You can only clear an open item, if you can match it to an offsetting item of the same amount. In other words, the balance of the items assigned to each other must equal zero. Open items represent transactions that are incomplete. For example, an unpaid invoice item is kept as an open item on the vendor account until it is paid. In clearing these items, the system assigns them a clearing document number and the date on which they were cleared. Invoices on a customer account, for example, would then be marked as paid, while items on a bank clearing account would be marked as cleared. 1, record 7, English, - clear

Il n'est possible de solder un compte non soldé que si vous pouvez faire correspondre un poste de contre-partie dans le même compte. Autrement dit, le solde des postes attribués à chaque compte doit être nul. Les postes non soldés représentent des transactions incomplètes. Par exemple, un poste de facture non réglé garde le statut de poste non soldé dans le compte fournisseur jusqu'à son règlement. En rapprochant ces postes, le système leur attribue un numéro de rapprochement de pièce et une date de rapprochement. Les factures dans un compte client, par exemple, porteront la marque Payé, alors que les postes dans un compte bancaire de virement interne porteront la marque Rapproché. 1, record 7, French, - rapprocher
