Explaining Differences Posting and Clearing

To clear open items, the system requires either:

• that the sum of the line items you enter equals the sum of the activated open items (the debits equal the credits)

or

• that the difference between the debits and credits is within the tolerance limit set in your system configuration.

From the screen for processing open items, you can display an explanation of the difference between the sum of the line items you entered and the sum of the open items you activated.

To do this, choose Environment ® Explain difference.

The Explain Difference dialog box appears.

It informs you about the difference between the payment amount (the clearing item) and the amount of the processed open items (amount to be cleared). Choose Cancel to go back to the list of open items.
