  The SAP error message 5U739 indicates that a payment is being stopped due to its remittance status being either 'Evaluated' or 'Posted to AP' (Accounts Payable). This typically occurs in the context of payment processing within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with payment runs and remittance processing.
  Cause:
  
  Remittance Status: The payment is in a status that does not allow it to be processed further. 'Evaluated' means that the payment has been assessed but not finalized, while 'Posted to AP' indicates that it has been recorded in Accounts Payable but not yet cleared for payment.
  Payment Block: There may be a payment block set on the vendor or invoice that prevents the payment from being processed.

  Solution:
  
  Check Remittance Status: Review the remittance status of the payment. If it is 'Evaluated', you may need to finalize the evaluation or change the status to allow for payment processing. If it is 'Posted to AP', ensure that the payment is ready to be processed.
  Review Payment Blocks: Check if there are any payment blocks on the vendor or invoice. If there are, you may need to remove them or resolve the underlying issues causing the block.
  Correct Data: Ensure that all required data for the payment is complete and accurate. This includes vendor information, invoice details, and payment terms.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to payment processing and remittance. They may need to adjust settings to allow for the payment to proceed.
