Clearing accounts usually used if the double entry cannot be in one module and it is used as intermediate and its balance has to be Zero always. For example, i did a purchase order through PO module and once i processed the receiving entry and recorded the invoice number through the PO module and posted it, the result was and invoice entry created in AP module affecting the payables clearing account. It should affect the inventory account as recorded in the PO, but the problem with Sage ERP that it does not transfer the same accounts entered in the first module to the other module, so the clearing account is intermediated.
