06 does not exist.  have you used the dropdown to choose the value from the list?

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your reply!

Yes exactly I used F4 help to choose 06.

Hi Amit.

Clearing type 06 is clearing type for payment run. As the payment run "knows" what should be cleared, it normaly isnt considering the clearing control.

The error means you can not define variant for that clearing type under that specification. For example, you cant define clearing variant for types 03 (Manual Account Maintenance) and 04 (Automatic account maintenance) in the "Define Defaults for Incoming Payments" configuration - this will give you the same error, as you should define variants for clearing types 03 and 04 in the "Define Defaults for Account Maintenance" configuration.

Hi Marko,

Thanks for your reply!!!

As you tell, we can not define clearing variant under clearing type 06,then is it not possible to apply logic to clear open items like groping or sorting string characteristics.

Hi Amit.

Can you describe your business scenario where you need this?

In payment run, the program knows exactly which items you want to pay (or return to customer; or request direct debit payment) and in which amount. It then creates a document which clears those items.

Hi Marko

There is not any specific requirement to do so,

Actually we wanted to clear open items by FPY1,but no open item was picked.

I thought it might be issue of clearing variant,but I was wrong,anyway you cleared my doubt.

Thanks Marko
