1. Open "Clear Outgoing Payments" or "Clear Incoming Payments" app.
2. Select an invoice and its reversal document to clear together.
3. The amount of the invoice and its reversal document is the same, but there is a withholding tax difference which impedes the posting.

When you clear open items without a transfer posting, no withholding tax is posted.

Turn on the "Transfer Posting" option in "Clear Outgoing Payments" and "Clear Incoming Payments" app to clear the invoice and its reversal document together without considering the withholding tax.
