The user wants to print a check for a vendor down payment. To use T-code F-58, the system needs an open item. When the user makes an advance payment, there will not be any open items in the vendor account.

Executing transaction code FCHU

Transaction code F-58 is used to process payment for existing open items. This transaction code can't be used for processing advance payments. You have two options to handle this situation: (1) create an advance payment request and pay through an APP or (2) create an advance payment document through transaction code F-48 and print a check through transaction code FBZ5. Here are the steps for both options:

Option 1:
1. Create a down payment request through transaction code F-47.
2. Run the payment program through transaction code F110

Option 2:
1. Use transaction code F-48 for advance payment to vendors.
2. Based on the posted document number, print a check using transaction code FBZ5

The client needs to update a reference field in the header of a payment document with the check number generated by the system. Is there any way to update the payment document with the check number?

Normally, you follow this process when you have issued a check that is written outside of the SAP solution. To maintain the check register, you have to update the payment document with check numbers. You can achieve this through transaction code FCHU, which will update the payment document with check information. Follow these steps:
1. Go to transaction code FCHU.
2. Fill out the company code, house bank, and account ID areas and give the check number and payment document number for which you want to update the check number.
3. Now, in the Target field selection of the check number section, select the field on which you want to update the check number.
4. Then execute.
