Environment

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open "Manage Supplier Line Items" app.
  2. Select the expected line item.
  3. Click the "Edit Line Items" button.
  4. Change the "Payment Method" or "Baseline Date".
  5. The error "It is not possible to change Payment Method for line item XXXX/XXXXXXXXXX/XXXX/XX" or "It is not possible to change Baseline Date for line item XXXX/XXXXXXXXXX/XXXX/XX" occurs.

Cause

The special G/L indicator is not maintained for using in payment transactions.

Resolution

  1. Go to Activity/SSCUI - ID: 101293 - Set Up All Company Codes for Payment Transactions.
  2. Select the company code and input the special G/L indicator into the section "Vendors".
  3. Then change the payment method or baseline date in "Manage Supplier Line Items" app.

Note that it is not possible to maintain Special G/L indicator for bills of exchange, bill of exchange payment requests, and noted items as "Sp. G/L transaction to be paid" (with the exception of payment request (P) and down payment request (F)). When attempting to maintain those indicators, error message F3072 – "Payment is not possible for special G/L indicator" will arise. As a result, editing the payment method or baseline date for these indicators is not possible.
