In configuration t code FBZP ("All company codes" option), try using payment method supplement. I think that should take care of your requirement.

Here is SAP help text for this field.

Usage of Payment Method Supplements

Means that payments are to be separated in the document according to a preset characteristic.

Use

If you select this option, a payment method supplement can be predefined in the customers and vendors of the company code. This supplement is used to group payments. Payments are separated according to payment method supplements and can be printed separately by these supplements or sorted by them for printing. The payment method supplement is defaulted during document entry and can be overwritten there.

Procedure

Select this option if you want to use payment method supplements.

I have enabled payment method supplement and executed APP but still two payment documents are getting generated.

Can you please help me on this?

In vendor master (payment transactions tab), is the field 'Individual pmnt' checked? If yes, automatic payment program pays every open item separately. Also, pl. read the help text on fields 'Grouping key' and 'Pmt meth. supl.' in the same tab in vendor master. Overall, these are the field settings that you should be looking at for your requirement.

Hi Srikanth,

Field 'Individual pmnt' is not selected in Vendor master...

After enbling the 'Pmt meth. supl', I have defined a new 'Pmt meth. supl' and assigned it in the vendor master under 'Pmt meth. supl field. It automatically populated in Invoice & Cr Memo. But is didn't group the payment, it generated two different documents.

Thanks,
