Message text: Activation of clearing deactivates alternative payers
You have activated clearing with vendors.
Activation of clearing with vendors suppresses the entry of the
alternative payer at document level in the payment program.
When clearing and alternative payer is used at document level at the
same time, the payment program is unable to uniquely identify the payer.
Therefore, the program does not support this. For more information, see
SAP Note 1107672.
If you want to use alternative payers in the payment program, deactivate
clearing with vendors.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
