103. How can you clear two general ledgers?

You can clear two general ledgers through transaction code F-04 (posting with
clearing), provided both general accounts are open item managed accounts.

104. Is it possible to update the reference field in the header of a payment

document when the check numbers are generated by the system? If so,
what is the procedure to do it?

Using T-code FCHU, fill out the company code, house bank, and account ID, and
provide the check number and payment document number for which you want to
update the check number. In the Target field selection for the check number section,
select the field for which you want to update the check number and execute.

105. What is an alternative payee?

The payment program can make payment to a vendor other than the one to which
the invoice was posted. The payment is made to an alternative payee, which must
be specified in the master record.
You can specify an alternative payee in the general data area or in the company
code data area of a vendor master. The alternative payee specified in the general
data area is used by every company code. If you specify an alternative payee in
both areas, the specification in the company code area has priority.
To always make vender payments to an alternative payee, proceed as
follows:
1. Create a vendor master record for the alternative payee. Block this account from
posting.
2. Specify the account number of the alternative payee in the Alternative payee
field within the payment transactions section of the vendor master record.
3. When making payments for this vendor, the payment program will always
access the name and address of the alternative payee.
In some instances, it may be better to specify a payee in the document. To do this,
you have to activate this function by selecting the payee in the document indicator in
the general data area of the Payment Transaction tab. When you enter documents for
this account, the system displays a field in which you can enter an alternative payee.
