Enter Payment Request with Reference (SAP Library)

Enter Payment Request with Reference

In the SAP menu, choose Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® Funds Management ® Posting ® Request ® <Type of payment request > ® Enter.

If, for example, you want to enter a payment request, enter Payment request for the type of payment request.

Choose Requests ® Copy reference.
The system offers you two reference options:

You refer to a single document of a request.

In this case you enter the FI document number in the field document number.

You refer to a request as a whole.

In this case you enter the request document number in the field Reference Request.

In each case you must also enter the fiscal year and the company code.

Enter the header data:

Choose Continue.

In the following screen the system displays the data of the reference document, which you can change according to your requirements.

With Request ® Save complete, you save the payment request.

Note

If you do not want to transfer the G/L account number or the data of the payer from the reference request, then the program derives this data automatically: The G/L account due to the assignment from FM account to G/L account, which you have entered in Customizing; the payer data from the customer or vendor master record. However, this derived data only appears in the dialogue box after it has been processed by the program.

Result

The system saves a parked FI document and issues a message containing the request number.

Note

If lines were automatically generated by the program (e.g. for tax-relevant accounting transactions), these are not transferred to the document, which is to be newly entered.
