Automatic Population of Amount to be paid in FP05

[shah_viraj]

Hi,

In FP05, we are using selection category B, that is Document. Is it possible using standard functionality to populate the amount to be paid automatically whenever, User enters Document number and Document Category as B ?

Thanks,

Viraj

Viraj:

It may be possible with some - but that seems like you are using the transaction improperly.  FP05 is designed to be used for incoming payments sent in by customers.  It is not designed to be be used real-time with customers.  In that manner, I dont understand why you would not already know how much they are paying.

William, indeed it is designed to be used for incoming payments. But in our scenario, most of the time, incoming payment and receivable amount is same. So, to avoid human error in entering payment amount manually I would like to populate it automatically.

Why not use cash desk then?  If agent is entering and wants to use document number.  That transaction is designed to provide feedback to the user.  Populating the value in FP05 will create the opposite problem - wrong payment amounts entered because the user no longer enters it manually.

Thanks William. Will go for cash desk.
