Displaying the vendor transaction figures in transaction FK10N

You get a different view to the data in the SAP transaction FK10N. The following information is given
about vendor 111, company code 1000 and fiscal year 2004:
Figure 3: Vendor Balance Display in Transaction FK10N

You see here that the balance and the cumulated balance are listed additionally. These values are, except
from the balance carried forward, not stored in table LFC1 but they are calculated at run time. The origin of
the values can be retraced by double-clicking to the corresponding fields. For example, you get to the
following screen by double-clicking the field Balance in period one:
Figure 4: Vendor Line Item Display

A document with the document type RE (= vendor invoice) was posted to the credit in period 1. By doubleclicking this line you get the following document display:

Figure 5: Display document

This screen shows that the invoice was posted with posting key 31 (= Invoice). In table TBSL, the setting is
stored that you have a sales-related credit posting if you use posting key 31.
The most important fields of table TBSL which are relevant for the example will be shortly explained:
BSCHL: Posting key
SHKZG: Debit/Credit indicator
KOART: Account. The posting key can only be used with account type K (= Vendor account) in the
accounts payable.
XUMSW: If the field is filled with an X, then it is a sales-related transaction.
Lets go back to the vendor balance display of transaction FK10N:
Figure 6: Vendor Balance Display in Transaction FK10N

Click the field Balance which is located in the total line to display all postings of the fiscal year:
Figure 7: Vendor Line Item Display

All postings in the year 2004 are listed here. You see that the amount of 213.275,06 Euro is a payment to a
vendor (document type KZ). The Balance has an amount of 158.385,48 Euro. Since we had a balance
carried forward of 158.358,48 Euro in transaction FK10N (respectively table LFC1), we could conclude that
all open items were cleared with this payment. To find out which documents were cleared by the payment,
we can use the menu Environment -> Clearing transactions.
Figure 8: Clearing Transactions

You see in this figure that all invoices were cleared by document 1500000014 (column 2). The document
numbers which were cleared are listed in column 4. Indeed, you only see postings of the year 2004; the
outgoing payment has possibly also cleared older open items. Also in this screen, it is possible to change
to the document display view. For instance, you can find out which posting key was used for the outgoing
payment by double-clicking the document number 1500000014.
