Environment

Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the General Ledger work center.
- Go to the Closing Cockpit view.
- Go to the Source Documents subview.
- Find Invoice DEF.
Error is shown in the invoice.
Cause
The invoice is not posted since it is tied to a partially cleared down payment.
Resolution
To solve this issue you will need to create a new manual clearing containing only Down Payment GHI and save the clearing.
Then post the source document, since it needs to be posted previously to the clearing with the down payment.
You need to first manually clear the Down Payment GHI.
- Go to work center Receivables.
- Go to view Customers.
- Go to subview Customer Accounts.
- Find customer from invoice DEF.
- Click View.
- Go to tab Trade Receivables.
- Select the Down Payment GHI.
- Click Clear Manually.
- Click Save.
As a result, Clearing ID XYZ is created (XYZ means the Clearing ID).
Now you need to post the Invoice DEF.
- Go to work center General Ledger.
- Go to view Closing Cockpit.
- Go to subview Source Documents.
- Find Invoice DEF.
- Click Actions.
- 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.
