3360520 - Payment File Creation Based on A Custom Payment File Structure Is Stuck in Status In File Creation

Symptom

Payment outbound file stuck in status 'In File Creation'.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Liquidity Management - Outbound Files work center view.
  2. Find file ID AAA (AAA is the File ID) with status 'In File Creation'.

The file has been created since several hours, but its status does not change from 'In File Creation'. This file is stuck.

Cause

The issue with the payment file occurs due to a Constant that has been maintained for the respective Payment File Structure.

This Constant has a length of hundreds of characters, which makes the total number of characters in the file larger than what is allowed, causing the issue.

Resolution

Substantially reduce the number of characters for the Constant field (for example, to 10 characters) in the respective Payment File Structure, save the changes and proceed with payment file creation again.
