Background documentationReversing Postdated Checks

 

You can reverse payment documents from the check lot using reversal transaction FP08 (on the SAP Easy Access screen under Start of the navigation path Document Next navigation step Reverse End of the navigation path). This should only be necessary if the check lot or account statement was entered twice by mistake. In that case, you can enter a reason for voiding the check on the initial screen of transaction FP08. The system enters this reason in the check.

All other postings related to postdated checks can only be reversed in transaction FPPDC8 (reversal processes). The following scenarios are supported:

  • A check deposit was posted in error, and the deposit was not actually made. That means the check remains in your possession and was not deposited with the bank. In that case you can reverse the check deposit. Following the reversal, the check again has status New.

  • A check transfer was posted in error, and the transfer was not actually made. That means that the check was not transferred for a different use in another department. In that case you can reverse the transfer. Following the reversal, the check again has status New.

  • A check was transferred. The check was used in an outgoing payment, but the payment document (in Financial Accounting) had to be reversed, because it was discovered that the check was not covered. In that case, you can reverse the transfer as well as the payment document that was used to clear the customer receivables. The check had no value; both the customer receivable and the vendor payable are open again and have to be cleared in some other way.
