The automated payment run process in SAP S/4HANA, executed via the "Manage Automatic Payments" app (or transaction F110), follows a distinct sequence of steps. The process begins with (B) Maintain parameters, where the user defines the criteria for the payment run, such as company codes, payment methods, and vendor accounts. Next, the user must (E) Schedule proposal run, where the system identifies open invoices that match the parameters and generates a payment proposal list for review. After the proposal is reviewed and approved, the final step is to (D) Schedule payment run, which executes the payments, posts the corresponding accounting documents, and prepares the data for the payment media creation.

A. Schedule invoice run: This is incorrect. Invoices are created or received before the payment process begins; they are the input for the payment run, not a step within it.

C. Upload bank statement: This is incorrect. Uploading a bank statement is part of the bank account reconciliation process, which occurs after payments have been made and cleared by the bank.
