Automatic Block picked up in F-48

[former_member221515]

Hi

When i post entry in F-48 (advance to Vendor), automatic payment block is picked up. I have not given any payment block in Vendor master and also i have not used any payment term. Inspite of this payment block is automatically picked up.

Let me know how to remove this setting.

Hi

i instruct my customer to do following way:

They should leave the payment block active on downpayment

When they iinput an invoice for a vendor with downpayment the info message appears.

Then the should press the OI botton in FB60/MIRO, select the special GL line, double click on it, go to change and release the payment block.

Then go back to the invoice and post the invoice.

This process makes sure that no overpayments are done to the vendors

F110 then automatically clears the downpayment.

Cheers

Dear all,

unfortunately there is no possibility

to post the down payment without the blocking indicator,

because the payment block is hard coded in the program.

In the standard, the block is set in SAPMF05A as this is necessary

to ensure that other programs work correctly.

The reason is the following:

The idea of issuing a down payment is not to offset or to create a

debit position to the existing invoices in the account...therefore a

down payment MUST be blocked. After the related invoice has been

created, you will assign the down payment to the invoice. A down payment

should be assigned to special balance sheet positions therefore you

have to use the special G/L posting feature. If you only want to offset

some invoices in a payment/dunning run, use the credit memo transaction

(F-41) or create a debit entry using FB01.

I hope this helps You.

Hi Maurizio,

When i do F-48, payment block is attached to document. Then when i do F-44 (vendor clearing), it does not give error.

But when i do F-53 (payment to vendor), i put Special GL in the screen and other details, can see Advance also. But it does not allow me to select the advance line item. It gives me error that the document is "1 item was not selected due to payment block"

Why this error is given for clearing under F-53 and not for F-44.

Hi

Payment Block is not concerned with clearing vendor through F-44 but it doesn't allow doing payment through F-53/58.

You may use substitution/validation to force blocked payment block field to be filled with unblocked parameter.
