Environment

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to General Ledger work center.
  2. Go to Source Documents view.
  3. Find supplier invoice BBB.
  4. You can see the error 'Automatic clearing of source document with posting date DD.MM.YYYY failed. Manual Payment AAA to be cleared has postings assigned with posting date DD+X.MM+X.YYYY. Create a new manual clearing containing only AAA and save the clearing. Then post the source document.'.

Cause

The supplier invoice is tied to a partially cleared down payment.

At least one of the follow-on documents(such as a clearing) is posted after the posting date of the supplier invoice.

Resolution

To solve this issue you will need to create a new manual clearing containing only Down Payment CCC(CCC represents the ID of the down payment) 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 CCC.

  1. Go to Payables work center.
  2. Go to Supplier Accounts view.
  3. Find supplier of supplier invoice BBB.
  4. Click on View.
  5. Select the Down Payment CCC and click on Clear Manually.
  6. Click on Save.

As a result, Clearing DDD(DDD represents the ID of the clearing) is created.

Now you need to post the supplier invoice BBB.

  1. Go to General Ledger work center.
  2. Go to Source Documents view.
  3. Find supplier invoice BBB.
  4. Click on Actions and select Post Business Transaction.

After posting the supplier invoice BBB, go back to the Supplier Account Monitor to reset Clearing DDD and clear the Down Payment CCC with the invoice BBB.

Now the clearing will be saved without errors.
