How to reset cleared items in closed posting periods?

[gnzl007]

First off, a clearing document always = 0, why on earth does a module need to be open to reset it? 

Secondly, how do I reset a cleared document that is in a closed period in AR? 

E.G The payment received in March, cleared against an open item in January. The period is now April. I don't want any postings to be made, all I want to do, is allocate the payment against a different invoice. Not hard (you would think). 

Thanks in advance...

It get's better! Resetting the cleared document in the open period, (being a payment received from the customer), credits the bank. So we have to re-create the payment received, and have transactions in the bank that are completely unrelated to the open period. How this ERP system is so popular i'll never understand.

FBRA needs to be configured to not automatically post and allow reset only (from what I've gathered from ChatGPT below).
