  Document Type: The document types of the selected items may not be compatible with the clearing process. Certain document types may not be eligible for clearing against each other.
  
  
  Currency Differences: If the items are in different currencies and there is no exchange rate defined for the clearing date, they may not be eligible for clearing.
  
  
  Open Item Management: The items may not be managed as open items in the system, which is a requirement for clearing.

  Open Item Management: Confirm that the items are set up for open item management. This can be checked in the account settings in the SAP configuration.
  
  
  Account Assignment Review: Ensure that the account assignments for the items match and that there are no discrepancies that would prevent clearing.
