SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the General Ledger work center.
2. Go to the Closing Cockpit view.
3. Go to the Source Documents subview.
4. Find Invoice DEF (DEF represents the Invoice).

Error is shown in the invoice.

The invoice is not posted since it is tied to a partially cleared down payment.

• To solve this issue a new manual clearing containing only Down Payment GHI needs to be created and then save the clearing.
• Then post the source document, since it needs to be posted previously to the clearing with the down payment.
• This can be done with the following steps:

First manually clear the Down Payment GHI (GHI represents the Down Payment):

1. Go to the work center Receivables.
2. Go to the view Customers.
3. Go to the subview Customer Accounts.
4. Find the customer from invoice DEF.
5. Click View.
6. Go to tab Trade Receivables.
7. Select the Down Payment GHI.
8. Click Clear Manually.
9. Click Save.

As a result, Clearing ID XYZ is created (XYZ means the Clearing ID).

Now the Invoice DEF can be posted:

1. Go to work center General Ledger.
2. Go to view Closing Cockpit.
3. Go to subview Source Documents.
4. Find Invoice DEF.
5. Click Actions.
6. Click Post Business Transaction.

• After go back to the Customer Account Monitor to reset Clearing ID XYZ and clear the Down Payment with the invoice DEF.
• Now the clearing will be saved without errors.
