process

is not initiated by another event and requires the appropriate

credits and debits to exist on the vendor account to enable clearing.
This vendor account clearing transaction differs from a Post with
Clearing transaction (transaction F-52) in that you do not need to enter
a document header: simply match existing open items, and you can
only clear open items from one account.
F-47
Down Payment Request: Header Data
This transaction is used to post a down payment request for advances
to vendors. The posting is a noted item on a vendor account and does
not update the general ledger balances. The down payment request is
posted to a special general ledger account that can be viewed in
accounts payable line item display as a noted item. A vendor check
can be printed and posted using transaction F-58 in reference to a
vendor’s down payment request.
F-48
Post Vendor Down Payment: Header Data
Use this transaction to record a down payment made to a vendor. A
down payment can be recorded with or without a down payment
request (a down payment requested is a noted line item on the vendor
account that can be recorded via transaction F-47). A down payment is
recorded, via a special general ledger indicator, to a general ledger
account other than the accounts payable account and then is cleared
against the vendor invoice using transaction F-54.
F-49
Customer Noted Item
Use this transaction to post a noted item on a customer’s account
using a special general ledger account. A special general ledger
account can be configured to not update account balances. This is
also the case with a down payment request and bill of exchange
payment request.
F-51
Post with Clearing: Header Data
Use this transaction to post and clear debits and credits from across
multiple vendor accounts. The posting header data is entered followed
by the offset posting account and amount. Open items can be chosen,
processed and saved with a unique clearing number and date. This
process will allow the user to select multiple open items and select
debit and credit amounts for clearing against each other.
F-52
Post Incoming Payments: Header Data
This transaction posts an incoming payment to a vendor account and
clears the open item, for example, to clear a credit memo. Enter the
clearing document header (bank information and customer
information), select a clearing transaction, choose open items you
want to clear, process the items selected and post the clearing
document. You also have the option to post additional line items as
part of the clearing process. This posting is not integrated with the
materials management purchasing module.
F-53
Post Outgoing Payments: Header Data
Use this transaction to post checks that have been created manually to
pay a vendor (i.e., perhaps typed or hand-written checks). A check will
not be generated in SAP but the vendor and cash accounts will be
updated appropriately. Enter the clearing document header (bank
information and vendor information), chose the open items you want to
clear, process the items selected and post the clearing document. For
automatic accounts payable payments, use transaction F110.
F-54
Clear Vendor Down Payment: Header Data
This transaction is used to clear a vendor down payment manually
against a vendor’s invoice. Use the vendor’s invoice as a reference to
clear the special general ledger account and record the accounts
payable entry. The vendor down payment can also be cleared
automatically using the payment program via transaction F110.
F-55
Enter Statistical Posting: Header Data
Use this transaction to create a noted special general ledger posting,
