  Key Concepts:
  A cleared subitem is a subitem in the Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) component of SAP that has been marked as cleared. This means that the amount of the subitem has been paid in full and is no longer outstanding. 
  
  How to use it:
  In order to mark a subitem as cleared, you must first open the relevant contract account in the FI-CA component. Then, select the subitem you wish to mark as cleared and click on the “Mark as Cleared” button. This will update the status of the subitem to “Cleared”. 
  
  Tips & Tricks:
  It is important to remember that marking a subitem as cleared does not automatically update the status of the contract account. You must manually update the status of the contract account in order for it to reflect that all outstanding amounts have been paid.
