SAP Note 13399 - Clearing of the GR/IR clearing account

Symptom:

If the GR/IR clearing account is managed on an open item basis and the
allocation number is formed from the PO and/or scheduling agreement
number and item, transactions relating to longstanding POs and
scheduling agreements cannot be cleared and therefore not archived.

Cause and prerequisites

Goods and invoices are constantly being received for the order and/or
scheduling agreement item, which means that the precondition for
clearing - i.e. the sum of the quantity delivered must equal the sum
of the quantity invoiced - is almost never met.

Solution

1. The more frequently you run the clearing program, the greater the probability that a particular PO and/or scheduling agreement item will be cleared.

2. Before you run the clearing program, you can cancel those transactions (goods receipts or incoming invoices) which prevent clearing. These transactions can be posted back after the program is run.

3. You can find more proposals for a solution in Note 77436.
