Hi Experts,

Need your help to solve below issue.

Compmnay code "1111" is central compasny code,which is making payments to vendor "dddd" through automatic payment program on behalf of other company codes(2222 and 3333).

Hi Lucky,

If you De-select this Individual Pmnt check box in Vendor Master, all the individual open items for that vendor will be paid as a group/single payment for all the individual open items.

Please reply if this is correct.

Hi Expert,

To pay with one check, you need to the below configuration. Go to T-Code:OBVU and do the below steps, according to your requirement.

and Select payment method supplement (check box)

Specify the sending company code if you want to pay using a cross-company code transaction but do not want to pay the items of all participating company codes together.

Examples

Example 1:

Company code 0001 pays its own items and the items of company codes 0002 and 0003. All items are grouped into one payment.

Company code Paying company code Sending company code

0001 0001 0001

0002 0001 0001

0003 0001 0001

Example 2:

Company code 0001 pays its own items and the items of company codes 0002 and 0003. However, a separate payment is created for each company code.

Company code Paying company code Sending company code

0001 0001 0001

0002 0001 0002

0003 0001 0003

Hi Uma,

Even though Vendor is same, paying company code and sending company code in both cases are different. Correct me if I have misunderstood your case.

From your example,

Company code "1111" is central company code,which is making payments to vendor "dddd" through automatic payment program on behalf of other company codes(2222 and 3333).

Issue1:Company code "1111" has open item 1000 with respect to vendor "dddd" and company code "2222" has open item 3000 with respect to same vendor.

So here we have

case 1) Paying company code 1111, sending company code 1111, vendor dddd, invoice/open item 1000

case 2) Paying company code 1111, sending company code 2222, vendor dddd, invoice/open item 2000.

Please check the notes 164835 and 305414 very carefully and check the structure ZHLG1. If one of the points from the note is not fulfilled, then the documents to be paid will not be grouped.

Hope this clarifies.

Kind Regards

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.

Thanks for the immmediate response.

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,
