    SAP Error Message: W0CSRS034 - Maintain 'Manual Payment Block'


    Cause:

    This message typically appears when you are trying to process a payment or post a document in SAP, and the system detects that a Manual Payment Block has been set on the invoice or document. The manual payment block prevents the payment run or posting from proceeding until the block is removed or addressed.

    The manual payment block is usually set to prevent payment due to various reasons such as:

    • Discrepancies in the invoice.
    • Pending approval or verification.
    • Disputes or quality issues.
    • Internal control requirements.

    Explanation:

    • The system is informing you that the document you are trying to pay or process has a manual payment block.
    • This block must be reviewed and removed if payment is to proceed.
    • The block is maintained in the document header or line item level depending on the transaction.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Payment Block:

      • Go to the invoice or document in question.
      • Use transaction codes such as:
        • FB03 (Display Document)
        • FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display)
        • MIRO (Enter Incoming Invoice)
      • Look for the field Manual Payment Block (usually found in the header or item details).
    2. Remove or Adjust the Payment Block:

      • If you have authorization, remove the manual payment block.
      • This can be done in:
        • Vendor invoice (MIRO) or
        • Vendor master data (transaction FK02) if the block is at vendor level.
      • Alternatively, use transaction F-44 (Clear Vendor) or F110 (Automatic Payment Run) and check the payment block status.
    3. Verify the Reason for the Block:

      • Confirm with the responsible department why the block was set.
      • Ensure all issues (disputes, approvals, discrepancies) are resolved before removing the block.
    4. Re-run the Payment:

      • After removing the block, re-run the payment process or posting.

    Related Information:

    • Manual Payment Block Field:

      • In vendor invoices, the manual payment block is often found in the Payment tab.
      • In vendor master data, it can be set in the Payment Transactions tab.
    • Automatic vs Manual Payment Block:

      • Manual blocks are set by users.
      • Automatic blocks are set by the system based on certain criteria (e.g., invoice amount, payment terms).
    • Transaction Codes:

      • F110 - Automatic Payment Run
      • FB03 - Display Document
      • FBL1N - Vendor Line Item Display
      • MIRO - Enter Incoming Invoice
      • FK02 - Change Vendor Master Data
    • Authorization:

      • Only users with appropriate authorization can remove manual payment blocks.
