3734648 - Payment block "R" remains after approval of supplier down payment request

Symptom

After approval of a supplier down payment request, documents are posted but not released for payment because payment block "R" remains on the items and must be removed manually.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create supplier down payment requests in the app Verify Supplier Down Payment Requests.
  2. Send the down payment requests for approval.
  3. After approval, observe that documents are posted but not released for payment.
  4. Note that payment block "R" is set on the items.
  5. Manually remove the payment block to proceed with payment.

Cause

Tolerance key AN is active in SSCUI 101947 - Set Tolerance Limits, which applies a payment block "R" to invoices without purchase order reference (for example, postings directly to G/L accounts).

Resolution

  1. Review configuration in SSCUI 101947 - Set Tolerance Limits and set tolerance key AN to "Do Not Check" if you do not intend to block invoices without a purchase order reference.
  2. If configuration changes are not desired, manually remove payment block "R" from affected items before payment.
