Symptom
SEPA Mandates were created wrongly in the system. You now need to change the mandate type in order to send the correct files to your bank. You try to change the data in the Corporate Account Master Data, and via Migration Template, but it was not possible.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Receivables work center.
- Customer Accounts view.
- Select customer account for which the SEPA mandate is to be changed - Click on the name to open Corporate Account.
- Click View all.
- Go to the Financial Data tab and Payment Data sub-tab.
- In SEPA Mandates area, press Edit.
In the SEPA Mandate screen, the Mandate Type field is greyed out.
Cause
It is not allowed to change the Mandate Type field in any case; neither in the SEPA Mandate screen of the Corporate Account nor via Mass Change using Data Migration and Mass Data Maintenance.
Resolution
You can either block this Active mandate and create a new one. Or you can copy the Active mandate and change the Mandate Type in the new one and then block the previous, incorrect mandate.
