How to change the beneficiary name on an issued check

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Access the Accounts Payable Items Management application.
2. Search for an open item of a supplier.
3. Edit the individual item by indicating that the payment method is check.
4. Generate a single payment for that individual item.
5. Go to the Issued Checks Management application.
6. Drill down into the check, select edit, and notice that it does not allow changing the beneficiary’s name.

• It is not possible to change the beneficiary name on an issued check after the payment order is created.
• For compliance and audit integrity, SAP locks beneficiary details once a check-based payment order is created.

1. Void the existing check in the Issued Checks Management application.
2. Update the supplier master or maintain an Alternative Payee before payment execution.
3. Reissue the payment, which will generate a new check with the correct beneficiary details.
