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 5, 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 5, French, - rapprocher

Since settlement occurs outside LVTS [Large Value Transfer System], if LVTS fails during the settlement period, settlement can continue in the normal manner... except that notification of settlement may be made manually(S. W. I. F. T., phone, fax) by the Bank of Canada. In the normal course the settlement figures will be available to the Bank of Canada immediately after the completion of pre-settlement. If the LVTS were to become unavailable immediately upon pre-settlement terminating the figures for settlement would have to be provided by the participants themselves. The LVTS being a sum zero multilateral netting system would facilitate the verification of these figures. 1, record 7, English, - sum%20zero%20multilateral%20netting%20system

Comme le règlement se fait en dehors du STPGV [système de transfert de paiements de grande valeur] si celui-ci tombe en panne pendant la période de règlement, les opérations peuvent se poursuivre de la manière habituelle, sauf que la Banque du Canada doit notifier la fin du règlement par des moyens manuels (S.W.I.F.T., téléphone ou télécopieur). En temps normal, la Banque du Canada dispose immédiatement des chiffres de règlement dès la fin du prérèglement. Si le STPGV devient inaccessible à l'instant même où le prérèglement se termine, ce sont les participants eux-mêmes qui doivent fournir les chiffres de règlement. Le fait que le STPGV est un système de compensation multilatérale à somme nulle facilite la vérification des chiffres. 1, record 7, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20compensation%20multilat%C3%A9rale%20%C3%A0%20somme%20nulle
