Cause

Manual Journal Entry Voucher (MJEV) ABC has the following characteristics.

Journal Entry Type: 00085 - Manual Entry for Accounts Receivable
Business Transaction Type:628 - Manual Write-Up/Write-Down Accounts Rec
Cr: 1,000.00 EUR

This entry does affect the Accounts Receivable Balance and will show in related AR Reports as 'Accounts Receivable - Line Items'.
This, however, does not present a reconcilable item. 
The purpose of such a MJEV is the adjustment of AR/AP balances for a particular key date. 
For AR/AP only actual documents can be cleared (invoices, credit memos, payments, other receivable/payables).

Resolution

In order to clear invoice XYZ over 1,000.00 EUR in the absence of suitable documents - you would have to create a document of type 'Other Payable' in the Customer Account Monitor.

  1. Press New Charge/Credit.
  2. In field Charge/Credit select '2 - Customer Credit'.
  3. Select a Posting Date relating to an open period.
  4. Under G/L Account select the G/L Account which will be debited.
  5. After posting Other Payables DEF is created and shows as reconcilable document in the Customer Account Monitor.
