Clearing difference for GL is not auto posted in Diff GL Account

[Former Member]

Hi All

We have customized all the steps of tolerance of GL account open item clearing--

SPRO- Financial accounting- GL accounting- Business transaction -open item clearing- clearing differences - Define tolerance group for GL accounts-

Here we maintained blank tolerance group for a company code and given debit and credit limit - 100 inr

Then we did define tolerance group for Employees - Here we maintained limits with blank tolerance group..

Then we did Assign user to tolearnce group- this is blank as we want all the employee should cover under the above tolerance, hence a common user name is assigned to blank tolerance group.

Then we assign GL accounts for Clearing differences.

Now at  the time of GL account clearing via F-03 or FB05 , if debit credit amount has difference of any amount ,whether less than 100 INR or more than 100 INR, system is not auto posted the difference in the GL account specified above for differences, it is giving error - difference is too large for clearing. message no.F5263.

Can anyone suggest how system will post automatically in the clearing difference account.

Hi Diwakar

Thanks for your response.

Actually for foreign currency differences system is working fine and posting the exchange rate differences in the account of expense / gain which I maintained in FBKP.

Also my global settings allow me to clear local currency vs forien currency diff in the expense/gain account which I maintained in FBKP.

BUT I need to know when the clearing difference account ( not the expense/gain account of FBKP for exch rate difference) will hit. Which I maintained against the tolerance of GL account clearing differences.

I want to clear a GL account debit and credit item say of 100 INR debit and 99 INR credit and at the time of GL clearing want system to post automatically the difference of 1 INR into the clearing differences account. I do not want to use partial / residual payment differences, since this hits the same GL account for the diffrence amount and not the clearing difference account. Ideally if tolerance allowed, system should post the clearing differences to the GL account defined against it under the SPRO- Financial accounting-GL accounting- Bus transaction- open item clearing- clearing differences- Define GL account for Clearing differences.

If you can give some light on this please.
