1. Open the "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 are the same, but there is a withholding tax difference that impedes the posting.

When open items are cleared without a transfer posting, no withholding tax is posted.

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