Hi,
This is  one of the option given by SAP to manage your  open items in case of  partial payments. In this  process when you go for residual payment, your original open item against which partial payment is made gets cleared &  system automatically creates a new  open item with the balance amount.
e.g  you have an open item of Rs 10,000/- since  01.03.2014 & today i.e on 01.04.2014 you are making an payment of Rs 6,000/- against the said  item & you  opt for residual payment. In this case the original open item   i.e Rs 10,000/- gets cleared  & a new open item of  i.e Rs 4,000/-  get created . Note that this new open item created by the system  will have  the new document date (01.04.2014) and new baseline date, i.e here aging of your receivable/payable does not reflects the true picture.
But this  is not the case when you opt for partial clearing method. In partial clearing method , the original open item is not cleared, instead  both the items are shown as open items.
If you take the case of above example, after making the partial payment of Rs 6,000/- against Rs 10,000/- you will have two open items. One the original one of Rs 10,000/- since 01.03.2014 and another for Rs 6,000/- on 01.04.2014.In this case the aging of your receivable/payable shows the true picture.
Yes its  a business decision ,which method to  adopt.
Thanks & regards
