Clear Incoming Payments
With the transactional app Clear Incoming Payments,
you can clear a receivable payment manually, such as an open incoming payment for a customer invoice. The system usually clears these payments automatically. However, sometimes customer information is missing and the system cannot find appropriate open items that match the payment. In this case, you have to clarify this payment, match it to the correct open invoices and credit memos as aligned with your customer, and clear the payment manually.

Get a list of matching open items
The system proposes matching open items based on one of the following:
Customer account data
The system lists all open items for that customer account in the Open Items
table. From this table, you can manually select the items that you want to clear. No configuration is required for this search variant.
Payment reference information, such as invoice number or reason for payment
The system searches for matching open items and proposes one or more matching open items directly in the Items To be Cleared
table. In some exceptional cases, you may decide not to accept the clearing proposal but instead to select a different open item.
Special configuration is required for this search variant. For more information, see App Implementation: Clear Incoming Payments
