Process Payment Order Lot
Application component: Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable
App type: SAP GUI
Key features:  The payment program can create payment orders instead of posting a payment document. The items within a payment order are marked for the period between the execution of the payment run and the processing of the account statement such that payment using a new payment run is prevented, and so that other clearing transactions, reversal, dunning, and overdue interest calculation are not possible. Payment orders consist of header data and item data. The paying company code, the payment amount, the payment method, the house bank account and other payment-relevant information are stored in the header data. A separate record is created in the item data for every paid line item. In addition to the line item key, this record contains the gross amount, the deduction for cash discount and the withholding tax amount. You can enter payment orders in different currencies and with different exchange rates in one payment order lot. Every payment order automatically receives a number that is unique within a client. The number for the payment order is retained on the payment form in the data medium. This number takes the place of the payment document number that is recorded during immediate posting of the payment by the payment program. The number for the payment order is also recorded in the account statement of the house bank. This enables you to quickly and clearly select paid items. The payment orders reported in the account statement are collected in a payment order lot. This is comparable to a payment lot (for incoming bank transfers, for example). You can create payment order lots manually as well as automatically. Each executed payment order creates an item in the payment order lot. Each item contains the payment amount and the payment order number. If the associated open items were cleared when posting the payment order lot, the payment order is marked as complete. Even if the payment amount is less than the amount entered in the payment order, you can process the payment order lot automatically. However, the following limitations apply for the automatic partial clearing of payment orders:  The system is only allowed to distribute the payment amount to the items contained in the payment order.  You have configured clearing control, so that no new items on account are created due to a partial clearing.  The system can only process partial payments, not overpayments.  The payment document of a partially cleared payment order is only allowed to be reversed using reversal method 1 by new offsetting items. The payment order itself remains unchanged when this type of reversal is used.Note After the reversal, you have to create a new payment order, in which you include both the new offsetting items created by reversal method 1 and the items of the original payment order that have not yet been cleared.   The system distributes the payment amount based on the rules entered in clearing control on the items belonging to the payment order. The payment order itself receives the status Executed. If you display a partially paid payment order (in the SAP Easy Access screen under Payments  Payment Run, transaction FPOR3), the system displays the actual payment amount.
