  • F110 Automatic Payment Program- restrict items per payment document

    Hi,
    I want to know whether it is possible to restrict number of invoices to be paid in one payment document.
    Scenario:
    Suppose a vendor has 25 invoices to be paid normally all the invoices would be paid thru' one payment document but my client wants to restrict the number of invoices in one payment document as 10.
    Is there any config to be maintained in FBZP?
    I hope I am clear in my query.
    Thanks
    Suresh

    Hello Suresh,
    I feel that the number of items to be processed in a payment run cannot be restricted.
    Please go through the below link to understand the various processing settings for the automatic payment program.

  • Running automatic payment program in case of multiple legal entity

    Dear SAP Gurus's
    Our client is a big corporate group and it includes lot of legal entities and all the legal entities are configured as  Company codes in SAP.
    How to proceed for F110(Automatic payment program)  in such a scenario where there will be lot of bank accounts and there will be restriction on end use of funds because loans are disbursed to meet the project requirments.
    Suitable answers will be rewarded with points.
    Thnaks in adavnce for your kind asistance.

    skp

    Hi Surendra,
    Access the transaction code FBZP in SAP to configure APP.
    Few points if you design a APP.
    All the company codes which are included in the payment run should belong to same country.
    Centralised payments can be handled using options sending company code and paying company code.
    Payment methods can be maintained for country and  paying company code
    Ranking order can be mentioned for the banks and the payment methods in APP
    The amounts which you mention as available amounts are only PLANNED amounts for the number of days.
    Please refer the below link to know more:

  • 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.

  • Document selection in Automatic Payment program F110

    Hi Experts,
    Is is possible to use document number as selection criteria for automatic payment program (F110). Currently the options available are Vendor and Customer, In the "free selection" tab  we can enter only one document at a time. Is it possible to select multiple documents for payment?
    Thanks and regards,
    Achal

    Hi,
    It is possible to enter multiple documents.
    You can enter a list of single documents or in intervals.
    Enter the document number in ascending order.
    Ex:
    Individual documents.
    10001,10003,10011
    If the documents are in a sequence you can enter the Interval like this
    (10001,10011)
    Hope it helps you

  • Automatic Payment Program-which of the bank accounts is chosen for payment

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a question related to Automatic Payment Program(F110). When Automatic Payment Program is run which bank account is chosen?
    Is it the
    1. Main Acount
    2. Payment Sub account?
    Also, why?
    Kindly answer.
    Regards,
    Sagar

    Hi Sagar,
    In F110, the Payment Sub Account is selected for Payment(The Outgoing Bank Account). This is defined in FBZP in the node bank determination> Bank Selection> Bank Accounts.
    The reason why this GL is selected is :-
    1. When you make Payment: -
    Vendor A/C...Dr.
    To Outgoing Bank Account
    2. Bank Reconciliation
    Outgoing Bank Account Dr.
    To main bank Account
    The entry to the main bank Account is posted only when the information that the cheque is encashed by the vendor is sent by Bank in Bank Statement. The Main bank Account is the balance as per Bank Books. So, till the time, we do not receive info from bank that the cheque is encashed, the amount lies in Outgoing bank Account and it is transferred to main bank account only upon final confirmation from bank.

  • Automatic payment program for USD

    HI,
    Can any one share the steps to configure  automatic payment program for  USD currency.
    I have done APP for  advance pyment/ clearing invoice/Terms of payment.in INR ... but wanted to know  how to make the payment to customers
    what would be the scenario where we make the payments to customer.
    Regards,
    kamal

    Hi,
    First you have to define House Bank for USD payment and assign sub bank account id for House bank,
    2. The Payment method which you are using  for USD payment should tick as foreign currency allowed in payment method in company code.
    3. In 'Bank Determination' button   Please assign Ranking Order to payment method currency and house bank as per your organization's requirement.
    4. On Bank AccountsType in your House bank name and House bank Account id and G/L account for Bank sub-account
    5. On Available Amounts  provide details as required as per house bank and account id.
    It will solve your problems.

  • Automatic payment program for customer

    Hello!
    I have the next issue: I want to pay physically (give money from bank) to somebody (a commission). In the system, this person is defined as customer. Can I use the automatic payment program for a customer(as it is in SAP system) and send the payment to MultiCash in order the money can go out from my account?(I want to really pay somebody defined as a customer and use the APP and Multicash)
    Thank you!

    Yes, as long you have an open item on the customer account that needs paying.
    In F110 you see vendor_and_customer in the parameter screen.

  • 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.

  • Assignment of Banks in F110(Automatic Payment Program)

    Hello All,
    I have a specific requirement while assigning the due items to the House Banks in Automatic Payment Program.
    Requirement is like below.
    There are 2 vendor line items which are due for payment in the APP.
    Vendor     Amount
    1000     u20AC 325
    2000     u20AC 2750
    House Banks and Ranking Order and available amounts are like below.
    Bank  * Ranking Order*        * Amount*
    CITI            1                              3000
    HSBC          2                             4000
    As per the Standard SAP, the allocation happens based on the Vendor no. So it will be like below
    Vendor 1000, amount u20AC 325 has been assigned to House Bank CITI(after this allocation, bal. available is 2675 in CITI)
    For Vendor 2000, amount u20AC2750, the Bank assigned will be HSBC(as there is no sufficient balance in CITI).
    Our requirement is as below(Sort the items based on the amount), so it would be like below
    Vendor 2000, u20AC 2750 should be picked from Bank CITI(Ranking Order 1, after this the available balance is u20AC 250)
    Vendor 1000, u20AC 325 should be picked from Bank HSBC(as there is no sufficient balance available in CITI).
    Is there any standard user-exit or BTE that helps here.
    Any pointers to handle this situation.
    Thanks and Regards
    Balaji Kancherla

    Hello Gaurav,
    Thanks for your reply.
    BTE 1810 is not helpful in this case.  This is more towards selecting the partner bank in each individual line items.  Our objective is to sort the line items based on the amount(not on Vendor No. LIFNR).
    Best Regards

  • 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.
