Symptom
Need a method to block Customer or Vendor automatically when creating Customer or Vendor.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
Resolution
The system does not currently support place the Customer or Vendor in a blocked status automatically.
Alternatively, there is an alternative method to control the sensitive fields. It is available to specify for which fields of the vendor/customer master records the dual control principle applies. If a field is defined in the customer/vendor master record as "sensitive", the corresponding customer/vendor account is blocked for the payment run if the entry is changed. The block is removed when a second person with authorization checks the change and confirms or rejects it.

Documentation:
If the function to block the customer or vendor when creation is still needed, it is needed to create a feature request to SAP. Refer to SAP Note 2963059 - How to Submit Feature Requests for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Product.
