Documentation

Definition

Checks whether the document on which a payment is based is available.

Use

If you set this indicator, the system only executes a payment if the document on which the payment is based is available and still valid. If this is not the case, the system does not execute the payment but issues a corresponding error message. The log of the payment medium program contains information about all payments that have not been executed due to payment document validation.

The following components support payment document validation:

Financial Accounting (FI)

The system checks whether the payment document has been posted and has not been reversed. For the payment methods selected, the system checks whether the corresponding payment order has been created and has not been deleted.

Note

You can schedule the payment program and the programs for creating the payment media together, using transactions F110 and F111, for example, or using program RFF110S. If you select the Payment Document Validation checkbox, the system delays the creation of payment media automatically and waits until the payment documents have been posted. If there are terminated postings, a record is entered in the log.

Payroll (PY)

When you create the payment media for the wage and salary payment, the system checks whether the underlying payroll result is present for each payment.

Comments

This check can have a detrimental effect on system performance.

If you process payment data that is not based on payroll results but has arisen through an advance payment from the master data, the Payment Document Validation indicator has no effect.

It is advisable to set the Payment Document Validation indicator if you are using the Off-Cycle Activities component and always use the option of reversing payroll results.

We recommend that you do not set the Payment Document Validation indicator if you are not using the Off-Cycle Activities component.

For more information on wage and salary payment, see SAP Library under Human Resources -> Payroll -> Payroll <Country> -> Subsequent Activities -> Wage and Salary Payments.
