SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 68 - Message for DARWIN Loans (continued)

• Message number: 062

• Message text: Payment block & set for item/memo record

What causes this issue?

Items or memo records with payment blocks cannot be selected since this
otherwise leads to problems in the debit position, the update or during
clearing. A payment block can, for example, be set for an item or a
memo record if it is intended that an overdue item or an advance
payment is cleared against the outpayment amount. For this reason, a
payment block is set for such an item or memo record and cannot be
designated to be withheld again for a further outpayment.
