Thanks Bill for the reply. We dont have any special Customer categorization for the corresponding Clearing Variants to be triggered. As you said that this is a pretty expensive change. I would like to ask once again is that okay to poulate one(1) of 4-5 different clearing variants at the document level so that same clearingvariant gets triggered For Automatic Clearing.
Reason
Alternative Clearing Variant gets assigned in Event 04 as stated above during payment lot processing.
Clearing Variant IP has the following steps:-
Step 1:-
Order Number
Payment method
Step 2:-
Business Partner
Step 3:-
Main and Sub Transactions
Similarly for Gift card(Another Payment process) we get a payment lot and based on document type corresponding clearing category gets triggered in event 04 and alternative clearing varaint is assigned.
Clearing Variant IG has the following steps:-
Step 1:-
Contract Account
Main Transaction
Item is due
Step 2:-
Document number
Similarly for other Payment process(Prepayment/Invoice/Direct transfer) for all these 3 payment methods we do recieve a single payment lot. With the same process stated above, An alternative Variant is assigned.
IU and it has some X number of steps.
So if I have one Variant for Automatic clearing then I need to have some(may be many of them) steps from Cleairng Variant IP, IG, IU and so on....
So in this scenario is it advisible to have one Big Variant for Automatic Clearing or is it wise to populate the Clearing Variant at the document level. WIll it be overload on the system to determine the clearing varaints at the document level and executing the corresponding Cleairng variants.
Hope you will help me to come out of this loop.
