How do I remove an ‘A’ Payment Block after a stop payment is requested on a cheque or draft?

When a stop payment is requested on a cheque or draft, and the payment instructions are ‘CHANGES REQUIRED–RE-ISSUE’, Accounts Payable will place an ‘A’ Payment Block on the original document in FIS and the Department will be notified to proceed with the necessary changes.

To re-issue payment, make the required change, and remove the payment block via FB02 – Change Invoice Document:

• Double-click the vendor line item (line item 1)
• If an OTA vendor was used, click ‘enter’ to proceed to the Display Document: Line Item 001 screen
• Remove the ‘A’ Block (Blank = Free for payment)
• Save changes
