The payment reason identifies the payment according to the regulatory reporting requirements of your bank or the local authorities. Two different codes can be sent (for example, one on credit and one debit side). You can specify the combination of the payment reason and the payment reason codes in this activity. The maximum character limit is 70 characters (35 characters for each code).

When you create an invoice, or you post a document to a business partner, you can enter the payment reason.
During the payment run, the payment reason is transferred from the invoice using the Manage Automatic Payments app and based on the mapping specified in the Map Payment Format Data configuration step, it is inserted in the payment medium.

Payment reason will be determined based on the following sequence:

1. Payment reason specified during business transaction (App Create Incoming Invoices) >> to be defined
2. Payment reason maintained in business partner company code data
3. Payment reason maintained in business partner general data

Check the mandatory settings:

Check the Help documentaion:

Enter data as follows: On the Payment Reason Definitions screen, enter a 4-character long payment reason that can be used during the payment processing to identify the payment type, and describe the payment reason, according to legal requirements in your country/region.

0001 Purchase of Goods
0002 Salary Payment
