Answer:
I am sorry I am not very knowledgable in that process: is this to clear the open items of the GR/IR account? Our company is using F.13 (G/L Automatic Clearing) to clear the open items of the GR/IR account from FI point of view, and I was wondering if this is the correct way to do it, or there is some MM funiction. What MR11 does?

Answer:
Hi,
MR11 is used to close out discrepancies in POs, goods receipts, and invoice receipts. MR11 will create postings against POs to close them out. MR11 doesn't clear any items on the FI side. That's where you use F.13 to clear out the FI postings. So, it's best to use both MR11 and F.13.

Answer:
Hi Tranny,
From what I have been aware Transaction MR11 (Maintain GR/IR Clearing Account) has the effect of entering the GRN thus clearing down the GR/IR account AND charging to the P&L account and therefore, I am not quite sure that you will have to execute another F.13 transaction to clear the imbalance in GR/IR account.
Cheers,
HT
Answer:
Ha,
MR11 does not clear the FI open items. It creates postings so that the GR/IR amounts for a particular PO balance. These postings sit as open items until F.13 clears them. I can email you some examples if you are interested.
What happens if there are no GR/IR differences for a particular PO? MR11 will never see it and the open items will need to be cleared by F.13.

Answer:
Thank you for clearing that up.
F.13 is scheduled as a background process once per month but is not clearing almost anything. Only 1-2 items per month , and the last run nothing. Isn't it supposed to clear the debit and credit item in the GR/IR account for every PO that has reveived both GR and IR? Do you think some configuration is missing?
Thanks,
Steve

Answer:
Hi,
Give me a couple of days to check with one of my AP buddies. Their F.13 hasn't picked up anything all year long also. I'll get back with you on this.
