FI vendor block

Vendor is blocked for posting

Vendor invoice or payment posting fails because the supplier is blocked at central or company-code level.

Likely root causes

  1. The supplier has a posting block at company-code or central level.
  2. The wrong supplier master was selected.
  3. A governance/compliance process intentionally blocked the supplier.

What to inspect

  1. Business Partner/vendor master posting-block indicators.
  2. Company code used by the document.
  3. Workflow/compliance status if the supplier block is controlled externally.

Resolution path

  1. Confirm whether the block is intentional before any change.
  2. Use the correct supplier if the document references the wrong one.
  3. Remove a block only via the approved supplier-governance process.
  4. Retest the posting after the master-data status is valid.
