Review journal posting and subledger selection on independent finance requests. A journal can balance while using the wrong account, and a line-item report can open successfully while showing the wrong population. Use the business purpose to choose the account, then use the report filters to prove the intended result.
Open, cleared and blocked are separate ideas. A payment block controls settlement readiness; it doesn't say the invoice has already been paid. Customer receipts clear receivables rather than create revenue again. These tasks mix direct postings, report layouts and numeric exposure checks. The final state matters: preserve the required account, cost center, date and selection fields, even when another combination would produce the same overall total.
