Symptom
Error "Enter a payment method for outgoing payments" or "Enter a payment method for incoming payments" comes up during reallocation of proposal in 'Manage Automatic Payments' App.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Enter App 'Manage Automatic Payments'.
- Create and schedule Proposal.
- In 'Revise Payment Proposals' under Exception select the item you want to reallocate.
- 'Reallocate Items' window pops up.
- Select 'Create New Payment' and enter payment method.
- Error comes up: 'Enter a payment method for outgoing payments' or 'Enter a payment method for incoming payments'
Cause
When reallocating items, changes in the +/- sign of the payment amount may invalidate the payment method initially defined.
Customizing in SSCUI / Activity 101972 'Set up payment methods each country/region', 'Payment method for' is not in line with the credit/debit balance of the item(s) to be reallocated.
Resolution
Check 'Payment method for' in SSCUI / Activity 101972 'Set up payment methods each country/region' if it is for
- Outgoing Payments or
- Incoming Payments
If the total balance is in credit, it is representing an outgoing payment. The payment method should be set for "Outgoing Payments" otherwise error comes up. And vice versa.
If the total balance is in debit, it is representing an incoming payment. The payment method should be set for "Incoming Payments".
