Defining Payment Block Reasons<br />

Chapter 14 ■ Defining FI Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable<br />

When defining reasons for blocking payments, there are a few specifications you need to consider. You can<br />

specify whether payment blocks can be changed in payment proposals or during manual payment. You can<br />

also specify whether documents defined with block keys can be cleared during manual payment processing<br />

or if changes are not allowed.<br />

The reasons you define in this exercise allow you to differentiate why invoices are not to be paid.<br />

Standard block reasons are supplied by SAP, which you can use if you do not want to define your own.<br />

Payment block reasons are valid for all company codes. This means all company codes within the client<br />

or in the system can use the payment block reasons in the system without having to define payment block<br />

reasons that are company code specific. When customizing payment block reasons, you need to update the<br />

following fields:<br />

Block Ind.: This is a block indicator key that is defined with a one-digit character<br />

key. This key contains reasons for blocking payments. It’s entered in a document<br />

to block an invoice from being paid for a specified reason.<br />

Description: Enter a short description stating why this payment is being blocked.<br />

Block Indicators: Allows you to specify how you want the payment block reason<br />

you defined to function. You have three options to choose from:<br />

Change in Payment Proposal: When you want changes to be carried out<br />

during the payment proposal. It is possible to remove a payment block when<br />

processing the payment proposal, but when you set this proposal, changes<br />

cannot be made during payment proposal processing.<br />

Manual Payment Block: If you do not want documents assigned with a block<br />

key to be cleared during manual payment clearing, then choose this option.<br />

Not Changeable: Changes cannot be made during payment proposal<br />

processing or during manual payment.<br />

To define the payment block reasons, follow this menu path: IMG: Financial Accounting (New) ➤<br />

Account Receivable and Accounts Payable ➤ Business Transaction ➤ Outgoing Payments ➤ Outgoing<br />

Payments Global Settings ➤ Payment Block Reasons ➤ Define Payment Block Reasons. Or you can use<br />

transaction code OB27.<br />

The Change View Payment Block Reasons Overview screen appears containing the list of previously<br />

defined payment block reasons. To define your own payment block reasons, click the<br />

button on<br />

the top-left side of the screen to go to the New Entries: Overview of Added Entries screen (Figure 14-17),<br />

where you define your block reasons.<br />
