Payment wizard-- include vendors with zero balance

Hi-
We are running SAP 8.8 pl 13.
We want to be able to include Vendors with a zero balance in the payment wizard. The scenario in question is this: we have an advance outgoing payment on account that is open. We have an open AP Invoice for the the same amount. The vendor account balance is zero, but we want to go ahead and pay the open invoice anyway.
Currently- if a vendor has a zero account balance the vendor code cannot be selected in step 3 of the payment wizard.
Is there a way to configure this?
I realize that this is counter-intuitive....
thanks
John

Hi John,
Do you mean your open advance outgoing payment on account has the same amount with open AP Invoice? However you need another payment for the invoice and still hold the advance?
Thanks,
Gordon

Exclude Vendors with Zero Balance from Payment Wizard

Hello,
When running the Payment Wizard for outgoing payments, there is no way to exclude vendors whose account balance is zero. I have tried using a default minimum payment of $.01 to no avail. I have reported to SAP Support, and it is not functionally possible. Any assistance in finding a workaround would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Happy 2008!
Mimi

Mimi,
I do not see a lot of options to avoid this. The minimum payment setting would not avoid displaying 0 balance BP's.
The only option I can think is to use BP Properties by Updating one of the BP Properties through a SQL statement and then use this property in the Selection Criteria in the Payment Wizard BP Properties Window. This way you can filter Vendor with no Balance?

How to reconcile A/P invoices on vendor with positive balance (they own us

Hi there,
I have two questions on B1.
I posted an A/P invoice to a vendor with positive balance (they own us money). How do I close this A/P invoice without outgoing payment? I don't want to pay them because they own us money on A/P G/L account.
There is another situation, I posted an A/P credit memo with large amount ($1000) and an A/P invoice with small amount ($200) on same vendor. How do I close the A/P invoice to that A/P credit memo with offset amount?
Thanks for help!
David

Hi there,
We are using B1 2005A SP1. I create an A/P invoice from a vendor which owns us money. So I don't want to pay this invoice. How do I close this invoice?
The other question is, how to I offset an open A/P invoice with small amount to an A/P credit memo created before (not linked to any other A/P invoice) with large amount and close the A/P invoice?
I am sure about the accounting rules on this issue. We are a Canadian company.
Thanks a lot

How to close AP invoice with zero balance

Customer created payment on account before creating the AP invoice. Then they created the AP invoice and applied the partial payment on account to the invoice, leaving an open balance. They created an AP credit memo for the balance. They did a BP reconciliation to link the payment on account to the ap invoice and ap credit memo which brought the balance down on the AP invoice to zero. however it still shows up as open. We cannot do a BP reconciliation because there is nothing to reconcile. BP has a zero balance. We won't be writing them another check. How do we close the zero AP invoice? This customer has 3 zero AP invoices showing up as open. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
Please check Note no. : 1301470 and see whether the detect query mentioned in the Note displays the Invoice in the question as mentioned by you here.

Single payment for Multiple vendor with Common Remit to payee

HI
2 vendors "A" and "B" maintained with common remit to payee as "X "Vendor. 2 PO created and 2 invoice created. both the invoice are open for payment. When i run automatic payment with both the vendor, can i get single payment cheque ?. Payment method for both vendor is Cheque. I have done necessary setting in vendor master for single payment.

Hi Madhavan,
Before doing the payment you should change the setting of APP.
Go to OBVU transaction
There is option 'single payment for marked item' in Grouping of items
Select that check box
Now you can pay one single payment for 2 vendors invoices
May be this information is useful to you
If you have any doubt feel free to ask

Payment proposal for vendor with multiple bank accounts

Hi there,
I'm currently dealing with payment proposals (F110) with two conditions:
1): several documents with different currencies are attached in the same payment run (one in GBP, one in USD and one in EUR)
2): several banks are defined for that vendor in the master data. We assume that that three banks are defined in the master records (one in GBP, one in USD and one in EUR)
We started developing a user exit to find a way to have the correct bank selected in depending on the document currency; it worked but only for one document-->payment is done to the right bank account even if the vendor has different bank accounts. Whenever several documents for the same vendor are included into the payment proposal, only one bank is selected out of our program, corresponding to the first document.
I wonder if there is a way for setting up a bank selection in another way.
NB: the partner bank type solution within the document is not an option as the sites (which are creating the PO) don't know about bank details and therefore don't indicate anything.
Thanks for reply!
regards,
FX

When you enter bank details in master, update field "Partner bank type" LFBK-BVTYP with free form value, may be currency is good choice.
During invoice entry, this field is available for update, update which bank to be used for payment of this invoice. You may build logic to populate this field, like substitution to populate currency in this field during invoice posting.
During payment, system checks value in field Partner bank type in invoice and selects corresponding bank.
Hope this helps.

Have a current account with zero balance...but still have my old phone...could I reactivate the old one?

Here's the deal...I have a current prepaid VZW account, but ran out of balance on it (exactly zero), but don't yet have the $$$ to refill it to make it active again. I have an old phone (same basic phone, except for older version) that is only about a year-and-a-half old. I was going to donate it to a charity or something like that, but I forgot all about it. I did the phone swap from it to my current phone a while back as well. If I reactivate the old phone, would I get the $10 bonus with a new number, and be able to use it as a temporary backup-type of phone ? Would VZW have a problem with that? It would only be a temporary situation, and would give me 60 days to try to refill the current phone. I would like to have an alternate number to use as a job contact number, and have no other number to use. Can I have two different online My Verizon accounts with the same name, address, etc. with two different phones with different numbers?

go to settings
then to store
tap your id then click sign out
then sign back in and you should be fine

Script logic not working for GL account with Zero balance

Dear Experts,
I have a scenario where the GL account balance in ECC is 0 and when a script logic runs in BPC the same should capture a closing balance as "1".
Though I have written the below logic, this is not getting executed and writing back the value as "1".
Kindly help me on the same.
*WHEN ENTITY
*IS "ABC"
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS "20300000"
*REC(EXPRESSION = 11, ACCOUNT = 20300000,FLOW = F99, ENTITY = ABC, PROFITCENTER = 130010 , INTERCO = I_NONE , CONSOSCOPE = G_NONE, CURRENCY = LC ,CATEGORY = ACTUAL, AUDITID = INPUT)
*ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT

Hello Vadim Kalinin,
Thanks for the very swift help.
Merger of the client happened in 2007. ECC is using the " 20300000- change in fair value " account to record both pre-acquisition and post-acquisition values.
Since the treatment of pre-consolidation and post consolidation reserves is different the split of the amount between pre and post-acquisition values has to be done. For the same post acquisition value is reduced from this account using a script logic as below.
WHEN FLOW
*IS "F99"
*WHEN ENTITY
*IS "ABC"
*REC(EXPRESSION = ([ACCOUNT].[20300000] -3258603),ACCOUNT = 20300000,FLOW = F99, INTERCO = I_NONE , CONSOSCOPE = G_NONE ,CURRENCY = LC ,CATEGORY = ACTUAL )
This logic worked when the account has a figure, but in July 2014 in ECC the account had a transaction and the balance has become Zero. Until this account has a figure this pre acquisition logic is not working.
For making this work, I am trying to write a new logic to make the balance of this account as "1" in BPC through the script logic.
Kindly suggest me on the same.
Regards,
Shilpa

How do I show all Groups including Groups with Zero Sums

Post Author: mchallinor
CA Forum: Formula
This is such a basic question I'm annoyed that I can't work out the answer myself!The report is very basic:"Total Sales"Grouped on Weeks of the Year. Data Report Range 01-01-2006 to 31-12-2006.The Group Summary Totals appear for all weeks where there is at least 1 sale within that Week. But if there are NO sales for a week this does not appear as a Group Summary Total. Eg:Total Sales ReportWEEK 1Group Sum Total =      £3,004WEEK 2 Group Sum Total =      £9,000WEEK 3Group Sum Total =     £1,030WEEK 5Group Sum Total =      £900Report Grand Total = £13,934There were no sales during WEEK 4 so no Group Sum appears. I need the report to look like the following:Total Sales Report WEEK 1
Group Sum Total =      £3,004
WEEK 2
Group Sum Total =      £9,000
WEEK 3
Group Sum Total =     £1,030WEEK 4
Group Sum Total =     £0
WEEK 5
Group Sum Total =      £900Report Grand Total = £13,934How do I get the Group Sum to show for all groups even if the group sum is zero.Look forward to any suggestions.

Agreed - about the best way to overcome this is to have a 'dates' table in your db which has a simple structure of one column named 'date', filled from some date in the past to xxx years in the future, incrementing by a day at a time. Ask your DB guys to add this in - it's a simple task (SQL code underneath)
If you then use this as your 'starting point' table (and link your sales data to it on the date), and group by dates.date (or use it in your formula for grouping), you'll get the 'empty' groups.
SQL CODE TO CREATE A SIMPLE DATES TABLE (-5 years from today to +5 years from today):
create table crystal_dates (mydate datetime)
declare @start datetimedeclare @end datetimedeclare @now datetimeset @start = dateadd(yy,-5,CONVERT(DATETIME,FLOOR(CONVERT(FLOAT, getdate()))))set @end = dateadd(yy,5,@start)set @now = @start
while @now <=@endbegininsert into crystal_dates values (@now)set @now = dateadd(dd,1,@now)end

Vendor Aging Report to show zero balance does not show all vendors

Hi all,
I would like to see a list of all my vendors in the Vendor Aging Report. I clicked on show vendors with zero balance, however, I still only get a partial list of the vendors. Is there a setting I need to set to show all the vendors? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Jane

Hi,
I think your requirement is you want all vendors displayed irrespective of the transactions entered for that Business Partner.
The Aging Report will display only those BPs which have transactions posted to them.
The function of 'Display Vendors with zero balance' checkbox is that it behaves like a selection creteria and leads to inclusion
of all those Business Partners who do not have a balance as of the current date but had a balance on the selected backdate.
example :
If a vendor has a balance as on 01.08.08 and is paid on 10.08.08, then the vendor will not be included in aging report (when run on 01.08.08) unless "Include Vendors with zero balance" is checked.
This checkbox does not allow you to display all the vendors created in the database.

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

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.
