Recommended Sequence
of Configuration Tasks):

3. Create the following keys for posting rules:
¡ 02VO for vendor confirmation

5. Create a transaction type and assign external transaction types to your posting rules
In most cases, your bank uses the same return codes for vendor operation and standard return files. To differentiate them in the system, use these special suffixes when you define the posting rules for vendor operation:
¡ V1 for the return file, including the credit data from the bank
¡ V2 for the information of customer payments or overdue items
¡ ER for the scenario of overdue items – in this case you add the suffix to a posting rule that already exists, indicating additional error treatment.
Make the following settings:
