Hi Abeer,
If the first payment was not accounted, then voided, the clearing that cannot account is most likely for the same check. Typically we would approach this in support by looking at the accounting that is created by the Payables Accounting Process and reports. It should show an error for the payment, but that lets us know if the problem with accounting the original payment and payment void events are due to an invalid account or an unbalanced accounting issue.
There is no way to get the accounting on the clearing event to work because it needs the actual numbers generated by the payment accounting to calculate the correct accounting.
A workaround of setting the payment and payment void to posted status sometimes works because those events net to $0. Without an actual amount to post to GL, we can do that.
In support, I would ask you to generate what we call an "aplist" or Invoice Data Collector script for one of the invoices paid by the payment and payment clearing that are not successful. That helps determine the best fix for the issue. We really need to find out if there is an error for that first payment event. Also, I'm assuming that the payment clearing that you created was for the first payment, and that you have uncleared it as well.
The accounting should be done in the following order:
Payment Event
Payment Clearing
Payment Unclearing
Payment Void
Check the dates on each event (in ap_ae_headers_all) to determine if you do indeed have four unposted events, and that they are in the correct payment order.
