The automatic payment run (transaction F110) in SAP S/4HANA is a comprehensive process that automates the payment of open items. The key results of a successfully completed run include:

1. A detailed payment log is generated, which includes the proposal list, exception list, and a record of all actions taken by the program for audit and review purposes.

2. The system posts payment documents, which clear the vendor/customer open items and post the corresponding entries to the bank clearing accounts.

3. Payment media are created, such as Data Medium Exchange (DME) files for electronic transfers or files for check printing, which are then sent to the bank or printing service.

A. Payment plan: A payment plan (e.g., installment plan) is a payment term set on an invoice or master record before the payment run. It is an input, not a result.

B. Payment blocks: A payment block is a control indicator used to prevent an item from being paid. It is an input to the payment program's selection logic, not an output.
