DRQ# Payment Wizard Sort Function

Hi,
The sort function in the SAP payment wizard, loses it's settings in Step 6. In Step 3, you can sort the BP name field to sort by alpha, but in Step 6 the sort converts back to numeric, by BP Code. Our client is having problems with this when making their invoice selections in the wizard, as their invoice filing system is alphabetic and they have a large pile to sort through when making payments.
I would have thought the sort option should retain throughout the wizard from Step 3 to Step 6. Additionally it would be nice if in Step 6 there was also the option to sort again if needed.

Dear SAP,
Is this question so difficult, nobody can give a response so far??

DRQ : Payment Wizard Recommendation Report

Some of our customers Vendors change their bank account numbers according a AP Invoice. In Payment Wizard run user is able to see the Vendor Bank Account Number only after the payment are added. If the account number is incorrect, accountant must manually cancel all payment wizard entries. Many accountant require that Vendor bank account number should be checked before the payment run is excecuted. Therefore in the Payment Wizard -> Recommendation Report the Vendor bank account number from the AP Invoice should be included in this step.
This cannot be done by using UDF/FMS cause you are not able to create one in this form. No workaround for this issue.

Sorting of Dunning Wizard and Payment Wizard

Dear Development,
we have the following business situation.
1) We create a Dunning Wizard or Payment Wizard.
2) We make a printout of all selected business partner and documents in Step 5 of the DW or PW.
3) The chief decides which payments should be done.
4) We have to unslect or select the checkboxes again.
5) The problem is now, it is quite difficult to find out the correct business partner related to the printout.
We need a filter functionality or a sorting algorithm for all columns. Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards Chris

Hello Chris,
Thank you for your input. It's quite clear and reasonable. Unfortunately, sorting and filtering feature is quite difficult to implement on multi-level/hierachical grids in SAP Business One; for the time being, this logic is not supported but we will consider it for one of the next major releases.
I guess ideally the 'Find' control could help better. That we can consider as well. What do you think?

DRQ: Allow choosing correct Business Partner bank account in Payment Wizard

Hello,
This is a DRQ about the Payment process.
It concerns the "Payment Wizard" functionality (Menu "Banking --> Payment Wizard") and the "manual outgoing payments" creation (Menu "Banking --> Outgoing Payment --> Outgoing payment").
Version : 2007A SP00 PL38
Description of requirements :
In the current version of SBO ( 2007 SP00 PL38 ) when we create an outgoing payment with bank transfer as Payment method (manually or with the Payment Wizard), it is not possible to specify the Supplier "bank account" to use. The default bank account defined in the Supplier Master Data is automatically chosen by SAP B1.
We can create several bank accounts in the Supplier Master Data, but it is not possible to use the non-default ones in the outgoing payments creation.
Business needs:
Some of our SAP B1 customers get suppliers with several bank accounts. They use the "Payment Engine" to generate "bank file" for bank transfer and forward the bank files to their banks and require to choose the correct bank accounts to use to pay each documents.
The aim of the Payment Wizard is to help the SAP B1 customers to create regularly and automatically some outgoing payments.
And when the Payment Wizard is run with several documents to pay on different supplier bank accounts for (for example AP Invoices to pay on different bank accounts for the same supplier), it does not work correctly because the bank account which is used in the "bank file" created at Step 9 of the "Payment Wizard" (by clicking the "Bank File" button added by the Payment Engine) is the default one.
Current Workaround:
To generate correct bank files, the SAP B1 user has to run several times the "Payment Wizard", modifying each times the default bank account of the supplier. The result is the creation of several "bank files"...
and an important loss of time !
Proposed solution:
In the Payment Wizard, in Step 6/9, add a column which allow the user choosing the bank account (for example in a "choose from list" which display the existing bank accounts of the corresponding supplier) for each document to pay.
The supplier default account is proposed by default but can be changed for each line.
This column should be deactivated for other payment method than "Bank Transfer".
This functionality should be interesting for manual outgoing payment because it should allow choosing the supplier bank account to pay on and recording this bank account information in the manual outgoing payment. In that way it will be possible to print the bak account information on the printed forms (PLD) we can print and send by fax to the bank.
Kind Regards.
Grégory

Hi Grégory
I have encountered the same problem: The payment wizard always suggests the supplier's standard bank account, irrespective of the information entered on the logistics tab in the pay to field of the AP Invoice. Unlike the solution you proposed (choose from list), I would prefer the payment wizard to automatically select the bank entered in the pay to field of the AP Invoice.
Best regards
Christiane

Order Payment Wizard Recommendation Report by BP Code then DocNum

Hi Experts,
Currently in SAP, the Payment Wizard Recommendation Report is ordered by BP Code. Documents per BP are then ordered at random.
Could this be changed to be ordered by BP Code, then DocNum to make finding specific documents easier
Thanks
Greig

Hi Greig,
We will consider this idea as a candidate for one of the next major releases.
Documents per BP are not listed randomly; they are sorted per Due Date field - key detail for deciding what to pay and what not.
Thank you.

Outgoing Payment Approval Procedure - Payment Wizard

Hi,
I was having an issue with the SAP Approval Procedures I was hoping I could get answered.
I have created an Approval Procedure for Outgoing Payments in SAP 8.82 to always require approval.
The approval procedure works fine when I create an Outgoing Payment by going to Banking >> Outgoing Payment >> Outgoing Payment.
If I try to create an Outgoing Payment via the Payment Wizard, it does not go through the approval process.
I have made sure that I have enabled the "Activate Approval Procedures in DI" functionality under General Settings. It still does not do the trick.
Can someone please tell if this is an SAP bug or not? If not a bug, any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks,
Krishnan

Hi Krishnan,
I believe this is by system design or another word a system limitation. The logic here is: if you are able to run the Payment Wizard, you have authorization already.
A work around may be creating a user alert whenever you have the Payment Wizard run.
Thanks,
Gordon

Payment Wizard without payments (on account)

Hello,
maybe I misunderstood the payment wizard but if I add manually a payment (incoming/outgoing), why does it then appear in the recommendation report (as the payment is already DONE)?
I don't want to transfer the payment on account back to my supplier/customer and he won't do it either...
If on the BP master data the checkbox "Single Payment" is activated, the situation becomes even worse as I cannot combine incoming and outgoing payments on account with invoices anymore, which would at least give it a small sense...
The SAP Support stated that this is intended as it is and I wonder why? In SBO 2005A payments on account were not listed in the recommendation report and my customer is understandably confused right now...
So, if there is any possibility to get the behaviour from 2005A in 2007A, I'd like to know it
Kind regards,
Sebastian Kleiner

Hi Sebastian,
in 2007 the manually executed payment on account appears in the recommendation report as long as it is not reconciled. In case of an outgoing payment on account, the amount will be displayed negative in the report & may be included in the payment run to reduce the total payment amount by that sum. In essence, the application states in the recommendation report that there are outstanding invoices to be paid, but also unreconciled payments. It thus gives the user the opportunity to avoid overpayment.
The functionality of 'Single Payment' defines that the Payment Wizard is to create a separate payment for each open invoice. As long as an invoice is not reconciled, it is open, regardless of whether there is a matching payment on account or not.
Please consider using the internal reconciliation functionality to match payments on account with the appropriate invoice(s) or include the payment on account in the payment wizard run to adjust the payment. When using 'single payment', you need to use the internal reconciliation since then negative journals are not included in the payment run, you will find these transactions in the 'Non-included Transaction Report' at the recommendation stage of the payment wizard.
All the best,
Kerstin

Cannot create Payments with Payment wizard

Hi experts!
Using the payment wizard I select the invoices to be paid by bank transfer.
Even if I list all the necessary data and run no payment will be created.
If I create them one by one by the function of outgoing payments all goes on without problem.
I looked into Non-included transactions and for my bills appears the message:
An error occurred while writing to the results table payment, no payment. 925
Does anyone knows how can i resolve this problem?
Regards, Luca.

Hi Luca,

Service Tax On Down Payment and Tax Payment Wizard

Hi All,
We would like to make a down payment and apply service tax to it.
Once i create a AP Down payment invoice with the service tax, make an outgoing payment against it, create AP Invoice and adjust the down payment, now after following this procedure, when i run the tax payment wizard, the service credit available becomes zero.
It works well in case of partial payment but not 100% advance. Has anyone faced this issue??
How can this be resolved?
Thanks,
Joseph

Hi Rahul,
Exactly! The system doesnt consider the tax on DP when we check through Tax Payment Wizard.
I guess this is a missing functionality? What do you think? Because there may be a chance that the service tax may get deducted at down payment! What is your take on this?
Looking for valuable responses from other experts too!
Thanks,
Joseph

Payment wizard-note 1385256

Dears,
by message 1385256 SAP changed functionality.
When supplier has zero balance, is not possible to select BP in the payment wizard.
Problem become, when supplier has zero balance and you create Down payment request. This
request has no affect on BP balance. But is necessary to offer it in payment wizard. In current version
it is not possible to choose this supplier. Customer has no information about open A/P Down payment
Request.

Hi,
Have you checked this and post it there too? New B1 Idea Place!!!

Payment Wizard Enhancement Request

Hello,
Currently, SAPB1 does not allow for the exclusion of vendors or customers with $0 account balances when running the Payment System/Payment Wizard. We would like to see this added as standard functionality.
Thank you.

Hi Mimi,
Not very much sure about the which version you're using.
I tried the scenario in my SBO 2005B PL5 (Evaluation version) and am able to exclude suppliers and customers with Zero balance.
Under step 3 of 9, you will be able to exclude business partners whom you dont wish to include in the payment run.
Assign point if useful.
Thanks,
Srikanth

Bank charge can be available on Payment wizard??

Dear Experts,
Is there any function to input bank charge on Payment Wizard (outgoing) ??
I know that we can input bank charge on Incoming payment document, but I believe that we can not input bank charge on Outgoing payment. So I asume that Payment wizard also doesn't have such a function. Please give me an advice...
Scenario is as follows;
Dr. BP Account Payable, 100
Dr. Bank Charges 5
Cr. Cash 105
Thanks and regards,
Kaori

Hi Kaori,
so far it's not available in the payment wizard, but you can try it the other way around using Bank Statement processing. Please see SAP Note 1324641.
All the best,
Kerstin

Choosing one document in Payment wizard

Hi
Version: SBO 2004C PL69
Description of requirements: We need to choose one (from 30) document in Payment wizard on step 6.
Business needs: In Payment wizard on the step 6 we get all the documents for paying marked, so if we want to choose one or two of them we have to unmark 30-40 others by clicking on the flag. So its taking a lot of time
Examples: See above
Current Workaround: Clicking on them for unmarking
Proposed solution: Add a function and a button «Unmark all on the step 6.

Hello,
I checked the issue, however, I did not reproduce it even on 2004C PL69.
You can unmark all selections on line by clicking on label field of the checkbox column.

Payment Wizard Enhancement

I'd like to suggest a Payment Wizard enhancement. In Step 6, sorting by BP Name isn't possible. Some of our clients have a business policy of allocating payments based on the BP Name, rather than the BP Number. This may be driven by processes outside of SAP Business One. Not being able to sort by BP Name increases the difficulty of this step.
It is worth noting that in Step 3, it is possible to sort by BP Name.

Mark Dielmann
