Month End Provision (Open Item Management - Residual Clearing)

Open Item Management
At the month end we make the provision. At the time of payment we adjust the provision. If excess payment is made, difference between actual payment and provision is considered as expenditure for that month. This is used for Vendors, Customers and Balance sheet items where clearing is required. We have to select the open item management check box while creating the G/L accounts
We can view the account in 3 ways:-
a. Open items (payable)
b. Cleared items (paid)
c. All items (payable + paid)

Three scenarios for Open Item Management
1) Full Clearing
2) Partial Clearing
