- Change in Pmnt prop (change in payment proposal)
- Manual Payments Block
- Not Changeable
If you set the first indicator then reasons for blocking can be set when payment proposal run on SAP. If it is not set then blocking reason can not be set and can not be removed when a payment proposal is processed in SAP.
If the second indicator is set then document will not be allowed even while clearing through manual payment entry.
If you set the third indicator then use can not modify the payment block.
You can create your own reason by selecting “New entries” or an existing reason can be copied and modifies according to your choice.
