A request to my Dept card came in this more under Apple for €122.99, I checked my subscriptions and payment history via my Apple profile, but nothing out of the ordinary, but no sign of the €122.99 transaction. I have block to payments to Apple to prevent this happening again.

A request through where?
Where did you see this charge?
If this was only an email or text message indicating a charge, it's probably a scam, and not from Apple at all.

I would strongly advise against blocking real charges from Apple as that can leave your account in bad standing and restricted to access the iTunes and App Stores until whatever charge can actually be processed correctly.
It's very very unlikely a random un-approved charge will appear from Apple as the system has a ton of protections and verifications in place to avoid unintended charges. In the vast majority of cases we've seen here, emails and text messages with purported charges for such amounts have been in 99% of cases a scam from other parties looking like it came from Apple, and trying to get you to call a number and give out your account or credit card details.
Apple will never send emails or text messages regarding any possible charges.
Charges from Apple either go through or not there is no pre-authorization phase or a charge confirmation etc...
When a charge happens it's immediately added to your account.

Are you the Family Organizer in a Family sharing group? If so, the charge may have been started by another member of the group, but still charged to you as the organizer, in which case the charge description would appear on their accounts. To see family members' purchases, sign in, in the link above, and then tap or click the Apple Account button to choose a family member.
Were any amounts in your Purchase History in red? That would indicate a charge that was unable to process. The amount you see there does not include tax and several may be bundled together so it may not exactly match 122.99.
I got a push notification from my banks app that said “a transaction was declined due to lack of funds”, when I check what the attempted transaction was my statement said it was from Apple.
I also checked the details of the “Apple bill” and it matched my other Apple bills (icloud, etc).
