  Changing Promises to Pay

Procedure

If only the data required for the direct debit or debit memo is changed in a promise to pay, the promise is retained. The status before the change is documented in a history management. Proceed as follows:

  1. From the SAP menu, choose Start of the navigation path Account Next navigation step Promise to Pay Next navigation step Edit End of the navigation path .

  2. Enter the business partner whose promise to pay you want to change and the company code (where necessary) and choose Continue .

  3. Choose the button Change Payment Data.

  4. Enter the changed data and save your entries.

If you want to change the installments or the items involved in a promise to pay, you have to create a new promise. The "old" promise has no reference to the new promise. Since the changes can be complicated (include new items or remove items, change due amounts and dates), no change documents are created or displayed that show the old and new data. Instead, the data of the old promise to pay is stored historically so that you can display the old status at any time.

Proceed as follows:

  1. From the SAP menu, choose Start of the navigation path Account Next navigation step Promise to Pay Next navigation step Edit End of the navigation path .

  2. Enter the business partner whose promise to pay you want to change and the company code (where necessary) and choose Continue .

  3. Choose Replace Promise.

  4. Enter the changed data and save your entries.

The replacement of a promise can be seen as a combination of Withdraw Promise to Pay and Create Promise to Pay. However, when a promise is replaced, the creditworthiness is not updated, even if the withdrawal reason would normally require an update.
