Closing Settlement Request Lists 

Use

You use the Close settlement request list functions to close a settlement request list and all the documents contained in it. Once a settlement request list has been closed, you can no longer use it to create follow-on documents.

You can also close individual settlement requests contained in the settlement request list. However, this is only possible if the settlement request list has already been forwarded to Accounting.

For further information, see Reversing Documents
