Introduction There are business requirements where you need to automate customer clearing process (Posting with Clearing) Transactions being used; • F-28 •
FB05
When there are large number of customer payments, it is very difficult to process and post them manually. By automating this process, users can minimize data entry errors too. It is important that the payment amounts, invoice amount, bank charges, service charges, etc. match in order to do successful posting. The function module that used to accomplish this task actually a BDC recorded using FB05.
Basics steps to follow •
Have amounts ready for posting
•
Call FM POSTING_INTERFACE_START to initiate
•
Then call FM POSTING_INTERFACE_CLEARING to post
•
Finally call FM POSTING_INTERFACE_END to complete
Example Customer pays 2 payments (multiple payments) for 3 invoices (multiple invoices). Bank deducts bank charges.
Customer Invoices Inv 123 $200 Inv 234 $300 Inv 456 $400
Customer Payment Payment 1 Payment 2

Steps to follow Have the values ready for posting • •
Company Code Document Date
•
Posting Date
• •
Document Currency Document type
• •
Reference number for the accounting document Customer number
•
Customer invoice document numbers to be cleared
• •
Bank account number and the amount Bank service charge account and the amount
Call the function module POSTING_INTERFACE_START
Call the FM with below parameters
Call the function module POSTING_INTERFACE_CLEARING
If POSTING_INTERFACE_START is successful, then start processing this function module.

Customer credit entry will be automatically inserted by the SAP standard process and the amount will be the total of invoices provided in the T_FTCLEAR table. (See the above step populating T_FTCLEAR table). The total of invoices should match the bank debit amount + bank charges.
Populated table will look like below;
Function module call will look like below;
Call the function module POSTING_INTERFACE_END
Once POSTING_INTERFACE_CLEARING is successful, call this function module to complete the processing
Posted Document
After a successful posting, the accounting document will look like this.
You can add your own entries based on your requirement as well. (I.e. Customer chargeback)
