3567525 - Error in Payment Execution for Advance Payment Document in SAP Business ByDesign

Symptom

An issue occurs in SAP Business ByDesign where an advance payment document with an open status and a valid due date does not appear in the payment proposal during payment execution, despite being marked as open in the supplier account monitor.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to Payables > Supplier Accounts.
  2. Select the relevant supplier.
  3. Open the Monitor Supplier Account view.
  4. Locate the advance payment document with the relevant reference ID.
  5. Confirm that the due date is within the expected range and the document status is marked as Open.
  6. Go to Payables > Payment Management > Payment Runs.
  7. Select an existing Payment Run or create a new one.
  8. Define the selection criteria with required parameters
  9. Execute the payment proposal and verify if the advance payment document appears in the results.

Cause

The advance payment document has already been processed and cleared through a clearing document linked to a down payment request. Once a document is marked as cleared, it is no longer treated as an open item in the system and is therefore excluded from future payment proposals, regardless of its due date.

Resolution

The advance payment document is excluded from the payment proposal because it has already been cleared in a previous transaction. This is standard system behavior in SAP to prevent duplicate payments by ensuring that cleared items are not included in future payment proposals.
