Hi Willard,
You can also block the various activites of the business partner at different levels.
There can be many reasons for blocking certain activities with business partners, for example:
Your business partner has outstanding debts or goes into liquidation
You want to stop all deliveries to or from a business partner
Your business partner fails to reach agreement with you on conditions
Your business partner repeatedly issues incorrect invoices
Features
To block activities with business partners you can use different blocks, such as:
Payment block
Prevents all payments, for example, prevents payment of credit memos and rebates to a customer because of outstanding debts. You define blocking keys to specify the blocking reason and the desired reaction of the system to the block.
For information on how to proceed, see Setting a Payment Block.
Posting block
Prevents all postings to the customer or vendor account, for example, before you flag a master record for deletion.
For information on how to proceed, see Setting a Posting, Sales and Distribution, or Purchasing Block.
Sales and distribution blocks
