Symptom
The Payment Block field is not included in the standard list of Substitution fields in the Manage Substitution / Validation Rules app.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
Reproducing the Issue
- Access the "Manage Substitution and Validation Rules" application.
- Navigate to the Business Context and Event related to Journal Entry Item for Rule Type Substitution.
- Attempt to define a Substitution Rule for the Payment Block field.
- Observe that the Payment Block field is not available for selection.
Cause
This is the system standard design.
According to the Help Portal, the Payment Block field is currently not included in the standard list of substitutable fields in the Manage Substitution / Validation Rules app for Journal Entry Item.
Resolution
As a workaround, set up a Validation Rule for "PaymentBlockingReason" and a Message Text Field in the Manage Substitution and Validation Rules application. Validation Rule will prevent posting if the requirement is not met, and pop up a message to remind the user to enter the corrected value.
If this does not meet the business requirement, submit a Feature Request. Follow the instructions in this KBA 2963059 - How to Submit Feature Requests for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Product
