Stop ledger entry from being created when settling customer payment and invoices

Posted on by Daniyal Kashif

We have a custom batch job that performs a customer settlement on a FIFO basis. The batch job uses the out-of-the-box Customer settlement code (CustTrans::SettleTransaction)
The batch job picks the payment and then tries to settle it against invoices. This results in settling across posting profiles or the financial dimensions might be different. As a result, the system adds a ledger entry with Transaction type, Settlement.
An example

The invoice and payment both have different posting profiles.
Is there any way the ledger entry can be skipped when settling across posting profiles or financial dimensions?

Hi Daniyal,

When the financial dimensions are different, they need to be cleared with the additional entries. For this reason, it is not possible to skip it. You can set up the application ensuring the financial dimensions are the same on the invoice and the payment.

I'm not aware if multiple posting profiles is also creating additional entries. Currently, I don't have an option to validate that.
