Snapshot Statements 

Use

You can use this function to create a snapshot statement at the request of an account holder.

Integration

In technical terms, a snapshot statement is an event-controlled bank statement. In business terms, however, creating a snapshot statement does not affect the creation of the regular bank statements. This is because they change neither the due date of the next bank statement nor do they change the account balance saved from the last bank statement. The items displayed on the snapshot statement are shown again on the next regular bank statement.

Prerequisites

The account has the active contract feature Bank Statement.

In the Customizing for Account Management (FS-AM) under Item Management ® Bank Statement ® Triggering Events for Event-Controlled Bank Statement ® Define Events you have scheduled an event with the due date category Latest On or On and have set the Snapshot Statement on this event.

For more information about scheduling events and about the due date categories, see Scheduling Creation Dates Using Events or Application Examples: Due Date Categories.

Scope of Functions

It is only possible to create a snapshot statement in a mass run for bank statement creation. From the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Account Management ® Periodic Tasks ® Bank Statement ® Start Mass Run. The events that were scheduled in Customizing are processed in the mass run.

If an event is scheduled for a regular bank statement for the same date as a snapshot statement, only the regular bank statement is created since the event of the snapshot statementalways has the lowest priority in event processing.

Example

Case 1:

The last regular bank statement was created on May 22, 2005. According to the settings on the account, another bank statement is due after a maximum of 30 days.

A customer would like an additional bank statement on June 21, 2005. An event is scheduled with the necessary settings for June 21, 2005. No other event is scheduled for this date. On June 21, 2005, a snapshot statement is created.

A regular bank statement is created for June 22, 2005. This bank statement contains all information as of May 22, 2005.

Case 1Case 2:

The last regular bank statement was created on May 22, 2005. According to the settings on the account, another bank statement is due after a maximum of 30 days.

A customer would like an additional bank statement on 06/22/2005. An event is scheduled with the necessary settings for 06/22/2005. The event for the regular bank statement is also scheduled for this date.

The system creates a regular bank statement for June 22, 2005, but not a snapshot statement.
