Symptom
You want to use an API to generate payment journal entries, like the "Post Outgoing Payments" or "Post Incoming Payments" apps do.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
There is no direct API that posts payment and clears open items in a single payload.
Resolution
- Use the "Journal Entry – Post (Asynchronous)" API to post the journal entry with a balance transfer from the bank account to the supplier or customer account.
- After successful posting, use the "Journal Entry – Clearing (Asynchronous)" API to clear the newly posted document against existing open items.
