Hi,

In a nutshell: clearing applies to two or more documents which you can clear on the account defined as open item managed (G/L, Business partner, etc.) and post with clearing would mean creation of financial document, which in the same time will clear one or more open items.

Hi

The below link specifies very clearly what is meant by post with clearing along with an example

https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_ERP/45ce4038494f40a8957d336289db955b/b0e9d353ca9f4408e10000000a174cb4....

The post with clearing is explained in very simple terms in the link shared. So a customer has paid EUR 5000 for multiple invoices. Typically you would have the below accounting entry when you post an incoming payment entry

Bank Incoming A/c Dr

To Customer A/c Cr

However, you have the option to use F-44 to enter the bank line item with EUR 5000 and than select equivalent open items in a single transaction and this is exactly what is known as post with clearing

The other option is to post the incoming payment entry as shown above. Now use the account clearing using F-32 for customer or F-44 for vendors. Here you do not enter the new line item but just select the open items that can be offset against one another and clear the open items on the account. The below link should also help you understand the same

Thanks & regards
