• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >4607 - Item indicator &1 is hidden from payment list ?

  The SAP error message 4607 ("Item indicator &1 is hidden from payment list") typically occurs in the context of payment processing in SAP, particularly when dealing with payment runs or payment proposals. This error indicates that the item with the specified indicator is not eligible to be included in the payment list due to its configuration or status.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  Item Indicator Configuration: The item indicator (e.g., invoice, credit memo) is configured in such a way that it is not allowed to be processed in the payment run. This could be due to settings in the payment terms or payment methods.
  
  
  Payment Block: The item may have a payment block set, which prevents it from being included in the payment list.
  
  
  Document Status: The document associated with the item may be in a status that does not allow it to be processed for payment (e.g., it may be marked as cleared or already paid).
  
  
  Custom Settings: Custom configurations or user exits may also affect which items are included in the payment list.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Item Indicator Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the item indicator in the SAP system. You can check the settings in the transaction code OBPM1 (for payment methods) or OBB2 (for payment terms).
  Ensure that the item indicator is set to allow payments.
  
  
  
  Review Payment Blocks:
  
  Check if there are any payment blocks set on the document. You can do this by reviewing the document in transaction FB03 (Display Document) and looking at the payment block field.
  
  
  
  Document Status:
  
  Verify the status of the document associated with the item. Ensure that it is not cleared or in a status that prevents payment.
  
  
  
  Adjust Payment Proposal:
  
  If you are using a payment proposal, you may need to adjust the selection criteria or manually include the items that are being excluded.
  
  
  
  Consult with Configuration Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration settings, consult with your SAP configuration team or a functional consultant who can provide insights into the specific settings for your organization.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Logic:
  
  If there are any custom developments or user exits that might affect payment processing, review those to ensure they are not causing the issue.
