3357887 - The clearing date is different from the posting date of the clearing journal entry

Symptom

Clearing date is after the posting date of the clearing journal entry.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Cause

The clearing date specifies as from when the item is to be regarded as cleared. When clearing, the last posting date of all the journal entries involved in clearing is set as the clearing date.
This means if the posting date of the original journal entries is after the posting date of the clearing journal entry, the clearing date will be different from the posting date of the clearing journal entry.

Resolution

This is the standard system behavior. The clearing date will be last posting date that occurs in the journal entries to be cleared.
