Symptom

For advice type is Bank Debit Advice, Payment Method is Wire transfer or Bank Transfer, if Posting Advice is ticked, system will pop up error:

Payment method Wire Transfer not permitted for debit advices;

Payment method Bank Transfer not permitted for debit advices.

 

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to Liquidity Management work center.
  2. Go to Bank Payment Advice views.
  3. Click New
  4. Click Bank Payment Advice, input Company, Payer/Payee ID, advice type select Bank Credit Advice, Payment Method select Wire transfer or Bank Transfer, then tick Posting Advice.
  5. System will pop up the error message: Payment method Wire Transfer not permitted for debit advices or Payment method Bank Transfer not permitted for debit advices.

    Cause

      There is logic in the backend of the system to not allow Bank Transfers for posting advices.

      The list of the payment methods only gets generated when the type of advice is selected.

      Because of this it is possible that the list for the old type remains until posting advice is ticked.

      Even if system updated into having a debit advice and a bank transfer/wire transfer as method, but it will have an error message if you post it.

       

      Resolution

        This is expected behavior. The Bank Transfer is not permitted for debit advices. 

        for credit advices, only select bank transfer/wire transfer.

        for debit advices, only select direct debit.

        To enable direct debit, follow below steps: 

        1. Go to the Business Configuration Work Center.
        2. Select Implementation Projects.
        3. Click on Edit Project Scope.
        4. Click on Next until you reach 4 Questions.
        5. Now Select the Scoping Element Cash Flow Management, Payment and Liquidity Management, Payment Methods.
        6. Tick the box related to the question Do you want to use direct debit to receive payments from your customers?
        7. Now click on Finish to validate the change.
