1. Open Receivables Work Center
2. Go to Customers - Customer Accounts and select the Customer Account XYZ
3. Click on View - View All
4. Navigate to the Financial Data - Payment Data tab
5. You see that a Payment Block has been maintained with a Payment Block Expire Date earlier than the execution date of the Payment Run

To avoid that payments are unintentionally created and posted, because a user forgot to extend the expiry date of the payment block, the payment block will even be considered when the expiry date is earlier than the execution date of the run.

This is the expected system behaviour.

To have payments for customer XYZ considered for payments the row with the payment block has to be deleted from the customer's account:

1. Open Receivables Work Center.
2. Go to Customers - Customer Account and select the Customer Account XYZ.
3. Click on View - View All.
4. Navigate to the tab Financial Data - Payment Data.
5. Select the row containing the Payment Block and remove the Payment Block Reason. 
6. You will see that the Expiry Date also disappears.
7. Click on Remove button to delete the row.
8. Confirm with Save.

If there are already postings for this customer and company, you cannot delete the row. In this case, you will delete only the Payment Block Reason (Expiry Date disappears automatically) and will save the changes.
