Due date payment restriction during manual payment posting

[Former Member]

Hi Team.

We have a requirement to pay bills only after the due date is over,and not before that.

For Ex :- If i have payment terms of 30 days and i am booking invoice on 1st of mar then due date would be 31st of mar.

our requirement is to pay this bill only on or after this 31st march.user should not allowed to post any payment entry before 31st march.

Can some one please give the settings required for achieving this requirement during manual payment entry..

appreciate your help..

Thanks

Hello,

Did you validate this requirement? You may miss the cash discount for early payment with this setup.

If you still want to proceed, I doubt if SAP has any standard functionality for this. You can create validation in OB28 to compare due date and payment date. If due date is greater than payment date, through error message.

Hi Vinod,

Thanks for your reply..F110 Will consider it automatically,but we need this functionality during manual payment and that to for one payment term.We have created one installment payment terms for this.

We will assign that payment term to specific vendor so it will restrict the payment to that vendors only,& we can able to manually pay other vendors without any issue being they will assign with other payment terms.

This case also should restrict clearing of invoice when this vendor is also a customer to our company.

In this case could you please help in building the logic for validation.

Thanks

Hi Vinai,

Sorry for giving confusion..It is as simple as below.

1). Manual payment should happen only after  the invoice is due....and that too for only one vendor.rest of all vendors should be able to pay as usual before due dates. so we are creating one new payment term for particular vendor and trying to restrict the payment by creating validation.

2). And this restriction should also apply when vendor is configured as customer.

For Ex :- If vendor invoice value is 10,000 where i need to pay, and he is also a customer and has sale value 1000 which i need to receive.

net balance is 9000.

during this vendor & customer clearance also the due date calculation should work.

Please help in building validation logic or any BADI , EXIT' s at lease for first one..

Thanks

Hi,

For first point, You can define the payment block in the payment terms in OBB8. This ensures that, items with this payment term are not processed in F110 due to payment block.

For second point..hmmm thinking!!:-) Will update If I find something.

Hi Vinod,

I need this functionality for manual payment only..

F110 will automatically consider due date and will exclude the items not relevant for payment..

Thanks

Hi Vinai,

Payment block will work for f110, not for manual payment.

You can stop user from manual payment but it is part of discipline.

Users can take of vendor ageing reports and accordingly make the payment.

Dear Simi,

As Vinod advised we can block auto posting as well as manual using OBB8,

But in my case it wont work. for Ex- 1 vendor has 100000 invoices,we need to remove manually blocking indicator and post payment.but it's a hectic work for the end user.

But if we are able to put validation then they will easily come to know the due date is not reached so it is not clearing.

Hence i requested team advise.

Thanks

Hi Vinai,

You should be using APP- F110 in case you want the restriction on due date for payment.

Manual Payments is also a means to by pass the restrictions, in case you want to pay the vendor for business emergency even though the payment is not due.
