F110 payment proposal - exclude vendor range

[roadwarrior01]

Seems logical but...when creating a payment proposal (F110) we want to specify vendors both to include and to exclude (e.g. specify a range to include and then exclude selected individuals.

However when we click Maintain Selection options, the Exclude from Selection red button is grayed out - we can only Include vendors.

Where is the setting to turn on the Exclude?

I think you can only exclude the vendors from the edit proposal. I am thinking it is a process control, so that business does not forget to pay out vendors, but mistakenly excluding a vendor. That's the only reason I can think of

What is about the Free Selection tab?

I'm still puzzled because there's obviously some development done to prepare for an Exclude - the red Exclude button is there but grayed out. So either SAP originally intended it to be there but hasn't completed the development, or decided to exclude it after the fact and did a sloppy job editing the code.

The question comes from our AP manager who swears the function used to be there but is now gone.

Free Selection doesn't allow you to select by vendor number. Almost any other field in LFA1 and LFB1 but not LIFNR.
