Hi Folks,
This document will be helpful to one who is new to SAP FICO like me and want to do hands on Automatic Payment Program(APP) tcode F110.
3 concept are covered in this doc which are as below :
- General APP scenario.
- Installment payment scenario
- Multiple partial payment
with detail of check and payment advice working.
Below is my work and understanding of APP run:
Automatic Payment Program (APP):APP is a tool that will help users to manage payables.
SAP gives users the options to automatically:
1. Select Open(Pending) Invoices to be paid or collected
2. Payment Documents to be posted
3. Print Payment Media or generate EDI
The APP has been developed for both national and international payment transaction with vendors and customers, and handles both outgoing and incoming payments.
Before running APP we need to do configuration for APP.
Steps for Configuring APP are :
1. Setup payment method per country
2. Setup payment method per company code
3. Setup all company codes
4. Setup paying company code
5. Bank determination
6. Assign payment method to vendor account
Case 1: General APP scenario
Step by step process:
Step1: Go to transaction ‘FBZP’ or SPRO pathIMG -> Financial Accounting(New)->Account Receivables and Account Payable->Business Transactions->Outgoing Payments->Automatic Outgoing Payments->Payment Method/Bank Selection for Payment ProgramOr we can get below screen by running ‘F110’ and under environment ‘Maintain Config’. ![1.png]()
We get below screen ‘FBZP’ to maintain configuration for APP

Step 7:Now need to assign payment method ‘C’ for Vendor.For this go to tcode ‘FK02’, assign payment method ‘C’
Now Before APP run, we need to have a vendor open items, for that we need to create vendor invoice in transaction F-43.
![39.png]()

In the next screen type * in Amount and + in Text field it will fetch previous value automatically.

Now we can check vendor open items in tcode ‘FBL1N'
![51.png]()
![52.png]()
Step 8:Now we can go to Tcode ‘F110’, as APP Run and any 5digit alpha-numeric characters as identification.

For ZP document type NR: 20, to confirm go to tcode OBA7 or table T003
![68.png]()
OBA7
![69.png]()
Now again doing

![72.png]()
No open line items in FBL1N
![73.png]()
Note: earning account 759999 is fetched from
![74.png]()
Tcode: OBXU
![75.png]()
Case 2:Automatic payment program for vendor with Installment payment term:
For making Installment payment:
Step1:First define a payment term in OBB8 with below detail
![77.png]()
Step2: Now go to tcode: OBB9
![78.png]()
When creating vendor Invoice F-43(FB60 for multiple line):Use payment term ZTIN for installment payment![79.png]()
For Next line item
![80.png]()
Now Simulate, Shift+F9
![81.png]()
Now post,![82.png]()
FBL1N open item entry

To give check print program, assign SAPScript name in FBZP ‘Payment methods in Company code’ as below:![84.png]()
For Payment advice give sapscript name in ‘Paying company codes’ under FBZP
![85.png]()
Now go to t code F110 and Set parameters

After payment run
![90.png]()
Go to FBZ5, enter printer for check printing and advice printing

Now Print, Ctrl+P
![92.png]()
Now we can go to SP02 and check log printingOne for payment advice and one for check as we have entered printer name in both in t code FBZ5
![93.png]()
Note: We can restrict number of rows in check printing (FBZP , Payment method in Company Code)![94.png]()
If payee lines are less than installment payment line.As in below example we have Installment term ZTIN which have 3 payment term (OBB9)But Payment advice control restricted to 2 rows in Payment Method Company code ,FBZP![96.png]()
Note: Uncheck Individual Payment in Vendor Master data, if not than 3 separate payment document will be created per payment term and 3 separate checks will be printed.
![97.png]()
In FBL1N, one payment document is created![98.png]()
In FBZ5, for Doc 2000000016 only 1 check is printed and detail for line item isin advice![99.png]()
Check is not having line item details for payment,
![100.png]()
Payment advice has detail of payment as per payment term![101.png]()
If restricted to value is more than equal to installment term, in this case 5 > 3 installment terms![94.png]()
Check printing will have line item details and no need to give separate Payment advice :![103.png]()
Advice print, in this case not needed but still can be printed with line item details.![104.png]()
Case 3: Multiple Partial Payment from an invoice through APP(F110)
