Symptom
Error message is thrown while creating a New Manual Clearing for a Supplier Account:
'Items with the same original document must be cleared separately. Two or more items in clearing resulting from transfer posting or splitting belong to the same source document. Remove these items.'
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Payables work center.
- Go to the Supplier Accounts view.
- Find respective Account ID and click view.
- Select together one Invoice and two Payments: for the Payments, make sure they have the same External Reference ID and Document ID.
- Click New Manual Clearing.
- Error is thrown:
'Items with the same original document must be cleared separately. Two or more items in clearing resulting from transfer posting or splitting belong to the same source document. Remove these items.'
Cause
The error message raised by the system when you clear split open items is a current system behavior. This occurs due to a technical limitation in the tax register that uses the due clearing ID as reference.
Therefore, the items originate from the same document (splitting) have to be cleared separately.
Resolution
Clear the items that originate from the same document (same External Reference ID and same Document ID) separately.
