Transfer Payment from Contract Account 1 to Contract 2 with Payment History

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus

We have a requirement where the client wants to transfer a payment ( from payment lots) from Contract Account 1 to Contract Account 2 with the payments reference not getting lost and retaining the original document number. Normally if we do an FP40 , since a new document is being created the document's history is lost.As such people use the option of Clarification Worklist ( by reversing the payment ) and then pushing the document into Contract 2. Is there a possible way with which we may auto trigger the payment into the two step process : -- 1) Push the document into Clarification Worklist and then 2) post the document into the new BP/Contract ? Please provide me suggestions on how to accomplish this requirement.

Thanks

Hi D.S,

I am not very clear about your requirement.

If you want to transfer payments from one CA to another, the best approach is to route the payment through payment clarification worklist (CWL) to the second account.

By following this approach the identity of the document remains as it is and nothing is lost.

However, there can be scenarios, where the original payment document have been reset cleared resulting in creation of new reset cleared documents,which can't be reversed back to  payment CWL.

The two step process that you have mentioned is actually increasing the payment amount, because even if the payment is reversed back to CWL, it remains and will show up against the Clarification GL.

Instead try to update the payment refernce number in the transfer documents that are getting posted while performing a transfer thru FP40.

You can use event 5090 for the purpose.

Hope it helps in answering your query.

Cheers,

Hi Amlan

Thanks for your reply.

The requirement here is to auto process the two steps - transfering the Payment to Clarification Worklist and Transfering Payment to the new Contract Account using one single step.There may be exceptions ( eg reset cleared items) which are being ignored.

Can a two fold BDC programme be triggered from one single Z transaction code for fulfilling this requirement ?

Thanks
