Automatic payment program

[Former Member]

Hi Guru's,

in todays automatic payment program (F110) one of my vendor's invoices did not get paid. If paid today we would been granted with a paymentdiscount. Reason for the automatic payment program for not to pay the invoice was that there was a credit memo invoice with a larger amount than the invoice that i would like to have seen paid. So we kinda owned money from the supplier.

I received the requirement to collect as much as payment discount as possible by paying the invoice in time.

Now the invoice doesn't get paid today we lose the paymentdiscount and have to pay the full sum. Can I customize the SAP automatic payment program in such a way that those invoices will be paid automatically, eventhough balancewise we owe money from the vendor?

Kind regards.

in the vendor master, you can flag "individual payment" on the payment transactions tab on company code level. But in that way, no credit notes will be picked up automatically, they will have to be "added to the payment" in the proposal

Hi,

I have not handled this scenario but my best guess is that "BTE 00001820 PAYMENT PROGRAM: Item Selection" should be of help in this case..

What you can do is that wherever there is a debit balance, you can block the debit line item and then pass on only the credit line item for payment so it wont get blocked by standard SAP. Explore with ABAP.. if this is possible with the help of this BTE.

Hello,

The requirement in our company was to allow 7 days grace period for discounts. For example if the invoice date is 01 Sep 2011 and the term is 1% 10 - Net 30 days - the requirement was to allow deducting discount even if the payment was done by 17th Sep.

The issue is that when I process the invoice manually it works (f-53). But if I used APP, sytem does not consider the above invoice if the APP was run on 15th of Sep or any day after the discount date. APP would consider the invoice only on its due date.

Can any one help? The requirement is - when APP is run during the week when a discounted invoce due date is in its grace period, the system should consider the invoice for payment. I have included 7 days grace period in APP config for company code. If the payment terms is 1% 10 days and net 11 days it works well. The issue is with the term where it is 1% 10 days net 30 days.... after the 10 days time, the APP does not consider the invoice till the final due date.

Thanks

In F110 , After running the Proposal you can EDIT in EDIT Proposal and enter the discount amount and Save ,by this Discount will Provided. But Before tht you need to Sure tht there is provience from your Vendor to take discount even though Invoice is not fully Paid in time.

Hi,

There are four steps in automatic payment program:

a) Define Bank Master/House Bank (FI01, FI12 respec.)

b) define number range (fbn1)

c) payment program (fbzp)

d) payment program (f110)

That's true....I can manually edit the payment proposal and manually select the invoice that I would like to pay...

But I would like to see SAP automatically selecting this invoices in the situation that, balancewise, we owe money from the vendor and we're in the last payment run before my payment discount expires....

F110 has allready been setup....

I'm currently interesed how to customize f110 to above mentioned requirement...

[kbsapfi]

In this case you can post the particular document manually from t code f-53.

[Former Member]

that would be an alternative....

but is above requirement possible within F110?

[kbsapfi]

If a credit memo invoice with a larger amount is posted in the vendor account, f-53 is the solution. It cannot be done through F110.

Please try to make the payment through this tcode. I am sure it will help.
