How to configure T042E_WANFF(Number of Days Until Bill of Exchange Pmnt Request Due Date)

[Kaito2]

Hello everyone, I would appreciate it so much if you would take the time to read and answer my question. 

■Customer requirement
I'm currently customizing the bill of exchange process for Japan in S/4HANA Public Cloud. The customer requirement is to change the due date for BOE payable (see the table below) based on vendors. The span from the posting date can be 1 to 3 months, but it depends on the vendors. (In the case of the table below, the span is 1 month.)
 

MMDDYYYY	Action	Due Date
12/16/2024	Posting an invoice with the payment method O(for BOE)	01/31/2025
01/31/2025	Running an Automatic Payment Program to post a BOE for the invoice	02/28/2025
02/28/2025	Clearing the BOE	-

■How I'm trying to deal with it 
For this requirement, I'm currently trying to configure T042E_WANFF in Set Up Payment Methods per Company Code for Payment Transactions(101044) so that I can configure the span for each payment method and then properly assign them to vendors.
■The problem that I have
Is there any way for activating this item? It seems perferct for this requirement, but somehow unavailable to change right now.(Please refer to the image attached.)

Another option would be to maintain terms of payment to have two dates : one is for the invoice, and the other is for the BoE.

Thank you,

Kaito

Hi Kaito,

Good Day!

I have double checked with our development team, in the current process of generating BOEs in the app Manage Automatic Payment, the Due Date is a required field. When manually entering this date, you can input your desired BOE due date, which will then appear on the generated documents. However, in the configuration activity 'Set Up Payment Methods per Company Code for Payment Transactions,' this field cannot be modified now. This field is meant for incoming BOE requests, not for outgoing BOEs.

Hope the information could help you.

Best regards,

Lola

Hi Kaito,

Good day !

Thank you for sharing this blog. May I kindly confirm whether you have proceeded with the proposed solution for Bill of Exchange – AP in Japan, where the desired BoE due date is entered during the creation of the Manage Automatic Payment run? If you have already implemented this approach, could you please share how you handled cases where multiple suppliers with different BoE terms (e.g., 45 days, 60 days, 90 days, etc.) are included in the same automatic payment run?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards, HY
