Symptom
Customer wants to check number and no payment batch creation when running a check payment process
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
Missing functionality. Not complete achievable.
Resolution
In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, check number generation is tightly coupled to the payment medium creation process.
The function module FI_CHECK_NUMBER_GET is executed during file creation, and if a check lot is configured for the combination of paying company code, house bank, account ID, and payment method, the check number is drawn automatically at that point.
Manage Automatic Payments automatically generates payment media with every execution there is no option to enable or disable payment media creation for specific runs, and this behavior is by design.
For reduced batch overhead, it is suggested to use Create Single Payment or manual clearing via Clear Outgoing Payments.
