  The SAP error message FM_LGD_ZAHLUNGSSICHT007, which translates to "Cleared items exist for the posting reference," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with payment processing or clearing of items in the SAP system. This error indicates that there are already cleared items associated with the posting reference you are trying to use, which prevents further processing.
  Cause:
  
  Cleared Items: The primary cause of this error is that there are already cleared items linked to the posting reference you are attempting to use. This means that the system has already processed transactions that have been settled or cleared.
  Duplicate Posting Reference: You may be trying to post a new transaction using a reference that has already been used for a cleared transaction.
  Incorrect Transaction Type: The transaction type you are trying to execute may not be compatible with the existing cleared items.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Cleared Items: Review the cleared items associated with the posting reference. You can do this by using transaction codes like FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) or FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display) to see if there are any cleared items.
  Use a Different Posting Reference: If you need to post a new transaction, consider using a different posting reference that has not been previously cleared.
  Reversal of Transactions: If the cleared items were posted in error, you may need to reverse those transactions. This should be done with caution and typically requires appropriate authorization.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the implications of reversing transactions or changing posting references, consult with your finance or accounting team for guidance.
  System Configuration: In some cases, the error may be related to system configuration. If you suspect this is the case, you may need to involve your SAP Basis or technical team to investigate further.
