TRM payment date in Transaction Manager greyed out

[slucic]

Hello,

In S/4HANA Public Cloud TRM when creating or changing financial transaction, field payment date is greyed out. 

The customer has the requirement to use payment date different from due date (payment date is shifted compared to due date). For example, the due date is the last day of the month, and payment date is fifth day in the following period (payment date = due date + 5). The posting date must correspond to the due date.

In both screens, condition details and cash flow, the payment date is greyed out and cannot be changed. 

Are there configuration steps to allow payment date to be defined as per requirement?

Kind regards,

Slađana

Hello @slucic 

You are asking about the behaviour of the Payment Date field in financial transactions.

Here is why the Payment Date is Greyed Out in your scenario

• In S/4HANA Public Cloud TRM, the Payment date is not a free-entry field.
• It is system-derived from the due date and payment settings.
• This is by design. The cash flow and posting logic always tie the payment date to the due date rules and the posting date.

Here is what you can configure

1. Payment Terms or Flow Types
• The shift between due date and actual payment execution date is controlled through flow types and payment terms configuration.
• You can define that the execution date = due date plus X days.
2. Adjust payment schedule
• In Public Cloud, you cannot directly overwrite the Payment Date in the transaction.
• Instead, you must configure payment offset rules in customizing (via SSCUIs in CBC) so that the system generates a payment date shifted by 5 days compared to the due date.
3. Posting Date vs. Payment Date
• The posting date always reflects the contractual due date as required.
• The payment date then follows the offset rule.

There are limitations in Public Cloud which you should be aware of

• Direct manual entry of Payment Date is not possible → field is always greyed out in both Condition Details and Cash Flow.
• Only configurable logic (via flow types and payment terms) can influence it.

I hope this provides the desired result. Happy to answer any further questions.

Best regards
