Use

General requests authorize the acceptance or service of revenues or expenditures of the same type, without the amount, the payer or the due date having to exist beforehand. It must be supplemented by a concrete payment request (the fixing rule).

For general payment requests, the receiver must be specified.

Integration

General requests are entered as funds commitments (expenditure side) or estimated revenues (revenue side), with the special document type "general request".

Caution

Because general requests are created with the amount 0 as a funds commitment, you must select the indicator Unlimited overdraft . If this indicator is not set, you get an error message when saving the payment request referring to it, on account of exceeding the amount.

Features

The funds commitment or estimated revenue, which is used to map a general request, is created with a special document type and the amount 0. In a payment request, reference can be made to this funds commitment or estimated revenue. Every reference to the general request for the funds commitment can thus be documented in the usage history. This means that it is always possible to identify the amount for the fixing rule.
