Title
Clearing of customer down payments

Purpose
This program enables you to clear open down payment items automaticallywith the corresponding customer invoice and credit memo items.

Features
The program searches for matching items for each down payment item andexecutes a clearing if the amounts are the same. The amount of itemsresulting from the down payment and the remaining items taking part inthe clearing are described in the following clearing lot
The search for clearing lots plays a major role in the program. Bydefault, only the amount of open items are processed and checked foreach down payment, whether the total of the items looked at can becleared with the down payment.
In order to achieve the most flexibility, you can use the process00103510 with the sample function module SAMPLE_PROCESS_00103510 as thetemplate for your own function module and thereby specify an algorithmfor determining the clearing lot.
The program can either update the clearing found directly -this involvesthe incorrect cases being put into a batch input session so they can beprocessed subsequently - or a batch input process will be generatedgenerally and run later. Note that the program cannot post more than 11documents in one clearing lot so as to keep runtime disadvantages to aminimum with the payment selection (program RFFMS200).

Selection
In addition to the ususal selection of open items such as customer,company code and so on, the selection screen contains fields to controlthe clearing postings and the batch input sessions.
If you specify a posting date in the group box posting parameterfor the clearing documents - all clearing documents will be posted withthis date - or select the field Date from newest document, theprogram determines the posting date of the clearing from the latestposting date of all the documents involved in the clearing.
You determine whether the corresponding session names should be postedor not in the group box Session Control. If the field Test is selected, no sessions are generated and no postings take place.The only thing displayed is where a clearing can take place.
In the group box Display, you can specify a variant for preparingthe output list.

Output
A list of all items that can be cleared is issued. If a posting is madedirectly, a list of the posted clearing documents is also created.
