Symptom
You get the waring message as Proposal discarded in the application log of automatic payment run for Paybles.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Payables work center.
- Go to Payment Runs view.
- Select a payment run and open the application log of the execution.
- In the Results, you see this warning of a supplier account.
- Expand the warning, there are two or more invoices listed with open amount. The invoices should have positive amount and negative amount. That is, some are waiting for incoming payment, while others are waiting for outgoing payments.
Cause
- In this case, the supplier is an account as well. There are supplier invoices and customer invoices in the open item of this business partner.
- You can verify with below steps:
- Go to Payables work center.
- Go to Supplier Accounts view.
- Select the supplier account and select view, then you can see these open supplier invoices there.
- Go to Receivables work center.
- Go to Customer Accounts view.
- Select the same account and select view, then you can see these open customer invoices.
- The warning means payment is not created because there are both invoices on the Supplier and Customer sides.
- The resultant payment to be created will be a Receivable. Payment Method maintained in this case is Bank Transfer.
- The system cannot generate an incoming bank transfer. Such payments appear in the Bank Statement directly once the payment arrives in the bank account. So the payment run does not create the payment.
Resolution
User needs to manually clear these invoices.
