 SAP AG 2003

The business partner's payment patterns are reflected in his/her creditworthiness. The dunning procedure is stored at contract account level. The payment term determines the due date. This includes the due date for the cash discount. The clearing category controls payment allocation and the clearing of credit notes and receivables. The interest key is used to determine individual conditions for interest calculation. The account determination ID is used for determining general ledger accounts. The account class is not used by SAP programs and can, therefore, be used freely. The tolerance group defines limits for payment differences in the incoming payment.

The payment term contains data for determining the due date and cash discount terms. The payment conditions of general ledger accounting are referenced. FI-CA supports the single-level cash discount procedure. You can store different rules for determining the due date for credit and receivables. The due date can automatically be corrected to a working day in connection with the factory calendar.

The business partner's payment patterns are reflected in his/her creditworthiness. You can override automatic determination of creditworthiness by entering a percentage-based weighting and creditworthiness data manually. „ Creditworthiness is stored in the business partner's master data record. Creditworthiness can be updated manually or in the dunning run. „ You can also enter creditworthiness data manually. This means that business transactions such as a customer complaint over unjustified returns (creditworthiness improvement) or 'black lists' from external credit evaluators (worsening creditworthiness) can also influence a business partner's creditworthiness. Manual creditworthiness entries influence a business partner's creditworthiness the same as the entries created by the system. They can contain positive (worsening creditworthiness) and negative (improved credit worthiness) values. They can also be reversed. „ „

Postings to a contract account can be prevented by a central posting block. This prevents postings, clearing, reversal, and the cancellation of clearing for the involved account. In addition, the open items in this account are not dunned. During online clearing processing, open items of blocked contract accounts are flagged with an appropriate icon. It is not possible to activate these items. Individual business processes can also be prevented by blocks. You can set these locks for all items at contract account level, or at the level of an individual item. Lock reasons can be defined in Customizing. All locks can be given a time limit. Once this limit has expired, the locks are deactivated. You can generate a list of business locks in the SAP application menu under Utilities Industry -> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> For Contract Accounts -> Evaluation of Business Blocks. When you do this, you can select lock entries according to business partner, contract account, lock category, process and lock reason. The entries are output as a report list or ALV list and can be sorted according to business partner or contract account.

Contract accounts have varying numbers of items.

How many portions are to be assigned to each process? Each processing run does not contain the same processes or number of processes:

Processes on different servers have varying degrees of "performance".

Each document type is identified by a two-digit abbreviation in connection with a description. The document type classifies the document (for example, payment document). You can define for each document type whether it can be used for manual postings or as a document type for a payment or returns lot. Each document type is allocated to a number range. Document number intervals are specified for the corresponding document type using the number range. The number range also determines whether document numbers are assigned internally or externally. Document number ranges are specified depending on the volume of the business processes.

In addition to the document number ranges for manual posting, extra number ranges must be defined and allocated for business transactions that result from parallel mass processing (for example, invoicing or payment run). The key for the mass processing number range must begin with a letter. The parallel background processes take their document numbers from these number range intervals. As a result, they must be defined depending on the volume of business processes and the number of parallel processes. If individual postings of a certain category are frequently executed in dialog (for example, cash desk or cash journal), and if all postings are executed with the same document type, users may have to wait because all users access the same number range when document numbers are assigned. To avoid or reduce this period of waiting, several number ranges for individual postings can be allocated to a document type.

The document header contains general data for the accounts receivable/payable document such as: the document number, document category, document date, posting date, currency, and reconciliation key. Data on the person making entries and on the origin are stored in the administrative data of the document header. Data relevant to posting is stored in the business partner items: Data on the partner/contract, general ledger data (receivables account), data on the receivables amount, specifications on the due date, dunning and clearing data, cash management and forecast data, and other data. Information on offsetting posting is stored in the offsetting item. This normally means the line items for revenue posting(s) and the tax posting line items. Offsetting items and tax lines are created automatically, so only the business partner items must be created.

The clearing document that can be posted, for example, during incoming payment, only consists of a document header and the offsetting item(s). The following information is stored in the offsetting items: the payment amount, the corresponding general ledger account, and information on the cleared document. The document number of the clearing document, the clearing date, and the clearing amount are stored in the business partner items of the cleared document. This means that both documents are linked as long as the clearing exists. The payment document does not maintain a business partner item since all information on the business partner item can be viewed in the linked, cleared receivables document. If clearing is reversed, the connection between the clearing document and the receivable is deleted, and the payment document is given a new business partner item with all posting information. The clearing information is stored in the clearing history, even if clearing is reversed.

Statistical documents only consist of a document header and business partner items. These documents are not forwarded to the general ledger. Statistical postings make it easier to deal with uncertain receivables, since these postings are not transferred to the general ledger and, as a result, are easier to reverse if they are not paid. A typical example of this are budget billing receivables in IS-U. This is because budget billing amounts are not normally backed up by a bill and, if they are not paid, are more difficult to collect than amounts based on a bill. Furthermore, in the case of budget billing requests, value-added tax is only due when the budget billing amount is paid and the receivable is posted in the general ledger. Dunning charges are also another example of amounts that are often not paid, or documents from an installment plan since the underlying source receivables have already been posted in the general ledger.

When statistical items are cleared (for example by a payment), the clearing information is stored in the statistical document. A "real" business partner item (that is relevant for the general ledger) is created simultaneously in the payment document and cleared immediately. This item transaction is determined from Customizing. Revenue and tax lines are added to the offsetting item.

You can use the screen variants defined in Customizing to design the screens to execute the functions for the business transactions mentioned above (for example, creating a manual bill). You can select the fields you want hidden when the functions for posting, changing or creating a document are executed. For example, it makes sense to hide the fields containing information on the dunning procedure from the document entry. Users can store their preferred screen variants in the central user-specific settings in Customizing. This setting can be changed in the initial screen and during document entry. In addition, certain fields can be hidden (client-dependent) by Customizing as long as they are not needed in business transaction. In the initial screen for document entry, the company code is used as the default value for the line items. You can overwrite it there. When posting with tax, you can select whether the tax rate is entered manually or automatically determined and calculated from the business partner item. The net receivables field specifies that the amount entered is treated as a net amount; otherwise the amount entered forms the basis of tax calculation as a gross amount.

You can select various freely definable line layout variants in the list for entering business partner items. Fields included in a variant cannot be longer than 250 characters. Screen variants are specified in the customizing of the documents. Release 4.71 has been converted to table control. As a result, variants that existed previously, are no longer valid. However, they can be migrated using the report RFKK_VAR_MIGRATE_DOCUMENT. If you want to process a document but no current variables exist at this time, the system automatically generates the SAP variant. You can use this to process the document items. The previous SPA/GPA parameters 802 and 803 have been replaced by the new parameters 802TC and 803TC. In the initial screen of the Post Document transaction, you can enter the two line layout variants in the line layout for list entry group box. When you choose the Display/Change Settings function, the system displays a dialog box. You can select and save the variants in this dialog box using the input help. The variants are saved in the user parameters. You can branch to the detail view of document entry by double-clicking on a line. The detail view contains all document fields that can be maintained.. One or more items can be posted for one business partner. You can also enter items for different business partners within the same document. These items are posted in one document number.

The exchange rate can either be determined from the rates stored in the system, or by an entered exchange rate when entering a document in a foreign currency. If you want to calculate the exchange rate of a specific date, you must enter this exchange rate date. If you do not, the system uses the current rate. If an exchange rate is entered, it is compared to the rates stored in the system. If the rates differ, a message is displayed. An exchange rate can only be entered by users for whom a local currency is stored in their user-specific settings for FI-CA.

The indicator specifies that the posting is not for the current posting period, however is posted there. The start of the billing period, to which the previous open items relate. Use: The business partner can be informed of the date in payment notifications, account statements, direct debits or other correspondence. The date is only used for information purposes when displaying documents or accounts. For utility and telecommunications companies, this date is used as well as the posting date for manual posting for determination of tax on sales and purchases. If postings relate to a demand period during which the tax on sales and purchases was changed, the posting date is most often unsuitable. In such cases, this date can be specified. It is used to determine the tax on sales and purchases. Individual documents can be printed using the correspondence component (correspondence type 014).

It is possible to clear open items in a different currency. For example, receivables can be cleared in EUR with an incoming payment in USD. All selected open items are recalculated in the clearing currency if they have different document currencies. The calculation is carried out in two steps using the posting date of the clearing document: - Document currency -> Local Currency / Local Currency -> Clearing Currency. - In this way, maintaining the rates for all currency pairs is not necessary. The system uses the current average rate for the conversion according the rate table. If you have agreed upon different rates or amounts with the customer, differences will then appear during the conversion. In Account Maintenance (menu: Account -> Maintenance) in the screen Account Maintenance: Process Open Items, you can change the converted amounts and prevent these differences. The clearing currency and the clearing amount are stored in a cleared item.

Various business processes create a reconciliation key in the system. The reconciliation key is identified by the current day in the business year - which is derived from the creation date - and the source or name. Reconciliation keys that have been created automatically are closed automatically at the end of the business process. The system can also propose reconciliation keys for manual business transactions (post document, payment at cash desk ...). In order to do this, reconciliation groups for default values must be maintained in Customizing. These reconciliation keys can be accepted or overwritten. You must close them manually before transfer to the general ledger.

Userdependent and user-independent reconciliation keys can also be proposed for origin keys stored in Customizing. However, for this to happen, the SAP function modules FKK_SAMPLE_1113_USER or FKK_SAMPLE_1113 must be used in event 1113. During mass closing (transaction FPG4), the system closes all keys that are not reserved for a specific group of postings, for example postings for a payment run or a payment or returns lot. In addition to this, keys that are reserved for posting invoicing documents from Sales and Distribution (SD) are also closed If necessary, you can also delete reconciliation keys that have been created but are not used. To do this, select the Delete Unused Open Keys or the Delete Unused Closed Keys parameter.

Documents in a reconciliation key are cumulated according to posting date or general ledger account. Transfer of summary records with different posting dates leads to the creation of a general ledger document for each posting date. The reconciliation key is transferred according to the key date. If the reconciliation key contains documents with posting dates in the future, then the reconciliation key is only partially transferred to general ledger accounting on the key date. The rest of the key is transferred if the future posting date is earlier than or the same as the transfer date. If the number of lines in the general ledger document exceeds the maximum number of documents lines allowed in financial accounting, the document is split and another document is created. The required "zero balance" is posted via a transfer account.

Report RFKKGL00 transfers the summary records accumulated in the reconciliation keys to the general ledger. Program RFKKGL20 is used to reconcile between the general ledger and contract accounts receivable and payable. It reads from the general ledger the documents that were posted by transfer of the FI-CA summary records in the general ledger and compares them with the FI-CA summary records. Differences are displayed in color and marked with a red traffic light. You can select the corresponding menu option in the output list to correct the differences that occurred, for example, if posting was terminated, and that you were not able to subsequently post . If you select the correction run flag, the system executes the correction automatically in background processing. The report RFKKABS1 (check totals records) checks whether the FI-CA postings totals match the totals of the associated FI-CA documents and that the balance of the FI-CA documents is zero. The program displays any discrepancies between the posting totals and the FI-CA documents. The differences can be corrected in dialog or in background processing. If FI-CA documents do not have a balance of zero, the corresponding document numbers and reconciliation keys are output. These reconciliation keys cannot be exported and cannot be corrected automatically. Report RFKKOP04 generates a key date-specific list of open items for business partners in FI-CA. You can use the report during the final work (month, quarter, year) or for reconciliation purposes.

Report RFKKGL30: The program displays the documents from contract accounts receivable and payable (FI-CA) that have been transferred to the general ledger (FI) as totals records. The general ledger documents are read according to the selection criteria. The corresponding totals records and document lines from contract accounts receivable and payable are selected and sorted. Report RFKKGL30 guarantees the possibility for revision in contract accounts receivable and payable; this means that you can use it any time to determine and display items and documents in contract accounts receivable and payable (subledger) from the general ledger document (transfer document). A general ledger document can, therefore, be explained by the items in the subledger at any given point in time. You can use the report RFKKABS6 to reconcile the general ledger accounts: The program outputs postings that were transferred to the general ledger. The postings are displayed as an overview of balances or as line items with the corresponding posting date and, if available, an alternative posting date.

Report RFKKOP10 reconciles contract accounts receivable and payable (FI-CA) with the general ledger (FI). It reconciles the current balance for all reconciliation accounts or the reconciliation accounts specified as well as on sales and purchase tax clearing accounts. The following balances are determined per company code, business area and reconciliation account: - Balance of current open items in contract accounts receivable and payable The tax on sales/purchases clearing account is also useful for down payments. Statistical items are not evaluated. - Current balance of reconciliation accounts for the general ledger in contract accounts receivable and payable . - Balance of reconciliation keys in contract accounts receivable and payable that have not yet been transferred - Balance of adjustment totals records in contract accounts receivable and payable that have not yet been transferred. Report RFKKOP10 creates a totals sheet with the balances for the reconciliation accounts. The Status field in the list specifies differences per company code, business area and reconciliation account. The Missing OIs field informs you that a reconciliation account in the general ledger has a balance, but no corresponding open items were found in contract accounts receivable and payable. If you want to analyze in more detail which items or business partners are involved in specific differences, start report RFKKOP04 with the relevant reconciliation account as current OI list.

When the account balance display is called, the level of detail specifies the items that are displayed. Frequently used list types can be preconfigured in Customizing and temporarily modified if you enter via the detail selection. You can use the settings to save a list type as a default value in the user parameters. „ You can also further limit the selection by entering user-specific selection conditions based on certain item characteristics, such as due date, transaction or clearing reason. These user-specific limitations can be saved and are available to the user who specified them the next time he/she calls the account balance display. „ Account balance roles are an enhancement of the master data restriction. The account balance role 'consolidation parent' can be defined for an installation. If this is the case, the account balance role must have a function module, which determines all the subsidiaries. If you enter the business partner in the initial screen of the account balance and leave the field account balance role empty, the system displays all items for this business partner. However, if you enter a business partner and the account balance role 'consolidation parent' in the initial screen of the account balance, the system displays all items for this business partner and all items for the subsidiaries. „ Line layout, sorting and initial screen define in which form the selected documents are displayed, and which fields of the selected documents are displayed. This can be changed later in account balance display. If you want other items to be selected straight away, you must return to the initial screen, „

You can use the line layout variants you define in Customizing to generate different displays of contract account items. A line layout can be saved as a default value in the user parameters using the settings. You can also set the "decreasing" attribute for the account balance in each line layout. When you set this attribute, the default sort sequence of the fields in the line layout is descending instead of ascending. The default sort sequence takes into account the first six fields of the line layout. You can use sort variants in the account balance to determine the sort sequence of the selected items prior to their display. They consist of a freely definable key and up to three fields. You can set the "sort ascending/descending" option separately for each field. You specify sort variants in the initial screen of the account balance. The traffic light display is based on the due date. "Red" means that the due date/deferral date has been exceeded, "Yellow" means that the due date/deferral date has not been exceeded yet, and "Green" means that the receivable has been cleared.

The level of detail of the account balance display can be enhanced level by level using totals variants. Totals variants are summarized according to fields with the same content (for example, business partner, business partner number, or document number). However, this field may not be an amount „ The following totals variant is displayed in the example: - Level 1: Items summarized at the business partner level - Level 2: Items summarized at the contract accounts level - Level 3: Items summarized at the document number level - Level 4: Line item level „ The subsequent variant and the type of sorting are stored in the line layout attributes of a summary level. „ The last defined level of a sum variant is automatically the line item display. „ „

Example: There is a due receivable to the amount of 150.00 USD with document number 100001671. This amount has been partially cleared by payment document 100001673 and an amount of 100.00 USD „ If field Double-click field-sensitive is set in the user settings, then the detailed information for the respective field is displayed depending on the cursor position. If the double-click is not field-sensitive, the detailed view of the respective document is called. „ If you double-click on the traffic light symbol, the respective line is displayed inversely. „ In contrast to the previous list, you can now choose the display as an ALV grid list. The standard tab pages (for example, receivables, down payments) are still displayed. To access the detailed view of a payment (previously on the Payment List tab page), you must now double click on the payment.

The search function is cursor-sensitive: y If the cursor is positioned on a column header, a search can be carried out via this entity. If for example the cursor is positioned on Document number, a search can be carried out on document number intervals. If it is positioned on Contract account, a search can be performed on contract accounts. y If the cursor is positioned on a field in a document line, then all documents are displayed that have the identical field contents. If, for example, the cursor is positioned on 100.00, all line items containing the amount 100.00 are selected. If for example the cursor is positioned on 01/25/03, then all line items that are due on 01/25/03 are selected. y If the cursor is positioned on an area of the screen that contains no data, a selection window appears. You can select up to three fields from the field list as search criteria. The fields that are available here are determined via customizing. „ Sorting and totaling is also cursor-sensitive. „

Search function: The VRGNG (transaction) field is made up of the main transaction and subtransaction fields, and enables you to search for items with specific main and subtransactions by entering a single selection criterion. You can also use the fields CPUDT (entry date) and CPUTM (entry time) for searching and displaying information. Assign transactions for account balance display: Business partner items are not saved for some documents (such as payment documents). Text is not displayed in the account balance display for these transactions. However, you can define dummy transactions in this activity, depending on the clearing reason. This ensures that a text appears in the account balance display. The texts for these transactions are then displayed. Special feature for IS-U in line layout: Fields OPBEL_KK_RG and AUGBL_KK_RG. If the document item was created during IS-U invoicing, the print document number is displayed. It is prefixed by the letter 'D'. If it is a 'normal' posting document, it is prefixed by the letter 'F'. At the same time, the clearing number of the document is entered in the Clearing Document Number field. This enables you to replace the different FI-CA document numbers that are generated during invoicing with a universal document number. Budget billing display represents another IS-U feature: The indicator 'No Clrd Budget Blg' allows you to hide invoiced budget billing plans and allocated budget billing amounts.

A transaction is a combination of main and sub-transactions. The texts allocated to the main and sub-transactions explain the corresponding business transaction and are available in the correspondence. The main transaction controls the determination of receivables and payables accounts. The sub-transaction controls revenue account determination, determination of the tax determination code, and of information about any additional accounts (business area, CO account assignment data). FI-CA and the industry specific applications (such as, IS-U, IS-M or IS-T) use internal main and subtransactions. These are assigned during the various business processes and control these processes. These internal transactions are to be assigned to installation-specific, defined transactions. If all FI-CA functions or industry solutions are used, internal transactions represent the minimum of transactions. In addition to this, for manual posting, you can define any transaction that does not correspond to an internal transaction. Transactions in IS-U must be specified by characteristics such as debit/credit indicator, interest key, statistic indicator, etc. These characteristics are automatically transferred to the document during posting.

Internal main transactions are defined in contract accounts receivable and payable programs. These main transactions are needed for various business processes and are used for controlling these processes. All internal main transactions are stored in the system table TFKIHVOR. „ If the complete functionality is used, the internal main transactions represent the minimum of main transactions to which the freely definable main transactions must be allocated. „ Any number of main transactions can be defined for business transactions that have not yet been mapped. These main transactions are not allocated to any internal main transactions, for example, the main transaction Other Postings. „

Internal subtransactions of a main transaction specify the business transaction exactly; for example, the statistical returns charges are allocated the internal transaction 0070/0020. All internal transactions are defined in the system table TFKITVOR. This table contains transaction specifications such as, the debitcredit indicator and the statistical key. „ The fully defined internal transactions - internal main and internal subtransactions - can each be allocated once to a customer-specific transaction. „ When you specify a transaction with attributes, the system checks whether the credit/debit indicator and statistical key correspond to the attributes of the allocated internal transaction (table TFKITVOR). „

Transactions for account balance display must be freely defined. These transactions are defined for documents that do not have any business partner items (reversal or payment documents). The transaction is determined using the clearing reason of the document that was cleared by these documents (reversal or payment documents). These transactions must then be defined in the posting areas R001 (IS-U), T001 (IS-T) or M001 (IS-M). „ If documents that do not have any business partner items are cleared themselves (by reversal or clearing cancellation) , the system creates a business partner item and the clearing information can be written here. This item transaction is also determined from Customizing. The original clearing reason is also used for determination here: Posting area 1090 and/or 1091. „ Any sub-transactions can be specified for business transactions that are not represented in FI-CA processes. These sub-transactions are allocated to the freely-defined main transactions. This enables you, for example, to map infrequent business transactions and use them for manual posting. „ For SD billing documents that are posted to FI-CA, the transactions are determined based on several characteristics of the SD billing document. Transactions can also be freely defined here: Posting area 1200. „

Examples: y Customer-specific transactions: Other receivables for manual postings (6000 / 0020 in the training system) do not correspond to internal transactions. y Depending on the charge schema selected in the dunning steps of a dunning procedure, dunning charges must be posted either statistically or as relevant for the general ledger. The transaction is 'allocated' to the business process (specifies, which defined transaction is used in the business process) with the option of creating 1:n relationships. y The rate structure in IS-U Billing and Invoicing enables you to create different rate steps, which generate posting-relevant bill lines to different revenue accounts and CO account assignments. The freely defined subtransactions are included in these rate steps. Allocations cannot be made in the transaction configurations due to the customer-defined rates and subtransactions.

The system determines the main transaction during business partner processing based on the internal transaction and its allocation to a defined transaction. The account determination ID is determined from the contract account for cross-contract business transactions, or from the contract for business transactions relating to contracts. The account determination ID controls determination of the receivables account in FI-CA (together with the main transaction that resulted from the business transaction). The company code and, potentially, the division are further criteria. The same receivables account is determined when identical business transactions occur for contract accounts that have the same account determination IDs, for example residential customers or affiliated companies. You can use different account determination IDs to access different receivables accounts in general ledger accounting.

The account determination ID is determined from the contract account for cross-contract business transactions, or from the contract for contract-related business transactions. The subtransaction is also required for the revenue account determination This enables you to allocate different revenue accounts to one business transaction (main transaction) by defining special subtransactions. It is also possible to allocate different revenue accounts for each company code and division. The business area and sales/purchase tax code are defined in revenue account determination. Further account assignment characteristics (such as cost and profit centers) can be saved there using the CO account assignment key. In IS-U, you can override the auxiliary account assignments from cost accounting using a contractdependent CO account assignment key that is defined in the IS-U contract.

The determination of the indicator for posting sales tax is connected with the determination of the revenue account for a business transaction. „ In the table TE011, the valid sales tax code for general ledger accounting is determined historically (that is, the periods for which a tax code is valid are defined), based on the tax determination code determined in revenue account determination. „ The tax accounts to be posted are defined in the posting area 0010 depending on company code, sales tax code and tax transaction. „

In the activity, 'Maintain ...... Transactions', you can define main and subtransactions, carry out allocations to internal transactions, make cross-industry settings and add attributes to the transactions. The consistency check program RFKK_TRANSACTION_CONS_CHECK checks whether transaction configurations are complete and plausible. CO keys can be defined depending on company code, business area, and - if contract-related - depending on main and subtransactions. You define contract account-related CO account determination keys in transaction-relevant account determination; contract-related CO account determination keys (ISU) are assigned in the contract master record, however, they can be included in the posting area R001 before the contract account CO account assignments. In the account assignments for down payments and charges, you can define the transactions that are automatically posted when down payment requests, budget billing requests, or statistical charges receivables are cleared. You define these transactions according to the statistical keys. The statistical document items form the basis for posting. Account assignments that cannot be taken from the statistical document items must be defined here in the system. Accounts for budget billing down payments in IS-U only have to be defined here if the statistical budget billing procedure has been selected in the invoicing system parameters. You do not have to make any more settings in this posting area for the other budget billing procedures.

The business partner's address and bank data are used. The bank details defined in the contract account refer to the business partner's bank data. „ The function of the responsible company code is the same as the paying company code in General Ledger Accounting. „ If you specify another business partner and/or contract account to be used for clearing, the items from the contract accounts are paid together for this business partner. The system determines the payment method, bank details, and locks using this clearing contract account. „ You define the additional details which are relevant to payment separately for outgoing and incoming payments: • You can specify a business partner's bank details (or any alternative business partner's bank details) in each case. • You can override the payment methods entered by specifying a different payment method in the document. • You can block the contract account for outgoing or for incoming payments. You can also prevent bank collection after failed debit memos being carried out until a processing block date. „

The payment method determines the way in which a business partner pays his/her receivables or how credit is paid out. „ Payment methods are defined for a country. They are allocated for paying company codes and specified in more detail. „ The format determines the technical attributes of the payment medium. This way you determine whether the payment medium is created with a document (on paper) or using without (DME or EDI). „ If there is a credit memo and an open receivable in a contract account, then the credit memo is cleared against the receivable and the remaining balance is either collected or refunded. If, however, the credit is marked with a refund payment method, the refund still takes place and the payment for the full amount of the receivable is also posted. „

For example, you have to define bank details in the business partner's master record for a payment method that is classified as a debit memo procedure and reference these from the contract account. To create an outgoing check, however, you have to know the business partner's address.

The payment method defines the way in which payment transactions are carried out in a country. You define rules within a payment method that have to be met for that individual payment method:

In addition to data from the contract account, information required for the payment process is also taken from the document. You can also define certain data at document level that overrides the specifications from the contract account, or prevents incoming or outgoing payments. „ You can use grouping keys to group together open items that have to be paid or collected together. This means that you can prevent these items from being paid separately or other items being entered with them. As a result,you can ensure that a payment is made or debit memo is created with the exact amount that the customer was notified of (for example by IS-U invoicing). A grouping key can be freely allocated. Items can only be grouped together if at least the following characteristics correspond: Business partner; alternative payer in document; contract account used for payment; responsible company code; payment locks in items; item currency; item payment method; grouping key. An extra grouping field (DE PAYGR_PAY ) can be maintained for event 0600. This also has to be the same for all items in a group. The SAP Biller Direct component enables customers to display bills over the internet and release them for collection or pay them using a card. In these cases, the system allocates (and overrides) the payment group so that the authorized amounts can also be paid jointly, if possible. „

The payment medium is created at the end of a successful payment run (data medium exchange). SAP supplies payment medium formats (see the IMG structure: Financial Accounting -> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Program Enhancements -> Define Payment Medium Formats).You only need to create your own formats in exceptions. Information on data medium for collection or refund: All payment records are written on the data medium. This data medium is deposited at the company's house bank. If several house banks are involved in payment, a data medium is created for each house bank. Logs: All executed activities can be recorded in the application log, based on the problem class selected. In an additional log, it is possible to restrict the log to individual business partners. „ When Customizing the Note to Payee, the user defines the content that the Note to Payee fields must contain in the data medium exchange. Any number of categories can be defined for the Note to Payee, and these are later assigned to the payment method. You can, therefore, use the structure and contents of the Note to Payee in several DME formats. „ You can include payment exceptions on the clarification worklist. From here, you can branch to the document of contract account to check whether the exceptions are correct. In some cases, locks have to be reset; The appropriate items are then processed and paid during the next payment run. „

If you specify a different business partner and his or her contract account, the open items from all contract accounts that have the same payer are paid together. The details needed for payment or collection (such as payment method, bank details, payment block reason, or alternative payer) are only determined from the contract account of the paying business partner. Blocks in the paying contract account therefore also prevent the addition of items from the account to be paid. On the other hand, blocks on the account to be paid only prevent the addition of items to this account, not the items in the paying account. The contract accounts are cleared when the payment program is run. Clearing is only executed when the paying business partner is also selected in the payment run parameters. Joint payment is only possible when the business partner is the parallel processing object. In contrast to the payer, receivables for different contract partners are paid separately, not together, when you define an alternative payer.

Further activities in returns processing: - Repeat direct debit? If you defer the receivables and the temporary payment lock, the collection can be scheduled again. - Should no further direct debit take place? By setting payment locks or deleting the payment method at line item level, you prevent the line item from being debited again. If you set the payment lock at contract account level, you lock the account against future direct debits. - Should the accounting agent intervene? If event 0295 is defined, information can be sent to the agent, or other functions can be initiated. „ You can have the system create different types of returns correspondence, depending on, for example, the return reason and credit rating. A correspondence request is generated in the system for the returns correspondence. You can then generate the letter from this request using the central print setting. „

These reports transfer data directly from either an application server file, the bank data storage for electronic account statements, or from a MultiCash file. They use this information to create one or more returns lots and enable users to process errors. „ The application server file must have the format specified by SAP - that is, it may not contain any country-specific formats of electronic account statements. „

b y

Processing steps: 1. Create: A lot can be created interactively or by a program (for example a returns lot for account statement returns). 2. Change: If a lot is not closed, items can be deleted or added. You can correct any data for items that have already been entered. 3. Close: When a lot is closed, the header data and individual items can no longer be changed. However, a lot can be opened again for processing. Once a lot has been closed, postings can be initiated. 4. Post: Once the lot has been closed, returns posting is carried out with the processing step Post. 5. Postprocessing: Postprocessing is necessary if the returns postings could not be performed.

The correspondence component permits you to create paper records for the individual requests collected in the print container (for example account statements) and mass requests (for example bill printout, dunning notices, returns letters to the business partner). „ The concept for printing correspondence has been defined in such a way that print orders are now stored centrally and processed. Previously, the printing of forms had to be initiated separately in the spool for each individual business transaction. You can limit the selection to individual business partners and correspondence categories, as well as execute test and repeat prints. „

A payment lot, credit card or check lot can be entered online. The payment lot can also be created using a program (lot of incoming bank transfers, for example). Report RKFFZE00 transfers payment data and creates one or more lots for payments, payment orders, credit card payments or checks. To do this, the report executes the following steps: 1. It reads the application server file that has been entered and checks the data it contains 2. If these data records are correct, the report creates one or more lots. 3. If the corresponding indicators have been set, it closes and posts the lots. Incorrect data records are saved separately and can be used once they have been corrected. You can find out more about the prerequisites and characteristics of the report by reading the report documentation. „ Cash, check and credit card payments can be entered in the cash desk, or by using the cash desk in the active cash journal. „ If you use a payment order instead of a payment posting the payment program does not post a payment document and the paid items are not cleared. Instead, the system generates and saves a payment order. The payment is posted later based on the bank statement, the selection of accompanying open items using the payment order. The paid items are locked for other clearing transactions and other payment runs until the payment is posted. „

Processing is essentially the same for payment lots, payment card lots, payment order lots and check lots. In some cases the screen variants for entering the item may be different depending on the lot type being used. If you use the standard variant SAP (automatically generated by the system), fields that are not required at that point in time are hidden. „ Processing steps: 1. Create: A lot can be created online (for example, a check lot) or via a program (in the case of a payment lot of incoming bank transfers from an account statement, for example). 2. Change: If a lot is not closed, items can be deleted or added. You can correct any data for items that have already been entered. 3. Close: If a lot is closed you can no longer delete or add items. Once a lot has been closed, postings can be initiated. You can also correct lot items (such improvements to selection criteria) after lot has been closed. 4. Post: Once the lot is closed, payment allocation is carried out in the Post step. 5. Postprocessing: Postprocessing is necessary if postings have been generated for an interim account or if postings have not been carried out at all. „ Clarification worklist: You can use central clarification processing for clarifying payments that cannot be assigned. „

The bank transfers from an account statement are stored in a payment lot. Payments are assigned when the payment lot is processed. „ Interfaces: y Data Transfer from Account Statement to Payment/Returns Lot RFKKKA00 (transaction FPB7): The report selects payments, returns and payment orders that are imported into the bank data memory during the processing of electronic bank statements for the component Cash Management (TR-CM). If necessary,the FI-CA data can be transferred directly to a payment lot, payment order lot or returns lot. Alternatively, you can output selected data from the bank data memory in a file. You can then import the files created to payment lots, payment order lots or return lots in a later step. You can do this using the FI-CA transfer programs RFKKZE00 (payments, payment orders) and RFKKRL00 (returns). The system uses the business transaction and the amount +/- sign to decide the lot type a payment position is transferred to. y Data transfer from MultiCash files to payment, payment order and returns lots RFKKKA00 (transaction FPB17): If you convert country-specific bank formats into MultiCash format, you can use this report to transfer data from the MultiCash statement file and line item file to payment and returns lots in FI-CA. However, in order to be able to process MultiCash files, you must make the system settings described in the 'Prerequisites' section of the report documentation. „ The files can also be generated using neutral interfaces. However, these must have the SAP format which means they must not contain any country-specific formats from the electronic bank statements. „

In order to simplify the settings of the interpretation rules for the note to payee, the note to payee analysis can be tested in a Customizing activity. „ When payment data is transferred using the reports RFKKZE00 or RFKKKA00, you can still use the function module called up at event 0950 to make application-specific or customer-specific enhancements for payment or additional selections. For further information see the report documentation or the event description (FQEVENTS).

If you want to subject the values found in this way to an additional check, you can specify a check procedure for each structure sample. This check procedure has already been defined for the interpretation of the note to payee based on sample function module FKK_SAMPLE_SEL_TYPE_CHECK in the check procedure Customizing activity.

Define interpretation rules for note to payee: In this activity, you define the rules for the automatic analysis of note to payee texts for the automatic transfer of payment data to payment lots in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. Using the values determined, the system then determines the selection criteria for the assignment of payments to receivables.

Postings 3. Payment allocation by processing the payment lot „ In the case of payment lots, items from the bank clearing account are posted to payment usage or to the interim account. The document number is stored in the corresponding items in the payment lot. „ Payment usage can include the following: - Clearing/partial clearing of open items - Postings on account - Expense/revenue (payment differences) - Creation of new debit entries that are immediately cleared via payment allocation. (Charges or interest, for example) - Down payments „

You can use payment advice notes to enter details on announced payments. You can use the key created during the generation of a payment advice note as selection criteria for open items. „ In addition to the business partner or the contract account, you can also use the payment advice note number as selection criteria when entering a payment lot. When the payment is posted, the system selects the open items of the business partner in the payment advice note. The system uses the entries in the payment advice note items to allocate clearing amounts to the selected items. Any amount differences that occur if the amount from the payment advice cannot be completely distributed (that is, if the open item amount is smaller) are combined into a posting on account. „ Report RFKKAV00 also transfers payment advice notes from a sequential file: The report uses the data to generate one or more payment advice notes. It carries out the following activities: • Reads the application server file specified and checks the data contained therein • Creates one or more payment advice notes provided the data records are correct • Closes the payment advice notes provided the corresponding indicator is set. • Defective data records are saved separately and can be transferred once you have corrected them. „

You can use revenue distribution to manage receivables for third parties and forward incoming payments to the final recipient. The industry component IS-T uses this functionality to bill third party-services in the deregulated telephone market. „ When bills are posted, the final recipient can be recorded in the open items either manually when a document is posted, or automatically using an installation-specific function module that is processed at event 0045. For an example,see the SAP sample function module FKK_SAMPLE_0045. You can also use the SAP function module FKK_REVENUE_DIST_0045 to determine the final recipient from the attributes of a business partner. For further information, see the function module documentation. „ The mass activity Revenue Distribution can then be used to select the payments in the system that still have to be distributed. The system creates a history. An installation-specific function module called at event 5415 enables you to exclude individual documents or document items from revenue distribution. You can, for example, allow a period of four weeks to pass before you pass on a payment to the final recipient. „ The transaction Post Distribution creates totals for every final recipient using the amounts to be distributed. These summary documents are also created according criteria such as currency or main and subtransaction. This reduces the number of open items in the final recipients' accounts. For further information, see the documentation on the report RFKKRD00. „

Using the tolerance groups entered in the contract account, you can define and use tolerance limits for incoming payments. „ If the tolerance limit of the incoming payment is not exceeded, a tolerance account (set up in customizing) is used to post the difference between the open receivable and the payment. The receivable is then cleared in full. In order to do this, the clearing control must be set to allow tolerances to be posted. „ If the difference between the open receivable and the incoming payment exceeds the tolerance limit defined for the incoming payment, the open item is partially cleared and the difference stays in the contract account as an outstanding receivable. „

Central clarification processing is provided to clarify payments that cannot be assigned. The clarification cases for all payment lots are stored in a separate clarification worklist. „ The list of clarification cases to be displayed can be restricted in the selection screen for the clarification worklist using selection criteria. The clarification cases to be displayed can be further restricted with organization units of an organization structure. „ The clarification cases can be processed in parallel by more than one clerk. To do this, clarification cases can be reserved for processing. These clarification cases cannot be processed by other users. Cases that are reserved but not clarified can be released so that they can be accessed again by other clerks. „

The clarification worklist can be included in a worklist. SAP supplies the following two sample workflows for this. They can be used to create individual workflows: y Standard workflow A workflow must be allocated to a clerk before it can be sent to a workflow inbox. Agent assignment and agent restriction ensure that clarification cases are only assigned to an agent once. This means that if an agent cannot process and complete a clarification case, the case is sent automatically to another agent. y Ad hoc workflow - WS21000077 No agent allocations or restrictions have to be made for this workflow. If an agent cannot clarify a case, he or she determines the next agent and forwards the case to them. For this workflow, make the setting for a workflow with direct advance in the general workflow settings so that the next processor query appears immediately after processing.

When you call up a clarification case, the system automatically suggests a clarification proposal. You can define the range of the clarification proposal in your personal settings. In addition to the proposed business partners, the system can display their most recent payments and due items, it can search for similar numbers (for example document and account numbers) and can switch to the clarification processing screen so that you can distribute the payment amount between several partners, contract accounts or contracts. „ In the clearing proposal, you can delete proposed lines, select all proposed lines or reverse the selection in all lines. „ In some cases, the clarification proposals from previous clarification cases are not helpful. This can apply, for example, to payments made by social services or pension offices. Although the payments originate from the same bank account, the payments can be made for many different business partners. Previous, incorrect clarifications are also an example of this. If a payment was allocated to the wrong business partner and re-allocated later, the system will always propose the wrong business partner whenever a payment is made using that bank account. The function 'Maintain Exception Accounts for Payment Clarification' enables you to define different rules and individual default values for creating proposals that clarify incoming payments. „

The enhanced cash desk functionality includes the mapping of a cash desk structure and a role-based authorization concept. Cash deposits, withdrawals and differences can be posted posting documents can be created along with a detail display of the document. In contrast to the original cash desk functionality and its evaluation options (only via the payment lot), evaluations can now be made in the cash journal based on payment type and currency, cash desk and current or historical documents. „ When the cash desk is closed, the system compares the actual and the target balances in the cash desks of the cash journal and highlights any differences. A currency unit sheet makes it easier to enter the actual cash desk balances. You can enter the coin and note units in the currency unit sheet. Once you have saved this information, you can print cash desk closing. It can also be printed at a later date. You can open and close cash desks, regardless of whether a cash desk closing is to be executed for a cash desk. Cash desk closing does not have to be executed for opening and closing cash desks. However, if cash desk closing is executed for a a cash desk, this cash desk is automatically closed. If you want to make further postings to this cash desk, you must open the cash desk again. „

The cash journal can map the cash desk structure of a company. The cash desk structure includes the cash desks in the individual branch offices of a company. The cash desks in the branch offices form the master data of the cash desk structure and are, therefore, a prerequisite for the cash journal. „ The company code and the bank clearing account, as well as lots that have already been created according to the payment category, are proposed depending on the cash desk. If an open lot is not available, the system automatically creates a corresponding payment lot. The branch and the cash desk are the first 5 figures of the name. „

The cash desk has been integrated into the cash journal. This means that all incoming and outgoing payments are posted using the cash desk. You can navigate directly to the cash desk from the cash journal and back. The system transfers the cash desk allocated to an agent and other allocations (made by the system or the user) to the cash desk. When the Cash Journal transaction is activated, you cannot directly call up the Cash Desk transaction. Caution: If you activate the cash journal later, you cannot evaluate the postings that you made in the cash desk before activating the cash journal in the cash journal. You should therefore avoid changing settings (cash journal active/not active) during running operation. In the Payment at cash desk function, you can allocate payments directly to the open items of the business partner. You can use a payment proposal from clearing control or allocate the payment manually. Payment at cash desk includes cash, check or credit card payments. You can print a receipt subsequent to posting. You can select the application form for printing the receipt in the activity Define Application Forms for Correspondence (under Basic Functions for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable). With a (cash) overpayment, you can use the remaining amount to decide whether to post on account or whether the amount should be paid out.

Clearing Control: Business Scenario

Example from the Utilities Industry: One of your business partners pays his/her annual consumption bill, this includes billing for the electricity, gas and water divisions. Since this is a partial payment, the open items of the water division must be cleared first. The remaining amount must then be cleared proportionately against the open items of the remaining divisions. o n l y

Since these clearing processes are normally mass processes, the system must be able to automatically determine the payment usage or automatically create the clearing proposal based on predefined rules.

Clearing Control: Definition FI-CA clearing control is a tool for configuring a company's clearing strategy. It contains rules for an automatic clearing proposal or automatic payment assignment By splitting up the clearing algorithm into several work steps and combining a few basic rules, clearing control allows you to configure clearing scenarios flexibly and based on tables.

One of your business partners makes a payment to his/her contract account without specifying the payment use in more detail. Payment must be assigned automatically according to a strategy set up in the system. The system checks the due date of an item or an item group. It also has to check whether the paid amount corresponds exactly to a receivable. Only then can the payment be assigned.

A contract account contains open receivables and credit that were posted with reference to a certain division. In account maintenance, the system has to clear items for the same division against each other, taking into consideration the due date. The item amounting to 500.00 with the due date 01/01/03 and division 01 qualifies as the item with the highest that has to be cleared against the credit of 300.00 and division 01. In order to do this, the item is split into a sub item of 300.00, which is cleared by the credit, and a sub item of 200.00, which remains open.

Clearing rules are defined depending on the clearing type. They can also be made dependent on the clearing category (optional). The clearing type represents the business transaction. For example, payment lot (05), cash desk (19), manual account maintenance (03) With the exception of a few examples, it corresponds to the source used in the underlying process (HERKF_KK) The clearing category represents the reference to the contract account. It is stored in the contract account. In this way, different customer groups can have their own clearing categories. For example, private, commercial and industrial, collectors The user can freely assign the category Clearing variants can be assigned in Customizing under Define Defaults for Incoming Payments, Account Maintenance, Invoicing..... (structured according to areas of implementation).

In the selection criteria, you can specify for every clearing type which item is to be included in the clearing analysis based on transaction and due date. You can use the clearing category, main and subtransactions to specify whether an item is to be included and, if so, within which due date interval. You can determine the selection criteria at the following levels: 1. Clearing category, main transaction, subtransaction 2. Clearing category, main transaction, not specified 3. Clearing category, not specified, not specified 4. Not specified The restrictions are interpreted in up to 4 steps, starting with the specified clearing category, main transaction and subtransaction and finishing with an unspecified entry. Normally, the level found first is used. If the system cannot determine any selection restrictions for an open, it is included 'unfiltered' in the clearing analysis. Examples from the IS-U Utilities Industry: During the account maintenance of periodic invoicing, a cash security deposit payment should not be included in the clearing. The clearing category / type and the corresponding transaction 0020/0010 for the cash security deposit payment ensure that open items with this transaction are not included. The first new budget billing amount (0050) has to be included in the annual consumption billing. To do this, a number of days between the system date and the future due date of an item must be defined so that the due dates that have not yet been reached can still be included in clearing

Characteristics normally describe a certain attribute of an item (for example,an item is a payment on account or due), or a certain event (for example, a payment is made by entering a document number). Characteristics can be created: With a reference to the original item attribute (fields in document structure FKKOP) - business partner, contract, division, main transaction, subtransaction, due date, document number, statistic indicator,... Or with value derivation from a function module (sample FKK_SAMPLE_TFK116) using information on the open item - transaction, item is due, item is assigned to a contract account..... Characteristics: Group open items Open items that have identical grouping characteristic values in a clearing step are regarded as a unit (for example, all items that belong to the same company code) Specify (filter) which items are processed in a clearing step (for example, only due items, or only company code U100) Specifies (switch) the condition required if a clearing step is to be executed (for example, only execute the step if the payment was made by entering a document number) Sorts open items Sorting determines the sequence in which the groups are processed and the sequence of clearings within the group.

Amount check groups are used in a clearing step to define amount-dependent clearing conditions. The check groups are used within a group of open items in the following way: In the case of incoming payments, the difference between the available payment amount and the total balance of open items in a group that have already been posted undergoes an amount check. For all other business transactions, the difference between the total credit items and the total receivable items undergoes a standard check. Amount check groups allow you to specify differentiated amount variances within which a clearing is permitted. You should be aware that the amount group does not have the same functionality as the tolerance group defined in the contract account. It only has to specify whether a clearing takes place or not. The amount differences from the payment and posting assignment that were determined according to the default values in the amount check group are not implicitly written off. Depending on the specifications in the clearing step, they can be written off, cleared or posted on account. The amount check group is defined according to currency.

You can also define a rule for different grouping for each grouping characteristic. Depending on each rule, you can define an alternative value for the individual values of a grouping characteristic. Example: In order to control two attributes of a characteristic in a group (company code U100 = company code U200), you can exclude individual characteristic values, and in doing so, items, from clearing (in the current clearing step,or generally), or clearing processing can be limited to certain characteristic values (such as only company code U100). The sorting string controls the processing sequence of individual open item groups, as well as the sequence in which the open items are cleared within these groups. From a technical point of view, the groups are sorted according to the smallest value in their sorting string. Example: When items are grouped according to company code and sorted according to due date, the company that contains the item with the oldest due date is sorted at the front of the sequence. For most characteristics, sorting them according to their values does not lead to the desired results. If, for example, you want to clear charges first (STAKZ = G), sorting the items according the statistical indicators does not normally achieve this. In order to get the result you want, you can define a ranking order rule in the sorting string definition for each characteristic. Depending on the rule, you can, for example, specify whether a certain characteristic value is sorted at the start or the end of the item table.

Clearing Control: Special Features

When installment plan items/collective bills are cleared, the clearing amount for the installment plan/collective bill is distributed amongst each source item. For the installment plan, the amount is distributed using the clearing control for the clearing type 20R, and for the collective bill, 20S. The workflow for amount assignment can be described as follows:

2.

For the installment plan, the clearing amounts are distributed again between source items. This is done using the clearing control for clearing type 20R.

3.

Extreme example: If the source items of the installment plan are a collective bill, the clearing amount for this collective bill is distributed further amongst the individual items of the collective bill. This is done with clearing control 20S.

When installment plans or a collective bill is cleared in a payment lot/account maintenance, the system processes clearing control for two (in extreme cases, three) different clearing types.  SAP AG 2003

Clearing Control: How Can I Test It?

You can request clearing proposals online in manual clearing processing. This means that the clearing variant defined the process in question is processed. You can check the determined clearing proposal online. A clearing document cannot be posted unless it is explicitly and manually confirmed. This enables you to efficiently and simply test a clearing variant. The clearing proposal for account maintenance can be requested in manual account maintenance (FP06) if you activate the Create Proposal field in the initial screen.

In manual clearing processing, you can request that a clearing amount assigned to a collective bill / installment plan item / summarization item is a distributed amongst the dependent items. You can do this by selecting the appropriate icon at item level.

Clearing Control: Creating Payments on Account

If an automatic clearing proposal cannot be determined for a payment or a partial amount, or if you do not want one to be created, clearing control can create a payment on account for this amount. An agent can initiate a payment on account (for example, in clarification processing or the cash desk)

If the system cannot determine a clearing proposal for any part of the amount, for example, if an open item was not selected, the amount is either posted on account or to a clarification account, depending on the specifications for the clearing type. The clarification control can depend on the clearing category and the amount.

A posting on account is not created when you request a clearing proposal online for manual clearing (post) processing.

Clearing Control: Writing Off Statistical Items

If you want to waive certain statistical receivables or payables, such as unpaid dunning charges, you can write these off in payment processing or account maintenance. In this, the items are marked as cleared but do not initiate any subsequent processing (for example, down payments, actual requests for charges). Down payment requests or charges, for example, can be written off. Control can be dependent on statistical indicators, transactions and amounts. The following scenarios (amongst others) are supported: Write-off if no real receivables(*) exist Write off by the due date of the next actual open receivable(*)

C S C

In the program enhancements for the clearing control, users can use their own rules to control the write-off decision.

i n t e r n a l

Due to technical reasons, you can only write-off statistical items that are not already preselected for (partial) clearing within in the procedure of a clearing proposal.

Clearing Control: Clearing Strategies Special features for payment assignment: The payment assignment strategy results from the assumption that every payment entered is connected to a certain note to payee known to the payer. The payer's note to payee can differ in terms of detail. The aim of the strategy is to determine the note to payee of the payment (item to be cleared) as precisely as possible. To this end, the open items can be grouped into 'logical' units (bill, whole item currently due etc.) in clearing control. These units reflect the payer's view of the account.

C S C

Normally, for payment assignment a clearing variant is used that attempts to assign the exact amount in the first clearing steps, and then uses broader limits for each subsequent step. This enables the user to flexibly influence the clarification worklist for incoming payments.

In account maintenance, it is, therefore, not normally a good idea to assign items according to exact amounts. Here, strategy concepts such as clearing sequence and clearing within certain groups (such as company code- or division-based) with permitted partial clearance play a more important role.

Clearing Control: Clearing Strategies Special features during the distribution of dependent items: The aim of this assignment algorithm is to distribute a (partial) clearing initiated for a collective bill, installment plan or summarization group among the dependent items (subordinate items, source receivables from the installment plan, summarization group items).

The installed algorithm must be able to distribute all of the clearing amount without there being anything left over. The corresponding clearing variant should allow the items to be partially cleared (at least in the last clearing step). The clearing variant cannot use any rules for the automatic write-off of tolerance differences.

A dunning run is made up of two sub-processes: The dunning proposal and dunning activities run. A dunning proposal consists of the items from a dunning proposal run that have been grouped together for dunning. Every dunning notice refers to a dunning procedure. You can specify the selection of items to be dunned using the parameters from the dunning proposal run. A successfully completed dunning proposal run is, therefore, prerequisite for dunning activities. „ The dunning activity run is the second sub-process and is executed after a dunning proposal has been created. The dunning run activity determines and executes the dunning activities defined in the dunning procedure and the dunning level. A dunning activity run refers to one dunning proposal run. If all the dunning activities for a dunning notice are executed successfully, the dunning activity run enters the print date in the dunning proposal. The dunning proposal then becomes dunning history. „ „

The dunning level indicates how often this item has already been included in a dunning run. The highest dunning level reached by any one of the items recorded on one dunning notice determines the dunning activities to be carried out during the dunning run. „ The dunning level of an item can also be decreased by the dunning program if, on the basis of the amount limits, the item would no longer reach this dunning level (for example, after a partial payment). „ If the item is included in the dunning history at the time of clearing, a program can be called that executes other dunning activities. This could be, for example, canceling a service disconnection in the case of an incoming payment. „ „

These items are then grouped together into dunning groups on the basis of these criteria. „ The items are used for checking dunning relevance (i.e., amount limits and days in arrears) per dunning group. „ The grouping key enables you to use other desired criteria such as business area and division in addition to the standard criteria (dunning procedure, currency, main company code). „ You must enter the grouping key in the contract accounts for which the grouping is to be valid. „ „

Dunning frequency and days in arrears are interpreted as working days in the factory calendar. You can enter an alternative dunning procedure that can be used to dun installment receivables. You can use an alternative, shortened dunning procedure for returns. You can use a parameter in the dunning procedure to specify how the dunning program reacts if a business partner's open receivables already reached the highest dunning level in a previous dunning run. „ You also have to control how the dunning run reacts if the dunning procedure changes and whether the dunning levels of the other procedure are included, or whether the current dunning procedure starts again with the first dunning level. „ If the system lowers the dunning level (for example, due to partial payment and if the amount limits are not exceeded), you can override this so that the item retains its original dunning level. „ If contract account contains receivables due for dunning and open credit, you can use the dunning procedure to decide if dunning notice should not be created, or whether the credit should be included in the dunning balance or ignored. „ „ „ „

Days in arrears: A minimum of n days in arrears must be reached. The dunning frequency is also reached when at least n days have passed since the last dunning notice. Always dun: When the dunning frequency has been reached - even if account situation has not changed Charges: Key that defines the schedule for determining charges. The update key lets you know if the calculated interest is relevant for the general ledger, or whether it has to be statistically posted. Specifying the dunning level controls whether the dunning level can be allocated by an external program (for example, IS-U Invoicing). Only items dunned in previous step: Only items that were in the dunning group for the last dunning level are included in the dunning group. This ensures that no further items are included in a dunning procedure after a legal action dunning level. If a dunning level is flagged as optional, the system skips this level if the days in arrears have reached a higher dunning level. The system go any further than the next dunning level that is not flagged as optional. It does not skip mandatory levels. This procedure makes sense, for example, if a dunning run is delayed due to a system breakdown, but you do not want the dunning procedure to be extended unnecessarily because of this delay.

Dunning charges schedule Charges schedule that can be allocated to the dunning levels. Every charges schedule can manage the charges data for a maximum of three charges categories. Charge scales relating to currency and creditworthiness can be created for every combination of charges schedule and charges category. These scales can be used to determine charges. You must specify how the system posts the individual charge scales (for example, statistically or for the general ledger). Dunning amount limit The dunning amount as of which the charge is calculated. Dunning charge The charge levied. Percentage rate Percentage of the dunning amount is estimated as a charge; this is at least the fixed amount for the dunning charge Transaction The transaction (main and sub) that is stored, specifies whether the dunning charges are posted statistically or as an actual receivable.

All activities that were carried out are recorded in an application log. Application forms from the print workbench form the basis of the dunning notice. Printout can be controlled immediately in the spool, or in correspondence management of the print container. In the dunning procedure (for installments), you can specify an activity that deactivates the installment plan. After the installment plan has been deactivated, the source receivables are dunned again. A disconnection document can be created automatically in IS-U. A meter disconnection procedure is started for the business partner and monitored using this disconnection document. A workflow can be used, for example, to trigger a clerk notification. In the dunning procedure, you can release a receivable for submission to an external collection agency. In the dunning run, you can automatically set a dunning lock for the dunned contract account. You can use the example function module FKK_SAMPLE_0350_LOCK_VKONT to do this. The module writes a dunning lock reason in the master data. This function module is used for defining a dunning activity that can be stored in the dunning procedure. Function module FKK_SAMPLE_0395_UNLOCK_VKONT enables you to delete the lock (at event 0395) set by the dunning program when the dunning notice is reversed.

Telephone dunning: Function module FKK_SAMPLE_0350_TEL_ITEM allows you to implement a new dunning activity in which the dunned business partner is included in a telephone list. A clerk then calls this business partner and works through the list. A list like this that has been generated by the dunning activity run can be forwarded to an external system (for example, a call center in mySAP CRM) automatically at event 1799, using function module FKK_TRANSFER_CALL_LIST_1799, or manually using report RFKKMADUTLTRANF. The call center then processes the list. „ The events 9010, 9012 and 9013 have to be defined in order to forward the entries. SAP provides function module FKK_CALLLIST_CRM_9010 as an example. „ Alternatively, the new transaction Telephone List can be used if a telephone list is being processed by several agents. You can find this transaction in the menu under Periodic Processing -> For Contract Accounts -> Dunning Notice. In this transaction, an agent can flag an item as completed after a successful telephone call with the business partner. In order to record communication with the business partner, the clerk can create customer contacts manually or automatically. In the Customizing settings for customer contacts, you must define the contact configuration for the program context SAPLFKKDUTL. „ To be able to provide the business partner with information, the agent can branch from the detailed information in the telephone list to, amongst others, the account balance, objects connected to the dunning notice and a customer- or industry-specific function that can be implemented at event 9011. „

The correspondence component permits you to create paper records using the individual requests collected in the print container (for example account statements) and mass requests (for example bill printout, dunning notices, returns letters to the business partner). „ The concept for printing correspondence has been defined in such a way that print orders are now stored centrally and processed. Previously, the printing of forms had to be initiated separately in the spool for each individual business transaction. You can limit the selection to individual business partners and correspondence categories, as well as execute test and repeat prints. „

If a receivable is submitted to an external collection agency, this means that a customer has not paid a receivable and that the company is not able to collect it. „ Receivables submission is made up of two steps: 1. The entry of data in the database table DFKKCOLL. All submitted receivables and receivables to be submitted (release for submission) are managed. 2. Selection of the receivables to be submitted from the database table DFKKCOLL and the physical submission of the receivables using report RFKKCOL2, which creates a file for each collection agency (submission to collection agency). „

When you submit an item, you can create a payment form that simplifies the assignment of payments to open items. If the file from the collection agency contains collected payments, these can be allocated to the appropriate open items using the payment form number confirmed by the collection agency If the collection file contains interest and charges, the system posts these as interest and credit receivables and they are passed on to the customer. Receivables that have not been collected and are, therefore, irrecoverable can be automatically written off if you activate the Write-off Item Directly indicator in the write-off parameters of RFKKCOPM. Collection charges to be paid to the collection agency can be determined using a defined function module in event 5068 and posted as payables to the collection agency's contract account. To do this, you must activate Post Collection Charges indicator in the specifications of RFKKCOPM. If the collection agency provides the information personally or in writing, the payments, interest and charges receivables must be posted manually. You can use transaction FPAVI (Payment advice note from collection agency) to enter a payment advice note.

The collection agency has to be informed when items are called back and must receive information on items that have already been submitted. In Customizing, you can specify which information is included in the file for the collection agency. The Information for Collection Agency (FPCI) mass run enables you to create files for the collection agency that contain the following information: The master data of one or more business partners has changed. The business partner has directly paid part or all of the outstanding amount. The program writes items with the following submission status in the file: 10 (receivable paid directly by customer) 11 (receivable partially paid by customer) Items that the collection agency cannot recover within a certain period have to be called back. When this happens the program includes items that have the submission status 09 (call back receivable) in the file. The direct customer payment for a previously submitted item was reversed, clearing reset or a return made. In the case of a reversal, returns or the (partial) reset of a clearing, the items in question receive the status 02 (receivable submitted) again. You can inform the collection agency of the re-submission of items using the information file - as long as the collection agency was already informed of the customer's direct payment.

Debit interest: Interest on open debit items is calculated for the period from the due date until the interest calculation date (this is usually the current date). Cleared debit items: Interest on debit items that were cleared late is calculated for the period from the due date until the clearing date, provided the clearing falls before the interest calculation date. Do not calculate interest: If an item is not cleared by a payment, then usually no interest calculation takes place (for example, interest must not be calculated for items having the clearing reason "Reverse"). Credit interest: Credit interest for calculating interest for credit always has to be posted as relevant for the general ledger. Interest is not calculated for allocated incoming payments. Interest simulation: Interest can be calculated for information , but it is not posted.

Existing installment plans are automatically deactivated and a new installment plan is created for the amount of the source receivable(s) still open. y Items that belong to a collective bill. The collective bill is automatically updated. „ The transfer posting document can be reversed. „ When transfer posting a customer account, you can allocate documents that already refer to contracts (account assignment) to a target contract account without having to specify a target contract.

With the appropriate authorization, you can set the indicator that determines that the check rules are not used. „ Open items can be written off completely, or, partially if the customer is to be let off part of his or her open items. You can specify the partial amount to be written off in the Write-Off Items transaction. Partial write-offs must be explicitly permitted in Customizing along with a write-off reason. When an item is written off, the written-off document items are cleared and a write-off document is created. The system automatically posts the expense or revenue accounts defined in Customizing. Write-off documents can be reversed. If this is done, receivables or payables are open again. You must define rules for adjusting tax during write-offs. If the posted expense account is tax-relevant, the system also adjusts the posted tax during write-off. „

C S C

The aim of grouping for automatic clearing is to group the open items into logical units. The system can then analyze how each unit can be cleared. A clearing document is posted for every unit that is cleared. The clearing analysis is executed using the clearing algorithm defined for an automatic clearing run in Clearing Control. „ Grouping is an enhancement of the clearing control functionality. In contrast to clearing control, maintaining a group is optional and only makes sense if you always want to post the clearing of certain item groups from a business partner / contract account in an individual clearing document. „

The system supports the request and handling of cash and non-cash securities of business partners. Non-cash security deposits can be bank guarantees, mortgage bonds, or savings accounts that are stored as security deposits. „ Cash security deposits are managed as payables, which can be settled according to certain criteria. „ Requests for cash security deposits, or changes to cash security deposits, can take place automatically when registering a business partner in IS-U move-in processing, or by using a function module in event 1025 when changing the payment method in the contract account. „ „

Security Deposits: Summary

z In contract accounts receivable and payable, a distinction is made between cash and non-cash security deposits. z You can only enter a cash security deposit if a request for a security deposit has been created. z Payment to a cash security deposit request results in a payable charged to the business partner. This is normally settled against the final bill in IS-U, or after the security deposit has been released. o n l y

You can transfer SD invoices directly to the FI-CA subledger accounting. Under certain conditions it is also possible to post SD invoices as invoicing requests, together with an IS-U invoice. You can use a standardized IDoc interface to import billing documents from external billing systems into FI-CA, and to process them there. Postings to FI-CA contract accounts trigger immediate posting in the Cash Management (TR-CM) application component. Postings from subledger accounting are transferred regularly (for example, daily) to the general ledger. Additional account assignments from cost accounting are included, and forwarded to the specified account assignment object. The CO-PA component is supplied with the necessary information from the IS-U invoicing component for different update types. This information is transferred regularly using transfer reports, which are triggered in FI-CA or IS-U. The integration in Financial Supply Chain Management improves customer-oriented processes. Business partners can use the Biller Direct component to check invoices and initiate payments (as well as other functions) on the Internet. Companies can use this information channel to interact with their customers. Extractors for open and cleared FI-CA items, and for other debit-relevant information, were developed for the Business Information Warehouse (BW). Integrating FI-CA in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) makes it possible to efficiently process transactions in the Call Center.

In the SD order for media sales and distribution, the 'contract account' field was included as a new input field for contract accounts receivable and payable. It is included in the order header and items. The SD business partner, for whom the contract account is specified, is the order payer. If precisely one contract account exists for the payer, then this is automatically transferred to the order. If more than one contract account exists, then a selection list appears when you create the order. In this way it is possible to specify a payer / contract account combination for each order item. In the invoice, the invoices are then split for different contract accounts. The contract account from accounting is entered in the order header.

In media sales and distribution, you can use the function Payment Different from Contract Acct. to change the payment method and additional data. You have the following options: y You select a payment method different to the contract account. y You select bank details or payment card data for the payment method that differ from contract accounts receivable and payable. The differing data is transferred to the invoice and the FI-CA document. „ Due to the payment controls in contract accounts receivable and payable (cash discount deadline + cash discount % / due date for net payment), you cannot use all standard FI terms of payment. The following restrictions apply: y You can only define one cash discount period. The second cash discount period is interpreted as the net payment due date, and must have the cash discount percentage 0.00. y The the terms of payment must be defined and valid for the whole month. y Installment payment conditions are not supported. y The system does not support the inclusion of a factory calendar during the conversion of terms of payment into corresponding due dates, which is possible in IS-U. The check to see whether a term of payment is suitable for use with FI-CA takes place when allocating the term of payment in the sales area data - customer invoicing - and during entry in the SD order. „ You can use the function Pyt According to Contract Acct to cancel the changed data. „

The account determination is not carried on in IS/M-CA. The accounts are determined in M/SD and transferred to IS-M/CA. The account determination only takes place in IS-M/CA for manual and automatic postings that are initiated in IS-M/CA itself, such as the posting of dunning charges and return charges. „ The customer line items from the SD invoicing document transferred to the accounting interface are enhanced with the following information: - General information (for example, reference specifications) - Information from the contract account (for example, account determination ID) - Information on main transactions and subtransactions for each company code and division (for example, dunnings, interest, payment) „ The business partner items are determined from the customer line items. This takes place in contract accounts receivable and payable. „ The information is derived using event 4000, which is called to enhance customer line items and G/L account items. „

For the revenue deferral, the system determines the revenues that have not yet been realised. The deferred revenues are posted to the G/L accounts, which are determined on the basis of conditions (Customizing for account assignment in Media Sales and Distribution) when creating the invoicing documents. „ For the general ledger accounting to be explained and reconciled by contract accounts receivable and payable, all pure G/L account transfer postings required for the revenue deferral must also be posted in contract accounts receivable and payable. These IS-M/CA documents are created with the origin indicator M2. „

1. Incoming Payment Incoming payments for renewal subscriptions are automatically allocated to order items, and thus trigger the subscription renewal. Incoming payments in IS-M/CA can be made by check, bank transfer, and cash payment. The incoming payment is made by specifying the assignment number and the amount. The system uses this to post a payment on account, which is indicated as a down payment and is given a payment block reason. This is to prevent a refund by bank transfer through the payment run. 2. Invoice Data Transfer The renewal offer is accepted in IS-M/SD when posting the payment document. An invoice index is generated, which leads to the creation of the invoice in IS-M/SD. Transferring the invoice to IS-M/CA generates a receivable item. In the document, corresponding references to the IS-M/SD fields are set. 3. Automatic Clearing and Account Maintenance The clearing of the payment document using the receivable item is carried out using the automatic clearing (clearing type 04) or account maintenance in dialog (clearing type 03). Both the automatic settlement and the account maintenance use the clearing control functionality. For this a new clearing variant with corresponding clearing steps is necessary. Clearing variant 002 is provided, which primarily uses the company code and assignment number to execute the clearing.

There are different methods for reversing an incoming payment in IS-M/CA: - Outgoing payment by payment run, with reference to down payment document - Outgoing payment by cash payment at cash desk, with reference to down payment document - Reversal of down payment document „ When posting the outgoing payment document or reversal document, the corresponding clearing document is cleared first (1), if the down payment document has already been settled with the receivable from the invoice transfer. In IS-M/SD the renewal offer is rejected again. The invoice is then cancelled and a cancellation invoice is created (3), which can be settled with the invoice receivable item (4). If the outgoing payment (2) is to take place by payment run, the payment block must be reversed in the down payment document. If the outgoing payment is at the cash desk, this is not necessary. „

If a customer pays for a subscription renewal by payment card or automatic debit, the renewal offer is accepted immediately when the incoming payment is generated, and the subscription renewal is extended. When this happens, the system creates a billing document index, which triggers the creation of billing documents. Once the billing documents have been created, the payment process can be divided chronologically in the following way: 1. Billing Document Transfer Transferring the billing document to IS-M/CA generates a receivable item. Corresponding references to the IS-M/SD fields are set in the document. 2. Incoming Payment The incoming payment refers to the item that was created when the billing data was transferred from IS-M/SD. In IS-M/CA, the incoming payment is made by payment card or automatic debit. 3. Clearing Clearing receivables items is triggered automatically by the payment run.

If an automatic debit is unsuccessful, a returns document is posted in IS-M/CA (2). When this happens, the system interprets returns activities in Customizing. When the returns document is posted, the clearing of the receivables item is reversed (1). a) Returns with the same payment method If the returns activity has been defined in such a way that the payment method is retained in IS-M/CA, recalculation does not take place in IS-M/SD when the returns document is posted, and the subscription renewal remains accepted. b) Returns without payment method When the returns document is posted, the acceptance of the subscription renewal is reversed in ISM/SD. The billing document is reversed and a cancellation billing document is created (3). The billing data transfer of the cancellation billing document, automatic clearing (4) and account maintenance for returns all correspond to the procedures described in the 'Other Business Transactions' unit. As result of this procedure, the customer is converted to an invoice payer. He or she receives a renewal offer that contains information from the returns document. The corresponding print program and form have to be created for each individual customer.

In the case of a complaint with monetary credit (1a), the expiry date of the subscription is not extended. A credit memo is generated in IS-M/CA. However, this is not paid out immediately. Instead it is used to reduce the payment amount for the subsequent renewal offer. To prevent the amount being paid out, you must set a payment lock reason (1b) for the corresponding transaction during billing data transfer. In the renewal offer, the customer is informed that the amount to be paid has been reduced by the amount in the complaint credit memo (2a). When the customer makes the payment, the system determines the credit item. The amount from credit item and the payment amount is accepted for the subscription renewal (2b). Once the invoice has been created, the open invoice item is created for the complete invoice amount (3). The payment is cleared against the invoice and credit document (4).

An FI-CA document is created for each transferred M/SD service settlement. The resulting FI-CA documents are created with the origin M3, and are recognized as separate documents. „ During employee settlement, the contract account is allocated in the employment relationship, in the case of service company settlement it is allocated in the settlement data for the service company. When an employment relationship is created, the contract account can be automatically generated and allocated using the SAP enhancement JG050002. The contract account is determined and recorded in the billing header when the service settlement is created. It is then transferred to the document. „ The receivables account is determined at event 1101. The standard module defined there determines the receivables account using the settings in main or subtransaction account assignment. „ In addition to the data in the service settlement, the following information is also determined and transferred to the IS-M/CA document: - Type of the IS-M/CA document - Main transaction and subtransaction „

Table IST_TDATA contains all RM-CA data for the telecommunication services that originates from the mySAP CRM telephone number management or an external system. This includes the following data from the telecommunication services: Object key (OBJECT_ID): This field is used to uniquely identify every entry in a service at a particular event. You can, for example, use the complete telephone number (country code + area code + number), the SIM card number (for cellular network providers), or the IP address (for internet service). Service (SERVICE): This field determines the telecommunication service (for example, telephony) the object key belongs to. Validity (VALID_FROM): This field contains the date from when an entry is valid. You can allocate, for example, a telephone number (telephony service) to two different contract accounts with different validity periods. Grouping information (GROUP_ID): For the telephony service, every entry is a telephone number. In the case of multi-line connections, it must be possible to group together telephone numbers. This is because the billing system can cumulate individual call data records as document items for each telephone number and transfer them to RM-CA. In some cases, data can even refer to several telephone numbers (such as a basic charge). The GROUP_ID guarantees the unique relationship of document item - telephone number.

Services are billed in an external billing system. However, the resulting receivables are managed in contract accounts receivable and payable. As a result, invoice items must transferred to contract accounts receivable and payable. The data is transferred via the interface for billing documents. In contract accounts receivable and payable, the invoice lines are automatically posted as open items to the corresponding contract accounts and business partners. If necessary, you can also enter additional account assignments for profitability analysis (CO-PA) in the interface or add them via Customizing, and transfer the accounting information to profitability segments. „ For further information on the invoice interface for IS-T, see the online documentation for the Telecommunications industry component. „

In this function, the Disconnect Services activity is triggered in a dunning run of unpaid items once a certain dunning level has been reached. The disconnection is executed in an external system, such as an external billing system (EBS). This system has to know which service is to be disconnected. The information for disconnecting a service is generated as a disconnection file in RM-CA and transferred to the external billing system. The disconnection file from RM-CA only contains a disconnection proposal. The external billing service actually disconnects the service. A service disconnection is executed in the following steps: 1.The dunning activity Disconnect Service is triggered in the dunning run. 2. The disconnection file is generated. An entry is generated in the disconnection file for each open item. In addition to the standard fields, you can also include further document fields in the table structure. You can use the SAP enhancement ISTDUNN1 with the function module EXIT_SAPLIST_CA_DUNEVENT_001 to maintain your own fields. The disconnection files have the following naming conventions: Disconnection file from dunning activity run: BTnnnnnnn Disconnection file from simulation run: BBnnnnnnn The file is transferred to an external system (for example, an external billing system). At the end of the dunning run, the file must be transferred to your billing system using your own interface program. You have to define your interface program in the function module Transfer (Dis)Connection File for Services Via User Exit (EXIT_SAPLIST_DUNEVENT_001) of SAP enhancement ISTDUNN1.

In the statistical procedure, the budget billing amounts are managed in IS-U statistically. They are not posted to the general ledger until payment has been received. „ In the partial bill procedure, the individual amounts are posted directly as debits. „ In the budget billing plan, an average amount is determined either by simulation or manually. The customer pays this average amount for a period of 12 months. At the end of this period, a new simulation is run for the next period. In addition, actual consumption is calculated monthly, and the results are printed on the bill. In addition, the difference between the customer's actual consumption and the average amount is calculated, updated monthly, and printed on the bill. In the last month of the billing period, the actual amount and the accumulated difference are billed. „ In average monthly billing/equalized billing, the customer is charged an average amount based on billings over the last 12 months (or less in the case of new customers). In addition, actual consumption is calculated monthly, and the results are printed on the bill. The amounts due for later months are calculated using the average of the previous (maximum 11) months plus the current bill and the accumulated difference. This difference is updated monthly and is also printed on the bill. In final billing, the amount due is derived from the actual consumption and the accumulated difference. „

If you select the debit entry procedure, the budget billing requests are posted as partial bills. This makes them relevant to the general ledger. „ When a partial bill is posted, the due budget billing is posted as a debit both in subledger accounting and general ledger accounting. The partial bills posted as debits are then cleared with the next annual consumption billing. „ Unpaid partial bills are subject to the normal dunning procedure. „ In this procedure, tax is posted to the general ledger and paid to the tax authorities when the budget billings are entered as debits. „

If you want to activate the advance payment function for a budget billing plan, call this function in the change transaction (EA62) using the path Edit -> Activate Advance Payment. Enter the date from which the budget billing plan is to be identified as an advance payment plan. The first due date when the print date /debit entry date is larger than or equal to the start date is doubled, all others are give the indicator X (normal advance payment) in the Advance Payment column. The last due date of an advance payment is flagged with 'L'. The print/debit entry date of the first due date is entered in the header data of the budget billing plan as the start date of the advance payment. When the advance payment is activated, the system also checks if the following requirement is fulfilled: Budget billing cycle * number of due dates = length of period (for example, 12 months = 12) If it is not fulfilled, an additional due date is added to the last day of the budget billing period. „ You must always initially activate the advance payment functionality in a budget billing plan manually. When create new budget billing plans for subsequent periods, you must always make sure that the advance payment is activated. Important: If the advance payment is activated in a budget billing plan of a mandatory group for an individual contract, the advance payment is active for all mandatory contracts. „

The aggregated posting to the supplier's contract account is not a statistical posting. The items are posted in the general ledger using two clearing accounts that have to be balanced at year-end closing. Aggregated posting is gross. Tax is posted with the posting to the individual customer account. You should not include the aggregated postings when open item lists are created, since this would distort the actual amounts.
