When it comes to managing invoices, payments, and vendor interactions in SAP S/4HANA, the right SAP Fiori apps can make all the difference.
Instead of navigating through complex transactions, accounts payable teams can use intuitive, role-based apps that streamline daily tasks, from invoice processing to payment runs and reporting. In this blog post, we’ll highlight the most important SAP Fiori apps for accounts payable in SAP S/4HANA Finance, so you can empower your finance team with modern tools that improve efficiency, reduce errors, and provide better visibility into your company’s financial operations.
Business Partner Financial Overview (F2429)
This app provides a 360-degree centralized snapshot of a business partner's financial data to finance, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and credit controllers in real time. On the initial screen, you can filter the desired business partner based on selection criteria and sort out the results list. In addition, you can navigate to the financial overview to access balances of receivables and credits, master data, and contract accounts. The overview includes invoicing documents, payment documents, returns, dunning notices, clarification cases, installment plans, promises to pay, items from worklists, receivables submitted to collection agencies, and write-offs. The financial overview app also covers collections worklists and enforcement actions, if used. You also can access the list for generating worklists from the business partner list, which is available for certain apps with the accounts payable/receivable manager role template.
Create Credit/Debit Memos (Mass Processing) (F3068)
As part of accounts receivable and accounts payable processes, this app allows you to efficiently create credit memos or debit memos for large volumes of invoicing documents, allowing adjustments to invoiced amounts without altering the original invoice. You can search, filter, and sort invoicing documents based on various criteria while excluding those already associated with a credit or debit memo. For example, you can search for credit and demos using fields such as invoicing document, business partner, contract account, invoicing type, document date, and invoiced on. If reversing the invoicing document is not feasible, the original document along with the credit or debit memo defines the effective invoiced amount. The app supports batch creation for up to 500 documents, provides error status visibility, and allows entry of fixed or percentage-based amounts for memos.
Before saving, you can calculate the total amount, access the Manage Credit/Debit Memos app (F2389), and modify created memos before approval. Navigation options, such as hiding filters or customizing columns, are dependent on roles and authorizations, enhancing flexibility and usability. One major advantage is that the app allows you to perform bulk processing of transactions in a single run.
Days Payable Outstanding – Detailed Analysis (F2688)
With this app, accounts payable users can measure how long, on average, it takes a company to pay its suppliers after receiving invoices. You can view KPIs by company code, supplier, and country. The information is presented in a graphical form with options to view the days sales outstanding (DSO) by company code or by company code by time. It’s a critical metric in assessing a company's liquidity, payment behavior, and the efficiency of its accounts payable process. With this analytical app, you can perform a detailed analysis of days payable outstanding (DPO) by using predefined steps to view DPO by company code, supplier, and supplier country. The app allows you to monitor trends over time and refine their analysis with various filters. The app provides you with key features that include saving frequently used analysis paths and filtering by company code, supplier, accounting clerk, country, and period range.
Display Bank Payment Approval Jobs (F6617)
This app allows accounts payable users to monitor the status of bank payment approval jobs running in the background, initiated from the Approve Bank Payments (Version 2) app (F0673A) when the Approve in Background function is enabled. Without this function activated, the app won’t display any background approval jobs, thereby limiting visibility into automated payment processes. The app’s features include searching for initiated background jobs and displaying their current status for tracking and management.
Display Business Transactions (F4294)
This app allows accounts payable and accounts receivable users to display business transactions for contract partners, providing a chronological overview of postings, master data changes, and correspondences in contract accounting. With this app, you can apply filters to enable searching for specific transactions and clicking on a transaction opens an object page with detailed information. The app serves as an alternative to the Display G/L Account Balance (New) app (F0707A) for viewing contract partner transactions.
Display Returns (F3126)
Contract accounting is a subledger that is appropriate for processing large document volumes, which is important for certain industries. This app offers accounts receivable and accounts payable users detailed insights into returns data. The app offers the ability to view, manage, and track the entire returns process within contract accounting. For example, you can search for a list of returns using fields such as business partner, contract account, returns lot, return reason, return status, and posting date. Once a returns lot is successfully entered, closed, and posted, the system records the returns data in a history table (DFKKRH), which can be accessed through this app. The system stores returned process header and line-item details data in tables DFKKRH and DFKKRP, respectively. In addition, the app allows you to filter returns based on business partner, contract account, and additional criteria, such as returns lot, return reason, and return status.
Display Supplier Balances (Version 2) (F0701A)
With this updated app, accounts payable specialists and finance managers can get an overview of outstanding supplier balances across different company codes and currencies. As a result, you can improve cash flow management by tracking outstanding payables, enhancing financial transparency, and supporting better supplier relationship management through timely payments and accurate financial reporting. The app helps you to analyze open amounts, overdue payments, and total liabilities; filter balances by supplier, company code, or fiscal period; and drill down into detailed supplier transactions for reconciliation. In addition, you can monitor outstanding supplier balances and overdue amounts to ensure timely payments and avoid late fees. Also, the app lets you drill down into specific supplier transactions for detailed insights and export supplier balance reports to Excel for further analysis or to perform reconciliation.
This app is the successor app for the deprecated Display Supplier Balances app (F0701).
Future Payables (S/4HANA) (F1743)
With this app, accounts payable users can analyze and view the top 10 amounts payable and check the number of open items for relevant suppliers. The app provides a view of future amounts payable in chart or table format according to various criteria including company code, supplier, country and region of the supplier, account group, and payment blocking reason. The app allows you to view accounts payable by predefined due periods, which can be customized, and analyze the top 10 suppliers with the highest amounts payable. In addition, you can filter accounts payable by payment blocking reasons and specify a key date for data analysis. The app also supports technical features such as posting comments via SAP Jam, sending emails, and enabling caching for better performance. To access the app, you must be assigned the SAP_BR_ANALYTICS_SPECIALIST business template role. The app is built based on CDS view C_APFUTUREACCOUNTSPAYABLE.
Manage Bank Chains (F4004)
This app allows accounts payable accountants to create and edit bank chains, which facilitate payments through up to three intermediary banks before reaching the beneficiary bank. The app allows the determination of intermediary banks based on predefined factors such as house bank, supplier or customer bank details, currency, and payment method supplement. In addition, you can filter existing bank chains using multiple filter criteria such as SWIFT code, IBAN, and business partner. During payment runs for open items or treasury and cash management requests, the system determines bank chains based on system settings and master data in the system. In addition, any changes to intermediary bank entries during payment proposal editing trigger redetermination of the bank chain, which is then displayed on screen. Typically, bank chains are used only for payment methods requiring them and are included when creating payment media. However, payments like checks do not utilize bank chains.
Manage Checkbooks (F1577)
With this app, accounts payable accountants and account managers can monitor and manage checkbook usage within their organization efficiently. The app offers a comprehensive overview of the status of various checkbooks, including alerts for checkbooks nearing depletion, and allows immediate action on this information. You search for checkbooks using search criteria such as paying company code, house bank, bank account ID, checkbook ID, and checkbook name.
The app presents information in multiple sections such as New, Normal, Depleted, and Exhausted. The app offers key features such as creating, monitoring, editing, deleting, and splitting checkbooks; defining successor checkbooks for continuous operation; and reordering checkbooks. In addition, the app supports email integration and offers an export to spreadsheet option for streamlined reporting and analysis.
Manage Creditworthiness (F4408)
This app allows accounts payable and accounts receivable teams to display and edit the creditworthiness of business partners, which consists of manual and automatic values in contract accounting. The automatic creditworthiness value is calculated by multiplying credit numbers from relevant processes (such as returns and dunning notices) with time-dependent credit weighting and combining the results. The app determines creditworthiness using the following formula: Automatic creditworthiness value × Percentage credit factor + Manual creditworthiness. A value of 0 represents excellent payment history, while higher values indicate poorer payment history.
In addition, you can filter and view creditworthiness records using filter criteria such as editing status, business partner, postal code, city and risk class, monthly totals, and change history using filters such as business partner and risk class. Also, the app supports manual edits, which include adjusting creditworthiness values, percentage creditworthiness factors, and creating or reversing records. For instance, fixed creditworthiness values can be released for updates when needed. The app also records all changes made, ensuring accurate tracking and management of creditworthiness. The app uses CDS views C_CACreditWorthinessItemTP and R_CACreditWorthinessTP.
Manage Outgoing Checks (F1578)
With this app, accounts payable accountants and managers can monitor and manage outgoing checks within their organization efficiently. You can search for outgoing checks using fields such as payment date, void date, encashment date, paying company code, house bank, bank account ID, and checkbook ID. The app presents outgoing check data in a grid format with the flexibility of adding additional dimensions. In addition, the app offers a comprehensive overview of the status of various checks, indicating whether they are new, voided, or cashed, allowing for immediate action. The app provides key features such as creating, editing, voiding, cashing, and reprinting checks. There is also a specific extension for China, providing tailored functionality. Also, the app supports email integration and offers an export to spreadsheet option for streamlined reporting and analysis.
Manage Outgoing Checks for China (F7014)
This app allows organizations to monitor and manage outgoing checks, providing a clear overview of their status such as New, Voided, or Cashed. Thus, you can take immediate action on outgoing checks. The app is available for accounts payable accountants and accounts payable managers roles, supporting functions such as creating, editing, voiding, cashing, and reprinting checks. For instance, you can filter outgoing checks with filter criteria such as payment date, void date, encashment date, paying company code, house bank, and bank account ID. Also, a China-specific extension is provided for localized functionality. In addition, the app includes email integration and an export-to-spreadsheet option for enhanced usability and record management.
Manage Payment Advices (F2550)
With this app, accounts receivable and accounts payable users can manually create, view, edit, and delete payment advice, thereby ensuring payments are matched with invoice. This app serves a single place for displaying, searching, and managing customer or vendor payment advice. In addition, if machine learning is enabled for a customer’s account, you also can import payment advice from PDF, TIF, JPG, PNG, and XLS files. You can search for existing payment advice using search criteria such as editing status, company code, payment advice type, customer ID, created on, and created by. The app displays payment advice in a tabular format with the flexibility of adding additional fields as necessary.
If contract accounting is enabled for customer accounts, you can use this app to manage payment advice for the contract accounting component. The app provides features such as creating, viewing, editing, and deleting payment advice, as well as importing them from various file formats.
Manage Supplier Line Items (F0712)
The app empowers accounts payable or finance managers to handle ad hoc requests or recurring reports by locating supplier line items through comprehensive search capabilities, allowing you to find specific vendor line items using various search criteria. In addition, the app lets you view all supplier account line items or overdue supplier invoices for a company code, status, item type, and on a specific open on key date. The app allows you to personalize table layouts, predefined recurring queries, and saving settings as variants. Besides displaying data, you can set payment blocks, create manual payments, and export data for colleague sharing. The app also serves as a navigation point for drilling down into supplier line items from other apps. The app comes with features such as finding supplier line items, sorting and grouping data, exporting data with volume limitations, setting/removing payment blocks, changing line-item attributes, creating manual payments, and sending emails.
Monitor Payments (F2388)
With this app, accounts receivable and accounts payable specialists and treasury users can display an overview of their payment batches and view the statuses of batches and individual payments at various processing stages. You can search for payments using fields such as paying company code, payment run date, payment run ID, and payment batch alert. The app presents results in a tabular format with multiple tabs such as All Batches, New, In Approval, Approved, Sent to Bank, Completed, and Exceptions. In addition, the app provides features that include performing remediations to fix common issues with payment batches; viewing the history of a payment batch from creation to completion; editing due dates and instruction keys; accessing details for banks, accounts, and payments; seeing contact information for all batch approvers; and navigating to the details of the payment medium file if it has been created.

You can search for payments using parameters such as display currency, exchange rate type, exchange rate date, clearing area, created on, processing status, released status, and in repair. The app presents payment items in both graphical and tabular formats to analyze payments. As a result, you can monitor the status of outgoing payments to vendors and suppliers, quickly identify and resolve payment failures caused by issues such as incorrect bank account details or insufficient funds, and analyze payment data to optimize workflows and eliminate bottlenecks. In addition, you can select key figures and time periods based on your requirements, filter and aggregate payment data, convert payment amounts to different display currencies on the spot, and save visualizations as tiles in the SAP Fiori launchpad for easy access.
Quick Create Payment Advice (F2790)
Payment advice generally refers to a document or note that is sent to a vendor or customer to inform them of a clearing open item, detailing the payment amount, the payment date, and other relevant transaction details. In SAP, payment advice can be created in multiple ways, including while processing bank statements or manually processing open items to indicate the current processing status of open items. With this app, accounts payable users can manually create, view, edit, and delete payment advice. If machine learning is enabled for the customer account (using cash applications service and requires a separate license), you also can import payment advice from PDF, TIF, JPG, PNG, and XLS files. In addition, if contract accounting is enabled, you can manage payment advice for contract accounting.
