Transaction : MR11 - GR IR Clearing Account Maintenance

You use GR/IR account maintenance if you have open items on the GR/IR account that you do not expect to be able to clear against a GR/IR in the future. E.g. you have a GR-entry on the account and you know that an invoice will never be booked for the purchase order.

It is a good transaction to clear the Gr/IR balance. It puts a debit/credit to the original account assignment which makes the adjustments a lot easier.

It can be problematic when the PO relates to stores stock as it can make the closing store value go to zero which then in turn gives you problems with costs to work Orders. It also can be a problem if the account assignment has been subsequently closed.

Best advice is to run MR11 as often as possible, at least monthly.
