Manually closing outstanding items links receivable/payable with payment and assigns them the same linked document. Otherwise lines of journal entry remain unchanged. When linking customer credits (negative debit postings) and customer invoices (positive debit postings), a poblem occurs regarding the currency of payment of credit that is used for partial payments of invoices. In this case it is considered when closing outstanding items manually that the invoice issued was paid on the due date of credit. This is not necessarily the case, though. By reposting you can choose due date for closing the line.
