Payment Method not viewable in APP Manage Supplier Line

[SFerrand]

Dear Community,

Doing a list for the open items in Manage Supplier Line and adding the payment method field I cant see which one taken in the posting, (taking in account the payment method was be assigned in vendor master data from the supplier). Our client is asking why is not possible the function since is important for the payment analysis previous execute the payment run (automatic payment program).

Below a screen of the situation previosly explained.

Hello,

to explain, you have two options for entering the payment method:

• For the company code:
  In the Manage Business Partner Master Data app (F3163), you can specify one or more payment methods per company code. This is valid for all supplier line items of the business partner in this company code.
• For the invoice item:
  In addition, you can maintain a payment method in the Manage Supplier Line Items app (F0712). This payment method is specific the invoice item. It overrides the payment method maintained on company code level.

In the Payment Method column in your screenshot in the Manage Supplier Line Items app, you see the value entered for the invoice item. Therefore, if this field is empty, it tells you that the payment method on company code level is valid. However, you have to navigate into the Manage Business Partner Master Data app to see which payment methods are entered for the supplier.

I hope this is clarifies your situation.

Best wishes

Hi Cristina,

Our Client need to check previous payment, which documents have the have payment method, T, C, etc or not payment method, with the screen shoot showed in my first post, we cant see these information, so the analysis for payments and doing a verification between this app and the app for payments is not possible, and the information is not clear. So, how is possible see the payment method in the list of open item for vendor?

Thanks

Hi SFerrand,

Hi SFerrand,

the “Manage Supplier Line Items” app shows the payment method which is entered in the line item directly.
Usually, there is no payment method entered in the supplier line item and the payment is automatically determined during the payment run. By leaving the payment method in the line item empty, you allow the system to determine the best payment method based on your configuration.
Entering a payment method for an open line item, however, would restrict the available payment method for this line item to this very single payment method.

You have to navigate into the Manage Business Partner Master Data app to see which payment methods are entered.

Best wishes
Christina

Hi Cristina, I understood your point, only I would like to watch the payment method on the list in Manage Supplier Line, exactly as you explained the payment method come from the data master, but is not "visible" in Manage Supplier Line Item.
