with a balance of IND47,500 when we view in Open Items status?

      Many thanks
