Praveen,
Neither manual payments nor automatic payment processing (APP) have a function to warn you of payments being executed before they are due. If you wish to have this functionality, you will have to write a custom modification.
What is the reason for your requirement? Is it (1) to prevent user error or (2) to prevent deliberate early payment?
If (1), then your best solution is to use automatic payment processing. If you enter the "next payment run" parameter as the next day, then SAP will not pay ANY item before it is due, as it assumes (of course) that there will be another payment run tomorrow and anything that is due after today will be paid then. Just because you tell SAP that the next payment run is tomorrow, doesn't mean that you have to actually have another payment run tomorrow. You can perform the next payment run at any time. This reduces your issue to a training issue.
If (2)- then you are going to need a custom user exit. Even APP allows "early payment"- if the user enters a date far in advance for the next payment date, then SAP will pay items that come due before that date, now (to avoid them becoming past due).
Why is your user opposed to using APP? Are you (and your user) aware that you can use APP to generate individual payments- ie one payment each time you perform F110? In fact- in my opinion- it is easier to use F110 for single payments than F-58. Especially if you use the copy parameters feature, there is less to fill out. And using APP gives you more control over the personnel generating payments than does F-58.
If your user is concerned about the complexity of setting up APP, then I have some suggestions:
* This is your chance to shine, by showing them that it is not that complicated.
* You can get more information about setting up APP from a lot of sources, including this forum.
* SAP Press has a book called "Check Design In SAP - ERP Financials" on setting up automatic payment processing. It has two chapters that are nothing more (or less) than a configuration guide to setting up APP.That section will be useful to you regardless of what payment methods you use. It also has a couple of chapters on performing payment processing, once you have it configured. You will find it immensely helpful- and don't think that I am biased just because I wrote it!
