Symptom
Encounter the error message "Only combination of reason code with payment differences supported" when posting payments in the Post Incoming Payments app.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
Reproducing the Issue
- Create payment in Post Incoming Payments app.
- Select open items for payment and enter a Reason code.
- Simulate or Post.
- Observe that the error "Only combination of reason code with payment differences supported" is raised.
Cause
According to Reason Codes, the purpose of maintaining a Reason code in the payment is to answer why payment differences should be posted. Therefore, a reason code is only needed in the payment when a payment difference exists.
Resolution
- Update the field status group of the G/L account used for incoming payment clearing to set Reason Code as Optional entry (not Required) when posting full payments without differences.
- When posting the full receivable amount from open items (no difference), the reason code is not relevant.
