Direct Debit Payment

[Former Member]

Hi All,

If for a customer under Direct Debit,if there are two contracts and a single contract account and open items are posted to contract level, as per standard SAP, whether a single payment document will be created in the same payment run for the customer or separate payment documents will be created?

My requirement is to create a single payment doc and I need to know whether this is possible in standard SAP or any enhancement is required for this?

Thanks,

Banasri

Hi,

I think your requirement can be met by standard SAP.

However, you need to do some configuration in the settlement rules. To start with, you need to create a clearing variant, in where the clearing step will check the due amount at the contract account level.

So, in the grouping string there will be contract account and Item is due or not., where as in the sorting characteristic , it will be sorted by due date with deferal.

Once the clearing variant is created,assign the clearing variant against the clearing type 06 in the following configuration-

IMG->Financial Accounting->Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable->Basic Functions->Open Item Management->Clearing Control->Define Specifications for Clearing Types->Define Defaults for Incoming Payments

Hope it helps....
