Automatic Payment Program clearing docs created but no checks created

Hi All,
During APP open items are cleared but the checks are not been created, i found that if you do not enter the program variant(under printout/data medium) for the vendor housebank checks are not created.
Is there any way to always include the variant, at all times withot manually entering it.
Also can i make this field mandatory
Thanks
Shine

Hello,
The issue is in the variant, the values are not static, the entries like Payment Run Date and Identification Key needs to be changed every time that you run F110. Meaning that these values are to be replaced with your Payment Run Date and Identification Key and other details like House Bank, Account ID, if it is check payment, your check lot number, vendor account range etc. There is nothing these values comes automatically.
Regards,
Ravi

How to create check in batch automatically after automatic payment program

Hello
SAP Experts i am getting a issue
how to create check in batch automatically after automatic payment program ( t code is f110)
Thanks & Regards
Narendra.G

Hi Narendra,
Please note the process below for cheque Printing:-
1. The pre requisite for Cheque printing is you have used program RFFOUS_c/or the Z version of this program in FBZP and that you have maintained the form name in the field Form name for Payment medium in FBZP.
2. You have a pre printed stationary on which you want to print and the Program & the form has been modified to print as per this.
3. In F110, you must have assigned the Variant name, which would specify the cheque lot no. and this should exactly match with the current cheque no. in the pre printed stationary.
4. Now, after all this setting, when you run Payment run in F110, then also only the Payment documents are posted but the cheque no.s are not updated in the Payment document no. nor the PAYR table is updated. It is only when you run the Print out tab, that a spool is created in SP01 for cheque printing as per the Payment documents.
5. Then in SP01, you can print the spool on your pre printed stationary.
This is the complete process of printing cheques from F110. Hope this helps..

SAPFICO

Payment not clearing for Vendor through Automatic Payment Program

Hi
I had setup automatic payment program for my vendor to take $ from my GL account. When I run the payment program, it ran without any error, however, the vendor account was not cleared. The balance in GL and Vendor account remains the original amounts.
The log shows the following.
Job started
Step 001 started ( program SAPF110S, variant &0000000001081, user ID XXXXXXX)
Log for payment run for payment on 01/12/2008, identification XXXX
End of log
Job finished
Can anyone help ?
Thanks
Shalini

I have not proposed a solution. Now go to F110 and go to the table additional tab and press proposal log button on the lower right hand side. this will give a detailed log. Either analyse this error set right error or send the error log for analysis.
First run the proposal run and if it is successful, run the payment run and then to print run.
It should be run in the above sequence.

How to generate checks when executing Automatic Payment Program (F110)

Is it possible to generate checks automatically when I execute the automatic payment program? Will reward points to any suggestion. Thanks!

hi patrick
try this.....ur problem may solve.....
Create Automatic Payment Transactions (F110)
Purpose
Use this procedure to generate checks proposals or ACH proposals and then subsequently issue checks or set up ACH files to be transmitted to the bank.
Trigger
Perform this procedure when through either an ACH or a check, a creditor of the University needs to be paid.
Prerequisites
Open invoices with reached due dates have to be present in the SAP system.
Menu Path
Use the following menu path to begin this transaction:
·         Select Accounting Financial Accounting Accounts Payable Periodic processing Payments to go to the Automatic Payment Transactions: Status screen.
Transaction Code
F110
Business Process Information
The automatic payment process will be centrally managed in the Accounts Payable Office. The automatic payment program will be executed each day for all open invoices (across vendors) in the system. There will be separate payment run execution corresponding to each payment method category:
Check payments: clears the open invoices and issues a check output
ACH payments: clears the open invoices and issues an ACH file output
Foreign currency payments: clears open invoices but no output is issued
State/Grant payments: clears open invoices but no output is issued
The process steps executed during the automatic payment program are:
Enter Payment Parameters
Edit/review Payment Proposal
Post Payments
Generate Payment Medium (print checks or create ACH payment file)
Generate Positive Payment File
The payment parameters are entered in order to limit the open invoices and credits selected for payment. It is important to note that the payment terms that are defined on the invoice will drive whether a invoice is due for payment during the current payment run. During the payment program execution, the invoices that are due for payment will be presented to the user on a payment proposal list.
The payment proposal is a list of expected payments grouped by vendor account. Invoices that are due for payment but cannot be paid due to some kind of accounting or system error are listed as exceptions. Examples of typical exceptions are missing banking information (for ACH payments) and blocked invoices. Some payment exceptions will be resolved at the Accounts Payable Office. However the Department must resolve some exceptions. When these types of exceptions appear on the payment proposals, the Accounts Payable Office will inform the Department of the blocked payment in order to get a resolution. Key personnel in the Accounts Payable Office will be the only resources to have access to the editing function of the payment proposal processing. Typically, there is no business reason the edit or change a payment proposal. Editing options for a payment proposal includes: changing the default disbursing bank account information or changing the payment method.
After the payment proposals have been reviewed and edited, the proposals are posted as payments. It is important to note that any open credit on the vendor's account is also taken in consideration when creating the vendor's payment. The payment method supplement defined on the invoice will drive the check sorting.
In addition to the printed check output, the payment program run produces an ACH file and a Positive Pay file. Both files are sent to the bank for further processing. The ACH file contains the vendor's payment and banking data. The Positive Pay file contains the check data (check processed, voided, etc) and is used for confirmation of payments.

Automatic Payment Program(F111) not picking Bank Sub accounts

Dear all,
The entiries genertaed from automatic payment program(F111) is not picking the bank sub accounts (Receipts/Payment GLs) which are given in the following node:-
Financial Accounting --> Bank Accounting --> Business Transactions -->Payment Transactions --> Payment Request --> Define Clearing Accts forReceiving Bank for Acct. Transfer
It is picking the Main Bank GL, which has given in bank master(FI12).
Please advise.
Thanks & regards
Ramesh Nair

Hi,
The config : Financial Accounting --> Bank Accounting --> Business Transactions -->Payment Transactions --> Payment Request --> Define Clearing Accts for Receiving Bank for Acct. Transfer
Is to decide bank sub account of the sending bank, when you are doing Bank to Bank transfer. This is manditory for cash management bank to bank transfer. Please read the config documentation again.
I just cut and paste from SAP documentaion.
"In this activity you define the offsetting accounts for the receiving bank accounts for bank account transfers (payments between house bank accounts) which should be posted to when payment is made.
The entries are necessary when payment requests are created for cash management payment advice notes that result from cash concentration, for example. The offsetting accounts for the paying house bank are determined by the payment program specifcations and the payment methods used. The offsetting accounts for the receiving house bank cannot be determined from these specifications, however, but can be defined in this section. "
Now, when you are creating payments with F111 and if you want to get sub accounts for house bank you have to do the following config.
F111 -> Maintain Configuration -> Bank determination -> Bank accounts ( for each accont id and payment method combination ).
Then you will see payments from this sub accounts and you have to setup posting rule to clear this account if you are doing EBS.

Run date problem in F110 - automatic payment program

Hi.
I am trying to run the automatic payment program in F110. I am facing the problem with the run date in this transaction. System is not giving me any error if i give the run date as today's date or future date.
But in run date if i give previous date system is not executing the automatic payment program.
Eg: Inovice posted on 01.01.2012. It becomes due on 01.01.2012. I gave run date as today's date 04.01.2012 or future date the system is executing correctly picking all invoices. But if i give the run date as previous to the current date i.e., 02.01.2012 or 03.01.2012 then system is not executing this transaction.
This problem is coming for all company codes. So if there is any setting for restricting run date request you to help me in this regard where can i do such setting.
Regards,
Padmavathi

Hi.
My problem is solved.
Actually client is entering the documents with posting date for earlier months whereas he has entered the documents this month.
Therefore system is not picking the invoices in F110 - automatic payment program.
Actually the run date entered is getting copied to the parameters entered i.e., posting date and documents entered upto date.
Documents are entered in the system this month with posting dates of previous months. Therefore if i give the run date as this month date the run date is getting copied to doc entered upto date in the parameters tab as this month date. So only system is not picking invoices since invoices are entered in the system this month only.
Now we changed the date for doc entered upto with previous month date and system is picking the invoices.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Padmavathi

Automatic payment program how to explain in interviewes

hi friends
asking automatic payment program explanation in interviewes. how to explain the automatic payment program pls tell me my mail id [email protected]

The payment program can be broken down into the following steps:
1. Define parameters (Parameters TAB on the F110 screen)- Based on the parameters defined the program picks up the vendor 'open' items to be paid and displays them in the payment proposal. The parameters tell the program the following:
    a. Which company codes you want to include in this payment run (If the AP cleark who is running the program is responsible for only North American companies, he/she will include only those company codes in the payment run)
    b. Which Vendor you want to pay (suppose there are lot of AP clerks in an organization, they can use this to restrict the selection to the vendor for whom they are responsible for payment)
    c. What are the payment methods you want to use to pay these vendors
    d. What is the next date when you will run payment run. Based on this date the program picks up all the items which become due till the next date of payment run, even though those open items are not due today.
2. Free selection TAB - In this TAB you can restrict the 'open' items you want to select. You can use any field in the BSEG table and restrict the selection. For e.g. You can select the field ' Document no.' from BSEG and give a range of documents you want to pay. The program will pick up only those documents for payment.
3. Additional Log TAB - In this TAB you can select the logs you want the system to create if there are any errors or for all items even if there are no errors. If the results of the program is not what you expected, then you can read the log to understand the reason why the program did not select what you wanted.
4. Print/data medium TAB - Here you supply the program variant for all the payment methods you are using. For e.g. in US if you use the 'Check' payment method, then in this TAB you supply the variant for the RFFOUS_C program. If you are using EDI payment method then a variant for the program RFFOEDI1 has to be supplied in this TAB.
5. Status TAB - Once you enter all the information in the above 4 TAB's you will come to the status TAB.
Initial status will be 'No Parameters have been entered'
Before you run the program, the status would be 'Parameters have been defined'.
After you run the proposal the status will change to 'Payment proposal has been created'.
After you run the Payment run the status will change to 'Payment run has been carried out. Posting orders: 10 generated, 10 completed'.
Thus the status tells you in what stage of the Payment program you are in.
Please note that the buttons you see here is dynamic. Based on the status the button will appear or disappear. But all the functionalities which these buttons offer can also be selected using the dropdown list appearing at the top of the screen.
6. After you completed the payment run, you have to print the payment media - If the payment method used is check, you print checks. If it is wire then you create the wire file etc. This is the last step in the payment run.
Important Note: After running the proposal, you should not leave the payment program. Either you should complete the payment run completely , all the way till you print the payment media, or delete the payment proposal.
If you do not delete the proposal, then the vendors in this proposal will not be included in any of the subsequent payment runs.
Hope this helps you in answering your Interview questions.
Good luck.
