3803049 - House bank fields populated in vendor line item after automatic payment

Symptom

  • After executing an automatic payment run, a payment document is generated.
  • The House Bank (HBKID) and Account ID (HKTID) are populated in the bank account line as well as the vendor/open-item line.
  • The user expects the House Bank information to be populated only in the bank account line and not in the vendor line item.
  • The supplier invoice and/or supplier master may not have House Bank information maintained.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Post a supplier invoice/open item.
  2. Ensure that House Bank information is not maintained in the supplier open item or supplier master, if applicable.
  3. Maintain the required bank determination for payment processing.
  4. Execute an automatic payment proposal and payment run.
  5. Open the generated payment document.
  6. Check the vendor/open-item line.
  7. Observe that HBKID/HKTID are populated in the vendor line item.

Cause

  • This is standard system behavior.
  • During the automatic payment run, the payment program determines the House Bank and Account ID based on the configured bank determination.
  • Once the House Bank and Account ID are determined, the payment program populates HBKID/HKTID in the generated payment document, including the vendor line item.
  • This information is required for payment processing, including determination of the appropriate bank account for posting and subsequent bank statement reconciliation and payment-related processing.
  • Therefore, the population of House Bank information in the vendor/open-item line of the payment document is expected behavior.

Resolution

  • There is no standard configuration option to suppress HBKID/HKTID from the vendor line item when the House Bank and Account ID are determined during automatic payment processing.
  • If the user wants to verify or control which House Bank is selected during the payment run, review the relevant bank determination configuration: 
    Configuration Activity 101045 – Set Up Bank Determination for Payment Transactions
  • The House Bank and Account ID determined through the payment process will be reflected in the resulting payment document.

Note:

The absence of House Bank information in the supplier master or original supplier open item does not prevent HBKID/HKTID from being populated in the payment document. The payment program can determine the House Bank through the configured bank determination during payment processing.
