Account has open credit items
Help Document

Diagnosis

This account has one or more open credit items. If you continue with processing, debit item interest calculation might result in an incorrect posting, as an interest document where the interest amount is too high can be posted. The reason for this is that the credit items have not yet been offset against the debit items.

System Response

Procedure

To avoid an incorrect posting, first carry out account maintenance in which you offset the corresponding items and then post interest anew.
