You can set up account substitution so that system substitutes account information based on a defined account substitution rule. You can create rules for an enrichment and validation check by using a BAPI in the standard system or by using the Manage Account Substitution Data transaction.

Note Note

This document describes how to create rules by using the Manage Account Substitution Data transaction.

Prerequisites

You have defined the settings for account substitution. To do this, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose   Payment Engine   Referential Data   Account Substitution   Manage Account Substitution Data   (transaction /PE1/MN_ACCSUBS).

Features

Matching

So that the system can identify the correct account for substitution, specify one field or a combination of fields:

  • IBAN

  • BIC and account number

  • Bank country, bank key and account number

Recommendation Recommendation

You can use the wildcards * and + in the above fields.

However, for performance reasons, we recommend that you limit the amount of entries with wildcards.

End of the recommendation.

You can use the following fields to narrow down the set of matches:

  • Referential BIC

  • PE Transaction Type

  • Bank Country

  • Referential Country

  • Referential Bank Key

  • Referential IBAN

  • Account Holder

  • Holder of Referential Account

  • Transaction Amount from/to

  • Remittance Match Code

Note Note

  • Fields that you do not specify are not included in the matching process.

  • When matching according to transaction amount, you must specify a lower limit and an upper limit with the corresponding currency. Transaction amounts outside that amount interval are excluded from the match list.

  • If you specify a remittance match code, the system scans the remittance of type unstructured remittance information (/320) of the payment item for the defined pattern.

  • Consider adding a preceding and a trailing wildcard (*) for remittance match codes. In this way, the system will also retrieve longer remittance information that includes the match code. Using wildcards within the remittance check does not impede performance.

End of the note.

You can specify matching data in addition to account information in the following cases:

  • You want payments that are targeted for a specific account to be distributed to a set of accounts according to further rules (1 : n).

  • When you use wildcards and the retrieved substitution data is not unique but should be restricted further (n : 1).

Retrieval according to specificity

If several matching substitution records, the system selects one record according to the following criteria (with decreasing precedence):

  • Match Code has been specified

  • Amount to has been specified

  • Preference for higher values of the field sequence number

Check method – activation and implications

The enrichment and validation check method is /PE1/CL_PO_E_EV_CHECK_PI, CHECK_E_ACC_SUBSTITUTION.

If the system finds a matching account substitution record, the system replaces the account information of the payment item with (non-initial) substitution fields.
