Symptoms

Some payments have Accounted status = Unprocessed. The events will be reported on the Period Close Exceptions Report.

When set-up for Payables Options - Accounting Options: Payment Accounting
is When Payment Clears - Yes (only).

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1- Create and Account for an Invoice
2- Pay in Full
3- Run Create Accounting
4- Reconcile the Payment
5- Run Create Accounting

In this case, the Payment Created remains in status U/U (unprocessed) in xla_events and should be N/P (no need for accounting) because the event is already accounted at Clearing time.

In the following scenario, the statuses will be correctly posted and all the payment events
will be successfully processed:

1- Create and Account for an Invoice
2- Pay in Full
3- Reconcile the Payment
4- Run Create Accounting

As a workaround  run Create Accounting only after reconciling the payments.
