Changing Payment Orders 

Use

You can change individual and collective standing orders that are subject to release.

Prerequisites

You can only change 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 about the release process in general, see section Release Object PAOR (Payment Order) in the SAP Library.

You cannot change the name of the ordering party. If you wish to make this change, you must delete the payment order in question and recreate it.

Procedure

...

       1.      From the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Account Management ® Payment Transaction Orders ®Payment Order ® Change Payment Order.

You can also change a payment order that is subject to release using the change function in the SAP Business Workplace, provided you are assigned to this work item as processor/agent. To do this, go directly from the initial menu to the SAP Business Workplace and choose Inbox ® Workflow. For more information, see the Release Object PAOR (Payment Order) section of the SAP Library.

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

If you wish to change 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.

If you choose Edit ® Dynamic Selections you also have the option of using 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 change by double-clicking. This brings you to the detail view of the payment order you want to change.

       4.      Enter your changes.

       5.      Choose Payment Order ® Simulate if you want the system to post the changed payment order in a test run.

Result

The system saves the changes you have made for the payment order in question and triggers the posting process with the changed data, in conjunction with the release process. Depending on the result of the posting, the payment order gets a new status.

If you choose Simulate, the system simulates posting of the payment order in a test run. In this case, the status of the payment order does not change.
