Create New Payment Method - error

[#1]

Hello Team,

We have existing payment method "C" for both Standing Order and Vendor Direct Debit Collection. But it is difficult to differentiate between these two at supplier line item level, which one is Standing Order and which one is Direct Debit.

So, we want to create a new payment method "U" for Vendor Direct Debit Collection for all our Company Codes.

We are trying to create a new Payment Method for Vendor Direct Debit in Set Up Payment Methods for Each Country/Region for Payment Transactions (SSCUI 101972) and then trying to assign to Company Code in Set Up Payment Methods per Company Code for Payment Transactions  (SSCUI 101044).

But we are getting error as below:

The ID U cannot be created in Centraldata Entity Payment Methods per Country (FI)  (used by variant) 

Message no. /SMB/CENTRALDATA014

Please let us know how to resolve the issue and create a new payment method.

Attached error screen shot for reference.

Regards,

Shrinivas

Hi Shrinivas, hope you're fine! For this specific type of question, I suggest you to open a ticket for SAP in the development side. As per standard design, the SAP provide a limited alphanumeric ids available to use for payment methods. You need to speak this and ask for unlock others possible ids.

After raising ticket with SAP, issue is resolved. SAP made available to utilize alphabet "U" to create new payment method as per our requirement. Thank you.
