Payment Block Indicator

I am using the payment block indicator in the import HEADERDATA for BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE and the table ACCOUNTPAYABLE for BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST. It can be set to *, A, B, N, P, R or V. Can other indicators be defined or are these the only ones allowed?
Im trying to determine if I should flag any other values as an error or just pass them along. Is there any way to programmatically determine what are valid indicators if others are allowed?
I have basic descriptions of the keys (* skip account, A/B blocked for payment, R invoice verification, etc) but its not very clear. Can anyone offer a more detailed description of the keys?
Any feedback appreciated <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>

How to Make MRBR to show the Customised Payment Block Indicator (MIRO) ?

Hi
Currently, from what I know of, MRBR only showing Log Payment Block as follows:
A     Automatically blocked due to existence of blocking reasons
S     Stochastically blocked
M     Manual payment block set in header - no blocking reasons
W     Automatically blocked due to entry via Web Invoice
However during the manual MIRO creation, I put in customised Payment Block G (Block due to XX) in the Payment Tab of MIRO. This G does not get shown up in MRBR.
How to make it possible in MRBR as I have configured a few customised Payment Block such as G (Block due to XX) and H (Block due to YY).
I would like MRBR to show up the exact Payment Block indicators as those in the MIRO.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi Nick.
I just found out that Payment Block Indicator shown in MIRO will appear in MRBR. The reason that it was not shown in MRBR because during MIRO creation, it was set BLANK and then user went to FB02 to change it with other customised Payment Block Value, thus when we run MRBR, it was showing blank under Payment Block column. Thus, we had to resort to LOG Payment Block which gave rise to this thread.
Having understand the importance of how FB02 changing payment block will affect MRBR, we have decided not to let user change the payment block in FB02.
SAP note: 394370 has explained everything:
"A document generated with MIRO was blocked for payment. You cancel the payment block from the vendor line item in the FI follow-up document. Transaction MRBR then displays the invoice document nevertheless. Why?
The invoice document itself cannot be changed by changes to the follow-up documents; this is not programmed. Transaction MRBR therefore continues to display the document as blocked. If this document is released from an MM point of view, the FI follow-up document remains released. Thus the damage caused is restricted to unnecessary work by the user. SAP recommends that you only use the release transactions for releasing invoices."
Thanks a lot!

RE: During MIRO payment block indicator piks up automatically

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me about this issue:
My user is doing MIRO at that time Payment block indicator picks up automatically for some invoices randomly what could be the reason.
1) there is price differences MIGO and MIRO the same
Pleas let me know the possible reasons to check in my case.
points will be assigned.

Hi,
When you enter an invoice, the system suggests the values that it expects an invoice to contain as a result of the purchase order or goods receipt. If the invoice item differs from the default values, you must determine the reason for the variance by contacting the purchasing or goods receiving department or the vendor.
If a tolerance limit is exceeded, you receive a system message. You can post the invoice in the system, but it is automatically blocked for payment if an upper tolerance limit is exceeded.
An invoice can be blocked for payment due to one of the following reasons:
u2022     Variance in an Invoice Item
u2022     Amount of an Invoice Item
u2022     Stochastic Block
u2022     Manual Block
When an invoice is blocked, Vendor cannot be paid. Invoices can be blocked either automatically or manually. You can block an item by selecting the Ma (manual blocking reason) field in the item list.
When you post an invoice, two things happen:
u2022     The account postings resulting from the invoice are made.
u2022     In the vendor line of the accounting document, the system enters an u201CRu201D in the field Payment block so that Financial Accounting cannot make payment for the invoice.
I hope this will solve your doubt.

Down payment block indicator

While posting a down payment to vendor through F-48, the item is automatically blocked. Can someone explain the reason behind this.

Hi Prasad,
It is SAP standard functionality, and it meant to prevent the Down payment from being paid when you run F110 - Auto-pay run. Logically the system should not be clearing the downpayment during auto-paymentrun, since the down payment should be cleared manually, hence the payment block.
If at all you want to change the functionality of this you can of course change this in Customising, but my opinion is thatyou should not.

How to stop clearing open items with manual payment block.

Dear,
Even though we have set "manual payment block" on payment block indicator in OB27,
I can process to clear open items manually in F-44 though.
Actually user wants to NOT allow to clear once payment block's set in an open items.
SAP documentation says,
"Indicator that documents which are flagged with the relevant blocking key cannot also be cleared during manual entry of incoming payments or outgoing payments.".
Can you advise me why this configuration does not work ?
Kind regards,

Payment Block O and P (block for netting ED and FE) ECC6

Dear Experts,
There are 2 payment block indicators that are unclear to us how to use them in our business processes:
1, Payment block O Block for netting ED
2. Payment block P Block for Netting FE
Can you please share your experience in what type of business processes you are using these payment blocks and are there also blocking reasons behind these payment block, like we have for payment block R
Thank you

Hi Ylee,
Three clarifications from my side in response to your process -
1) Through IMG ---> Material Management ---> Logistics Invoice Verification ---> Incoming Invoice ---> Define Mail to Purchasing When Price Variance Occur, you can be able to set up the message determination so that the related message will be automatically sent to the buyer's inbox as soon as there is any variance between PO price and invoiced amount;
2) Secondly, it is true that once change is made in the PO, the blocked invoice shall also be released through another transaction MRBR.
3) You can also technically define the small difference transaction/event key DIF for automatic posting in case of small difference.
Given your pre-defined process, I would believe that any workflow, once being activated, shall consist of three main steps -
1) The e-mail notification shall be triggered and sent to buyer as soon as there is any variance;
2) Once change is made in PO via ME22N transaction, the workflow will be then forwarded to A/P clerk (invoice creator) so as to either run MRBR transaction or manually remove the payment block indicator;
3) Once this is completed, the e-mail notification will be sent to the buyer (and other related parties, if any) confirming the successful invoice posting.

Payment block R , not stopping while payment to Vendor

While making MIRO, invoice has been blocked with 'R', but without releasing block system is accepting payment.
What might be the reason.

Hi,
Check Payment Block Indicator settings T.Code: OB27
In your case "Change in Payment Praposal", "Manual Payment Block" and "Not changable" not select check boxes.

Payment block indicators A & R

While i am going through the vendor lender open items , i came to know that for some of the KZ documents with SGL paymentsare having payment block indicator as A and some KZ normal payment documents are having R and some of the RE(invoice) docs. are having payment block indicator R.
My OB27 settings are N,P,V selected as manual payment block.
Can anybody explain in detail.

For RE Invoice documents gets blocked with "R" indicator, because Goods Receipt Date is Before the Delivery Date entered in PO.
Say for E.G., you have created a PO with Delivery date as 15.12.2008, but you receive the goods before 15.12.2008 and while doing Goods receipt you enter the date as 14.12.2008 and do the invoice for this PO, then system automatically puts "R" Block in the invoice.
Hope this Clarifies your doubt on RE

Clearing document with payment block

Hi All,
Need to ask, I have an invoice from MIRO -> payment block is = R
I also have down payment -> payment block is = A
When I do partial clearing using F-44 the system won't block me from clearing those documents.
My question is... if those documents have payment block indicator, why SAP allows them to be cleared ?
Thanks,
-M-

Hi,
the payment block key able to block manual payment means the block key will take effect when posting outgoing payment(F-53) or incoming payment(F-28). When posting the two kind of payment, you cannot clear the open items of AR/AP with this kind block key.
However, the block key cannot block the simple clearing transaction(F-44) as you said above. Therefore, the block key cannot block the business that posting payment/down payment at first, then clearing AP using F-44.
In summary, payment block key normally used for automatic payment rather than manual payment.

Default Payment Block in Invoices & Down-Payment

Hi Experts,
I want that Payment block to applied to any Invoices / Down-Payment Requests posted in that Vendor's Account.
I have assigned payment block indicator in the Vendor's Master. but still when i post a Invoice / Down-Payment Request, the Payment Block is not assigned by default.
please help me in case if i missing any config part.

Hi
If you want the Payment Block to be applied to any Invoice posted in a Vendor Master, give a Payment Term in the Vendor Master and in the Payment term give the Payment Block.
The Payment Block given in the Payment terms which is assigned in the Vendor Master will carried on to the Invoices.
Kindly check out for Down Payment requests whether it is carried or not.

Payment block with spl gl indicator wise

Hi Experts
after down payment request,
that payment should block for payment,
for this where can we do settings.
regards
venkat

Hi
Payment Request is a noted item and when you do automatic payment programme it will be picked up for payment.
Moreover when you create Down Payment Request itself, you have the option of entering payment block for that particular request.

(INVOICE) PAYMENT BLOCK DUE TO QUALITY REASON

Dear All,
We are working on QM implementation for one of our client.
The process is as follows
1.     MIGO with Mvt 103
2.     Inspection lot is generated after Mvt 103
3.     Usage decision for inspection lot. Lot accepted and moved to Unrestricted use stock (Mvt 105)
4.     MIRO w.r.to PO
Requirement: We wish to have payment block for the material. For that we have maintained Control Key for u201CInvoice Blocku201D in Quality Management view of Material Master record. So that after invoice verification, invoice document is generated but the status should be u201CBlocked for Paymentu201D.
Issue: For some of the purchase order u201CInvoice is blocked for the payment while for others invoice is not blocked for the paymentu201D. Please note that both the purchase order are identical in terms of material, vendor, pur grp, mat grp and all the possible entries.
Moreover in another case, for the same purchase order, one invoice is blocked for payment while other is not blocked for payment.

Gunjan

Hope so it helps
