Deleting Payment Orders 

Use

You can delete both individual payment orders that are subject to release and collective payment orders that are subject to release.

Prerequisites

You can only delete a payment order if it meets the following requirements:

·        It may not have been posted yet.

·        Its status is In Release.

Orders can have the status In Release because the system triggered a release workflow when checking the release relevance during the posting of the payment order. For more information about releasing payment orders and the release process in general, see section Release Object PAOR (Payment Order) in the SAP Library.

Payment orders that have already been posted or released can be reversed, but not deleted. For more information, see section Reversing Payment Orders in the SAP Library.

Procedure

...

       1.      On the SAP Easy Access screen choose Account Management ® Payment Transaction Orders ® Payment Order ® Delete Payment Order.

       2.      Specify the payment transaction area and the (collective) payment order number.

If you wish to delete another payment order, but do not know the order number, you can search for the payment order by choosing Payment Order ® List. You can restrict the selection of the payment orders you require according to:

§         The account identification data (such as account number and name of account holder)

§         The order data (payment method and medium, as well as payment transaction area and payment order number)

§         The posting process from which the payment orders resulted (for example, payment order entered in the dialog)

§         The status, though note that status In Release is preset. You cannot restrict your selection using any other status.

You can choose Edit ® Dynamic Selections  to use additional, extensive search criteria. Select the search criteria you require and choose Copy Selected.

       3.      This brings you either directly to the detail view of the payment order, or an overview of all payment orders corresponding to your selection criteria. In the overview choose any line of the payment order you wish to delete by double-clicking. This brings you to the detail view of the payment order you want to delete.

       4.      Choose Payment Order ® Delete.

Result

The system completely deletes the payment order from the database and ends the release workflow.
