 Generation of Payment Order Numbers

Use

By law, each payment order must show a payment order number. When you print out a payment order, SAP R/3 generate a number automatically.

Features

When you print out a payment order using the payment program, SAP R/3 uses the last six digits of the payment document number as the payment order number.

The program J_3RFZKR, which does not generate any payment documents, uses the invoice document number as the payment order number.

Note Note

If the accounting document number (payment or invoice) ends in six zeros (000000), SAP R/3 sets the payment order number to 000001 instead. The law requires you to start numbering payment orders at number 000001, not 000000.

End of the note.

Example

You have three invoices from Volga Stationery Company. You generate a payment order to pay the invoices, using the payment program.

The program:

  1. Generates a payment document with the accounting document number 5000049985

  2. Prints out a payment order with the payment order number 049985
