If you want a payment card company to carry out settlement, proceed as follows:

1. From the Accounts Receivable menu, choose Periodic Processing ® Payment cards ® Settle
2. Enter the company code and the G/L account from which the open items are to be selected.

You can also select the line items according to the payment card company, the last digits of the documents or the merchant ID.

3. Enter the document type for the settlement document.
4. Execute the program.

The system receives the result of the settlement from a function module that documents the result (error message, refusal reasons) at line item level.

The system automatically reopens refused receivables (cleared items are reset) and can then be included in the dunning or payment program. Note however, that the system can only reset the items if the document contains the customer items. If not, the items need to be regenerated from the billing items.

You can view the settlement log. Choose Periodic Processing ® Payment cards ® Display log from the Accounts Receivable menu.

To delete obsolete logs (once 14 days have elapsed). Choose Periodic Processing ® Payment cards ® Delete log from the Accounts Receivable menu.
