Open Item Clearing Differences - Tolerence Groups for specific GL Acctts

[Former Member]

Dear Forum,

We have a situation where we need to set up different Tolerance Groups for Clearing Differences for different GL Accounts, such as for GL Account for GRIR Clearing Account, we do not want any clearing differences and therefore the tolerance limit should be zero. But for Clearing of other GL Account we intend to set up the tolerance limit, say, upto maximum of USD 1000. The issue is that we can define the Tolerance Groups for Employees under OBA4. However we are not able to restrict this Tolerance Group, with a maximum limit of USD 1000 for Clearing Differences, to a particular GL Account. How can we do this? There is a risk that this Tolerance Group Employee may perform the Clearing of the GL Account for which we want to have zero tolerance.

The suggestions and ideas from experts will be highly appreciated as we intend to resolve this issue.

Hi,

You can define tolerance group for GL account in transaction code OBA0.

T-code (oba0)

(This is to be done before Clearing the GL open Transactions)

Define Tolerance Group for GL Account

Financial Accounting

GL Accounting

Business Transactions

Open Item Clearing

Clearing Differences

Define tolerance for GL Accounts

GL tolerance group should be assigned in GL master data using transaction code FS00.

GL account master data > Company code segment > Control Data > Tolerance group.

If you donu2019t find this field in GL master data then you have review field status of GL account group in IMG.

Thanks!

Hi

You dont have to assign Tolerance for GL in user case, Bcz gl is one but User are different.

You have to assign tolerance for USER only, which is done through tolerance for Employes OBA4

Thanks and Regrds

thanks for reply

yeah when i made tolerance for employee it is applicable for all GL accounts, can i restrict it for only one GL?

Hello

You can define the clearing tolerances individually for the GL accounts. go to " define tolerance groups for G/L accounts " .

Create a new group with the 1000 difference and assign the specific gl account to this group,

Hi Srikusap,

Where do I define the GL Account, I do not see any field/place where I can define the GL Account for the Tolerance Group. Is there another T Code for this assignment?

Thanks for the help!
