This is likely an ABAP or DEV group question, but toolbox suggested Accounting, and that too is possible,
so here goes...
Is there a way from a report to CALL TRANSACTION 'FB05' and prevent the creation of a customer credit, when clearing an invoice whose payment terms code indicates a discount is allowed, but where the payment is for the full undiscounted invoice value? Vistex support does not think it is possible.

Vistex Post-Processor is what we use, but I think this could apply to any external payment advice.
A bank lockbox payment is not applied in the Pre-Processor (payment auto-clearing process), so it becomes a Payment On Account (POA).
In the Post-Processor, the payment is matched to an invoice which qualifies for a discount; however, the payment is for the full amount, not the discounted amount. The clerk zeroes out the "Discount taken" field and posts to clear the invoice with the undiscounted payment.
The Vistex program calls transaction FB05 to complete the posting. The native SAP code creates a residual credit to the customer account in the amount of the allowed discount. This is unacceptable to the business, and they are very firm on this. For one thing, discounts are often extended for a significant grace period beyond the official discount period, but as a hidden benefit, and customers are normally not so informed - it is hoped they will pay the full amount.
