SAP Note 19542 - Cancelling a bill of exchange payment request

Symptom:

When you cancel a bill of exchange payment request that was created by the payment program, the indicator from the item that was to be payed by the bill of exchange was not deleted. As a result, the items could not be processed in subsequent payment runs.

Cause and prerequisites

Constellation not supported.

Solution
Starting in Release 3.0A, the indicator will be deleted from all affected items when a bill of exchange payment request is cancelled or explicitly cleared. This also is always the case, if a pure clearing document (no line items) is created e.g. using Transaction F-32 (FB1D) or F.13 (Automatic clearing). If the clearing inlcudes an item with reference to the bill of exchange payment request, the ID is also removed from all items.
If the bill of exchange payment request is cleared because at least one selected invoice was paid, the reference will not be cancelled in the other invoices, as they could still be paid in future referring to the request for the bill of exchange payment (with a changed amount).
No advance correction possible. The number of the bill of exchange payment address can be removed from the corresponding invoices, once the request has been cancelled. To do this, simulate a bill of exchange posting in accordance with a request, as this is the fastest way to find the involved invoices. You can then select and change the invoices from the open item overview.
If you do not want to delete all identifications during clearing, the following workaround is helpful: Create a clearing rule that includes field ANFBN. To be able to do this, please implement the attached modification.
or: Create a new clearing rule (Table TFAGS) in FI Customizing for account type 'D', e.g. for field SGTXT. Change the entry in Table TFAGS using Transaction SE16. Replace SGTXT by ANFBN. Go to FI Customizing for clearing rules again and add a new field which you delete again immediately, e.g. SGTXT. When saving, the program is generated with the clearing rule for ANFBN.
After creating the clearing rule, the clearing documents always contain line items, and field ANFBN is preserved in the other items.
