Define Payment Block Reasons

Using payment blocking reasons, you can differentiate why invoices are to be blocked for payment.

For each block indicator, you must decide whether:

• Changes are allowed in the payment proposal.

• Documents defined with the block key are also not to be cleared during manual payment entry.

Example

If items are missing or errors are found in a delivery during the goods receipt control and the invoices should not be paid because of the missing items or errors, you can define a separate payment blocking reason for this situation.

Note

Payment blocking reasons are valid for all company codes. By using the reasons for payment blocking, you can also prevent items from being processed manually with the clearing procedures "Incoming payment" and "Outgoing payment". You define a blocking reason to do this and mark it accordingly. Such items can always be transferred or reversed.
