For a general description of closing outstanding items by reposting see Close | Reposting.

Whenever posting receivables and payables by departments and/or cost centers (see settings in Administration Panel | Settings | Program Parameters | Financials | General), we would usually like to close posted items by departments and cost centers. To put it differently, if there is department and cost center are specified in outstanding item, you should also specify them in payment of outstanding item.

• reposted outstanding item when it is being closed in this way
• reposted outstanding item after receiving payment or issuing payment of document

This way you enable that the line is closed not only regarding the account, subject and linked document, but also for department and cost center. The account, subject and linked document and additionally also about the department and cost center are retained in the posted payment.
