Use

You can use transaction FLB1 to select and correct checks – either with the help of the lockbox number, status or batch number – that the system was unable to post automatically. For this you can use the functions from the SAP List Viewer (ALV) . For more information, see the SAP Library under Getting Started → Lists → SAP List Viewer (ALV).

Prerequisites

You must have activated SAP Enterprise Financials Extension 2.0

Features

As part of postprocessing you can branch to payment advice processing where you can change, add or delete clearing information. You can classify deductions with the help of reason codes. This lets you post a deduction as a residual item to the customer account or to a G/L account. After changing the payment advice you can resume automatic posting.

The following are some of the functions you can avail of:

Simultaneous display of several lock boxes and quick navigation between the lock boxes

Change the customer in the payment advice header

Free selection of customers, G/L accounts or vendors

Simultaneous posting of several checks

You can create dispute cases from the postprocessing of lockbox data. For this you need the SAP Dispute Management component.
