Printing Checks

Former Member

If there are two kinds of check forms: 1) with two signatures 3) blank with no signature, based on the amounts, with one signature below 5000, blank check requires manual signature. when printing checks how do we tell the system which one to pick.

Can someone please provide some input on this

Thankyou

Hi

You can create two payment methods and assign the separate forms to them

That still does not solve the issue. Because when doing the payment run we wont know if the amount is over 10000 or under 10000 to choose a particular payment method. The pmt run should automatically print checks over 10000 with one form and the other with another form.

There has to be some other way round. Any suggestions.

Hi,

You need some ABAP done here, there is no other way.

You should not need ABAP for this scenario - two payment methods should work.

We have a scenario like yours only with electronic payments, not checks. We need all payments under a certain amount to go to one EFT file and any payments over a certain amount to go to a different EFT file. We have accomplished this with two payment methods. In the payment method for payments over 10,000, when you set up the payment method for the company code in FBZP, you set the Minimum amount to 10,000.01 and the max amount to 99999,999,999.99 (or a lower number if you have a different max amount) and assign the appropriate form. Then for the payment method under 10,000, you set the Maximum amount to 10,000.00 and the minimum amount to whatever your minimum amout is for cutting a check - let's say 1.00 - and assign the form for those payments. (or you can set the min amount on the first payment method to 10,000.00 and the max amount on the second to 9,999.99 depending on which form the 10,000.00 payment should be printed on).

On your vendors' master records, you will need to maintain both payment methods. Then when you do your automatic payment run (F110) you need to enter both payment methods. During the processing of the run, SAP will using the min and max settings to determine the payment method to use based on the amount of payment.

It makes sense. So then we will have to do pmt run twice depending on the pmt method. Once with pmt method suppose "x" (under 10,000) and other one with "y" (over 10,000)

There is only one field for maintaining the pmt method in vendor master. How do you maintain more then one pmt method there???

Hi Sheena,

you can maintain more than one payment method in a vendor master data, you put them together in the same fields.

For example : you need three payment method : Check, Transfert and Bill of exchange, so you enter : CTE in this fields.

Sheena,

Jehade is correct - you can maintain more than one payment method on the vendor master.

In addition, you can use more than one payment method in a single automatic payment run - so you do not need to do two runs - just one. Enter both methods in the payment methods field on the selection tab. Then in the printout tab, enter one variant for each payment method. Process the run as you would a run for a single payment method. In the run, SAP will select the appropriate payment method for each payment based on the min and max amounts you maintain on the methods in config.

Regards,

Shannon

Thanks for everyone's replies. Just need to clarify one more thing. How do we pick the only invoices that are due by a particular date. for eg. we run the pmt run one week before the invoices are due and want to pick up only those invoices, how do we do that?

Sheena,

The Next p/date (Next payment date) on the Parameter tab of F110 is used in determining whether selected invoices should be paid in the current run or whether they can wait to be paid in the next payment. For example, if you do a payment run today and set the next payment date to November 3, 2008 (one week from today), SAP will propose for payment all invoices that are due prior to November 3. If the invoice is due on November 3 or after, they will not be included for payment.

Hopefully this answers your question.

Can we resolve this issue with payment method supplement ?? if yes, please advice how ??

Hi,

You will need to pull your ABAPER in and ask him to modify the layout and insert a call to a program where you can define the logic for selecting based on check value.

It would make sense to combine the 2 check layouts into one and then deciding within the layout itself which one to pick.

Cheers.

hi

i think you must run the payment program separetely (via free selections include or exclude amounts ..or other suitable selections)

After each run print the respective cheques separetely
