3418828 - Closing Relevant Task - Reposted or split item 'ABC' is cleared (Clearing 'DEF') while trying to reverse the Clearing

Symptom

  • In the "Closing-Relevant Tasks" view, the document cannot be posted and gives the task message "Reposted or split item 'ABC' is cleared (Clearing 'DEF')."
  • The system detects an issue that prevents automatic processing in the accounting process component.
  • In this example, expense report 'GHI' is a source document which is in In-process status and while trying to cancel this expense report, system is giving this clearing relevant task.

'ABC' refers to the Original Clearing.

'DEF' refers to Split Clearing.

'GHI' refers to Expense report.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the General Ledger work center.
  2. Go to the Closing relevant tasks sub view.
  3. The task "Reposted or split item 'ABC' is cleared (Clearing 'DEF')" will be visible. 
  4. Select that and under Business Transaction, there will be this Expense Report 'GHI' with In-Process status.

Cause

This task occurs because by referencing the expense report 'GHI', the split clearing item got created where it got divided into original clearing 'ABC' and split clearing 'DEF'. In each case, the system informs that the additional Clearing ID that exists for a split item must be reset. So reset is required for the split clearings and then reverse the original clearings.

 

Resolution

  1. Try to find the Clearing 'DEF' on the same customer account monitor and reset it.
  2. After resetting Clearing 'DEF,' return to Clearing 'ABC' to reverse it without further issues.
  3. Once the changes are completed, reprocess the cancellation of the Expense Report.
  4. The cancellation will now post to accounting, generating a Journal Entry.
