Special Features of Changes with Effect in the Future 

When you change payment data with effect in the future, the system saves the data in different ways. This is dependent on:

·        The object being processed (bank details or payment card)

·        The master data affected (business partner or contract account)

·        The program mode (create, change, delete)

When you change bank details, the system saves the data as follows:

·        Creation in the future

¡        The bank details are saved in the master data of the business partner, whereby the Valid From date is in the future.

¡        Planned changes are saved for the contract accounts affected.

·        Change in the future

¡        The bank details are changed in the master data of the business partner.

¡        No changes are made for the contract accounts affected.

 This procedure only applies if existing bank details are overwritten; if you create new bank details in change mode, the procedure for creation in the future applies.

 A business partner has bank details 0001 for Deutsche Bank in Munich. These bank details are valid from 08/05/2005 to 12/31/9999. Bank details 0001 are assigned to contract account A. The customer calls and informs you that, with effect from 11/15/2005, he has bank details for Citibank in Heidelberg. The bank details for Deutsche Bank are no longer valid. Using the transaction Change Payment Data, the call center agent carries out the changes for 11/15/2005.

The system changes the bank details as follows:

§         For the new bank details at Citibank, the system creates the new ID 0002 with a Valid From date 11/15/2005.

§         The previous bank details 0001 with Deutsche Bank are changed; change date 11/15/2005 and target bank details 0002 are entered.

After the change, the bank details are as follows:

§         ID 0001 Deutsche Bank, valid from 028/02/2005 to 11/15/2005, target bank details ID 0002, change date 11/15/2005

§         ID 0002 Citibank, valid from 11/15/2005 to 12/31/2005

After the change, ID 0001 is still assigned to contract account A.

·        Deletion in the future

For the bank details the Valid To date is set in the future in the master data of the business partner.

The system saves changes in the contract accounts affected.

When you change payment cards, the system saves the data as follows:

·        Creation in the future

¡        The payment card is saved in the master data of the business partner.

¡        Planned changes are saved for the contract accounts affected.

·        Change in the future

The change function does not apply for payment cards. The system therefore automatically switches to the Change mode.

·        Deletion in the future:

¡        The payment card remains in the master data of the business partner.

¡        Planned changes are saved for the contract accounts affected.
