In the coding block of the system you can create your own fields. The new coding fields can then be used in FI General Ledger accounts, MM Inventory Management and MM Purchasing, and are also updated in the line items created in the Controlling applications.
If you have created customer fields, they are updated by the system during automatic postings. To enable you to post these fields in the Enjoy transactions manually, you must assign the fields to the entry variants in the Enjoy posting transactions. To do this, choose Include Customer Fields in Enjoy Transactions.
Requirements
You require a test system in order to include coding fields.
The changes are recorded in the test system in a transport request and can thus be transported into other systems. To include coding fields, you require the following authorizations:
- New field inclusion in coding block X_COBLMOD
- Maintenance of cross-client tables S_TABU_CLI
- Dictionary authorization S_DEVELOP
- Transport authorization S_TRANSPRT

Process Outgoing Payment is one scenario building block in SAP Best Practices Baseline Package (U.S.). Technical name is V1C (Financial Accounting – AP – Outgoing Payment).
After receiving vendor’s invoice, the outgoing payment should be run periodically using checks or other payment methods. This activity is achieved by using the SAP payment program. The program selects open invoices and down payment requests to be for vendors based on following criterias: payment method, payment terms, selection parameters entered in the payment program.
The open items selected are presented in the form of a proposal. The proposal can be edited further to block certain open items, if required. Once the proposal is acceptable, the payment run is executed resulting in clearing the open items on the vendors account and crediting the outgoing checks bank clearing account. Checks are then printed using the print function of the payment program.
