Use

In Accounts Receivable you can block a customer account so that postings are no longer made to that account. You have to block a customer account before marking a customer master record for deletion, for example. You would also block a customer that you use only as an alternative dunning recipient, so that nobody can post to that customer by mistake.

Integration

If you have also implemented the Sales and Distribution (SD) application component, you can set the following blocks for a customer:

For more information, see the Sales and Distribution (SD) documentation.

Prerequisites

Only block an account if there are no more open items in the account. Otherwise, you can no longer clear the open items.

Features

This topic describes how to block a customer account centrally (for posting and order processing), and how to block an account for posting only. Whether you block centrally or for posting only, you can block the customer account in one company code or in all company codes. You can also block an account for dunning and paying.

You can cancel a customer account block at any time. To do this, simply remove the relevant indicator.
