Reversing Landed Cost document with more than one vendor

Question

Hi Experts,
Reversing Landed Cost document with more than one vendor:
My client can reverse a landed cost document with One Vendor, but cannot with multiple vendors. I have also tested this in 8.8 PL10. Here is a brief description:
Created Landed cost by selecting 2 vendors in the Vendor field.
After you picked one vendor, you go to the vendor code/name again then choose another vendor you
need, once you picked, the system will ask you whether you want to delete the previous data, then
you say no, after then you will see the vendor name became "different vendors" and code be "********"
(on the vendor tab: you will see two vendors)
To Reverse Landed Cost we do the following with Landed Cost documents that only have one vendor:
I can copy from the Landed Cost document (on the right-bottom corner) while creating new one with
zero amount to reverse, which is ok; but for multiple vendors, the list of vendors onlyshows one of
the vendors for Good Receipts & Landed Cost.
Cannot copy from a Landed Cost document wioth more than one vendor to reverse this Landed Cost.
To be albe to copy from a previously created Landed Cost document (with multiple vendors) as you
can with one vendor to reverse the transaction.
Can this functionality be added to future versions?

Take a look at business area and groupings in they payment program settings...
I am not sure what version you are on but the following link for 4.7 should provide some valuable information...

Grouping Open Items and Individual Payments
Wherever possible, the payment program will always group items together for payment.
The payment program can only group together open items for payment if the open items in an account have the same:
1. Currency
2. Payment method in the item
3. Bank in the item
4. Contents of the grouping fields (if a grouping key is specified in the customer or vendor master record)
You can also pay open items from different company codes together, as well as customer and vendor line items.
Items in an account are not grouped together if you:
1. Make payments separately per business area. This procedure entails separate payments being created per business area.
2. Want to make individual payments
Items in which a payment method is specified are not grouped with items in which no payment method is specified.
You define the required grouping key in the IMG for Financial Accounting under Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Outgoing Payments -> Automatic Outgoing Payments -> Payment Method/Bank Selection for Payment Program -> Define Payment Groupings.
In our system, if the business area is the same, there will be one ZP document with one line with a posting key of 25. Otherwise there will be many individual 25 posting key lines with.
