In case that the contra-entry of any linked document does not have data or reference attached to it, you have to use the function of manual closing. This method of closing is used exclusively for closing of outstanding items of the same account!

Such posting may occur in bank reconciliation from bank accounts when for example linked document numbers to which the inflow/outflow is related are not entered promptly, or if the inflow/outflow is entered in the total amount only.

Let us suppose that bank reconciliation or posting of cash receipts was performed, so as not to enter the (correct) ID of the linked document to which the inflow is related.

In this case an incomplete post to the receivables or payables subject account may be entered only if you in the chart of accounts register uncheck the Summary Data option - that is data that has to be included.

By using the function for closing of items you may add missing data to the journal entry to be reconciled or for posting of cash receipts! 

The panel for closing of outstanding items consists of:

• general data
• items marked to be closed
• outstanding items list
• data and functions used in closing of items
