Adjust Note to Payee

In this activity you can use Customizing and/or function modules to change a note to payee.

Use

The note to payee that you configure in Customizing is made up of four line types.
The most important of these is type 1. This consists of the usual note to payee lines, as well as sub-types 5 and 6.
Type 6 controls whether control levels are to be created with the selected header in the various company codes that are settled with this payment.
Type 5 specifies whether a text for the alternative payee - if one exists - is to be created as a header for the whole note to payee.
Note to payee line types 2 and 3 specify the internal and external references respectively.
Under type 4, you specify what sort of note to payee is to be created if the spacedefined by the format is not sufficient and a payment advice note is created.

Example

You can change an existing note to payee via Customizing by including other text symbols. You can display the available symbols using possible entries.

You can use function modules to include additional logic which allows you to produce a different note to payee dependent on certain entries.

Recommendation

You can generally use the notes to payee provided by SAP. You should only make changes if these notes to payee do not meet your requirements.
It is possible to test an existing or newly-created note to payee. To do so, select Preview in Customizing for the note to payee layout. After entering the format you intend to use, you can use this preview function to determine whether enough space is provided by this format.
