Hi,

Posting of AB document is just an intermediary for linking the open invoice and the corresponding clearing document. This AB document posted which links the open invoice with the clearing document does not have any debit or credit entries, its just a document posted as part of the process.

Therefore AB document type does not have any impact on the GL balances however the process of clearing, which the posting of document type AB completes does impact the GL balances. For example a balance of 100 USD under Accounts Payable when cleared is removed from the Accounts Payable balance and is then reflected under Cleared amounts. However the cleared amount is from the clearing document and not from the intermediary document AB posted.

On the same lines there can never be a scenario wherein the AB document would have an imbalanced debit and credit amounts based on the explanation above.

Thanks and Regards,
