This message typically arises in the context of the Automatic Clearing program in SAP, which is used to clear open items in accounts payable and accounts receivable.

  Solution:
  
  Review Autoclearing Settings: Check the configuration settings for the Automatic Clearing program in SAP. Ensure that the autoclearing criteria and thresholds are set according to your business requirements.
  Manual Clearing: If you do not want the item to be cleared automatically, you can manually clear it or adjust the settings to exclude certain items from autoclearing.
