Hi, Hidayath,
Recomendation:
I woud like to suggest that even before or after give a solution to unblock line items for payments, you could go to the root cause of the problem: the payment block "R" is set automatically by MM when price diferences arise between MIGO (GR) and MIRO (IR).
There is various possible causes for this and also a lot of solutions for each case: rounding differences, tolerance limits exceeded, stock valuation dif., exchange rate, QM quality inspection, goods-receipt-based Invoice verification, and son.
Some of these problems have a standard solution in the MM account determination.
It is possible that solving some of differences at the origin (MM) will eliminate or drasticaly reduce the volume of line itens blocked with "R" in FI.
In this manner, with few cases in a day, the "R" block can be used as designed: each line item analysed by the Accounts Payable Dept. to solve exceptional situations.
As I see, this is the main reason to use Payment Proposal to unblock "R" - the analysis goes first.
Payment proposal unblock, mass change or even an automatic job can be used of course as alternative solutions mentioned by the expert guys above.
But these solutions need to be used very carefully once these can "hide" very big price differences or
significant problems at origin of the process - even in a case when Financial Dept. would not authorize the payment = the automatic solution can be a risk that need to be clarified first.
Best regards,
Nilton Duque.
