Follow-up Activities for the Payment Run

The payment proposal created by the system will be edited and completed by you in this demo, so that the payment run can be started.

On the main SAP R/3 screen, select Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® Accounts payables.

On the Accounts Payable screen, select Period. processing ® Payments.

On the Automatic Payment Transactions: Status screen, enter the following data:

Field	Europe	North America
Run date	current day	current day

Confirm your entries by selecting Enter.

The system displays the following message: Parameters were entered and Payment proposal was created.

Therefore select Edit Proposal.

Confirm the following dialog-box with Enter.

On the Edit Payment Proposal: Payments screen, the system displays all items relevant for this payment proposal. The lines with the exceptions can be edited by double-clicking on the line.

You reach the Edit Payment Proposal: Open Items screen. Here you can see all documents for which exceptions exist. Once again, you have to double-click on the individual document lines to finally decide whether to pay the item or not.

In the Change Line Item dialog-box, the system provides 2 opportunities. This is why this item is displayed within the exceptions. This item is either blocked for payment or the system did not find a valid payment method.

If a payment block R (invoice verification) or A (blocked for payment) has been set, you can delete it by simply deleting the letter in the field Payment block.

If the system could not detect a valid payment method for this item, you have to select New assignment.

Enter the following data in the dialog-box:

Field	Europe	North America
Payment method	S(Check) / T(Bank Transfer)	S(Ceck)/T(Bank Transfer)
House bank	1000 / 1000	3000/3000^

Select Enter, to confirm your entries.

The item changed by you is now marked with a color.

Select Save and return to the Edit Payment Proposal: Payments screen. Now, you would have to process all items in the described order. For this skript, however, this is sufficient.

Return to the Automatic Payment Transactions: Status screen.

You can now see that your payment proposal was edited.

If you, in addition, want to run the payment run, select Schedule payment run.

On the Automatic Payment Transactions: Status screen, enter the following data:

Field	Europe	North America
Start immediately	X	X

This triggers the job which posts the payment run. Confirm your entries by selecting Enter.

Select the tab page Status several time until the system displays the message Posting Order XX completed and Payment run completed.

Select Edit à Payment à Display log, to display the log of the payment run posted.

The system displays each individual item with the corresponding posting documents. You can recognize the various accounts that was posted to. You can also detect whether an account was taken and which payment method was used for the item.
