Cause
The apps used for clearing payments ("Clear Incoming payments") have "Save without posting" functionality and it can be used to save the items to be cleared without posting them and process the clearing at any time later. With this option, the payment which is in process by another user will be in locked status.
Resolution
Payments in the worklist tab also contains payments that are assigned to other users. If payment is assigned to another user, open the "All Payments" tab and remove the user as the processor by clicking 'x'. The payment then becomes available to everyone for clearing.
