3526724 - Payment block in Maintain Business Partner

Symptom

The payment block is maintained under Vendor: General Data, but the payment can still be processed in app 'Manage Automatic Payments'.

"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental." 

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to "Maintain Business Partner" app.
  2. Open the Business Partner.
  3. Change Display in BP role to Supplier (Fin.Accounting).
  4. Navigate to Vendor: General Data.
  5. Set Payment Block (LFA1-SPERZ).

Cause

  • The payment block is maintained under app "Maintain Business Partner" -> "Supplier (Fin.Accounting)" -> "Vendor: General Data" does not work. 
  • The field was included in table structure but never implemented in standard SAP payment processing logic as block cannot be company code independent.

Resolution

Set the payment block at the Company Code Level -> "Vendor: Payment Transactions" -> "Payment Block(LFB1-ZAHLS)".
