Hi Sujata,
The reason for the error is the following:
According to change documents in master data of your G/L account  in your
company code , open item management was switched on for this account. If
you had documents entered before this changes, i.e. before open item management
was activated on your G/L account. As a consequence, some information
required for document splitting at clearing, which is required only
on open items, wasn´t created when this document  was posted.
Please see section 5 of note 891144:
Items posted while open item management was still inactive in G/L
account master data cannot be cleared after open item management has
been activated subequently if New G/L document splitting is active.
Therefore, if document splitting is active, open item management should
never be activated subsequently on accounts to which documents had
already been posted with inactive open item management.
As this rule stated in section 5 of note 891144 was
violated in your system you cannot clear items posted before
the date when open item management was activated on your G/L account
Please exclude such documents from being selected by entering additional selections in your clearing
transaction.
