C_TS4FI Financial Accounting Practice Question
During a payment run in SAP S/4HANA Financial Accounting, a vendor invoice is not selected for payment. The invoice has a due date of March 30, and the payment run is executed on March 25. The vendor master has a payment block set. What is the most likely reason the invoice was not included?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is focusing on the due date or payment method, when a payment block in the vendor master is a hard stop for payment selection.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The vendor master has a payment block, preventing the invoice from being selected.
A payment block in the vendor master prevents the vendor's invoices from being selected in a payment run. Even if the invoice is due, the block takes precedence. The due date and payment method are secondary factors, but the block is the definitive reason for exclusion.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The vendor master has a payment block, preventing the invoice from being selected.
Why this is correct
A payment block in the vendor master prevents any payments to that vendor from being processed in a payment run. Even if the invoice is due, the block overrides the due date and excludes the invoice from the run. This is the most likely reason.
- ✗
The invoice has not been posted to the vendor account yet.
Why it's wrong here
If the invoice were not posted, it would not appear in the payment run at all. The scenario implies the invoice is posted, as it has a due date. The payment block in the vendor master is the likely cause.
- ✗
The payment run parameters do not include the vendor's payment method.
Why it's wrong here
The payment method is typically determined by the vendor master and the payment run parameters. If the payment method is not included, the invoice would not be selected. However, the presence of a payment block is a more direct and common reason for exclusion.
- ✗
The invoice is not due yet, as the due date is after the payment run date.
Why it's wrong here
The payment run date is March 25, and the due date is March 30, so the invoice is not yet due. However, payment runs typically consider invoices due up to a certain number of days in the future (the 'next payment date' parameter). The payment block is a more definitive reason for exclusion.
