Usage of Payer Party in sales order and customer invoices

[former_member200567]

Dear experts,

What is the usage of Payer party in sales orders and customer invoices?

Because although another party is assigned as Payer party in sales order and customer invoice, the invoice is sent to the Bill-To party and the receivable goes to the Account.

Dear Fred,

Payer Party

A person or company that pays the invoice.
The payer can, but does not have to be, the bill-to party in the invoice.

In simple terms the payer is one who pays for goods and services.

Hi Sandeep,

Thanks for your answer.

I got the idea. But I still do not know how to apply this in ByD.

I have some invoices assigned with the payer party "A1" but all the receivables of those invoices are still sent to the bill-to party "A2".

How exactly will the payer "A1" be able to pay for those invoices?

Best Regards,

Fred

Hello Sandeep,

I see that the current system behavior of SAP ByD is that, even when having A2 as the payer of an invoice posted for account A1, the system shows the receivables under A1. On a business scenario where A2 sends payment with reference to invoices, the expectation is that the system offers the open items on where A2 was assigned as payer, however, SAP ByD doesnt show open items. All the open items are showed on A1 only.

What is the purpose of the payer role in SAP ByD?, is it just a reference?

Has this been assessed before by SAP ByD product management team and the behavior planned to be enhanced in the future?

Thanks in advance!
