• Residual Item Becomes a New Receivable: When you post an incoming payment with a residual item, the remaining balance that is not covered by the payment is treated as a new receivable. This means a new open item is created in the customer’s account representing the unpaid amount.
• Original Document and Payment are Cleared: The original invoice and the payment are cleared in the accounting system. This involves matching the payment against the original invoice, thereby updating the status of the original invoice to cleared and creating a new open item for the residual amount.

When extending a G/L account to a new company code in SAP, it is essential to maintain certain mandatory fields even if all customizable fields are set to optional in the field status. These fields ensure that the account is properly configured for financial transactions.

• Account Currency:This field specifies the currency in which the account is maintained. It is crucial for financial reporting and transaction processing.
• Field Status Group:This field controls the input fields during document entry. It determines which fields are required, optional, or suppressed.

Without maintaining these fields, the G/L account setup will be incomplete, and you will encounter errors during transactions.

To post a reversal for a document posted in a closed posting period, you need to configure the reversal reason. This configuration allows you to enter the reversal with a different date than the original document. The reversal reason must be set up with specific parameters that permit posting in a different period, thus enabling the reversal even if the original period is closed.

• Access Transaction Code (FB08):Open the transaction for document reversal.
• Enter Document Details:Provide the document number, company code, fiscal year, and specify the reversal reason.
• Select Posting Date:Ensure that the posting date for the reversal is different from the original posting date and falls within an open period.
• Execute Reversal:Confirm the details and execute the reversal process.

By configuring the reversal reason with appropriate settings, SAP allows you to manage document reversals flexibly, even when dealing with closed periods.
